| Motion to direct staff to do a comprehensive review of the existing environmental policy currently enacted in the municipal code and ordinances, and to create a stakeholder engagement group regarding the environmental policies in the City of Thornton and to make clear some objectives and outcomes to come out of this. Areas of interest to be seen should include, but not be limited to, water quality, air quality, oil and gas regulations, and building construction and sustainability; staff will also solicit feedback from a group of stakeholders consisting of community members and business representatives about the impact of existing environmental policy on the community and businesses; for Council to advise the staff on members of the community and the business community that will be asked to participate in the is process; and the expectation of staff to lead the way in devising the best strategies to engage our stakeholders and to review the policy and make specific policy recommendations. For outcomes, it is expected that our staff will report back to Council on the progress of this policy review and stakeholder engagement every three months for a year before we reevaluate the process. And, staff’s objective should be to provide some specific policy recommendations to the Council during each report. Given the breadth of this work it is not expected that staff should make policy recommendations for all areas of interest all at once but Council would expect specific policy recommendations to come in during each report or, at the very least, a progress on where we are and, if staff determines a change in procedures that fall under the powers of the City Manager, and staff makes changes, they should inform the council of those changes and how the decision was made with respect to the stakeholder feedback and the ongoing policy review. So, given these objectives and outcomes that have been outlined here, the direction tonight for this motion is for staff to come up with a plan to implement the policy review and stakeholder engagement following the objectives and outcomes just mentioned and present it to Council at an upcoming Planning Session. | YES | YES | YES | YES | NOT PRESENT | YES | YES | YES | YES | PASSED |
