§ 9-26  YARD TRIMMINGS.
   (A)   The city will remove all limbs, brush, logs, stumps, tree trimmings and related materials provided that the same are cut in lengths not to exceed four feet where the same are in excess of two inches in diameter and provided that the same are placed immediately back of the street curb or drainage and are of a size and shape that removal can be made by one person.
   (B)   The city will not remove limbs, brush, logs, stumps, tree trimmings or related materials exceeding four feet in length or associated with the removal of an entire tree. Removal of these items shall be the sole responsibility of the property owner. If the materials or debris are not removed within 15 days of deposit, the same will be removed by the city, at the property owner’s expense, at the rate of $25 for the first 15 minute period or portion thereof and each subsequent 15 minute period the city force works removing the yard trimmings. The Street Superintendent will be responsible for maintaining an accurate accounting of the time. All work time will be rounded up to the nearest 15 minute increment. The property owner will be invoiced for this amount and the same shall be paid within 30 days of the billing date. Failure to pay the invoice within the prescribed time period will result in water shut-off to the residence.
   (C)   The city will not remove any trees, limbs, brush, logs, stumps, tree trimmings and related materials from any lot on which a residence is not built. The city will also not remove any such materials from a lot prior to a residence being built thereon. Removal of these items is solely the responsibility of the property owner.
