§ 159-14. Replacement of trees; collection of costs; disposition of moneys received.

All trees removed from City property, such as highway spaces and parks, shall be replaced with other trees by the Shade Tree Commission, whenever this is practical and conditions are suitable to so do. Trees lost to the City by accidents, construction mishaps, utility line failures, etc., shall be replaced by the Shade Tree Commission, and the cost of such tree and replacement work shall be billed and collected from the person, company, corporation or utility responsible for such loss. Moneys derived from this source or any other source, such as the sale of wood from dead or destroyed trees, or living trees removed by permit or any other reason, shall be credited to the Budget Account of the Shade Tree Commission for use in the maintenance and upkeep of the shade tree expansion program in this City.
