r . . <br /> • REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, JUNE 27, 1977 Page 23 <br /> � It was also agreed that a $25. 00 subsidy per tree SHADE TREE PROGRAM <br /> to the property owner would be as much as the (Continued) <br /> � City of Orono could afford. This would be for <br /> a 6-inch diameter tree or larger. <br /> • <br /> • Mr. Beach has projected in a ten-year period <br /> that 5, 400 elm trees would be susceptible to <br /> � Dutch elm disease, with at least a 70$ loss <br /> ratio for a total of 3, 780 elm trees that would <br /> � have to be removed because of Dutch elm disease. <br /> • If the City of Orono is to participate in the <br /> • subsidy portion of the program, the projected <br /> cost to the City for a ten-year period will be <br /> ' $94, 500. 00. Of that amount, 45 percent will <br /> be refunded by the State, if their program is <br /> � in existence for that long a time. If the <br /> program should terminate prior to that time, we <br /> r would re-evaluate the subsidy portion of the <br /> program. <br /> � � <br /> • The following is a projected breakdown per year <br /> for ten years. You will notice that Mr. Beach <br /> + projects the disease to peak in 1981, with a <br /> moderate decrease after that year. <br /> � <br /> Ten-Year Breakdown - Page 24 <br /> � Paurus moved, Mayor Van Nest seconded, to <br /> �' participate in the State of Minnesota Sanitation <br /> ` and Replanting Grant, as proposed by the City <br /> Administrator, limiting the subsidy of the <br /> � Sanitation Program to the property owner to <br /> $25. 00 per tree six-inch diameter or larger on <br /> � 1/2 acre lots or smaller in the present control <br /> zone as stated in the proposed program.
