(a) The Shade Tree Commission may determine whether any tree existing on any public place in the Village:
(1) Requires trimming so as to insure the public safety or to preserve the symmetry of the beauty of such public place;
(2) Should be removed due to its unsafe condition or which by reason of its location and nature is injurious or threatens injury to public improvements in the Village; or
(3) Should be removed due to being infected with any injurious fungus, insect or other pest which cannot be otherwise controlled.
(b) Upon making any such determination, the Shade Tree Commission shall recommend to Council action to be taken to address any matter as specified in subsections (a)(1) to (3) hereof. Council may cause the trimming or removal of any tree by using Village employees or private contractors under contract with the Village.
