New tree policy not supported
Councillor Kennedy requested that Council develop a policy to remove sick and dying trees, outline the cost of their removal and replacement, and that Council consider outsourcing the work to contractors. Council’s Acting General Manager clarified that Council is already in the process of replacing dying trees. Councillors voted to defer the formation of any further policies until Council’s Tree Management Plan is completed in April.
Water restrictions considered
Councillor Kennedy requested that Council write to Essential Water and ministers asking why the city was on water restrictions. The motion was supported despite water restrictions already being lifted yesterday.
