Tree board prepares housekeeping amendments to city tree code for council consideration
Summary
Board members unearthed a short list of noncontroversial 'housekeeping' amendments to the tree code and asked staff to circulate them; staff indicated bundling them with upcoming ordinance changes could speed council action.
The Lake Forest Park Tree Board flagged a brief set of housekeeping changes to the city’s tree code, largely focused on definitions and technical clarifications, and asked staff to circulate the draft language ahead of the next meeting.
The chair said the items appeared noncontroversial and could be bundled with other pending ordinance changes — such as updates related to exceptional trees — to present a comprehensive package to the City Council. Sam Call agreed to review the items and recommended compiling them with other code changes so the council could consider them together.
Board members asked for the draft code amendments to be shared electronically as soon as possible so members could review them before the February meeting. They also asked staff whether the revisions should be scheduled as a standalone agenda item or combined with the broader ordinance updates already in process.
