Summary
The Fairview City Council approved Ordinance 2, 2026, updating chapter 12.25 to simplify code language on trees and shrubs affecting streets, traffic signs and sidewalks; the amendment takes effect 30 days after adoption and staff will begin outreach and implementation planning this summer.
The Fairview City Council on June 3 adopted Ordinance 2, 2026, which amends the municipal code chapter addressing trees and shrubs that affect streets, traffic signs and sidewalks.
Staff said the revision streamlines code language and updates the city’s street tree list. A letter of support from the county health department was received and entered into the record. Staff told council the ordinance becomes effective 30 days after adoption and outlined a summer timetable for finalizing the street tree list, adopting public‑works standards and conducting outreach to residents and landscape contractors.
Councilors asked about timelines for notifying residents and for arranging tree planting programs; staff said outreach and contractor education will take place this summer with planting and enforcement activities focused in the winter/spring of 2027.
The council opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers and approved the ordinance on second reading by roll call.
