^ Trees - Shirley Conger reported that the second reading of the combined ordinance
1 was postponed on October 19. On October 21 , she, Jess Payne, Bob Tunnicliff, and
Don Horan met with Council members and the Mayor. At that time it became clear
that some members of the Council were opposed to the ordinance or to sections of
the ordinance. Mr. Tunnicliff was instructed to draw up a separate Dutch Elm
Disease ordinance and amendments to the current ordinance. At the same meeting
the possibility of the City helping private citizens by accepting monthly payments
for necessary work was suggested and was to be pursued. Jess Payne reported that
contract removal and replanting has been established and showed the two contracts
which are being used. (copies attached) He stated that almost all of those
contacted thus far where removal is necessary have been both cooperative and
enthusiastic. He also presented a list of suggested trees for street tree
planting in Caldwell which he had prepared for distribution. (copy attached)
The two new ordinances drawn up by Mr. Tunnicliff were presented for Commission
study. Following study and discussion, Val Wallace moved that the Commission
approve both ordinances as presented. Seconded by Marge Macy. Passed. The
ordinances will be presented to City Council at their regular meeting on
November 16, 1976. (copies in Minutes Book)
Comprehensive Plan - A special work session of this Commission was scheduled
for noon on November 18, 1976.
