Is it safe to use free mulch made from a city's (Jacksonville, IL) brush and tree trimmings around trees in one's yard? Is there a danger of diseases and insects being brought into the property and potentially harming the trees?

There are no guarantees in life! However, the "probability" of that happening is generally considered to be very low.
