Another proposed tree ordinance -- a previous law was scuttled at a recent meeting -- is to delineate clear guidelines for removal of trees for utilities, the tree commission and warden, and Warren property owners. It also gives homeowners a potential tax incentive to save trees – not cut them down.
Here is the complete agenda for tonight’s meeting:
