RE: Tree Trimmer License held by Lazry James Duffney, d/b/a Trees and More for the City of
Saint Paul
License ID #: 20010003086
Dear Mr. Duffney:
The Office of License Inspections and Environmental Protection (I.IEP) has
recommended adverse action against the above-referenced license. The basis for the
recommendation is as follows:
On October 29, 2003 you were sent a letter from the Office of
LIEP indicating that your license had expired and that you
needed to submit license fees and late payments. You were
given until November 7, 2003 to respond, but as of today's
date, no payments have been received, nor have you indicated
that you no longer wish to do business in Saint Paul.
The recommendation of the Office of LIEP will be for suspension of your license until the
insurance information has been submitted.
At this time you have three options on how to proceed:
If you do not dispute the above facts and wish to avoid further adverse action, you must
submit payment for your license fees and late fees, to the Office of LIEP, Room 300
L.owry Professional Building, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102, no
later than Monday, November 10, 2003. The information should be directed to Che
attention of Ms. Christine Rozek.

2. If you do not dispute the facts, but no longer wish to do business in Saint Paul, you may
write a letter to that effect and send it to the address above.
3. If you do dispute the above facts, you may request a hearing on the facts, which will be
scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At that hearin� both you and the City
will be able to appear and present witnesses, evidence, and cross-examine the other's
witnesses. The St_ Paul City Council will ultimately decide the case.
If you have not contacted me by December 8, 2003, I will assume that you are not contesting the
facts and will schedule this matter for a hearin� before the City Council for a consent agenda, at
which time your license to do business in Saint Paul will be suspended until fees have been paid
in fuli. ,
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 266-8710.
Sincerely, �
