Staff also took this opportunity to perform a more thorough examination of the Ordinance and made additional changes, eliminating the definition of and references to Emerald Ash Borer, changed language to reflect current methods and practices for determining tree replacement costs, pruning and planting practices and permitting future planted trees to be enrolled in a carbon crediting program. Waiver of first requested.
