Council amends tree ordinance to require contractors, not homeowners, to apply for permits
Summary
Council approved an amendment to the Village tree ordinance shifting the administrative duty to apply for tree permits from homeowners to tree contractors; the change was moved by Nancy Thill and seconded by Brian Cassidy.
Nancy Thill asked for a motion to amend the Tree Ordinance, proposing that tree contractors — rather than homeowners — apply for tree permits. Brian Cassidy seconded the motion and the council approved the amendment.
Thill said the change aligns responsibility with the party performing the work and will streamline permit processing; Lesley, the incoming Urban Arborist, will revisit the tree survey maps and support implementation. The minutes did not record an ordinance number or an effective date; staff were expected to update permit procedures to reflect the change.
