Upon the discovery of any destructive or communicable disease or other pestilence which endangers the growth or health of trees, or threatens to spread disease or insect infestations, the City Tree Board shall at once cause written notice to be served upon the owner of the property upon which such diseased or infested tree is situated, and the notice shall recommend measures to be taken by such property owner to eradicate, remove or otherwise control such condition within a reasonable time to be specified in such notice.

The City Tree Board shall have as one of their duties the location, selection and identification of any trees which qualify as "landmark trees”. A tree may qualify as a "landmark tree" if it meets one or more of the following criteria: Species rarity, unusually old age, association with a historical event or person, abnormality, or scenic enhancement.

“Landmark trees" may not be removed or altered without prior written approval of the City Tree Board, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
