Environmental Strategy

3.3 Connecting the Goals to City Services

Not only are there interconnections between the individual community generated goals and commitments, the City administration, tasked with the programs to work toward those goals, have many shared roles. All issues involving the environment are not delivered by one work or service unit. Table 2 demonstrates the degree to which various departments are working towards environmental goals. Land use planning, transportation services, and water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste plans are addressed in specific planning documents, as are plans for Human Services, Economic Development, and Arts and Heritage.
