Jim —
At the May 5th Commission meeting, the Commission unanimously voted to change their meeting time
from 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm in order to proved a more convenient meeting time for the working public and
commissioners. The time change would occur after notification of Council and informing the public. The
Commission felt the "time change" could happen once proper notification was given. I propose we begin
the time change to become effective in the new fiscal year for the July 7th meeting.
After checking with Mary Ellen, as to how to move forward, she gave me this information below, and
believes a simple email from you to the City Council would be appropriate. I also want to have the
following announcement (or something like it) placed on the ENEW's:

Hi Karlene,
I checked our code and our administrative procedures manual and there is no set policy on changing the
time of a commission meeting. Below is what is in the Commissioners Handbook. We do not have an
ordinance pertaining to that.
❖ Time and Place of Meetings
Time and place for regularly scheduled meetings are set either by ordinance, commission bylaws, or
whatever rules have been adopted by the commission.
It should be fine to have Jim Skeels send an email to Council just letting them know of the time change.
You could also probably put something on your website page.

New Tree Inventory for the "City of Trees"!
Thanks to CALFIRE for administering another grant and for the matching funds from the
Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the City of Burlingame is pleased to
announce the completion of a new inventory of the City's 14,783 trees. Davey Resource
Group collected the data of all the City trees to update the information and install it on
the on the Parks Division's new TreeKeeper Program. The TreeKeeper program assists
the Parks Division with the ongoing care and maintenance records of all the park, street,
and public right-of-way trees located in the City of Burlingame. Using the collected data
Davey Resource Group was able to develop a detailed and quantified analysis of the
current structure, function, and value of this public tree resource. For more information,
you may access portions of the Urban Forest Resource Analysis/Tree Inventory Report
by visiting the City of Burlingame's "Tree" page on the City's of Burlingame's website

Forest Resource Anar ysis/Tree Inventory Report. 7.18.2011)
Help Plant New Trees to Sustain the "City of Trees"!
One of the primary recommendations by Davey Resource Group contained in the Tree
Inventory Report was to "Continue the annual tree planting efforts". Continued tree
planting is one of the most important components in sustaining an urban forest. The City
of Burlingame's tree crew plants trees three times each year. Each single family
residence is entitled to one "free" tree, and if space is available, additional trees may be
planted at the homeowner's expense. Each year the tree plantings have superseded the
tree removals. Throughout the years, Burlingame has been fortunate to have continued
this tree planting policy. However, with the downturn of the economy, budgeted monies
are reserved for the ongoing maintenance of this mature and valued resource.
We are hoping the citizens of Burlingame will assist us in continuing this vital tree
planting program. Anyone wishing to donate toward the tree planting program is
encouraged to do so. Please make your checks payable to: City of Burlingame Tree
Fund and mail to the Burlingame Parks & Recreation Department, 850 Burlingame
Avenue, Burlingame, CA 94010. Your contribution is tax deductible and will be
acknowledged once received -
if you have any questions regarding the City's tree program, please contact the Parks
Division at 650.558.7330 or visit the "Tree" page on the City of Burlingame's website at
hllp://www.burlin ag me.or ndex.aspx?page=67 . Thanks for your continued support as
we strive to retain this vital living resource that makes Burlingame known as the "City of
Trees".

