We will periodically print selected sections. See back for additional City Code. For a full version of the City s Code, please visit Sec Purpose and intent of article. The city deems it necessary and desirable in the interest of public health, safety and welfare to enact an ordinance for the conservation, planting and replacement of trees and to prevent the indiscriminate removal of trees in the city without denying the reasonable use and enjoyment of real property. The importance of trees is recognized for their shade, cooling, noise and wind reduction, soil erosion prevention, oxygen production, dust filtration, carbon dioxide absorption, aesthetic and economic enhancement of all real property, and their contribution to the general well-being and quality of life of the citizens of the city. Consistent with the expressed purpose of this article, all persons shall make reasonable efforts to preserve and retain existing, selfsupporting trees. It is also the intent of this article that all applicable sites within the city maintain or obtain a minimum tree density. (Ord. No , 6-9-2, ; Ord. No , IV, ) NEXT DUMPSTER DAY JULY 7, 2018 A MESSAGE FROM YOUR MAYOR Well the rain has stopped for a while and the pool is open but now the heat and bugs are back. I recommend a natural deterrent such as a Citronella plant for your deck or backyard to keep the bugs at bay. Thanks to everyone who came out in support of the Roswell High School Band on Saturday to enjoy the music, cold beer and food on The Green. The weather was a little hot but otherwise perfect for the event. Many thanks to our sponsors Gate City Brewing, Atlanta Plays It Forward & Tom LaDow for coordinating everything, Top Job Hospitality, Sandoval- State Farm, Lako Family Chiropractic, Crabapple Martial Arts, Topgolf Alpharetta, Canyon Clouds, Korsi Yoga and especially Carl Black Buick GMC Roswell & Tod Black for making a huge contribution to the event. I also want to personally thank our own City Administrator, Karen Segars, who oversaw the entire event on Saturday in my absence. We are looking forward to next year and maybe even a fall event in a few months. Thanks and enjoy your summer in The Park. Jim Still - Mayor
