The city has completed its annual mistletoe abatement process in an effort to keep City trees healthy. The abatement process requires a survey of private trees during the months of December and January. If mistletoe is found, property owners are given time to remove the mistletoe prior to City Council approving abatement the mistletoe and the property is billed for the removal. City ordinance No. 174, states that “every owner of real property within the corporate limits of the City shall keep such real property free and clear of all mistletoe.”
Please be advised that a private tree(s) on this property has been identified as having mistletoe.
Therefore, please have the mistletoe removed by:
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2024
Failure of the owner of any real property in the City of Patterson, or the occupant thereof, to remove or destroy such mistletoe, will result in removal by other means and expenses incurred will be sent to the owner(s) of the property. On Monday, FEBRUARY 19, 2024 the final survey will be performed and the final list will be submitted to Council on Tuesday, February 20, 2024 at 7:00 p.m., and the City Council will consider the abatement of any mistletoe remaining on this property.
Please note, that the city is also in the process of removing the mistletoe from all city-owned trees. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Manny Lopez at (209) 895-8173 or by email at [email protected]. Attached is information on mistletoe and an example of what it looks like.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
