When a public tree is removed after approval by the urban forestry committee, a fee in lieu of planting shall be required if the tree is not replaced. The urban forestry coordinator shall determine if the tree must be replaced or if a fee in lieu of planting may be paid. The fee shall be set by resolution of the city council and monies collected thereby shall be placed in a tree replacement fund to be used for maintenance and acquisition of public trees and shrubs. (Ord. 3565, 2017)
