Tree Mitigation and Preservation Account

Summary

The mitigation account holds about $195,486, but committee members calculate roughly $100,000 from the U-Haul mitigation deal should have been deposited by now. They also spotted a possible typo letting the city manager approve spending up to "$52,000" instead of $2,000 — and want the ordinance to spell out their right to see the ledgers.
