Membership in the Tree City, U.S.A. program <br />will involve changing some of the things we do, particularly in the area of Parks & Recreation. <br />Administratively, if Council directs, there will be an additional Board and/or a new PBcRD division to <br />manage and monitor. The program participation requires re-approval annually to assure that each <br />requirement is continually met. In the long run, the benefits of such a program such as beautification, <br />establishment of greenways, future development control, and others, far outweigh the costs and effort <br />involved in its implementation. Staffrecommends that the City pursue participation in the Tree City, U.S.A. <br />program. <br />coon eceu~re v ounc <br />Give staff direction regarding the City of I,a Porte's participation in the Tree City, U.S.A. program <br />sponsored by the National Arbor Day Foundation. <br />A¢~wroved ffor City Council Agenda <br />~-~o-d~ <br />Debra Feazelle, City anager Date <br />
