PW/GS - ,- CITY OF CARLSBAD - AGENDA BILL TITLE: PRESENTATION BY THE STREET TREE POLICY COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON ON THE CURRENT PROGRESS AND RESCHEDULE THE FINAL REPORTING DATE RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 9-53 approving the rescheduling of the Street Tree Policy Committee final reporting date to January 25, 2000. ITEM EXPLANATION: On November 2, 1999, City Council appointed a fifteen member citizen committee to review the City’s 1970 tree policy and make recommendations to Council for revisions in that policy. The Committee was directed to makes its report to the City Council by December 15, 1999 unless at the request of the Committee it is impractical to do so, and Council has determined a different date. The Committee held its first meeting on November 10, 1999 and has been meeting twice a week ever since. The Committee is close to submitting its final report to Council, but feels more time is needed to thoroughly complete the report. Tonight, Chairperson Eric Larson will be addressing to Council the progress made by the Committee and request the final reporting date be rescheduled to January 25, 2000. FISCAL IMPACT: If Council approves rescheduling the reporting date to January 25, 2000, additional costs may occur for consultant services, staff time, supplies, equipment and materials. However, on December 7, 1999, Council approved allocating $25,000 to the Parks Department Operating Budget for incurred costs from the Street Tree Policy Committee. Staff believes the appropriation of $25,000 will be adequate enough to cover the Committee’s expenses until the final report is submitted to Council on January 25th. EXHIBITS: P9-4.t 1.
