We look forward to your partnership in our efforts to continue and further develop a concerted Urban Forestry Management Program. As Mayor of the City of Fayetteville, I fully support the environmental and social values of a program which will protect current trees and aid in the renewal of the urban forest. It is our desire that this project will become a model in which other cities will duplicate and improve environmental quality. Our proposal requests $20,000 in Urban Forestry Assistance funds. We envision building upon our collaborative success by developing our urban forestry management program with you. Sincerely, Mayor Dan Coody 113 WEST MOUNTAIN 72701 179.1643471 FAX 479321771/ • • • "Each generation takes the Earth as trustees. We ought to bequeath to posterity as many forests and orchards as we have exhausted and consumed." J. Sterling Morton Project Scope Since the early 1990's, the City of Fayetteville has shown concern and commitment towards the urban forest. The creation of the Tree and Landscape Committee, the adoption of a Tree Protection and Preservation Ordinance and the allocation of $60,000 in Capital Improvement Funds towards the planting and maintenance of public trees has been achieved. Beginning in 1999, a concerted effort has been made to develop a comprehensive management plan for maintaining and improving our Urban Forest; • In 1999, the city was awarded an Urban and Community Forestry Grant for an assessment of our city's urban forestry management needs. This was initiated to increase awareness of Urban Forestry and to encourage the City Council to support a comprehensive movement toward the development of the program. • From this assessment came the impetus for a street tree inventory that began in 2001 and was completed in 2002. The city's street trees were inventoried along with planting spaces in certain neighborhoods of the city. • Currently, a comprehensive Urban Forestry Management Plan is being developed based on the state of the trees inventoried and from the organizational and budgetary information gathered from the city's administration. • The year 2003 brought about a reorganization of the city which placed the responsibility of Urban Forestry with the Parks and Recreation Division, a division that could support the program with additional staff time and a larger operational budget. This reorganization also brought the creation of a right-of-way program within the Transportation Division. They will assist in the pruning of trees within the roadway comdors. Through review of the Urban Forestry Management Plan draft, currently under development by Burditt and Associates of Houston, Texas, the Management Plan anticipates staffing and equipment needs for in-house maintenance of street trees. As stated in the Plan, To accomplish the task of maintaining a programmed maintenance pruning scheduled for city street trees, it is estimated that the following minimum personnel/resources will be required: • A 3 -man crew equipped with chipper trucks (one with attached aerial bucket), chipper, pole saws, and necessary safety and climbing gear. " Our grant application request is for assistance in purchasing the above recommended equipment; a box truck with aerial lift and a pull behind chipper. It is our request that the Urban and Community Forestry grant cover the cost of a new chipper with the City's match covering the cost of the aerial lift, box truck and the associated staff time required to administer the purchase of the equipment and to perform operational and safety training for the crews using the equipment. The truck and chipper will be shared by the Parks and Recreation Division and the Transportation Division. The Parks and Recreation Division will utilize the equipment to implement a cyclic pruning schedule within the City's Parks and other city owned and maintained property. The Transportation Division will utilize the equipment while implementing a plan to perform Crown Cleaning and Crown Raising on trees within City rights-of-way. As part of this grant request, the City's Transportation Division has recently developed a pilot program to determine the efficiency of utilizing a chipper in their right-of-way program. A 4" throat chipper was rented for the crews to use. Prior to the use of the chipper, the crews took thirteen trips to the compost facility to dispose of approximately 2,600 lbs of branches. With the use of the chipper, only one trip to the compost facility was required to dispose of the same amount of material. With a larger diameter chipper, even more time could be saved when pruning or clearing larger branches. As well, a mobile chipper would save time at the compost facility where unchipped branches would have to be loaded by a separate crew into the tub grinder in order to reuse the branches as wood mulch. This efficiency in staff time, and the environmental benefit of producing wood mulch versus displacing branches into a land fill, would be greatly improved with the use of this equipment. A compact, easily maneuverable 85 HP auto feed brush -chipper with 12 -inch capacity is proposed to meet the demand of the pruning program. An appropriate hand fed chipper can save more than 200% in disposal running costs. By processing greenwaste on-site utilizing a wood chipper, a compacted product is produced which will reduce hauling costs while also generating an environmentally fnendly matter which can be reutilized. We are currently researching and preparing specifications for the purchase of an aerial lift truck with dump bin for use in conjunction with the chipper. The aerial lift will reach a working height of sixty feet. Many of the city's trees are of a size requiring a bucket truck as opposed to climbing which increases safety risks for employees. Attached is the cost estimate for the equipment along with the amount of staff time necessary to enhance the pruning program We would appreciate a favorable review of this grant request with the understanding that this request will assist in the continuation and further development of a concerted Urban Forestry Management Program. 1 • .::• - .O vim• _4 ° Lv0 • 6 ,t o • . • .
