MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of Dublin City Council
CITY OF DrBLI\ FROM: Timothy C. Hansley, City Manager
DATE: June 3, 1993
RE: Tree Management Grant
Initiated by: Fred Hahn, Parks Administrator
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has a matching grant available for
management of the urban forest. This grant can not be used for tree planting purposes. The
Park's staff wish to apply for this grant, and if awarded, undertake a park tree inventory. The
advantages to this inventory include:
1. Determine the total number of planted park trees.
2. Assess condition and general health of park trees.
3. Aid in planning for budget purposes and staffing levels.
4. Improve management decisions in developing parks and in maintaining
current park trees.
5. Determine percentages of tree species and genera, helping to assure
a diversity of trees within the parks.
6. Facilitate replacement of dead trees.
7. Improve tree maintenance.
8. Provide a historical record.
If awarded, we would contract an intern to do the inventory and mapping. The duration
of the project is estimated to be 9 months. Total cost to the City of Dublin is $7,625.00. We
will build this cost into our operating budget in 1994.
This project is something that staff has wished to do for a long time, but have not been
able to schedule. I feel this is a wonderful opportunity to achieve this goal at minimal cost to
the City.
Part of the grant application is a proclamation by Council. The grant deadline is June
10th, so we would need this resolution passed at the June 7th meeting. I have forwarded the
sample resolution to Anne Clarke. Contact me for further information or to answer any
questions.
