The city hereby determines that, to the greatest extent possible, maintaining of growing trees on public rights-of-way and other public property within the city is a meritorious community goal; growing trees present numerous benefits to the community, including but not limited to, reducing noise pollution, providing shade, cooling the air, restoring oxygen to the air, reducing glare, providing an ecological habitat for birds and other plants and animals, and contributing to the overall esthetics of the community; further, the city council finds that unnecessary removal, trimming, or pruning growing trees within the city within the public rights-of-way or other public property effects public safety, health, and general welfare and should be addressed and regulated.
