Storm Cleanup Information for Residents
After a storm city Parks and Recreation staff is committed to survey the public related damage and commence cleanup operations on city streets and public property. Depending on the severity of the storm, focus is first on opening streets, access to homes, then access to sidewalk and lastly collection of public debris.
Public Tree-Related Storm Damage
If you have had property damage related to a public tree please report that damage to the service ticket under Personal Property Damage. We will get the tree or tree part cleaned up and an accident/incident report can be filled out. Please report any damage to your insurance company.
Storm damage clean up can and often does create a prioritization of work load. Storm work takes priority over most other forestry work. This storm damage clean up can take anywhere from days to weeks for cleanup to be completed. Debris piles will be the last item to be addressed so long as they are not impacting use of a roadway.
Private Tree Storm Damage
City staff will assist with private trees if they are blocking the street. In this case we would open the street, place the debris aside and the homeowner would be responsible for cleanup.
City crews do not pick up or haul material from private property trees. Wood waste can be taken to an approved wood waste facility.