Executive Summary
Recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City, USA for more than 31 years, trees
are an important part of the history and character of Burlingame, California. Often referred
to as the City of Trees, the community has an active street tree program and a tree protection
ordinance (11.04.035) that prohibits the destruction, injury, or removal of public trees
without a permit.
As a continuation of their long-standing, proactive approach to managing the urban forest,
the City of Burlingame contracted with Davey Resource Group (DRG) in 2011 to inventory
publicly owned trees on streets and right-of-ways, in parks, and at City facilities. The
inventory, conducted by a team of arborists, included a brief inspection of each tree. In
addition to the geographic location, the arborist also recorded the species, size, condition, and
current maintenance needs of each tree. The inventory identified 14,783 trees and 911
available planting sites. Using the collected information in conjunction with i-Tree benefit -
cost modeling software, DRG developed a detailed and quantified analysis of the current
structure, function, and value of this public tree resource.
The analysis determined that Burlingame's public urban forest is a cost-effective resource
that provides annual benefits of $2,275,915 ($153 per tree). These benefits include energy
savings, air quality improvements, stormwater interception, atmospheric CO2 reduction, and
aesthetic contributions to the social and economic health of the community. Considering the
annual investment of $954,000 ($33.88 per capita) to provide care for this resource, the
community realizes an overall net benefit of $1,321,915. The bottom line is that for every
$1 spent on public trees, the community of Burlingame receives $2.39 in benefits.
Each year, public trees reduce electrical energy consumption by 1,805 megawatt hours
(MWh) and annual natural gas consumption by 36,555 therms, for a combined value of
$366,259. In addition, canopy from this population annually reduces stormwater runoff by
22.8 million gallons, protecting local water resources, including the Bay, by preventing the
introduction of sediment and pollution. Because the public tree inventory currently includes
a large percentage of species that naturally emit higher amounts of biogenic volatile organic
compounds (BVOCs), the air quality benefits provided by the overall population are
negative. However, the population is removing, through deposition and interception, 3.7 tons
of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (S02), ozone (03), and small particulate matter
(PMio) from the atmosphere each year.
Through continued growth, greater tree canopy coverage, improved overall health, species
selection, and increased lifespan, the urban forest is one community asset that has the
potential to increase in value and provided benefits over time. Burlingame has a nearly ideal
age distribution, with a good number of young trees establishing and poised to replace older,
declining populations. Many of these young trees produce positive air quality benefits and
although it is critical to maintain an adequate level of resources to protect and nurture this
investment, the City is well positioned to realize an increase in environmental benefits over
time. Burlingame's ongoing commitment to maintaining and conserving the urban forest
will continue to ensure that the community will always be a great place to live.

Introduction
Often referred to as the City of Trees, Burlingame, California is located on the San Francisco
peninsula, in San Mateo County. Incorporated in 1908, the City encompasses an area of 5.5
square miles and has a current population estimated at 28,158. With significant shoreline on San
Francisco Bay, residents and visitors enjoy a temperate climate and a high quality of life.
Determined to become a more sustainable community, the City's Climate Action Plan
encourages green practices and reduced carbon emissions. While trees are not specifically
mentioned as a solution, their contribution cannot be discounted. Individual trees and a
healthy urban forest play important roles in the quality of life and the sustainability of
Burlingame. Research has demonstrated that healthy urban trees can improve the local
environment and lessen the impact resulting from urbanization and industry (CUFR). Trees
improve air quality by manufacturing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2), as well as
filtering and reducing airborne particulate matter such as smoke and dust. Urban trees reduce
energy consumption by shading structures from solar energy and reducing the overall rise in
temperature created through urban heat island effects (EPA). Urban trees slow and reduce
stormwater runoff, helping to protect critical waterways, including the Bay, from excess
pollutants and particulates and urban trees provide critical habitat for wildlife and promote a
connection to the natural world.
In addition to these direct improvements, healthy urban trees increase the overall
attractiveness of a community and have been proven to increase the value of local real estate
by 7 to 10%, as well as promoting shopping, retail sales, and tourism (Wolf, 2007). Trees
support a more livable community, fostering psychological health and providing residents —�
with a greater sense of place (Ulrich, 1986; Kaplan, 1989). Community trees, both public
and private, soften the urban hardscape by providing a green sanctuary and making
Burlingame a more enjoyable place to live, work, and play. The City's 14,783 public trees
play a prominent role in the urban forest benefits afforded to the community and the citizens
rely on the City of Burlingame to protect and maintain this vital resource.
Acknowledged by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA for more than 31 years,
there is ample evidence that Burlingame values its trees. The City has an active Street Tree
program along with an ordinance (11.04.035) that protects street trees and other public trees
from being improperly pruned, injured, or destroyed. Reflecting further appreciation and a
proactive stance on the management of the community's urban forest resource, the City
contracted with Davey Resource Group (DRG) in 2011 to conduct an inventory of public
trees on streets, in parks, and at city facilities. A team of ISA Certified Arborists mapped and
geo-coded the location of publicly owned trees using global positioning system (GPS)
technology. The inventory data is maintained by the City's urban forest staff using
TreeKeeper* 7.7, a software management system developed by Davey to provide accurate
and dependable inventory data specific to tree characteristics, health, and performed
maintenance.
In addition to geo-coding the location, DRG aborists collected information about the
species, size, condition, and current maintenance needs of each tree. The collected data was
used in conjunction with i-Tree's Streets, a STRATUM Analysis Tool (Streets v4.0.0; i-Tree
v4.0.1), to develop a resource analysis and report of the current condition of the urban forest. -11
This report, unique to Burlingame, effectively quantifies the value of the community's public

