Council adopts tree-planting ordinance under federal grant
Summary
Ordinance 24-26 authorizing tree planting services under the same federal forestry grant was adopted unanimously; the ordinance was waived for readings and included an emergency clause to protect time-sensitive grant milestones.
Port Clinton City Council on July 14 adopted Ordinance 24-26 to authorize tree planting services funded by the Urban and Community Forestry Inflation Reduction Act grant. Council waived the three-reading requirement, retained the emergency clause, and approved the ordinance on a 6-0 voice-roll call after a motion by Mr. Tarolli and second by Mr. Robertson.
The auditor presented the ordinance as part of a package of grant-funded tree work; the planting line item was presented as $90,000 in the auditor's summary. Council members said purchases by the Tree Commission will proceed with plantings scheduled for fall to maximize survival.
