Update on the Sustainability Task Force and Formation of the Sustainability Youth Council (Community Development Director McIntosh).
a) RECEIVE AND FILE
b) APPROVE
1) As this approves a new committee, should not be on Consent. 2) Do not need a youth council (contrast to the "burdens" of LMB-- also, the STF was supposed to be expert assistance. 3) Need deeper dive into real enviro. impacts--need for better public transportation (schools/downtown); idling vehicles from bad signaling and poorly engineered intersections; excessive and unnecessary use of resources thru govt activities (Manhappenings; SYC; Pumpkin Races); no effective tree planting/preservation.