trees in regards to actual benefits derived from the tree resource. In addition, the report
provides baseline values that can be used when developing and updating an urban forest
management plan. This helps in determining where to focus available resources and setting
benchmarks for measuring progress.
The purpose of the urban forest resource analysis and report is to provide information on the
structure, function, and value of the public tree resource. From this information, managers
and citizens alike can make informed decisions about budgetary support and management
priorities. This report provides the following information:
• A description of the current structure of Burlingame's public tree resource.
• Current, detailed management expenditures for Burlingame's publicly managed trees
and critical baseline information for evaluating program efficiency.
• A quantified value of the environmental benefits provided by Burlingame's public
trees. This also illustrates the relevance and relationship of the resource to local
quality of life issues such as air quality, environmental health, economic
development, and psychological health.
• Data that may be used by resource managers in the pursuit of alternative funding
sources and collaborative relationships with utility purveyors, non -governmental
organizations, air quality districts, federal and state agencies, legislative initiatives, or
local assessment fees.
• Benchmark data, useful in the development of a urban forest management goals and
for measuring the success of long-term strategies.
Burlingame's urban forest inventory included all publicly managed trees in streets, city
facilities, and parks.

Chapter 9: Urban Forest Resource Summary
Summary of Urban Forest Resource Structure
The City of Burlingame's urban forest resource currently includes 14,783 publicly managed
trees and 911 available planting sites. A structural analysis is the first step towards
understanding the benefits provided by these trees as well as their management needs. Upon
examination of species composition, diversity, age distribution, condition, canopy coverage,
and replacement value, DRG determined that the following information characterizes
Burlingame's public tree resource:
• The inventory includes more than 200 distinct tree species. The predominant tree
species are London planetree (PlatanusX acerifolia, 12.6%), blue gum (Eucalyptus
globulus, 11%), and southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiora, 8.7%).
• The age structure of Burlingame's public tree population is nearly ideal, with 41.2%
of trees measuring less than 8 inches DBH (diameter at breast height, measured at
4'6" above the ground) and 16.8% measuring greater than 24 inches DBH.
• Burlingame's tree resource is in relatively good condition overall, with 44.5% of trees
rated good or better and 49% rated fair. Maintaining the condition of existing trees for
as long as possible will increase their useful lifespan and promote a steady flow of
benefits to the community.
Burlingame's public tree canopy cover is estimated
at 274 acres, or 7.8% of the total land area and 71 %
of the total street and sidewalk area within the City.
• Burlingame's public tree population has
sequestered 34,749 tons of carbon (CO2) to date,
valued at $521,228.
Replacement of Burlingame's 14,783 public trees
with trees of similar size, species, and condition
would cost more than $41.7 million.
• Burlingame's current stocking level for public
trees is estimated to be 94.2%, based on a total 15,694 inventoried planting sites,
including 14,873 trees, 844 vacant sites, and 67 sites requiring stump removal prior to
replanting.
Summary of Urban Forest Benefits
Annually, Burlingame's public trees provide cumulative benefits to the community at an
average value of $153.95 per tree, for a total gross value of $2,275,915 per year. The City's
public trees are providing the following substantial annual benefits:
• Public trees reduce electricity and natural gas use in Burlingame through shading and
climate effects, totaling $366,259, an average of $24.78 per tree.
City of Burlingame, Urban Forest Resource Analysis 4
May 2011
• The public trees in Burlingame currently sequester 1,843.9 tons of atmospheric CO2
per year. An additional 758.4 tons is avoided through decreased energy use, resulting
in a net value of $34,003 and an average of $2.30 per tree.
• Burlingame's public trees intercept an estimated 22.8 million gallons of stormwater
annually for a total value of $91,179 per year, an average of $6.17 per tree.
• The total annual benefits contributed by Burlingame's public trees to property value
increases, aesthetics, and socioeconomic value are nearly $2.1 million, an average of
$140.08 per tree.
• While many species in this inventory are providing positive air quality benefits, the
