Date: November 15, 2011
To: Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
From: Mark Ray, PE, Engineering Technician
Subject: GreenSteps
Staff has had the opportunity to look at both ICLEI and the US Mayors Climate
Protection Agreement, as well as GreenSteps. In looking into the programs it has
become apparent that while they relate to each other, they are not the same thing.
Based on the review staff, has scheduled Philipp Muessig, from the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency, to attend the next Environmental Commission meeting so that he can
provide more information about how the different programs relate and provide more
detailed information about what each program does.
At the most recent Environmental Commission meeting staff was able to provide an
overview of the programs the City participates in. Philipp will be able to answer more
detailed answers and provide perspective on how the programs that the City does fit in
the overall environmental picture.
Attached to this memo are the 28 GreenStep action items. Staff quickly went through
the list and identified things that the City of Golden Valley has done or is planning on
doing.
