The City’s Tree Policies and Guidelines Manual describes the day-to-day maintenance operations of the urban forest. The manual was written in the late 90s and over the years it has been updated to address changes in urban forest industry and the priorities of the community. These have been minor changes to address grant requirements, water restrictions, and nursery stock standards. However, much has changed in the industry over the years. Since the manual's adoption in the 90s, it has never been reviewed by an outside urban forest professional.
In July 2023, the City contracted with Dudek to review the manual. The goal of the review is to recommend changes that meet industry standards, while considering community character, fiscal responsibility, and compliance with State and local regulations. Additionally, Dudek will make recommendations on reforestation goals, appropriate planting, and infrastructure versus tree conflicts. Recommended revisions will go through a robust community input process. We encourage the community to participate in the process.
