HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The EAB is tasked with the following responsibilities:
The Board may review and make recommendations to the City Council and Mayor on environmental policy issues as follows:
1) Proposed ordinances and codes of an environmental nature
2) Proposed changes to existing environmental ordinances and codes
3) Other environmental matters affecting the City referred to the Board by the City Council or Mayor
4) Other environmental matters affecting the City that are initiated by the Board and approved by the City Council and/or Mayor
With an eye towards the Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Final Report and Recommendations, as well as recommendations made by the Transition Team related to the environment, the Environmental Advisory Board seeks to take a more focused, directed and involved role, based on the subject matter expertise of the members that Council has appointed.
After a great deal of discussion, the attached list of goals - priorities was developed by the Board for items they would like to accomplish and/or address in the upcoming year. While these categories are presented in a broad sense, the Board has developed more objective based actions to assist them in attaining these goals and addressing these priorities.
In the upcoming months, the City Council should expect a greater level of communication from the Environmental Advisory Board, both seeking guidance and providing recommendations for action.
This item seeks to have City Council approve the Environmental Advisory Board’s broad goals for the coming year.
