Planning Commission Regular Meeting/Work Session

Anna SaffordstaffBut then through other hands-on experiences, we do offer through our Stormwater Utility Fund, we do a tree giveaway through the Arbor Day Foundation that goes to private residents. And so it's looking to target mechanisms that way to get people involved. And again, I know a key component when it comes to the creation of an urban forestry division is making sure my role has kind of expanded and evolved as I've been here, but making sure that land development review and that component for the community isn't lost. Because, again, it's easy to get focused on, like, managing city public trees, and then you kind of lose sight as to where the impact could be. So the hope is to continue those.

James FeatherI think besides the tree giveaway you mentioned through stormwater, we still offer a stormwater utility credit for tree planting on private property. So there's this incentivizing program as well which has been on the radar for a while now. Still exists? Yes,

Paul Cunninghamas opposed to the rest and then slide 166 says ongoing and in the text it says it's 3.193 million and it's part of a fleet replacement program and when I go down and see it's going to be funded out of the stormwater utility fund so it's not coming out of the general fund the total costs for the program across the line are 1.37 million if you add the current year costs this apparently is a longer-term project but none of it comes response to the 3.193, so in putting stuff in here, we're not talking on a focused program, we're talking about a long-term program. And it's one since it's being put out of the Stormwater Utility Fund, should be in the CIP, but it's not one that we necessarily need to be concerned about.
