INVASIVE SPECIES
The Committee discussed the invasive species and the processes for reporting noted on the City's website, staffing resources, and staff follow-up.
Kevin Rankin, Manager of Parks and Forestry Operations indicated that there are not enough resources for every invasive species report made, however, there are invasive species that are currently being monitored, tracked, and mapped. Mr. Rankin mentioned that due to the current resourcing, only invasive species that pose a risk to human health are being actively viewed. He provided that there is funding available and community groups that are active in pulls to maintain invasive species, and the City will cut and remove invasive species for public safety reasons.
