TITLE-
-’ APPROVAL OF BUDGET ALLOCATIONS FOR
TREE POLICY COMMITTEE AND STREET AND
SIDEWALK POLICY COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 99-503 approving allocations to the Parks Department Operating
Budget and Engineering Department Operating Budget for expenditures related to the Tree Policy
Committee and the Street and Sidewalk Policy Committee, respectively.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
At its meeting of November 2, 1999, the City Council formed two citizens committees, one to review
existing tree policies and make recommendations for appropriate revisions, and the other to review
the sidewalk and street improvement program and propose a list of streets to receive special
designations and unique design treatment. At that meeting, Council was informed that $50,000
had been estimated for consultant services for both committees and an additional amount for staff
time, supplies, equipment, materials, and experts would be determined, depending upon the
frequency of committee meetings.
At this time, each committee has established a schedule and work plan for developing
recommendations to present to City Council. The committees are currently requesting a variety of
information and support and anticipate this need to continue throughout the remainder of their work
plans. Most of the information requested requires in depth data gathering, research,
documentation and educational presentation by staff and/or subject experts. In order to supply the
requested information and services expeditiously, budget allocations for the committees are
needed to provide consultant services, subject experts (arborist, street designer, environmentalist,
etc.), staff time and supplies, equipment and materials such as reprographic services, GIS
mapping, photographic/video services, and transportation (field tours). The attached resolution specifies the estimated allocations needed to support completion of committee work.
