ORDINANCE: TREE COMMISSION AMENDMENTS; APPROVAL OF BYLAWS City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Bob Hammitt, Public Works, gave the staff presentation. The action being considered is an amendment to the ordinance so that the Tree Commission is adVisory to the City Manager or designee instead of the "executive director of PARCS and to City staff." The ordinance also amends the selection of Tree Commission member to be "chosen from" instead of "representative of" various areas of expertise.
