(a) The City shall have the right to plant, prune, maintain, remove and manage in any manner trees, plants, and shrubs upon public grounds, as may be necessary to insure public safety or to preserve or enhance the symmetry and beauty of such public grounds.
(b) The Tree Commission may recommend to the City Manager removal of any tree or part thereof which is in an unsafe condition or which by reason of its nature, is injurious to sewers, electric power lines, gas lines, water lines, or other public improvements, or is affected with any injurious disease, insect or other pest. If so determined by the City Manager, such removal action may be taken by the City. Nothing in this section shall be construed as to limit the authority of the City Manager to authorize removal of any tree or part thereof which said Manager deems to be of an injurious nature without recommendation of the Tree Commission.
