(a) Notice of Removal. The Manager shall examine all trees that appear to be within 100 feet of any public utility line as described in Section 945.05(b) and, if a tree is found to be dangerous or causing damage, he shall give to the tree owner or the person having charge or control of the tree, including an administrator or executor, written notice of his findings and request the removal of the tree by the owner or person having charge or control of the tree within forty-five days. Proper service of such notice shall be by personal service, residence service or by registered mail; provided, however, that such notice shall be deemed to be properly served upon such owner or person having charge or control of the tree, including an administrator or executor, if a copy thereof is sent by certified mail to his last known address.
(b) Noncompliance. Upon failure of the person or persons to comply with the notice to remove any tree in accordance with subsection (a) hereof, the Manager shall cause the tree to be removed by use of Village personnel and equipment or by hiring private individuals and equipment. Upon completion of such work as is required to remove the tree, the Manager shall cause the expenses and labor costs incurred to be determined and a statement therefore to be mailed to the proper person or persons.
