To the City Council:

 

I hereby request, subject to the approval of your Honorable Council, an appropriation in the amount of $100,000.00 from the Capital Stabilization Fund for tree planting, as called for in the most recent Capital Investment Plan (CIP) project list issued in June 2019.

 

The funding will allow the City to increase the number of public trees and work towards our goal of increasing our tree canopy. It will supplement the $150,000 for tree planting included in the FY20 budget for the Public Space & Urban Forestry division.

 

Thank you for your consideration of this matter. My staff is available to answer any questions you may have.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor
