SUMMARY
Maintenance Services’ Landscape Division maintains over 30,000 street trees and performs municipal landscaping, vegetation management, weed and brush abatement throughout the City. In FY 2024, Council approved an additional (2) FTE tree crew to further support the Division’s efforts in maintaining and growing the City’s urban forest. Considering the current industry-wide delay in vehicle production, staff is recommending the transfer and appropriation of $275,000 from Measure C Capital Fund (Fund 406) to Fleet Replacement Fund (Fund 736, Project 07302) to procure a readily available aerial-lift forestry bucket truck.
