RESOLUTION NUMBER #0/
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH ESTABLISHING A CITYWIDE TREE
REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
WHEREAS, in the late 1950's and early 1960's, numerous ficus trees were planted as
parkway trees citywide, including along the historic Main Street corridor
which leads to our Municipal Pier; and
WHEREAS, after 30+ years of thriving, the ficus trees are now creating significant
damage to public property necessitating their removal; and
WHEREAS, it is the City of Seal Beach's utmost concern and desire to immediately
replace any trees removed to maintain and improve the visual aesthetics
that now exist on our City streets; and
WHEREAS, the Seal Beach staff has met with the Department of Forestry
representatives and formed a committee comprised of residents, local
business people and local city officials in order to create a valid tree
program which allows for appropriate tree replacement that respects the
need for long-term planning; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City of Seal Beach to not only replace those trees that
must be removed but to further enhance our community with tree
replacement in those areas of the City that have previously lost trees over
the years; and
WHEREAS, the City of Seal Beach is willing to work with the State of California and any
other agencies towards a tree planting project with species that are both
aesthetically and climatically suitable for the City.
