From: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Re: Green Steps City
Background:
Council member Swanson brought the Green Steps Cities idea to the Council at the March work
session. She has gathered additional information including a resolution to share with the
Council.
Issue:
Should the City of Scandia join the Green Step Cities program?
Proposal Details:
A copy of a resolution as well as other cities' resolutions is provided in your packet. Council
member Swanson has also provided additional background information.
The resolution designates the City Administrator as the coordinator of the program but the
Council could decide to designate someone else.
Fiscal Impact:
Will depend on what projects the Council may want to do and whether or not the funds will
come from donations or tax levy.
Options:
1) Direct staff to place the resolution on the consent (or regular) agenda at the next meeting.
2) Amend the resolution then direct staff to place on the agenda for the next meeting.
3) Do not direct staff to place the resolution on the next agenda for adoption.
