(A) No person shall plant, spray, prune, remove, cut above or below ground or otherwise disturb any tree on any street or municipal-owned property without first filing an application and procuring a permit from the Village Manager, or designee, or otherwise specified municipal authority. The person receiving the permit shall abide by the arboricultural specifications and standards of practice adopted by the Village Manager or designee. No permit, however, shall be required for any municipal employee doing such work in the pursuit of their public service endeavors. No permit shall be required to cultivate or water public trees, shrubs or plants.
(B) The Village Manager or designee shall have the authority to require posting of a bond adequate to fully repay the village for any and all costs attendant to the completion of the work under the permit. In addition, the contractor is required to show adequate insurance from potential damages during the execution of the work, name the village as an additional insurance rider, and sign a hold harmless clause.
