The Ames City Council meets on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m at City Hall. Click here for the full agenda. Tonight we'll mainly be focused on the workshop topic.

 

  • Workshop on Climate Action Plan. This will be the Council's first Climate Action Plan workshop. In it, our consultants will present an Engagement Plan establishing multiple opportunities for stakeholders and constituents to provide feedback "that will be used to create the most effective CAP possible, and to establish a community that will support the implementation of the plan through to its completion." This first workshop will also introduce the project goals and process, the scenario modeling method, and best practices for target setting and climate action planning. 

    In case anyone is wondering where we're starting from, the engagement plan cites the following assumptions and key messages:
    • Climate change is real and primarily driven by human activity.
    • The City of Ames is committed to creating a climate-friendly future by partnering with the community.
    • The City of Ames is prepared to pursue policy changes that encourage and require carbon reduction behaviors.
    • Investment in climate action contributes to Ames’ economic development, in addition to generating co-benefits related to health, improved environment, equity, and economic growth.

Communications to Council: The following items are requests and communications to Council that aren't published on the agenda, so we won't deliberate them substantially.  This includes staff reports and communications or requests from constituents and developers. Typically, Council will ask city staff for more information, put the item on a future agenda for deliberation and possible action, or just accept the communication, taking no further action.
