Committee approves consent resolution urging electric board to coordinate on vegetation management
Summary
The committee approved a consent resolution asking the electric power board for performance metrics and collaboration with Metro departments and conservation groups to ensure vegetation management and outage prevention are balanced with tree canopy health.
The committee approved a consent resolution asking the electric power board to provide performance metrics and to continue collaborating with the Metropolitan Department of Water and Sewage Services, the Metropolitan Tree Advisory Committee, Cumberland River Compact, National Tree Conservation Corps and the National Tree Foundation to refine vegetation-management changes so outage prevention is compatible with a healthy tree canopy.
The chair said the resolution was sponsored by Allen Weiner and others and was placed on the consent calendar; the committee voted to approve the consent group without a pull. The resolution asks the board to work with Metro departments and conservation groups and to provide information about training and performance related to tree maintenance and outage prevention.
