Council amends tree‑permit rule to shift application responsibility to contractors
Summary
Council approved an amendment to the Tree Ordinance to require tree contractors, not homeowners, to apply for tree permits. The change was moved and passed during old business on June 13.
The Village of Michiana council voted to amend the Tree Ordinance so that tree contractors, rather than homeowners, must apply for tree permits. Nancy Thill moved for the change, Brian Cassidy seconded, and the motion passed.
Thill noted the Tree Board is transitioning staff—Steve Lane is leaving and Lesley will be the Urban Arborist reviewing the maps and permitting process—and cited the change as an administrative improvement to shift permit responsibility to professionals.
