The grantee shall not, and shall prohibit any officer, agent, employee, contractor, or subcontractor which it retains, remove or trim any tree or portion thereof (either above, at, or below ground levels) which is located within a street, unless the removal or trimming is done in accordance with a specific tree trimming plan or general tree trimming policy which has the prior written approval of the Director of Public Works. Such approval may be given or withheld upon such terms and conditions as the Director of Public Works deems appropriate. Any such plan or policy shall set forth standards governing tree trimming/removal and shall provide for regulating in special circumstances, including actions taken in violation of the plan or policy. Each grantee shall be responsible for and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the County, and its officers, agents, and employees, from and against any and all damages arising out of or resulting from the removal, trimming, mutilation of, or any injury to any tree proximately caused by the grantee, or its officers, agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors.
