BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING $100,000 FROM THE

AMOUNT
WHEREAS, the Urban Forestry Maintenance Section is responsible for maintaining trees
throughout the City, including street trees, park trees, and trees located on City property; and
WHEREAS, 5,718 trees must be trimmed annually for the section to meet its desired tree
trimming frequency, however, only 50% or 2,859 are presently being trimmed by contract, on an
average, each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, as a result, at least 2,859 trees on average are not being maintained each
year due to the limitation of $ 1 00,000 placed on the existing tree trimming contract; and
WHEREAS, the Urban Forestry Maintenance Section is presently understaffed and
Public Works staff recommends filling the staffing deficiency with one tree trimmer, in addition
to increasing the street tree contract; and
WHEREAS, therefore, in order for the Urban Forestry Maintenance Section to meet its
desired 4.5-year tree maintenance cycle for all trees, the contract amount must be increased by
approximately $100,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby amend the Fiscal Year 2000/2001 budget by appropriating $100,000 from the
unappropriated balance of the General Fund to increase the tree trimming contract amount.
