WHEREAS, the 101" Congress of the United States, in developing the Forestry
Title of the 1990 Farm Bill, found that the health of forests in urban areas and
communities is on the decline; these forests, trees, and open spaces improve the
quality of life for residents, enhance economic value of property and are more effective
than rural trees at reducing the buildup of carbon dioxide due to the added energy
savings for urban residents.
WHEREAS, Congress defined the purposes of this program to include improving
the understanding of the benefits of preserving existing tree cover; encourage property
owners to maintain trees and expand forest cover; provide educational and technical
assistance to local organizations in maintaining and expanding forest cover; provide
competitive matching grants to local units of government and other approved
organizations for urban forestry projects; implement a tree planting program; promote
the establishment of demonstration projects to illustrate the benefits of forest cover and
enhance technical skills of individuals involved in establishing or maintaining urban
forest.
WHEREAS, the City has it's share of the matching grant in the amount of
$10,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
$10,000 is hereby appropriated from the Texas Forest Service and the City
Manager is hereby authorized to execute all agreements regarding the Urban and
Community Forestry Program grant and the City commits to its share of matching funds
