RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Rochester that the City adopt
the following policy for resolving tree root/sidewalk conflicts:
1. The City will require a specific sidewalk repair technique for locations where
sidewalk is damaged by tree roots.
2. The City will be responsible for the entire cost for any subsequent sidewalk repairs
at these locations if the new sidewalk repair technique is utilized.
3. This repair technique would be done solely by City sidewalk contractors so that the
City can control the "extra" cost that the City would pay under this Policy.
4. The City will encourage the use of the "Tree Ring Installation Guide" from the City
of Minneapolis.
