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.
