City Of Oregon Tree Board Tree Board Minutes
The board discussed potential official city tree species and the process for involving residents in the selection. There was a detailed conversation regarding cost-sharing models, discount pricing for tree removal and pruning, and strategies for bidding out tree removal contracts given the city's limited budget and aging tree canopy. Additionally, the board reviewed the purchase of new trees, the availability of saplings through the Living Lands and Waters program, and logistics concerning tree maintenance and watering.
