reported he has been pursuing the idea of a coordinated street tree pro-
gram on 0ld Bayshore, first presented to the City Council in a letter
dated February 19, 1975, After being requested by the Council at a
study meeting Iast year to contact some of the property owners and busi-
nesses, he can now report that out of 20 contacts, on ly one was notfavorable. Mr, Brown's communication continued with a request of theCity to proceed with a preliminary plan, notify property owners and allow
those not interested to be excluded. He suggested the City assume fullcost of pl anti ng 5 gal I on trees, owners desiring l arger trees to pay
the di fference in cost. l,Jhi le the program is being implemented, it might
