Regular tree mainte- nance is designed to promote the urban forest health, maintain vigor, and reduce spending on service requests outside of the regular maintenance cycle.

A regular trimming cycle can iden- tify problematic trees before they be- _ come hazardous, saving the City thou- sands of dollars over the long -term and reducing the potential risk of liability. Throughout the past fiscal year, West '- Coast Arborists pruned over 9,600 trees in accordance with the 2002 -2003 fiscal year contract.
