NRAC to serve advisory role on tree initiative, seeks UVU and agency partners
Summary
After a successful City Council presentation, the commission agreed to an advisory role on the tree initiative and recommended an executive steering committee that includes NRAC, the urban forester, parks, public works, communications, Central Utah Water Conservancy District and UVU representation.
Commission members reported that the tree initiative presentation to Orem City Council was successful and focused next steps on determining which department or group will 'own' the program. NRAC agreed to take an advisory role, with commissioners proposing that an executive steering committee include representation from NRAC, the urban forester, the parks department, public works, events and communications/outreach, Central Utah Water Conservancy District and Utah Valley University (including student engagement).
The commission requested access to the slide presentation (Bradley Day noted the slides are available on the City website) and discussed NRAC’s advisory role in outreach and connecting with UVU students. No formal assignment of operational responsibility or budget was recorded during the March 5 meeting; the commission framed its involvement as guidance and coordination pending identification of an owner for implementation.
