3rd Report of the Trees and Forests Advisory Committee

That the following actions be taken with respect to the 3rd Report of the Trees and Forests Advisory Committee from its meeting held on February 17, 2016:

a)            the Civic Administration BE REQUESTED to consider the following comments with respect to the Draft 2016-2019 Multi-Year Budget:

i)              appropriate funding BE APPROVED to ensure the implementation of the Urban Forestry Strategy as approved by the previous Council;

ii)             the Civic Administration BE REQUESTED to quantify the impact of not fully funding the Urban Forestry Strategy as approved by the previous council; and,

iii)            the advisory committees BE ENGAGED at the initiation of the preparation of the business cases in the budget process;

it being noted that the Trees and Forests Advisory Committee (TFAC) had the following additional questions with respect to the budget:

•           Was the need for communities to reach peak carbon emissions by 2020, to have any real chance of stopping runaway climate change and an unprecedented global crisis, affecting London residents as well as trees and forests across the planet (See: IPCC 5th Assessment, RCP 2.6 scenario) taken into consideration when creating this budget?

•           Does Municipal Council believe that the proposed budget increases for strategic initiatives (average $14/year) will be sufficient to meet the above-noted target?

it being further noted that the TFAC supports the multi-year budget process and the opportunity to be engaged in the process;

b)            the Municipal Council BE ADVISED that in the opinion of the Trees and Forests Advisory Committee (TFAC) the only purpose of the Springbank Dam is for recreation and therefore the TFAC does not support the prioritization of recreation over the health of the Thames River and its surrounding trees; and,

c)         clauses 1 to 8 and 11 to 14, BE RECEIVED;

it being noted that the Planning and Environment Committee heard a verbal delegation from A. Cantell, Vice-Chair, TFAC, with respect to these matters.
