body
DEPARTMENT: Transportation, Engineering and Development
SUBMITTED BY: William J Novack, Director of TED/City Engineer
BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
In 2019 a group of community members approached the City Council about creating a Sustainability Commission to assess the environmental impacts at the local level and develop recommendations for improvement. Rather than operating as a board or commission, the group was formed as Naperville Environment and Sustainability Task Force (NEST).
To further assist with the coordination and implementation of sustainable recommendations, a new Sustainability Coordinator was approved as part of the 2021 budget. This position was posted on March 5, 2021.
DISCUSSION:
Attached is a summary copy of the Sustainable Naperville 2036 report to provide the City Council and community a glimpse of the long-term vision. The comprehensive report, detailing the next 15 years, contains research and metrics and will be shared as part of the workshop NEST is requesting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Dependent upon City Council recommendations.
