ISSUE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
DEPARTMENT:
Administration
FROM: Chris Clayton, City Manager
MEETING DATE: March 20, 2023
SUBJECT: Bear Creek Riparian Restoration Project
ACTION REQUIRED:
Information/Direction
RECOMMENDATION:
The Freshwater Trust has proposed a riparian restoration project on city owned sections of the
Bear Creek Greenway. The Trust would lease a 50 feet strip along the creekâs riparian area for
a twenty year period. The project goal would be to establish mature streamside vegetation that
blocks solar radiation to Bear Creek. Trees will be planted along exposed, disturbed, or
degraded areas of the creek and managed to maturity over the twenty year lease period. The
project will contribute to cooler stream temperatures, weed suppression, bank stability and
aesthetic improvement.
