The oak selection will support a wider range of trees for planting and distribution at the City’s Arbor Day celebration. The Commission also adopted its procedures and set four 2026 priorities for City Council: an urban forestry management plan, a City tree inventory, policy strategies, and preservation of mature trees. A proposed ordinance increasing tree-canopy standards for non-residential areas remains under review and is scheduled for City Council consideration, including a cash-in-lieu option when trees cannot be planted.
