Without it, some residents may decide <br />it is easier to have the City take care of it, and delay their payment until property <br />taxes are due the following year. <br /> <br />2) Ordinance 101.09 - If the community decides not to require root graft disruption <br />at property boundaries (parts a and b), part c should still be adopted. <br /> <br /> A community's shade tree disease ordinances, with the exception of 101.08(a) (the <br />part about the administrative fee of $50 as described in note 2) a~nd 101.09, must be <br />at least as stringent as these sample ordinances to meet the requirements of the State <br />Shade Tree Disease Statutes. <br /> <br /> <br />
