McKinney's reforestation fund sits near $1.8M; staff averages 100''to''300 plantings per season
Summary
Staff told the Tree Board the reforestation fund balance is about $1.8 million; current practice results in roughly 100 to 300 trees planted per season and annual planting expenditures around $50,000'$200,000 depending on activity.
During Q&A, staff discussed how the fund operates and typical planting volumes. Mr. Worthy said the city typically plants between 100 and 300 trees per planting season and that annual spending on plantings has ranged roughly from $50,000 to $200,000; he also said the reforestation fund generally rolls over from year to year.
On the fund balance, a staff speaker said the fund currently sits at about $1,800,000, reflecting recent development-driven mitigation payments. The board discussed how expanding fund uses and adding a CIP component would allow the city to direct money toward infrastructure-impacted canopies and private-property voucher programs.
