DSD Chancey reviewed the ordinance that was approved on first reading at the January 20, 2026 meeting that establishes a Tree Fund as an option for Developers who are unable to meet the tree replacement requirements, allowing them to pay into the fund instead of installing required trees. The Site Plan Technical Review staff shall review the applicant's request and plans to determine the validity and need for the program. If approved, the applicant will pay into the fund before a CO is issued. The Public Works Director will determine where trees are needed in City Parks or City-owned properties and utilize the Tree Replacement Fund to install and maintain the trees.

The option to pay into the tree fund is intended to be a deterrent and of last resort. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Hearing and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments.
