Title

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING CLIMATE ACTION PLAN for the purpose of providing that the sunset of the provisions of CR-032-2022 be repealed; and generally regarding climate.

 

Background

During the 2022 Legislative Year, the Council adopted CR-032-2022, a Resolution to adopt the draft Climate Action Plan submitted by the County's Climate Action Commission. Although the County governing body embraced 26 recommended implementation strategies for Climate Action across the County Government, including a prioritization of these strategies as well as costs and proposed funding mechanisms, the adopted Resolution (CR-032-2022) also imposed a "sunset" date of December 31, 2023, absent further legislative action of the County. This Resolution will adopt, as permanent County policy, the Climate Action Plan by the County governing body.
