Below are the responses <br />gathered: <br /> <br />-Shoreview: Green Step City 5, no formal action plan. Recently discussed with environmental <br />committee and likely moving towards a formal plan in the next year or two. <br /> <br />-Falcon Heights: No formal action plan, recently passed a climate crisis resolution and developing <br />an action plan is their next step. <br /> <br />-New Brighton: Green Step City 5, working on developing their Climate Action Plan with Pale <br />Blue Dot. <br /> <br />-Little Canada: no formal plan, likely starting one in the next one or two years. <br /> <br />-Mounds View: no formal plan, working closely with Green Step Cities. <br /> <br />As can be seen above, New Brighton is the only City that responded and is formally working on a <br />Climate Action Plan, while a few other cities may be close behind. New Brighton’s development of <br />a Climate Action Plan is approximately $42,000. While Arden Hills is currently a Green Step City <br />2, there are no plans currently to pursue additional steps. <br /> <br />
