<br /> <br />To further demonstrate the commitment to sustainable practices, a Sustainable Buildings Policy for <br />Buildings Owned and Occupied by the City was adopted by Council Resolution No. 4884 on July 10, <br />2006. These resolutions join existing administrative orders concerning the use of recycled paper and <br />energy conversation. <br /> <br />These policies and practices would be reinforced in the proposed resolution which reaffirms the City <br />organization’s commitment to sustainable practices. A primary task for the staff person assigned to <br />more fully develop the recommendations (see item F above) in the SBI report would be a review of City <br />policies and practices to determine gaps between those and the SBI proposals. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br />The council has a number of options with regard to the six operational proposals. All six can be <br />approved as directive motions to the City Manager in order to begin the implementation processes. The <br />council may also wish to hold additional work sessions on any or all of the staff proposals. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager recommends the approval of the six recommendations to initiate the implementation <br />of the recommendations in the SBI report. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br />Move to direct the City Manager to place the proposed resolution publicly committing the City of <br />Eugene to sustainable practices and to businesses that produce sustainable products and services on an <br />upcoming Consent Calendar. <br /> <br />Move to accept the SBI report as presented to the City Council on September 25, 2006. <br /> <br />Move to consider the recommendations of the SBI report as a new council priority during the January <br />2007 council goals session. <br /> <br />Move to direct the City Manager to prepare an ordinance to create a sustainability commission as a <br />standing committee advisory to the City Council. <br /> <br />Move to direct the City Manager to prepare a budget proposal to implement the recommendations of the <br />SBI in the City Manager’s proposed FY08 budget. <br /> <br />Move to direct the City Manager to assign staff to develop a plan for the ideas, concepts and <br />recommendations in the SBI report. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />A.
