She believed that integration of volunteers was an integral part of any emergency response. CLOSED PUBLIC COMMENT Councilmember Mordo referenced an email he had received from resident Alexander Atkins regarding the issue of Eucalyptus trees. Atkins had suggested that the Ad Hoc Planning Committee be charged with preparing a draft ordinance regarding "dangerous" trees. City Manager Maureen Cassingham reported that at the direction of Council she had secured the services of an arborist to review the Town's trees along major roadways in conjunction with a review by the City Engineer and Public Safety Officer Steve Garcia. The report would be forwarded to Council at a future meeting. Council consensus was to discuss the second phase, i.e. action to be taken by Council, after the findings of the arborist were reviewed. Mayor Pro Tem Warshawsky reported that the Pathways Committee had completed their review of all issues that had been referred back to them during the Master Path Plan adoption process. Their recommendations would be forwarded to the Planning Commission. Mayor Kerr reported that he had been sworn in as a Board member of the VTA and would now have voting authority. He noted that he would be approaching Council in the near future for direction on the sales tax that was being considered by the Board. 8.
