The council voted to approve Resolution 2026-20, establishing a tree board to guide tree preservation and planting and to enable the city to pursue grants for tree-related projects.
City Administrator Leslie Riverola told the council the board would help the city "apply for some additional grants" to maintain and add trees, noting trees improve air quality and reduce heat. Councilmembers expressed unanimous support; the clerk recorded the vote as "passes 4-0." The resolution was moved, seconded, and approved by roll call.
The board is expected to advise on capital project plantings and long-term canopy maintenance; Riverola said staff would be available to answer questions about the board's scope.
