Franklin Tree Commission Ordinance

This Franklin ordinance establishes a seven-member Tree Commission that includes city representatives, a green industry professional, and a utility representative. The commission oversees the tree bank fund, makes recommendations on tree planting, maintenance, and public education, and helps coordinate tree-related activities to achieve Tree City USA status. The city also follows specific planting guidelines, including tree species selection, spacing, and maintenance protocols to ensure healthy public trees, while encouraging private tree planting.
