Please note: Although the location says 708, the address has been changed to 748. This report is in regard to a dangerous city tree. I am currently building a house at 748 N. Oolitic. There is a city alley right-of-way that runs behind my property from West 12th to West 11th. Only part of this right-of-way is actually used as for vehicle traffic. From roughly my northern property lot to West 11th St, the right-of-way is trees and grass. Within this section, there is an Ash tree that is dying/dead. This tree is in a location where any limbs or the entire tree itself would fall on my brand new house, my fence, or the shed I will be having placed in my backyard. As you can imagine, this is of huge concern to me. I am hoping the city could remove this tree as quickly as possible before any damage occurs. Right now it can be as easily accessed as it ever will be because my shed is due for delivery in 7 to 8 weeks and the rest of my fence is due to be installed not soon after that. With the wind and storms this time of year, this tree scares me. Believe me, I would have dealt with this sooner, but the tree wasn't in this condition last year. I hope you can help me out asap. Thank you.

As I reported last year (ticket #181156) there is poison ivy on one of the street trees in the tree plot. These trees are in the Treekeeper database and so I must assume that they are under the city's care. The photo here shows a robust, hairy vine and the berries have come in. It needs to be removed before the birds poop the seeds around.

Climate tax

Case Date:

Climate Tax: I do not support Mayor Hamilton’s proposed 37% increase to the local income tax rate to address climate change. Mayor Hamilton has stated that the additional revenue will be used for a “sustainability fund” to “mitigate climate change” and “work for climate justice.” I have no idea what he means by “climate justice,” and the notion that actions taken by a small midwestern city could have any measurable impact on changing the global climate is ridiculous. But more importantly, this proposed tax in regressive and hits people living on a fixed income and the poor the hardest. If you want to help the poor and people living on a fixed income, don’t take any more money away from them for another wasteful government spending program.
