Join Us for the April 4 Goleta City Council Meeting

Join Us for the April 4 Goleta City Council Meeting

Topics Include: Legislative Advocacy, Street Tree Appeal Request and Proclamations for Dos Pueblos High School

We hope you will join us for Goleta’s City Council meeting this Tuesday, April 4, at 5:30 p.m. (closed session begins at 4:30 p.m.). We encourage you to join us in City Council Chambers, watch live, and/or participate via Zoom. Directions for how to do so can be found below. Items on the agenda include:

• City Council will issue proclamations recognizing the achievements of the Dos Pueblos High School Mock Trial Team and Student News Team. The Mock Trial Team most recently won 2^nd Place at the 42^nd Annual California State Finals. The Student News Team recently competed at the Annual Student Television Network conference where DPNews was named one of the top programs in the country and won a total of five awards. Read the proclamations for the Mock Trial Team here and Student News Team here.
  
  
• Council will conduct a public hearing on requests to remove four City trees within the public right of way. City staff and the City’s Public Tree Advisory Commission previously denied four individual tree removal requests by residents after the contract City Arborist confirmed all four trees requested to be removed are in good health and do not meet the City’s criteria for tree removal. The City’s tree removal appeal process allows for a public hearing and City Council to decide on the tree removal requests. Read the staff report here: https://tinyurl.com/yrcctb8x.

• City Council will discuss and provide feedback to staff on the City’s legislative advocacy priorities for the 2023 calendar year to discuss with the City’s state legislative delegation at the 2023 City Leaders Summit from April 12-14 in Sacramento.
