If the City does not lead through a commitment to implement actions proposed in Items 8.10 and 8.14, then its previous commitment to be an environmental leader will be broken and efforts to mitigate emissions and build resilience throughout the community will be undermined. Given the Environmental, Transportation and Public Safety Standing Committee’s unanimous support for both items, we hope that the full Council will support items 8.10 and 8.14.
