The KUB Board of Commissioners appointed the 15-member citizen panel at its meeting on December 17, 2009, to perform a fair, meaningful, and timely evaluation of KUB’s tree trim policies and practices. After the panel completes its comprehensive review, it will make tree trim policy improvement recommendations. The panel members have diverse viewpoints and experiences that will be valuable during this review process.
