Councilman John Landwehr asked about the meaning of one phrase in Section 23 -15 dealing with the duties of the City Forester which states that he consults with others about "the kinds of trees and method of planting deemed desirable on particular streets." Councilman Landwehr asked whether this meant that the City Forester is to decide what kind of trees were to be planted on streets as opposed to him following the plan devised by the Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) and approved by the City Council. Parks & Recreation Department Director Bill Lockwood and City Counselor Allen Garner stated that their interpretation of that phrase was that the City Forester was to discuss such issues with other groups as part of his overall duties, but that he did not have the power to dictate the kinds of trees to be planted on streets. The EQC has sole authority for the decision and is subject to Council approval. Following further discussion, Bill 97 -124, as substituted, was placed on final passage and passed by the following vote as Ordinance 12731: Aye: Byrd, Haake, Jackson, Jaynes, Landwehr, McDowell, Nelson, Nilges and Stella Nay: None RESOLUTIONS RS97 -32 RS97 -33 Authorizing Community Development Block Grant Application for Housing Rehabilitation (Landwehr & Jackson).
