Mr. Carroll noted that a consultant working with staff would create the Community
Forest Management Program (CFMP). The CFMP would be a well-planned executed

implementation of the street tree policy.
Lori Wickham, 4055 Park Drive, submitted and reviewed correspondence suggesting
changes to the tree policy. Ms. Wickham stated her concern regarding tree
maintenance in the staff report.
Jack Debes, 4055 Park Drive, expressed concern that the proposed Council Policy

committee. He expressed concern that the appeal process will be difficult for the public
to use.
Doug Chattier, 2697 Wilson Street, said a tree commission is needed to implement the
street tree policy. He stated there were outstanding issues concerning the definition of

correspondence regarding ocean view preservation. He said that views need to be
protected against unreasonable obstructions.

Linda Snyder, 3655 Highland Drive, member of the Tree Committee, explained their
intention was that no appeal fee would be required and that every tree that is removed
is to be replaced. She spoke in support of the Tree Commission and said it should
specifically address tree issues.
Ruth Wheeler, 2031 Charleen Circle, commended staff on the tree report and said the
Tree Commission should sunset after three years.
Tony Lawson, 2195 Basswood, commended staff on the tree report and asked Council
to adopt the policy.
In response to the Mayor, Mr. Lawson said he felt the Parks and Recreation
Commission has the time to implement the Street Tree Policy. He suggested that if
Council wants the Parks and Recreation Commission to assume the Tree Commission
responsibilities, that clear direction should- be given to the Parks and Recreation
Commission so that they will be responsible for the implementation of the Street Tree
Policy.
Gary Piro, 2641 Valewood Avenue, submitted a request to speak indicating that he
would like to register his strong support of staffs recommendations and expressing
appreciation to staff and the tree committee for an outstanding job.

reiterated that the tree policy would be applicable on public right-of-way throughout the
City. He said that trees are trimmed in cycles and the type of trimming depends on the
tree species.
Council discussion ensued regarding the appeal fee amount and calculation. Council
Member Nygaard and Mayor Pro Tern Hall said they supported one appeal fee per lot,
instead of per tree.
Council Member Nygaard and Council Member Kulchin spoke in support of all of staffs
recommendations. Council Member Kulchin said the Tree Commission should sunset
after three years.
Council Member Finnila said a Tree Commission, within the context of the Parks and
Recreation Commission, would work well. She referred to Page 1 of the “Council Policy
Statement No. 4 - Street Trees”, Paragraph I (Tree Planting), Subparagraph A. She
said that I‘... of not less than... .” should be replaced with “approaching”. Council
concurred.
Mayor Pro Tern Hall and Mayor Lewis agreed that the Parks and Recreation
Commission should be charged with the implementation of the tree policy, instead of
creating a new commission.
Ron Ball, City Attorney, said if it is Council’s direction that the Parks and Recreation
Commission is to act as the Tree Commission, this agenda item should be referred
back to staff for revision.
