Board member selected for Tree Commission Academy; draft urban tree grant plan reviewed
Summary
Staff said one board member (Rich) was accepted to the Tree Commission Academy in Lebanon and presented a preliminary urban tree grant plan that would seek bids in fall and aim for planting in spring 2027; committee members asked about placement, sightlines and costs.
Staff member told the group “we have 1 member of this board, that got accepted into the Tree Commission Academy, and, that is Rich,” and recommended the board send him as the committee representative.
Staff also introduced a draft urban tree grant plan that breaks proposed plantings into neighborhood groups (Old Troy, Buford, Shellgate) and includes tree selections and mulch designs. Staff said quotes and bidding will be sought this fall with planting and implementation targeted for spring 2027. Committee members raised concerns about proposed trees placed between sidewalks and the street — noting possible sightline and curb-cut conflicts — and asked staff to provide color copies and cost totals not included in the packet.
