WALLA WALLA – The Walla Walla City Council holds a work session this afternoon (Monday) at 4 p.m. A live stream of the meeting is carried on the city’s website.

The two-item agenda begins with a joint meeting with the Parks, Recreation & Urban Forestry Board. Those involved will discuss an urban forestry management plan for the city. Last year, the city council approved a contract with ArborPro, Inc. to collect data on the city’s street trees and to update its forestry management plan. That work is now complete.

City staff and representatives of ArborPro will walk the council through the plan. It has already been reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Urban Forestry Advisory Board.

The second topic on the agenda is membership in the Civil Service Commission.

A live stream of the work session is available on the city’s website. It can also be attended via Zoom by calling 253-215-8782 and entering meeting ID 848 1767 0051#.
