SUBJECT:
Heritage Trees
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution adding Heritage Trees
BACKGROUND:
The Heritage Tree Program idea has been included in the Tree Ordi-
nance since 1971 . There has been minimal interest in the program.
In 1984 , the Tree Committee decided that this was a worthwhile pro-
gram and that it should be reactivated. Annual review is made for
the dedication of Heritage Trees .
In April 1985 , after review of the existing Heritage Trees, proposed
trees and the program literature, the Tree Committee submitted a list
of 17 trees for possible dedication as Heritage Trees. In 1985 and
subsequent years, the City Council has adopted a total of 13 Heritage
Trees. This proposal includes four additional trees.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds were approved in the 1986-87 budget in the amount of $2 ,000.
This will be reviewed annually and modified as necessary for specific
work. Staff time used on this aspect of the tree program is minimual
and is included within budget submittals.

(staff recommendation)
