SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed City Council action will approve a resolution for a grant application from

Grant.
BACKGROUND:
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has available grant funding for
15- gallon tree plantings to increase the tree canopy cover within California communities.
This Proposition 12 Tree Planting Grant proposes to improve aesthetics, recreation,
energy conservation, noise reduction, and wildlife habitat. The grant application is due
March 31, 2003
There are 1400 vacancies within the City. The City with the help of the Tree Advisory
Board would solicit residents with tree vacancies in the parkway. Residents would be
asked to water the tree using the City's tree care guidelines and report any problems with
the trees.
The particular species have not been selected. Selection of the trees will be based on
eligible trees in the grant, availability, adaptability, and suitability to parkway size.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff is requesting a $30,000 grant. The required match is 25% ($7,500.00) if the
application is approved which is available from the annual tree planting budget. In
addition, it is anticipated that maintenance to the trees is expected to cost approximately
$4,800. a year. Funds would need to be appropriated in the Street Tree Planting Budget in
the CIP at that time.
Agenda Item A/
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve resolution and submission of the grant
application to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection "Proposition 12"
Tree Planting Grant.
