Why Is San Mateo County Tree Ordinance Update Taking So Long With Wildfires Looming?

VIDEO. From the Midcoast Community Council meeting March 10th, 2021.

Local realtor Cid Young, and MCC regular, updates council on the status of San Mateo County’s Tree Ordinance whose update has been in limbo for many years.

It’s has been brought to the Supervisor’s attention; several times since last year’s fires.

“If the County does not update its Tree Ordinance, then we really can’t do anything.”

Cid suggests we start writing letters to the Supervisors.
