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.
