Re: Pollinator Friendly resolution
Background: Christina de Sobrino has proposed the City consider becoming a Pollinator Friendly
City in support of a regional National Park Service initiative to establish a monarch corridor.
Issue: Should the City make a commitment to become a pollinator friendly community by
passing a resolution and committing to taking actions consistent with the resolution?
What is the level of commitment that the City is willing to make?
Proposal Details: A copy of the request and a sample resolution are provided. Approving a
resolution and committing to actions to support pollinators is consistent with the commitment
that the City made in becoming a GreenStep City.
Options:

4. Approve the resolution as presented
