Councilman Carolyn McDowell made a motion to accept "Substitute C" to Bill 97 -124 which
had previously been distributed to Council Members, seconded by Councilman Carl Jaynes
and approved unanimously. 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
