Report from Public Works & Sustainability Committee meeting held January 9, 2023. <br /> Councilmember Rader delivered the following oral report: <br /> We had a great meeting with one item on the docket for discussion which was a report from the <br /> Tree Advisory and Education Board. As part of their charge, they are to give a report to Council <br /> every so often, I believe every year. They did it in spectacular fashion, we could've spent two <br /> hours. We were also graced with our brand-new Public Works Director who gave a report as <br /> well on all the work that was done on the City's side and the collaboration with the Tree <br /> Education and Advisory Board. There were several recommendations that were made. Some of <br /> them are in progress, such as hiring an urban forester. We have an update from the <br /> Administration with what is going to happen there. Spoiler alert, we're going to get a forester <br /> here pretty soon, hopefully this year, that would be fantastic. Also, working on the Tree City USA <br /> building toward applying for funds from them for the first time in a very long time. We've been a <br /> member of Tree City USA, we've been in Tree City from the very beginning since the 1970s, but <br /> really leveraging that relationship to grow our capacity there. Also, doing more private side tree <br /> planting. They've certainly stepped up to the plate and helped us there and have been a great <br /> resource. Also, to share a little bit about what they've done in the previous year like doing the <br /> contest with the Observer and finding trees around the community that people could nominate <br /> 4 <br />
