San Bruno City Council Meeting June 8, 2010 10c. Tree Inventory
A
B
This
Adam
before
you
tonight
is
to
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
an
eighteen
thousand
dollar
contract
with
West
Coast
arborist
to
perform
an
inventory
of
City
maintained,
parks,
trees,
street
trees,
trees
and
open
space
areas
that
are
adjacent
to
homes
or
other
structures.
In
addition,
West
Coast
arborist
will
provide
a
tree
management
software
and
the
training
of
the
software
to
the
parks
division.
B
Having
this
inventory
will
allow
staff
to
capture
maintenance
history
on
each
tree
to
better
understand,
maintenance
and
needs
and
workloads
to
reduce
the
city's
liability
and
improve
the
health
of
our
urban
forests,
as
well
as
encouraging
planting
of
other
trees
throughout
the
city.
Funds
for
the
inventory
will
be
coming
from
a
grant
from
a
bag.
B
The
association
of
very
Bay
Area
governments,
the
grant
funds
can't
only
be
used
for
outside
consultant
purposes,
for
forming
risk
management,
related
tasks,
and
one
of
the
conditions
of
the
grant
is
that
work
needs
to
be
completed
by
the
end
of
June
west
coast.
Arborist
was
selected
as
the
vendor.
After
considering
proposals
for
many
different
qualified
vendors,
West,
Coast
arborist
was
is
being
recommended
because
they
are
supplying
the
best
price.
The
best
collection
of
data
and
software
training
you
know,
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
You
may
have
questions.
C
B
With
this
type
of
this
type
of
thing,
never
this
vendor
before,
but
more
and
more
these
trees
system.
These
tree
management
systems
are
the
industry
becoming
the
industry.
Standard
West,
Coast
arborist
is
has
over
125
cities
that
they
are
working
with
the
1
I'm
familiar
with
was
done
by
one
of
competitors
that
we
did
examine.
We
did
it.
We
did
contact
them
for
their
information,
but
seems
as
the
west
coast
arborist
is
providing
a
better.
B
C
A
basic
user
friendly
program
that
staff
can
because
obviously
there's
a
limited
time
per
phone
training
as
well
as
on
training.
So
and
then
that
expires
my
picture
that
would
cost
after
that
period.
But
you
for
what
you
are
hearing.
This
is
pretty
easy
to
gain
the
information
and
utilize
it
and
train
others.
It
isn't.
B
Tree
that
is
maintained
instead
of
having
to
click
on
each
tree
and
say
the
maintenance
was
done
if
it's
just
trimming,
and
they
did
you
know
two
or
three
blocks
of
time.
You
can
put
all
that
information
with
one
click.
You
can
bulk
all
of
the
trees
within
that
region
if
they
were
all
done
and
uploaded.
So
if
they've
got
lots
of
systems
in
there
to
speed
up
the
process
and
states
that
save
staff
time.
Thank
you.
D
E
B
That
is
correct.
That
would
be.
That
would
be
part
of
the
division
budget
request
each
year.
Although
the
city
will
own
the
data
and
any
data
that
is
collected
during
the
year,
that
we
will
be
able
to
keep.
If
we
choose
not
to
move
forward
with
the
maintenance
contract
on
the
software
system,
we
would
be
able
to
stop
that
any
year.
E
Okay,
so
we
would
on
the
data,
but
access
to
the
system
then
would
just
that
would
cease
at
that
time.
Chris,
okay
and-
and
you
anticipate
that,
on
a
going-forward
basis
that
there
would
be
some
significant
value
to
having
our
data
on
that
system
versus
just
maintaining
it
some
other
way.
We
do.
Okay,.
D
B
Have
we
have
many
of
the
streets
you
most
of
the
street?
Trees
are
on
an
excel
spreadsheet,
but
they
do
not.
They
do
not
list
the
conditions
of
the
trees.
Some
include
the
species,
some
do
not
they.
We
don't
have
long-term
maintenance
records
in
history
of
them,
so
this
will
give
us
a
much
better
starting
place.
