ATTACHMENT A <br />City of Eugene Sustainability Commission <br />FY ’11 Work Plan <br /> <br />B <br />ACKGROUND <br />The Sustainability Commission was established in 2008 as a policy advisory body to the City Council and <br />City Manager in the development or initiation of programs or actions that will enhance and create <br />sustainable practices within the City and the community. The commission shall advise on policy matters <br />related to: <br />a) sustainable practices <br />b) businesses that produce sustainable products and services <br />c) City building design and infrastructure <br />d) related issues that directly affect sustainability efforts considered by the council <br /> <br />The mission of the Sustainability Commission is: <br />The Sustainability Commission works to create a healthy community now and in the <br />future by proposing measurable solutions to pressing environmental, social and <br />economic concerns to the City of Eugene, its partners and its people. <br />PWP <br />ROPOSED ORK ROGRAM <br />The City of Eugene Sustainability Commission proposes to complete a number of specific tasks under <br />each of the following broad themes in Fiscal Year 2011: (1) Land Use and Transportation, (2) Outreach <br />and Education and (3) Ongoing Initiatives - Monitoring and Support. This section is organized by theme, <br />with specific tasks described under each. <br /> <br />TI–LUT <br />HEME AND SE AND RANSPORTATION <br />The twin challenges of global climate change and long-term energy security come together in land use <br />and transportation. Over the past year, the Sustainability Commission researched these issues and <br />developed a set of broad recommendations for Council to consider when making decisions related to <br />Land Use and/or Transportation (Outcome 2 – FY 10 Work Plan). With a number of key land use and <br />transportation policy efforts underway or expected in the coming year, the Sustainability Commission <br />will focus on reviewing and assessing the policy and investment recommendations coming before Council <br />and will provide guidance and advice in an effort to ensure that sustainability issues are being considered <br />and prioritized by Council. <br />Most of the following tasks will, we anticipate and hope, involve the Coordinated Land Use and <br />Transportation Action Committee (CLUTAC), a joint committee of the Planning Commission and the <br />Sustainability Commission. <br />Sustainability Commission Work Plan FY11 1 <br /> <br />
