A <br />a STATUS OF THE URBAN FOREST <br />Based on these assumptions, <br />the City would need to spend an <br />estimated $61.6 million over the 25 - <br />year timeline, ranging from roughly <br />$1.2 million annually at year one to <br />$3.2 million annually at year 25, to <br />achieve the canopy goal (Figure <br />1-9). While the year one projection is <br />roughly equal in cost to the current <br />average annual spending on the <br />urban forestry program, as more <br />trees are planted and needing to <br />be maintained, the year 25 funding <br />needed represents an estimated <br />difference of over $1.2 million from <br />the City's current budget, even when <br />considering a three percent inflation <br />adjustment. This would necessitate <br />that the City identify potential future <br />funding sources (Appendix E) to <br />supplement the current urban forest <br />program funding or consider alternate <br />strategies, such as decreasing the <br />establishment program to only one <br />year or having the community take a <br />larger role in the canopy cover goal. <br />6 1 CITY OF PLEASANTON URBAN FOREST MASTER PLAN <br />
