Urban Forestry Board reviews 2026 work plan and seeks clearer Arbor Day coordination
Summary
Board reviewed a draft month‑by‑month 2026 work plan and recommended adding explicit staff/board coordination for Arbor Day planning, clarifying which months require meetings and incorporating inventory and beetle‑monitoring tasks.
City staff presented a draft 2026 urban‑forestry work plan that lays out month‑by‑month responsibilities and suggested event timing. The board approved the general structure but asked for clarified notation where board involvement is expected and for better coordination between staff and the board on the Arbor Day planning timeline.
One board member asked that January–March entries explicitly add "staff and urban forestry board coordination" for Arbor Day tasks so planning and promotion are timed appropriately. Jackson noted that "The minimum for the board, per the resolution that established the board, is for every other month meeting," and members asked the plan to reflect meeting cadence and capacity. Members also asked staff to consider volunteer capacity, location constraints for events, and to include inventory and beetle‑monitoring demonstrations as part of training modules.
