Forester and Arborist perspective.

I have read the report and several alarm bells have gone off. The report is full of buzz words and statements that makes one think that the city has the best intentions while implementing this new program, however when the term “private property” is used I find this extremely bad. I would like to remind the city, you have no jurisdiction on privately property when it comes to trees. Development and hazardous conditions that affect public land is where your authority ends. You go to far with this expect law suits.
