General Information
The tree board is composed of seven (7) members, at least four (4) of whom must be residents of the territory subject to the zoning jurisdiction of the city or own property in the city. Membership is appointed by the City Council. The director of public works serves as an ex officio member but does not have voting rights. Members serve three-year terms and serve without compensation.
The Tree Board selects its own officers, makes its own rules of procedure, and keeps a journal of its proceedings. A majority of the members constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.
Regular meetings are held on the second Monday of every month at 2:30 p.m. in the Second Floor Conference Room in the Operations Center at 305 Williams Street, Hendersonville, NC.
