The city sent her a certified notice to immediately remove hazardous trees stating the city would do it and lien the property after 10 days... ever notice how these things always arrive on a Friday afternoon?
The surveyor came with maps and called the city from the site and spoke the city surveyor and said the trees in question are on city land...
eventually the city came and removed the trees...
I'm sorry, this is plain rude, giving an elderly widow 10 days to get rid of trees that may not be a problem at all.
Then apparently the city drug their feet on it once they discovered it was on their own property.
I think the city should have been given 10 days to remove the trees, then paid the woman $1000 a day for every day they stood beyond their own 10 day deadline.
One regularly hears about California wildfires wiping out whole communities, so there is some reason to the madness, even if the governemnt goes a bit overboard with their demands.

Anyway, perhaps another option would be to downgrade. Perhaps get something like a D2, Oliver OC-4, or Case 310, TerraTrack, JD 40C, or similar dozer. It sounds like it is pretty steep, so a ROPS equipped small dozer might be good.
