brush clearance program - palm tree trimming? Fines?!?

[Michael Phillips]

I received a letter from the City of Los Angeles regarding brush clearance for 2019.  It lists what needs to happen in terms of clearance by April 30th and I think I am good all except for maybe a palm tree that is in my yard.  It definitely has some dead fronds on it but Waaaaay less than the ones in the median across from my house that they city maintains.  Does anyone have experience with these inspections?  Any good suggestions for palm tree trimming services?  The first fine looks to be around $250 and if it is not fixed in two weeks it jumps to $1,100?!?   Now I know why people are moving to Texas...
