RE: Tree Trimmer & 1 Vehicle license held by Lone Oak Tree Service, Inc. d/b/a
Lone Oak Tree Service, Inc. for the City of Saint Paul
LicenseID # 0062543
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI) has recommended suspension of the
Tree Trimmer & 1 Vehicle license held by Lone Oak Tree Service, Inc. d/b/a Lone Oak Tree
Service, Inc. for the City of Saint Paul. The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
On December 16, 2008, you were sent a letter from the Department of
Safety and Inspections stating that your license was being placed "on
hold" until you submitted a current certificate of General Liability
insurance for the coverage period of September 7, 2008 through
September 7, 2009. DSI records also show that you have not submitted
current vehicle information (year, make, model and license plate
number). You were given until December 30, 2008 to submit the
requested information. As of today's date that information has not been
received.
At this time, you have three options on how to proceed:
1. You can submit the requested insurance and vehicle information. If this is your
choice, you should send it directly to the Department of Safety and Inspections, at
375 Jackson Street, Ste. 220, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-1806 no later than Monday,
February 2, 2009. Information should be directed to the attention of Christine
Rozek. A self-addressed envelope is enclosed far your convenience. Submission of
the requested insurance and vehicle information will be considered to be a waiver of
the hearing to which you are entitled.

2 If you wish to admit the facts but contest the penalty, you may have a public hearing
before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to send me a letter with a statement
admitting the facts and requesting a public hearing. We will need to receive your
letter by Monday, February 2, 2009. The matter will then be scheduled before the
City Council for a public hearing to determine whether to suspend your license. You
will have an opportunity to appear before the Council and make a statement on your
own behalf.
3. If you no longer wish to do business in the City of Saint Paul, you will need to send a
written statement to that effect to the Department of Safety and Inspections, at 375
Jackson Street, Ste. 220, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-1806 no later than Monday,
February 2, 2009. Information should be directed to the attention of Christine Rozek.
If you have not contacted me by that date, I will assume that you do not contest the
suspension of your license. In that case, the matter will be placed on the Council's Consent
Agenda for approval of the recommended penalty.
If you have questions about these options, please feel free to contact me at 266-8710.
Sincerely,
��C��-� / (.��u� G��I
