Council amends tree ordinance to require contractors to apply for permits
Summary
Council approved an amendment to the tree ordinance making it the responsibility of tree contractors — not homeowners — to apply for tree permits. The change passed during old business.
During old business Nancy Thill moved to change the tree ordinance so that tree contractors, rather than homeowners, will be required to apply for tree permits; Brian Cassidy seconded and the council approved the change.
Thill presented the amendment and framed it to clarify the permitting process and place application responsibility on professionals performing the work. The council recorded the motion as passed with no further conditions or amendments.
Council also noted a staff transition for tree work: Steve Lane is leaving and Lesley will take over as Urban Arborist and revisit the tree survey maps.
