<br />9A <br /> <br />The remaining 17 recommendations are briefly discussed on pages two through four of the Page 3 <br />attached memo to the City Manager (Attachment 6). Many of these items would benefit <br />from the input and discussion with the Urban Forestry Board. Many of these <br />recommendations will require Council action to update ordinances or adopt policy <br />recommendations. Other items will have a budget impact. Once the scope of the different <br />recommendations with overarching policies and practices are better defined, staff will <br />propose the action and budget impacts to Council for consideration. <br /> <br />Staff is prepared to move forward with the Tree Policy Task Force recommendations. The <br />five recommended actions are the initial steps to implement the first 6 task force <br />recommendations and lay the foundation to address the remaining 17 task force <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />Alternatives <br />(1) Do not approve any or all of the 5 recommended action steps. For any <br />recommendations not approved or adopted, staff will continue to administer the activity <br />within the current policies and conditions. <br /> <br />(2) Approve any or all of the 5 recommended action steps at a different level or intensity <br />than recommended. Staff will administer the activity under the new guidelines and <br />conditions. <br /> <br />Approving any of the recommendations at a different level may have staffing or budget <br />implications that staff will need to evaluate and report back to Council. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />There is limited fiscal impact to approving the five recommendations. There will be staff <br />time involved in forming the Urban Forestry Board and working with them on assignments. <br />As staff works with and supports the newly appointed Urban Forestry Board, there may be <br />decisions and recommendations that could have budget impacts. <br /> <br />Staff will bring any of these situations before Council for review and approval or adoption <br />as appropriate. <br /> <br />Vl L~'l'rl., <br />.".,.} <br />I .Jt7,,; '..- i Jt I{,!.;...... <br />Gofdon Mann - -.. <br />Public Works Superintendent <br /> <br />~~ 3"7T~ <br />Lar arwacz <br />Pub IC Works ServIces Director <br /> <br />.
