The Village shall have the right to cause the removal of any dead or diseased trees on private property within the Village, when such trees constitute a hazard to life and property, or harbor insects or disease which constitute a potential threat to other trees within the Village. The Village Tree Commission will notify in writing the owners of such trees. Removal shall be done by said owners at their own expense within twenty-one days after the date of service of notice. In the event of failure of owners to comply with such provisions the Village Council shall have the authority to order the removal of such trees and assess the cost of removal on the owner or owners of the property on which the trees are located.
