The Mayor established the Urban Forest Task Force to look at the existing tree preservation ordinance and make recommendations to changes to the code if necessary. The task force, assisted by a consultant, hosted a focus group and held two public meetings to get input into the proposed changes. The task force submitted their recommendations to City Council in January, 2007.
