ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMARY <br />The City has begun to respond to environmental issues with a balanced approach and has the <br />potential for fulfilling the 20/20 recommendations. This year, a city staff person was assigned to <br />coordinate the environmental issues within the city and to work with the Environmental Affairs <br />Committee (EAC) regarding issues of sustainability (a balance of healthy environment, a healthy <br />economy, and a healthy civic life). <br />The EAC has been involved in the City Comprehensive Land Use Process and established the <br />need for a community Natural Resources Inventory (identifies areas of environmental importance) <br />and a subsequent management plan. This group helped promote awareness of Earth Day and <br />other environmental issues through a variety of activities. The EAC has had ongoing education of <br />its members in order to better understand and help promote awareness of environmental issues <br />within the community. <br />Recommendations: <br />Develop environmental plan including study of implementation options. <br />Continue to pursue environmental emphasis within the Town Center. <br />3 <br />
