This is a hybrid in-person and virtual meeting on Microsoft Teams Click here for meeting link if joining remotely.

Opportunities to comment on the new tree canopy study showing only 33% coverage overall compared to the 41% claimed by the County. This study shows the top options and their value for next steps to implement the Forestry and Natural Resources Plan (FNRP). It must act on the priorities identified to slow the loss of tree canopy. Also, during public comment, you can weigh in on the new Expanded Housing zoning that reduces tree canopy that leaves less space reserved for potential tree planting, increases lot coverage, reduces stormwater benefits, and much more.

Forestry and Natural Resources Commission (FNRC)- Citizens appointed to provide advice to Board on these subjects. Two minutes each for public comments at the beginning of each meeting. You must sign up by noon that day to speak.
