The City Council' s 2003 - 2004 Vision and Goals Statement includes the goals of Sustainable <br />Community Development and a Healthy Natural and Built Environment. The City' s ability to operate <br />and maintain buildings in a more sustainable way addresses both of these goals. <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br /> <br />The City's Environmental Policy, adopted in April 2004, commits the City to reduce environmental <br />impacts in all activities, including operations, maintenance, construction and waste disposal. Therefore, <br />the City is committed to continually review all activities to identify and carry out cost-effective and <br />achievable strategies to: <br /> <br /> · prevent pollution; <br /> · reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency; <br /> · conserve water; <br /> <br /> · reduce consumption and waste; <br /> · reuse, recycle, and purchase recycled content products; <br /> · reduce reliance on non-renewable resources, and <br /> · consider long-term as well as short-term environmental consequences when making planning, <br /> designing, engineering, purchasing, contracting, and budgeting decisions. <br /> <br />In 2002, Facility Management developed a draft sustainable building policy which can be viewed on the <br />division's web site. Subsequently, Facility Management expanded its green building program to include <br />the sustainable operations and maintenance practices summarized in Attachment A. The 2002 draft <br />policy is at: http://www.ci.eugene.or.us/asd/facilities/Programs/Green Bldgs/Sustainable_Bld.pdf <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br />This agenda item is informational only; no council action is being requested. <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION <br />This agenda item is informational only; no council action is being requested <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br />This agenda item is informational only; no council action is being requested <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />A.
