THE SANTA CRUZ CITY COUNCIL VOTED LAST NIGHT TO POSTPONE A DISCUSSION ON EXPANDING RULES FOR PEOPLE WHO WISH TO REMOVE TREES. THAT’S BECAUSE THE CITY ATTORNEY RECEIVED A LETTER BEFORE THE MEETING, CALLING FOR THE CITY TO CONDUCT A ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF THE IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES. IF IT IS EVER APPROVED, THE ORDINANCE CHANGE WOULD ALLOW THE CITY MORE LEEWAY IN GIVING PERMISSION FOR PEOPLE TO CUT DOWN LARGER TREES.
