FROM: Cmtra
Supervisor Tom Torlakson �S+a
DATE: March 6, 1990 County
SUBJECT: REFER TO ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE PROPOSAL FOR ONE-TO-ONE
MATCH TREE PLANTING PROJECT IN CONJUNCTION WITH EARTH MONTH
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Refer to the Environmental Affairs Committee, the County
Administrator's Office, the Public Works Department, and the General
Services Department to review and develop project parameters for a
county-wide "one-to-one match" tree planting program to be kicked off
in conjunction with Earth Month and Green Ribbon Week.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: I am proposing that public agencies
provide one tree for every tree purchased by community groups (such as
PTA's, Scouts, service clubs, labor unions, church groups) , indivi-
duals and busineses for planting in a public ,area (park, library,
street median, public building) in the community in conjunction with
Earth Month and Green Ribbon Week in April.
I have solicited the participation of the cities in my
district in this tree planting program as a "Delta Pride" project and
have been pleased with the interest and enthusiasm I received.
It is my understanding that the Flood Control District has
400 available for the East County area which can be offered as the
county's resource for matching contributions by community
organizations, businesses and individuals . Other sources of funding
for the purchase of trees should be identified by staff .
County staff should be directed to identify and notify
public agencies (park districts, school districts, lighting and
landscaping districts, special districts, etc. ) , in addition to the
cities, to participate by providing "match" trees .
