Actually that was Jerry.
And to answer one of Scott's questions TPO trees don't get council funds
for
maintenance (generally though some councils offer grants) but they get a
lot
of officer time in dealing with applications, and giving advice. Whereas
the Council owned trees tend to be under funded and get less people
resource. I think - but that's another study.
Dom
Thanks for that explanation. Certainly the staff time is going to be higher
where TPOs are. Are there any common ratios of TO salary, etc and "field"
expenses in management programs?
