A subcommittee of the board of park commissioners (commission) entitled the “tree committee” is authorized. The tree committee shall be advisory to the commission. The primary responsibility of the tree committee shall be to review and make recommendations to the parks commission concerning the implementation of the public tree policy. Provided, however, on issues concerning the revision or establishment of standards or regulations concerning the city’s urban forestry, the tree committee shall provide its recommendations to the city’s planning commission in addition to the parks commission since these issues may affect the city’s comprehensive plan, zoning code, subdivision code and other land use regulations. The tree committee shall consist of seven members. To the extent practical, the following shall compose the tree committee: One representative from each of the following groups: council of neighborhoods, historical commission, planning commission and the board of park commissioners. The remaining three members shall be residents of Everett who have demonstrated their interest in conservation and to the extent possible shall have a background in forestry, arboriculture, horticulture or landscape architecture, public relations, business management or law.
