§ 30-174. Declaration of policy.  


Latest version.
  • The council has determined that the health of tree and plant species within the city is threatened by diseases to these trees. It has further determined that the loss of tree and plant species growing upon public and private property will substantially depreciate the value of property within the city and impair the safety and general welfare of the public. It is declared to be the intention of the city to control and prevent the spread of these diseases, and this article is enacted for that purpose.
