Hello, There is another hearing by city council this week about the protected trees which were illegally removed in the Oakland hills by a property owner. The article showcases the multiple attempts to warn and stop his actions. Many city council did not comment nor vote last time around. Fife, Brown Houston voted against the fines. Gallo was excused (that vote going as a “no”). Hopefully they will see this cannot become a legacy pattern for the city. Please leave a comment and / or write in. The precedent will be huge if they do not seek the full penalty and take further actions to ensure wealthy developers cannot skirt our protections.
