Direct staff to come back with replanting plan including cost for removal and replacement of trees
6 to 1
Why This Vote Matters
The council voted 6-1 to direct staff to develop a replanting plan for JFK Park, including costs for both removing dangerous trees and replacing them with new ones. Eight pine trees at the park have died or are dying and pose safety risks to visitors, requiring removal along with pruning of one healthy tree. Vice Mayor Bates cast the lone dissenting vote, though he had seconded the motion. This decision delays the immediate tree removal work while staff prepares a comprehensive plan that addresses both the safety hazard and future landscaping.
