ACTION REQUESTED Adoption of revised ordinance incorporating amendments to Chapter 6 of the Eugene Code, and declaring an emergency. OR Direction to staff and referral to the Citizen Involvement Committee. II. BRIEFING STATEMENT At the May 12, 1993, council work session, council directed staff to modify the tree ordinance to include a public notification and comment process and add criteria for the Urban Forester to consider in approving permits for tree felling. Council also directed staff to prepare Administrative Rules . for the tree ordinance, and in the longer term, to modify wording in the PUD ordi- nance to address tree cutting prior to the filing of a development proposal. As staff worked with the City Attorney to revise the ordinance, it appeared that it would not be necessary for the City Manager to adopt companion Admin- istrative Rules at this point. Council's direction is contained within the revised ordinance. Attached are two drafts of the Tree Ordinance. Draft A reflects the direc- tion received from the council on May 12 and includes additional suggestions from Councilor Keller who has been working on this issue in her ward. Draft B reflects the direction received from the council discussion on May 12. III. SUGGESTED MOTION Adoption of one of the following ordinances (with modifications to either): An ordinance concerning tree felling; amending sections 6.300, 6.305 6.310, 6.320, 6.325, and 6.330 of the Eugene Code, 1971; repealing Section 6.315 of that code; and declaring an emergency.
