All infected trees on municipal property shall be promptly cut down by the municipality under the direction of the Superintendent of Public Works. When the tree found to be infected is located on private property, the Village Clerk shall notify the owner in writing if the owner resides within the municipality, such writing to be delivered to the owner’s residence. If the owner does not live within the municipality, the notice shall be given by registered mail addressed to the person to whom was sent the bill for general property taxes for the preceding year. The notice shall inform the owner that the tree or trees are infected and shall direct that the infected trees be removed within 30 days from the date on which the notice is served or mailed.
