Title
Tree Protection Bylaw
Recommended Action
Whereas at the Regular Council Meeting of June 14, 2021, Council received a presentation from Catherine Grey, Community Co-Chair, Tree Protection Advisory Committee (TPAC) and Council referred the amendment bylaws proposed by TPAC to staff to provide a report on the implications of the proposed changes to the Bylaw;
Whereas TPAC, in their report to Council and during
Catherine Grey’s presentation, expressed urgency in the adoption of the amendments to the Tree Protection Bylaw 2019 No. 5478 and associated amendment bylaws; and
Whereas staff have multiple competing priorities and with the current project capacity may be unable to provide the Report to Council in a manner that would ensure the potential adoption of the bylaws prior to July 31, 2021;
Therefore be it resolved that staff be directed that the Report to Council is the priority project and take all reasonable steps necessary to provide Council with the directed report at the July 12, 2021 Regular Council meeting; and
Should the Tree Protection Bylaw 2019 No. 5478 Amendment Bylaw 2021 No. 5712 receive First, Second and Third reading on
July 12, 2021, staff be directed to provide a Written Public Input Opportunity with submissions provided to Council prior to the next scheduled Regular Meeting of Council on July 26, 2021 so that Council may deliberate on the amendment bylaw prior to
July 31, 2021
