On page 10, beginning on line 16, strike all of subsection (1)

Renumber the remaining subsections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.

On page 10, line 31, after "(4)" strike all material through "communities" and insert "Communities may consult with individuals with expertise in urban forestry or landscaping"

On page 11, line 34, after "through" strike "appropriate siting of" and insert "site-appropriate"

On page 11, line 36, after "(5)" strike all material through "communities" and insert "Communities may consult with individuals with expertise in urban forestry or landscaping"

EFFECT:   Removes the requirement that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) provide technical assistance and capacity building resources to applicable entities in development and coordination of urban and community forestry activities.

Removes the provisions specifying that the DNR may use existing tools to assist communities to develop urban forestry management plans and ordinances. Instead, communities may consult with individuals with expertise in urban forestry or landscaping. An element of a management plan addressing maximization of building heating and cooling efficiency may address site-appropriate trees for summer shading rather than the appropriate siting of trees for summer shading.
