Re: Yeim Tree Trimming
Ms Garlick,
The purpose of this letter is to formally resolve the tree pruning of a City of YeInn street tree by one of
your employees. To date informal phone cans and emails have not resolved the situation.
The situation is that an employee of Comcast did prune back branches around an overhead Comcast
cable, The pruning was completed without coordinating with the City of Yelm and in an unprofessional
manner, See attached photos and professional report,
l think it is appropriate to state the City of Yelm's concern that a company with a franchise agreement
with the City of Yelm that does not understand the provisions of the agreement or would proceed
contrary to the terms of the franchise agreement.
To resolve the matter I am giving you the option remitting a $250,00 fine and submitting to the City of
Yelm a pruning plan by a licensed professional arborist for our review and approval or the City of Yelm
will contact our professional arborist to complete the job and bill Comcast accordingly plus the fine.
You have 15 days from the date of this letter to respond with your choice of options.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss further- options I may be reached at 360 -458 -8407 or at
arc ci. elm.wa.us.
Sincerely
Gary Carlson _..r
