Tree Debris Removal

Dear Neighborhood Leaders,

 I must compliment the exemplary manner in which the homeowner associations of Bixby have confronted and handled the recent weather crisis. While there is still much work to be done, I feel that with the continued coordinated efforts of each association's board of directors and residents we will be successful. 

 Last Saturday the Bixby City Council approved the Interlocal Agreement with Tulsa County for the curb-side removal of tree debris. As there are several potential sites under consideration, the Bixby City Council will reconvene this Thursday, December 27th, at 9:00 am, to approve the site.

 Beginning today, if you so choose, you may begin stacking tree limbs and debris at your curbside location for pick-up by Tulsa County. This will begin after January 2nd, 2008. Please be aware that initial pick-up may take 45 to 60 days or longer and is reserved for residents of Bixby, Bixby Public Works Utility customers, and per the agreement with Tulsa County, citizens within the Bixby Fence Line.

 Should you choose to remove debris yourself you will need a voucher to gain entrance to the proposed site. These vouchers should be printed and available for pick-up at City Hall by Bixby residents, Bixby Public Works Utility customers, and citizens within the Bixby Fence Line, after January 2nd, 2008.

 Please remember that no tires, hazardous materials, liquids, or appliances will be allowed to be dumped at the site. Anything other than tree limbs or tree debris will be turned away.

 I will be sending out additional information regarding the vouchers, etc., after the Thursday, December 27th City Council meeting confirming the site location.

 Best regards,

Vic Bell

Neighborhood Association Coordinator
