PREPARED BY: Jane Byron, Stormwater Specialist AGENDA NO. 7.a.
ATTACHMENTS: None APPROVED BY: BLE
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion.
DISCUSSION:
With the establishment of the Environment and Sustainability Commission (ESC) by City Council, a
discussion on appropriate goals and objectives for the ESC has been on the agenda. As a task force, the
members had several projects and programs underway where review is appropriate to ensure that the ESC
can accomplish its stated directions to advise the City Council. However, the advent of the COVID-19
Pandemic has tabled a full discussion as meetings and events have been cancelled and a transition to virtual
meetings has commenced. At the May 19, 2020, Commission Meeting, the Commission decided to table
the 2020 Goal Setting Discussion until in person meetings resumed. With the COVID-19 Pandemic
showing no signs of abating any time soon, it is recommended that the ESC participate in a smaller scale
discussion of what it would like to accomplish for the remainder of 2020.
