V. ORDERS OF BUSINESS

1. Discussion on the progress of the Ad Hoc committee and questions to the City Attorney regarding the
monitoring of replacement trees for five years.

Chair LEVERONE gave a presentation and introduced Don Freeman, City Attorney.

City Attorney comments:

Ensuring compliance- might not issue permit until you receive drawing where tree plating is to occur.

Volunteers- has legal liability to the City. Would need permission from the property owner or inspection
warrant to go on private property. We must do background checks for volunteers who would go onto the property.

Is there a problem with replacement trees- go back 1 or 2 years and double check to see if the required trees are there.

Bonds -legal process with court order. Not worth the money- would have to do a court process to get the
money within the state of California. Legal liability to the City.

Deed restricts - must have a date to end the deed restriction - ordinance thru the city council and want to put
a deed restriction on a property

Don feels education is the best method. Also, the water crisis might limit the homeowner's ability to plant
and water the tree for 5 years. Financially a burden too.

Is it city wide or an individual problem?
City wide issue - obtain deed restriction.
Checking - no volunteers, it is city staff responsibility.
Ordinance change- give applicants a drop date to have the tree planted. Date certain, and it must be
inspected on that day.

Public comment open and closed at 2:44 p.m.

After discussion the commission decided to discuss at the next regular meeting a draft of an ordinance to
address having a replanting map , required planting date and required inspection date as part of issuance of a
tree pruning/removal permit.

Also, at some future meeting to discuss the possibility of deed restrictions and possibly implementing an in
lieu fee for not planting a tree.
