In as much as the continued preservation and protection of our treasured natural resources is vital to the continued well-being and beautification of our cities and their inhabitants, it is hereby expressly declared to be the policy and goal of the city, and in the best interests of its citizens, and for the continued beautification of the city, and for the preservation of the health and safety of those persons who reside in, visit, or patronize the city, that there be established and maintained a comprehensive cooperative community effort and program of tree and vegetation management, planting, maintenance, and removal. The Mayor and City Council, for and on behalf of themselves, the city, and its inhabitants, hereby dedicate themselves and the city to such ends.
(Prior Code, § 7A.0101)
