Moved by Sarah Boren.
Debated
The motion recommended the city automatically offer to replace a dead or ill tree being removed with a free city-planted tree (and old stump removal if appropriate), based on science showing trees can be planted where others previously grew, and to address concerns that residents use arborist letters to circumvent the permit process.
Decided
PASSED — ESC recommends the city automatically offer to replace any dead or ill removed tree with a free city-planted tree.
