On August 26, 2014, the City Commission accepted the recommendation of the Chief Procurement Officer to approve a contract with RS&H, Inc., to develop the Sustainability Master Plan.

RS&H will provide the City Commission an update that will include a discussion regarding:

2. An overview of the preliminary draft solutions memo which establishes a baseline for city operations, benchmarks performance against peer cities, and begins to identify potential solutions to improve performance in city operations, and
3. The results of the Local Government Operations and Community greenhouse gas emissions emissions inventory which provides an emissions baseline to evaluate the City's progress towards its emissions reduction goals.
