Top issues during term (16)(Environment)
Bird City designation
A $200 application fee now and $200 at each renewal every other year, which residents could optionally help cover.
Trash collection and public cans
Costs of the strategies aren't final yet — the committee's cost document still needs updated numbers.
Climate Action Plan final draft
No direct appropriation tonight; actions are intended to be folded into existing budget and capital cycles with state and county grant opportunities.

Roughly $700 from the board's budget for about 15 plaques at $56 each.

Residents caught removing trees illegally could face $1,000 fines per tree — potentially $2,000 or more if repeat-offense rules apply.
