The following letter addressed to Mayor Smekta from C. A. Armstrong, City
Engieee; was read:
"Mayor Alex P. Smekta
City of Rochester, Minnesota
RE: Root cutting along sidewalks
Dear Mayor:
In reply to your call of last week regarding a root cutting machine to
cut tree roots along side of the public sidewalks, I submit the following:
The Sidewalk Inspector and Iare both very aware of the problem of tree
roots raising and disrupting the sidewalks in residential areas. This
is especially troublesome due to the fact that the property owner is
responsible for the cost of the sidewalk replacement, while the City
controls the planting and removal of trees (Ordinance,772).
I be that the purchase and operation of a root cutter to prevent
tree roots raising and disrupting the sidewalks in residential areas
would be a reasonable undertaking, and it should be started as soon as
funds are made available. It could be operated by either this department
or the Park Department, but because of mill limits on both of these funds,
it would be impossible to finance the costs within their limitations.
Payment of this operation from the General Fund would seem to be necessary.
Presently we are preparing the Sidewalk Replacement Projects for 1965.
There are over a hundred locations in Northeast Rochester alone that
require sidewalk replacement, and the majority of these are due to tree
roots. It seems foolish to replace these sections of walk without also
cutting roots that cause the trouble. If the -root cutting machine is
available at the time the sidewalk is replaced, it may prevent reoccur-
rence of the trouble in many instances.
Your help in this -matter is deeply appreciated. The initial cost of the
machine is about $3,700. Its operation for 4 months during the summer
would probably cost $3,000 for labor and supplies.
Yours truly,
/s C. A. Armstrong, City Engieer"
