City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 22, 2019 Page 5 Mayor Faust stated that would take the focus away from the Council who need to set the priorities and appropriate the monies.

There needs to be more separation. 6 Councilmember Jenson stated Council is actively participating in the GreenStep program as level 7 five. The Council is very committed to that program along with the GreenCorp program.
