Council approves tree-planting rebate program offering up to $100 per tree
Summary
City Administrator Justin Weiland presented a Tree Planting Rebate Program that offers property owners up to $100 rebate per tree, capped at two trees per property annually; the Council approved the program (MOTION 26-43).
City Administrator Justin Weiland presented a Tree Planting Rebate Program to incentivize tree planting on private property and within the public right-of-way. The program allows each property owner to receive up to $100 per tree, with reimbursement for up to two trees per property on an annual basis. The Council approved the program and a Boulevard Tree Policy under MOTION 26-43; Aaron Otten moved and James Erck seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes record program parameters (per-tree rebate and two-tree annual cap) but do not specify eligible tree species, application procedures, or funding source; those details would be required before implementation.
