Moral: Unless these trees will hit something if they fall over, DON'T
INVOLVE THE GOVERNMENT. The county will burn down your house, kill your dog,
molest your children, and deport you to Slovenia. The trees will remain
untouched.

Other Moral: That's why they *FLAG* the problem tree, so there's less
ambiguity about it. If the homeowner had flagged the dead tree with
fluorescent tape and specified that when reporting the problem the first
time, there's a good chance even the dimmest of crew chiefs could have
figured out which tree was the problem.

Private tree services can have the same problems, don't assume you're
off the hook if you hire them yourself. Flag the tree, put a sign on
it, and *be there when the work is done* even if it means unpaid time
off work.
