Council authorized staff to submit an application for the Protect Community Forest grant. Staff described the program as offering up to $150,000 per applicant with no city match and noted the grant does not cover staff time but would fund hazardous-tree removal and replanting on private properties.
One councilmember thanked the tree board for its work and moved the resolution; the motion was seconded and the council approved the application by voice vote. A councilmember noted the program is relatively rare and a useful tool to address storm-damaged trees and risk to buildings.
