In fact, it the singular remaining Green Step BP to achieve Level 3, the highest <br />level in terms of BP advancement. Level 4 and 5 transition to benchmarking, data tracking, and <br />improvement. Level 4 is the establishment of data/benchmarking. Level 5 is when that <br />identified progress is achieved. <br />The deadline for calendar year 2021 Green Step advancement is April 1. Council can choose to <br />use traditional means to notify residents, or use mass notification (staff recommends as we will <br />be towing cars) and if so, determine when to authorize that purchase. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. <br />Financial Impact: Potential $5,000 impact to the 2021 Budget. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is recommending the Council approve Second Reading of Ordinance 947 and order <br />summary publication. Staff recommends a mass notification system allowing residents to be <br />notified and providing staff a tool to work with residents who have their vehicle towed, in <br />preventing it from happening again. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />�Bu ;-e)-��� <br />Don Peterson <br />Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br />Attachments: Ordinance 974 <br />
