Commission reviews training and outreach materials, plans council presentation; minutes approved by voice vote
Summary
Members recapped a recent Tree Commission Academy, selected short how-to videos and brochures for the commission website, discussed an upcoming state-of-urban-forest presentation to council, and approved the Jan. 13 meeting minutes by voice vote.
Commissioners recapped a two-day Tree Commission Academy held in Kent and discussed selecting short instructional videos and brochures for the commission—s website.
A commissioner who attended the academy described it as a condensed, two-day training that drew roughly 20–25 participants and was led by instructors identified as Joe and Matt; homework includes reviewing city ordinances. The commission said it prefers short (under five-minute) instructional videos for pruning, planting and mulching and asked staff to compile a short list (non-commercial where possible) and to post ISA brochures as PDFs alongside the videos.
Members discussed an upcoming presentation to city council on the state of the urban forest scheduled for either March 6 or March 20; Andy is expected to lead that presentation and staff will confirm the final date. Commissioners said the presentation typically outlines the urban forest—s condition and funding needs and may be used to request additional resources.
Formal action: the commission approved the minutes from the Jan. 13 meeting by a voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes.
Next steps: staff will circulate candidate videos and brochures for the website, confirm the council presentation date with Andy, and distribute the approved Jan. 13 minutes to commissioners.
