7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> A. Sustainability— Start to review the Commissions role: What does sustainability mean for the <br /> commission. If the commission focuses more on environmental sustainability and not necessarily <br /> economic sustainability-does it become more of a climate action plan. A sustainability plan and a climate <br /> action plan are similar but not the same. A climate action plan would be focused on things like community <br /> gardens, storm water run offs. A sustainability plan has to look bigger- looking into economic development. <br /> A climate action plan may spring board the city council to expanding the broader thought of economic <br /> development. The commission has to choose which way to go. Years ago, the city had a "green task <br /> force" that ensured green spaces were left in the city- this would sort of be bringing this green task force <br /> idea back. <br /> Staff will put together a template of a climate action plan with the focus on protecting green space and <br /> present to the commission; commission will dissect the plan presented. <br /> 8.
