Recitals
A. The Town values its urban forest and as such it plans for the care and maintenance of Town trees on public property and budget annually for the planting, maintenance, and removal of Town trees. That plan and budget is based on normal weather patterns, scheduled maintenance, and minor unforeseen pruning needs.
B. The El Nino weather pattern of February of 2024 brought storms of epic proportions to the Napa Valley. More specifically as a result of the storms, the row of Town Redwood Trees along Hopper Creek parallel to Heather Street from the end of Oak Leaf Court to Oak Circle, suffered several failures of various degree.
C. The Town Arborist performed an inspection on the row of trees and the recommendations based on the findings are five redwood trees within the row of redwoods that are hazardous and need to be removed. This budget adjustment will provide funding for the Town to hire a tree contractor to remove the five trees which is work beyond the annual budget.
Now therefore, the Town Council of the Town of Yountville does resolve as follows:
1. Authorize a budget adjustment addition of $70,000 FROM General Fund Contingency TO Parks Maintenance Fund 01-4320-4210 Contract Services.
2. The resolution will also authorize the Town Manager to sign the tree contract for said work.
3. This Resolution is hereby adopted and becomes effective and in full force immediately upon adoption.
