Shade Tree Commission eyes block-level tree trimming, proposing a ~$17,000 allocation

Aug 5, 2026

Shade Tree Commissioners discussed using just over $17,000 to fund block-level tree trimming and possibly purchasing bare-root replacement trees; commissioners plan to draft a cleaned-up ordinance for council review.

Members of the Shade Tree Commission reported they may use a little over $17,000 to trim trees in whole blocks, which commissioners said is more cost-efficient than spot trimming. The commission also discussed buying bare-root trees to replace dead specimens and assigned three members to review the new ordinance language for grammatical cleanup before presenting it to council.
