The issue sparked controversy after several trees were cut near Lakeside Drive and Barham Boulevard, eliminating shade and protection from the sun. In a tweet posted on Friday, L.A. City Controller Kenneth Mejia provided an update, saying the company will be fined $250, the highest amount allowed by law for a first-time offense."Currently, investigations of unpermitted tree trimming are complaint-driven," said Mejia in a series of tweets. "We also discovered that permits to trim trees are issued by the City instantly. Due to understaffing issues, there is no pre-inspection on whether the trees need to/should be trimmed.
He continued to point out other issues, saying StreetsLA, which handles these type of issues, is "underfunded and understaffed" so the city "can't effectively protect our trees through timely and effective services."
