Council considers renaming tree committee and expanding role to water-wise landscaping

A council member (S5) told colleagues that the Draper tree committee expressed enthusiasm for involvement in the city's beautification fund and suggested revisiting and formalizing the committee's duties, potentially under a new name that better reflects water-wise landscaping and broader streetscape work.

"They were, really grateful to be involved in the, the beautification fund," the member said, noting the committee’s high attendance at local classes and its interest in pilot projects such as planting at the splash pad and contributing to gateway landscaping. Council members discussed placing the item on a future study session so the committee can present recommendations and an outline of responsibilities and potential projects.
