The purpose of this Committee is to increase the City's efforts to incorporate environmentally
responsible, cost effective policy in the planning, administration and economic development of its built
infrastructure and natural resources. The Committee may make recommendations to the City Commission
for their consideration and will be available as a resource on sustainability policy.
The committee is grateful for the land upon which we live, and recognizes the Potawatomi Nation as the
original inhabitants. The committee seeks to partner when possible with the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of
the Potawatomi (NHBP) Tribe in stewardship of the land and its natural resources.
