	I like it better as an easy to use and customizable tool than a very complete format that is hard to use or modify.
	The tool kits provides an opportunity to standardize certain ordinance elements such as defining a qualified arborist, defining a tree protection area or zone, adoption of the ANSI standards into an ordinance to name a few possibilities.
	This is what all the cities I work with will do with this to develop plans (I will prod them).
	To be able to use as guideline framework for UF plan outline.
	take it to municipalities and show them one more tool that's available
