Council hears annual Trees Atlanta service agreement; staff says $13,000 already funded in tree fund
Summary
City staff presented a yearly renewal with Trees Atlanta for urban tree services, noting the contract price remains $13,000 and is funded from the city's tree fund with flexibility to increase if demand rises.
City staff briefed council on a yearly service agreement renewal with Trees Atlanta for planting or related tree services. Staff said the contract price is unchanged from last year at $13,000 and that the expenditure will be paid from the city's tree fund, which typically has sufficient balance for the program. The contract includes flexibility to expand funding should additional community demand arise.
Council asked no substantive questions beyond expressing support: “More trees,” several members said in brief exchange. There was no formal recorded vote at the work session; the item was presented for approval/renewal as part of staff action items and staff indicated the contract is funded and ready to be processed.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the yearly renewal as budgeted from the tree fund and will bring any substantial changes back to council if necessary.
