Committee Approves Involving Randy Duncan in Tree-Selection Decision amid Climate Concerns
Summary
The committee approved a motion to involve member Randy Duncan in decisions about tree species after he raised concerns that the current comprehensive-plan zone designation (7–11) may not suit the township under changing climate conditions; the Board of Supervisors had designated 'Dillers' as the supplier, which the committee flagged for further review.
Committee member Randy Duncan raised concerns about the township comprehensive plan's current plant-zone designation (zone 7–11) and said that designation "may not be practical due to our changing climate," arguing the committee should be involved in selecting tree species rather than relying solely on the Board of Supervisors' designated supplier, identified in the minutes as "Dillers."
A motion to have Randy participate in the tree-selection decision was approved at the Aug. 4 meeting; the minutes record the motion as approved by motions of Linda Melham and Joe Leardi. The minutes do not record a vote tally. The committee recommended that Randy be an integral part of the planting decision and that the township address the zone/species guidance in light of climate considerations.
