City staff reports Douglas-fir hazards at 10317 Jordan Road used by Little League

Public Works Director Charles White reported at the Jan. 14 joint work session that several Douglas-fir trees along the northern property line of city-owned land at 10317 Jordan Road have caused safety and property concerns.

The parcel is used by Granite Falls Little League. White said staff solicited bids for tree removal, had the trees assessed by a certified arborist and paid a claim to repair fence damage resulting from a falling tree.

White presented the issue as an ongoing maintenance and safety matter; the transcript records staff action to obtain bids and an arborist assessment but does not record a Council vote or a finalized contract award.

No dollar amounts or contractor names were provided in the meeting record. City staff indicated the matter remains under consideration and that repairs and removal options have been pursued in response to the damaged fence.

If the council directs a formal procurement or contract award in a future meeting, staff said they will return with contract details and cost estimates for Council approval.
