Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

 

In response to Order #201905, please find attached the Law Department's response to the order to "develop or amend an ordinance covering trees on city-owned properties, (including schools), that extends the protections and requirements for public notice and hearing currently enjoyed under state law for 'public shade trees,' i.e., trees that are located on city streets."

 

A draft ordinance has been attached for your consideration and review.

 

Please contact me if I can be of any further assistance.
