About the Climate Action Committee 

At its meeting on February 24, 2022, the City Council created the Climate Action Committee. The purpose of the Climate Action Committee is to gather and analyze climate information and draft a Climate Action Plan for recommendation to the City Council. The Committee's initial responsibilities are:

  • Prepare a first-year work plan, supporting the creation of a Climate Action Plan
  • Draft a Climate Action Plan for Council consideration. The tasks associated with the draft of the Climate Action Plan would include:
    • Review of existing local municipal climate action plans to identify best practices
    • Review and recommend changes to City operations to address climate change
    • Identify potential additions and amendments to legislation and community projects in support of a Climate Action Plan
    • Interaction with City commissions, committees, boards, and task forces
    • Identify potential funding sources to achieve the Climate Action Plan goals financially
