Case 4: Evergreen Tree Removal and Transplantation |
| Forms of restructuring |
intermunicipal cooperation - cooperation with other public agencies; privatization - cooperation with private companies |
| Specific services affected |
Penfield has hundreds of evergreen trees to be cleared from a new park. The trees were given to other towns, County agencies and two private clubs that cooperated in this effort. Some of the towns helped dig up trees, and all of the towns and the county transplanted trees to their own lands. The private clubs hired special equipment and labor to dig up the largest trees - some were transplanted to the clubs, and some were moved to other locations within the new park at no cost to the town |
