Service Description: The Encinitas tree feature class is a point layer that was intended to contain locations of all City of Encinitas maintained trees. These consist mainly of Public Works Street Maintenance (PWSM)-maintained trees and Parks-maintained trees. Small numbers of trees that are maintained by other agencies (Carlsbad, Private, Private-HOA, and North County Transit District) are represented in the data, but only trees maintained by Encinitas are represented comprehensively. There is no intended map scale for these features. Last Year Updated: Current year Attribute Quality: Moderately accurate and complete Geospatial Quality: Moderately accurate and complete.For private trees with the MaintainedBySource of "PWSM 10/24/2013," these 670 trees were changed at the behest of PWSM on 10/24/2013. These are trees on City-owned/privately-maintained streets. The reasoning is found in an email on 10/16/2013 from Mitchell D. Dean:"I think that private trees are defined as trees (even in the City’s right of way) planted by private folks, not the City.  City trees are planted by the City and maintained by the City on City property or City right of way.  I could not find any reference to trees in the City’s municipal code.  But, merely because trees are in the City’s right of way, does not make them City trees.  Were these trees on the City’s GIS list to trim and prune and water?  I can think of a situation where the City may want to argue that privately planted and maintained trees on the City right of way are private trees, especially when the City has not maintained them.  I would hate for a severely injured plaintiff to point to this case (over a couple hundred dollars) as an example where the City cared for (and therefore owned and controlled) a private tree, just because it was in the City’s right of way.  Aren’t there examples of people who have front lawns within the City’s right of way?  The City does not mow, water and edge those lawns just because part of it is in the City’s right of way, of course.  I think the best course in this case, is just to let this one go."This is echoed by Superintendent Mark Hosford: "This confirms we are doing the right thing when we tell folks we don’t spread out your dirt in front of your property, we don’t mow your grass, we don’t trim your hedges."
