Inside BR city limits so is this something the city will at least trim the branches off the power lines

yes, the power lines are over the utilities right of way so call the power company, and report the issue, and say that you fear the wires will be pulled down by the trees in a thunderstorm.

after they cut all branches near the power lines you will most likely only have half the tree left there to cut down.

i had a friend who did this and he gave the power companys tree cutting guys $100 each to cut it all down and haul it off so all he had left to deal with was the stump. if they wont help you out, they will still have cleared it from the power lines so you can cut the rest of it down yourself
