SUMMARY:
During the current Legislative Session and Sate budget discussions, Governor Ron DeSantis has proposed funding for Climate Change and Environmental issues.
The purpose of this referral is to task the EAB with looking at the recommendations made by Pensacola’s Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Task Force and see if there is any potential applicability with the Governor’s initiatives. In essence, are there potential funding sources that the City might be able to seek in order to achieve some of the recommendations from the Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Task Force. Following review, the Environmental Advisory Board could then make recommendations to the City Council and the Mayor.
