Title
Second Reading and Action on Ordinance 26-010, an Ordinance to revise Chapter 62 Division 3. Dead, Dying, Diseased or Infested Trees.
Body
Summary and Recommended Action:
The proposed Tree Ordinance revisions modernize the code by expanding its focus from Dutch Elm Disease and Emerald Ash Borer to a broader urban forest health framework. The updates allow the City to address dead, dying, diseased, or infested trees of any species, providing flexibility to respond to emerging pests and public safety concerns. These changes maintain existing cost recovery procedures while strengthening our ability to proactively protect Brookings’ urban forest and public infrastructure.
