TREES City Manager Kennedy stated that the City is receiving a great number of calls to pick up Trimming and Removal leaves from the gutters and also to request trimming of trees, of Leaves The cost of tree-trimming as people think it should be done would be prohibitive. The present City policy is that if the City planted the trees, then is our our responsibility to take care of them; if the people planted them, it is their responsibility. Picking up leaves throughout the City would also be an expensive service. Commissioner Sharp proposed that this situation be given some publicity in the newspapers educating and advising the people how to dispose of this type of trash and just what the responsibility of the City is in such cases. It is very probable that the people just don't know any different. Mr. Kennedy further stated that the Southern Nevada Disposal, Inc. will pick up limbs that have been tied into bundles not to exceed 10 feet in length and not to weigh over 100 lbs. Leaves will be picked up by the disposal company if they are put in a container. This is a part of the service people are paying for. The City has a machine for picking up leaves by vacuum for cleaning park areas; however, an several occasions when the machine was used to serve the general public, machine was frequently damaged by a bottle or can other objectbeing mixed up in the debris which has caused repair bills of as much $2,000 to the machine. 10-15-58
