CF 16-0661-S1 AT CITY COUNCIL 12/11/2019
PUBLIC WORKS AND GANG REDUCTION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the Tree Guarantee Fee Planting Plan in regards to the Tree Replacement Guarantee Ordinance.
Recommendations for Council action:
ADOPT the Proposed Tree Guarantee Fee Planting Plan attached to the Board of Public Works (BPW) report dated November 26, 2019, attached to the Council file.
AUTHORIZE the BPW, in collaboration with the Department of City Planning, Bureau of Street Services (BSS) and Bureau of Sanitation, to approve and coordinate all tree-related planting efforts in the proposed Tree Guarantee Fee Planting Plan locations in each of the 15 Council Districts using fees (nonrefundable deposits) collected, in either group/bulk tree planting of no less than 25 trees per effort; or less than 25 individual tree planting(s) at least annually in a Council District with less than the equivalent funds required to plant and pay for 25 trees.
INSTRUCT the BPW to return to Council, as necessary, to seek future approval to amend the proposed Tree Guarantee Fee Planting Plan when any of each Council District proposed tree planting locations have been satisfied.
AUTHORIZE the BPW to make technical corrections or clarifications that may be necessary to implement the intent of the proposed Tree Guarantee Fee Planting Plan.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The BPW reports that the proposed Tree Guarantee Fee Planting Plan is an administrative matter to allow the planting of tree replacements using the Tree Guarantee Fees collected. Tree planting from Public Works Non-Subsidized and Planning Department Development project will have no impact to the General Fund. However, the planting of subsidized Public Works guaranteed trees will have a General Fund impact of approximately $397,686 (or 237 trees X $1,945 per tree minus $63,279). These costs are currently absorbed by the BSS similar to that of tree replacements (planting) from nursery bound trees.
Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
