POLICE REPORT JOlENE GUzmAN/Itemizer-Observer Falls City applied to the Tree City USA program, focusing on planting and maintain trees in public spaces, like parks. Falls City named Tree City By Jolene Guzman The Itemizer-Observer FALLS CITY — Trees and Falls City go together, so it seems fitting that the city would want to become a Tree City USA. In December, Falls City applied to participate in the program, joining Dallas, Monmouth and Independ- ence as local cities with the designation. A program of the Arbor Day Foundation, Tree City USA promotes the mainte- nance and planting of trees in public spaces within cities. On Dec. 8, the Falls City City Council assigned the city’s Parks and Recreation Government Committee as the city’s tree board. Also, the city spon- sored an Arbor Day celebra- tion on Dec. 10, a require- ment of the application, which was due on Dec. 31, 2016. “Being a member of Tree City USA, you need to have a designated day where you celebrate Arbor Day,” Mayor Terry Ungricht explained. Jo i n i n g t h e p ro g ra m means the city is obligated to spend $2 per person on planting or caring for trees, $1,900 in Falls City’s case. That amount can be met with activities that are al- ready in the city’s budget, such as maintaining or planting trees, or by volun- teer activities. In 2016, quali- fying expenditures, includ- ing grants, exceeded the re- quirement by nearly $3,500. Participation in the pro- gram comes highly recom- mended by the Oregon De- partment of Environmental Quality as a way for cities to improve and protect water quality. Ungricht said joining Tree City USA is a cost-effective way to meet DEQ require- ments. “Trees provide shade for cooler temperatures, filtra- tion of heavy metals in the soil and reduce damage to our waterways caused by runoff, erosion and sedi- mentation,” read a memo to the council regarding the program from Ungricht. Information for the police report comes from law en- forcement agencies. Not all calls for service are includ- ed. The status of incidents reported may change after further investigation. Indi- viduals arrested or suspect- ed of crimes are considered innocent until proven guilty. — DALLAS Arrests/Citations Shelly m. reed, 38, of Dal- las, on SW Bridlewood Dr. on Dec. 27 on a charge of failure to carry or present an opera- tor’s license.
