On April 27, 2005, the <br />council held a work session on sustainable design and construction practices for City buildings. <br />The council’s discussion of issues during these two work sessions set the stage for development <br />of a policy on sustainable buildings that encompasses both the initial design and construction of <br />City buildings and the ongoing operation and maintenance of City facilities. <br /> <br />As noted during these work sessions, staff is applying LEED guidelines to the design and <br />construction of City building projects and to the operation and maintenance of City facilities. To <br />date, the City has not pursued formal certification of any new or existing buildings. <br /> <br />Currently, the City is engaged in a master planning process to renovate or replace City Hall. <br />Adopting a formal policy on sustainable building will provide a context for a decision on the <br />level of sustainability to be incorporated in the City Hall master plan. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />On February 28, 2000, the Eugene City Council adopted Council Resolution No. 4618 providing <br />a definition and statement of intent regarding the application of sustainability principles to the <br />City of Eugene. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />The council can adopt or modify the proposed resolution, or take no action at this time. <br /> <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2006 Council Agendas\M060710\S060710C.doc <br /> <br />
