Hollister <br />City Manager <br />RESOLUTION AMENDING TITLE 12, CHAPTER 8 OF THE SAN LEANDRO <br />ADMINISTRATIVE CODE RELATING TO STREET TREE POLICY <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to amend and update Title 12, Chapter <br />8 of the Administrative Code relating to Street Tree Policy and Procedure ("Tree Policy"). <br />BACKGROUND <br />Currently, the Tree Policy delegates discretion to the City Manager to determine when unusual <br />hardship circumstances exist for street tree removal, which is in conflict with the municipal code, <br />which delegates that authority to the Public Works Director. The proposed amendment would <br />align the tree policy with the municipal code and delegate this authority to the Public Works <br />Service Director. The resolution also clarifies language related to removal where a tree is <br />causing confirmed sewer problems. <br />Previous City Council Action(s) <br />N/A <br />City Council Committee Review and Action <br />N/A <br />Applicable General Plan Policy <br />N/A <br />Permits and/or Variances Granted <br />N/A <br />Environmental Review <br />N/A <br />
