Jackson Ordinance Establishing a Tree Board

This Jackson ordinance establishes a Tree Board to oversee the care, planting, and maintenance of trees in public spaces, consisting of the mayor, the parks director, a Keep Jackson Beautiful Commission member, and four at-large members appointed by the City Council. The board is responsible for creating plans for tree management, making recommendations, and enforcing regulations, with the authority to prune and remove trees when necessary, though they cannot obligate the city financially without approval.
