There is hereby established a share the cost parkway tree planting program, to be administered by the village manager or his designated representative. Said program shall be voluntary and shall involve the planting of parkway trees upon the parkways in front of residential properties within this village, at the request of the residence owner and the payment, by the owner of fifty percent (50%) of the cost of said tree and the planting thereof; the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the cost of said tree and the planting thereof to be borne by the village. No such parkway tree planting shall be undertaken under this cost sharing program unless an amount to cover the village's portion of said cost has been first duly appropriated and the village has designated the parkway areas to receive trees and the types of trees to be planted in such areas; nor shall such cost sharing program interfere with or otherwise restrict the village from engaging in parkway tree planting separate and independent of resident owner participation. All such parkway trees planted pursuant to this voluntary cost sharing program shall be and remain the property of the village. (Ord. 1816, 8-15-1988)