prevalence of species that emit high levels of biogenic volatile organic compound
(BVOCs) is resulting in an air quality deficit of
-$286,390 annually.
• When the City's annual investment of $954,000 for
maintenance of this urban forest resource is
considered, the annual net benefit (benefits minus
investment) to the City is $1,321,915. The average
net benefit for an individual public tree in
Burlingame is $89.42 per year. Burlingame
receives $2.39 in benefits for every $1 spent on the
public tree population.
Urban Forest Resource Management
Burlingame's public tree population is a dynamic resource that is worth continued investment
to maintain and extend its full benefit potential. The community forest is one of the few
assets that has the potential to increase in value with time and proper management.
Appropriate and timely tree care can substantially increase lifespan, preserving the higher
benefit stream that results from a mature community forest. As individual trees continue to
mature, aging trees are replaced, and stocking levels increase, the overall value of the
community forest and the amount of benefits provided also increases. This vital, living
resource is, however, vulnerable to a host of stressors, requiring ecologically sound and
sustainable best management practices to ensure a continued flow of benefits for future
generations.
Burlingame's urban forest has a nearly ideal relative age distribution, with a good portion of
young trees establishing to provide replacement for older trees as their senescence
necessitates removal. While the overall population is in relatively good condition, the
inventory identified 306 trees in need of priority pruning to mitigate defects and/or improve
structure. An additional 252 trees were recommended for removal. Once these priority tasks
are completed, Burlingame can focus resources on maximizing the overall flow of benefits
by planting additional trees to replace removals and increase the overall stocking level
(currently 94.3%). Based on the resource analysis, Davey Resource Group recommends the
following -
Continue annual tree planting efforts with the goal of achieving a 100% stocking
rate, utilizing available planting sites identified by the inventory
1.,- • Increase reliance on species that provide positive air quality benefits
City of Burlingame, Urban Forest Resource Analysis 5
May 2011
• Reduce the prevalence of species that emit high levels of BVOCs. As these
populations age, install replacement species that provide positive air quality benefits
Promote the health and longevity of the existing tree resource through comprehensive
tree maintenance and a cyclical pruning schedule
• Dedicate resources towards a structural pruning program for young and establishing
trees to promote healthy structure, extend life expectancy, and reduce future costs
and liability
• Maintain a stable age distribution to ensure long-term resource sustainability and
optimal canopy coverage. Where possible, establish replacement trees for the City's
most mature trees (and top benefit producers) with trees of similar.stature before they
must be removed, thereby ensuring a consistent flow of benefits. Focus on planting
large -stature trees, where space allows, to maximize benefits
Planning and funding for tree care and tree management must complement planting efforts in
order to ensure the long-term success and health of Burlingame's urban forest. Existing
mature trees should be maintained and protected whenever possible, since the greatest
benefits accrue from the continued growth and longevity of the existing canopy. Burlingame
can take pride in knowing that public trees improve the quality of life in the city and that
trees are well worth the investment.
This urban forest resource analysis and report, based on the current inventory status, defines
the population and structure of Burlingame's public urban forest and quantifies the benefits of
that resource. The analysis focuses solely on publicly owned, city -managed trees. The
analysis utilizes i-Tree Streets, a STRATUM Analysis Tool (Streets v4.0.0; i-Tree v4.0.1), in --�
order to establish baseline information on the value to the community. This report and the
included analysis, which is unique to Burlingame, effectively estimates and quantifies the
value of the public tree asset in regards to actual benefits derived from this resource. In
addition, the report provides a baseline analysis that can be used when creating, implementing,
and updating an urban forest management plan, determining where best to focus available
resources, and setting benchmarks for measuring progress. An urban forest resource analysis
provides information on the structure, function, and value of the urban forest and its assets so
that forest managers and citizens alike can make informed decisions about budgetary support
and management priorities.
