. � . - REGULAR MEETIIIG OF TFiE ORONO COUPICIL, JULY 10, 1979 Page 18 In the case of Orono, we could receive up to $14, 687 SHADE TREE PROGRAM* under this grant program, (50$ of $29 , 373) . (Continued) The stipulations for participating in the program are as follows: l. City must complete 1979 Shade Tree Program application form. 2. City must complete 1979 Shade Tree Program Description forr,i. 3. City must have a certified tree inspector. 4. City must have an authorizing resolution relating to the 1979 sanitation and reforestation program and budget. 5. City must have an ordinance and/or perr.►it system dealing with the utilization and storage of elm firewood. 6. City must designate the area in which shade tree disease control and reforestation activities will be conducted. 7. City must appoint up to seven residents, or designate an existing municipal board or committee to serve as an advisory committee to the City on the reforestation program. Over the past several years, Council has acted on all of the preceeding requirements except items 4 & 7 , which were not previously required. A resolution is enclosed dealing with item 4 and should be passed if found acceptable. - - In the past two years, the City has submitted a reforestation budget under the grant program but for one reason or another has not incurred any costs under that portion of the shade tree program. For 1979 , the budget estimate for reforestation costs is $5, 105 of which this City is eligible to receive ` $2 , 552 (SO%) . If it is determined that we will probably not be incurring costs under the reforestation part of the program in 1979 , then it is not necessary to complete the requirement under iter.i 7. If it is deterriined that we should participate in the reforestation • portion of the program, I believe that we can have some • extra time to complete item 7 because of the short notice of this requirement. .
