COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
STREET TREE PROGRAM
Larry Christian, Maintenance Manager, Public Works Agency, provided an
update on the Street Tree Program initiated in fiscal year 1987-88. He
explained that since the inception of the Program the City Council had
authorized 22 contracts in the amount of $1,500,000.00 for the planting,
removal, and trimming of trees within the City. Christian responded to
Councilmembers' questions with regard to the Program particularly
concerning termite damage to older trees.
Councilmember May requested that staff provide advance warning both to the
residents and respective Councilmember relative to Street Tree Program
activity in specific neighborhoods.
Georgene Tarbox, 410 S. Broadway, expressed concern regarding the removal
of older trees in her neighborhood, which, in her opinion, resulted in
loss of ambiance and neighborhood charm.
The Mayor indicated that preservation of as many older trees as possible
should be a goal of the Program.
NEW JAIL INITIATIVE
Mayor Young informed the Councilmembers that he would be requesting their
support at the Evening Session of the Council meeting for an initiative
which would prohibit the Board of Supervisors from locating any new jail
in any incorporated city in Orange County and further require that any new
jail site be at least one mile from any existing school site.
