• This woody material, as it was not purchased, would not be subject to the need to be declared surplus material for sale by City Council. • That persons bidding sign a 'hold harmless' waiver as part of issuing their quote. • That the City may withhold from this disbursement process hardwoods for preparing quality woodchips for municipal use, for sale, or to give away to residents at the discretion of the City. • That this policy may be amended by City Council at any time. Funding Source: Funding is not required for implementation of this policy; and it is estimated that this may generate between $50 to $1,000 on an average per year for the city's General Fund. Further, these monies may be thought about in the context of defraying some of the costs to chip brush, that is made available free to the public, or is occasionally used as mulch or soil enhancements for city purposes. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends implementing the above policy with stipulations noted; and will bring back any significant changes for consideration if it is found that it may be improved upon. Committee Action: Motion to recommend City Council approval of the Policy for the Disposition of Surplus Wood and Tree Waste Form Review Inbox Reviewed By Date Grant Riemer Grant Riemer 03/09/2011 08:50 AM Brian Olson Brian Olson 03/09/2011 09:56 AM Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 03/10/2011 01:44 PM Form Started By: Mark Riverblood Started On: 03/08/2011 12:53 PM Final Approval Date: 03/10/2011
