HAMMITT Bob <br /> From: MEDLIN Johnny R <br /> To: BURNS Roy L <br /> Cc: HAMMITT Bob; ANDERSEN Chris F; CHILDS Jan W <br /> Subject: UGB Tree Preservation Ordinance <br /> Date: Tuesday, July 22, 1997 10:18AM <br /> Hi Roy, <br /> This message is just to give you a "heads -up" on an emerging issue. <br /> Due to funding cutbacks approved by the City Council we are going to be moving toward discontinuing <br /> administration and enforcement of the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. Since we are reluctant to have <br /> code on the books which we can't enforce, we currently are working with the City Attorney's office to <br /> discuss what changes would be needed to our code to delete permitting and enforcement requirements on <br /> private lands. <br /> This brings up the issue of administration of the UGB Tree ordinance. While this has not been discussed <br /> directly, I suspect there will be questions regarding our continuing administration of the County ordinance <br /> when we are discontinuing our own. Since we have never finished the intergovernmental agreement on <br /> the City providing enforcement this may be a moot issue. <br /> I would be interested to hear your comment /concerns on this issue. <br /> Thanks <br /> Johnny <br /> Page 1 <br />
