The Mayor established the urban tree 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 has finalized its proposed revisions to the municipal tree ordinance. The Planning Commission will review the draft ordinance and then forward it onto the City Council with their recommendation.
