Debated

Anastasia Houston presented her rebranding work, explaining that "Trees for All" could expand modularly to programs like "Parks for All" or "Coastline for All," and better communicated equity and civic engagement compared to the previous "AB Loves Trees" branding. A second motion addressed campaign funding; Boren calculated that 20% of projected tree planting costs (roughly $44,000) would yield about $8,800 for educational materials based on the 10% fund allocation for education and outreach. Dan Giovannucci suggested exploring whether some costs could be covered by the city's existing centennial celebration budget rather than the tree fund.

Decided

PASSED (two motions) — ESC recommends (1) rebranding the free tree program as "Trees for All" and (2) allocating tree trust fund resources to support the campaign during the 2026 centennial year.
