environmental advisory board mission and goals

Board mission and goals review for environmental advice and priorities

Watch for a written mission/goals update and any formal clarification on how the board’s recommendations are supposed to reach City Council.

Typically discussed at Environmental Advisory Board. Check back when the next agenda is published.

At the Environmental Advisory Board’s June 16 meeting, members said their mission statement needs an update and asked a basic routing question: can they send recommendations straight to City Council, or do they have to go through the Public Works Committee? They also flagged drinking-water fluoride and Roundup use on sidewalks as possible future topics once that mission is clearer.

  1. The board reviewed its mission and goals and agreed they are due for an update, including adding a sentence to better define the board’s role.
