Summary: Yermo School has 15 Chinese Elm trees that are in desperate need of trimming/removal services. The current status of the trees is dangerous due to the possibility of falling branches which often occur during the high winds in our area. In the recent past, there have been incidents of branches falling, without injury or property damage. To ensure the highest possible level of safety for our students, staff and property, these trees need to be trimmed and/or removed.

There are a total of 15 Chinese Elm Trees that need service. 6 in the front of the school area that will be crowned and thinned, 2 trees that will be thinned, and 7 trees near the cafeteria area that will be removed. 6 of these trees are completely dead and 1 is diseased.

Work will be performed during weekends to further ensure the safety of our staff, students and property, and also to not be a noise distraction.
Funding: OPS General Fund, $10,900.00.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Governing Board approve Unique Landscaping for Tree Services at Yermo School.
