(a) To enhance the quality of life and the present and future health, safety, and welfare
of all citizens, to enhance property values, and to ensure proper planting and care of trees on public property, the Village Council herein delegates the authority and responsibility for managing public trees, creates a Tree Advisory Board, establishes practices governing the planting and care of trees on public property, and makes provision for the emergency removal of trees on private property under certain conditions. Trees and shrubbery growing within the public right-of-way are the responsibility of the abutting property owner for care and maintenance but remain there only by consent of the Village. No such tree, if removed, may be replaced except by permission of the Village.
