Attachment B MEMO TO: Marc Culver, Public Works Director Ryan Johnson, Environmental Specialist FROM: Kimberly White, Sustainability Intern DATE: January 24, 2018 RE: Roseville Green Team One of the Best Practices that Roseville needs to complete in order to achieve Step 3 in GreenStep Cities is number 24, Benchmarks and Community Involvement. The primary deliverable of BP24 is the formation of a committee or task group to coordinate and oversee progress through the GreenSteps program, including establishing goals and outcome measures, as well as communicating progress to community members. These objectives are covered by action 24.1 and 24.2 of the Best Practice, both of which are required. The official text of these two actions is as follows: 24.1: Use a committee to lead, coordinate, and report to community members on implementation of GreenStep best practices. 24.2: Organize goals/outcome measures from all city plans and report to community members data that show progress toward meeting these goals. There are a number of ways to complete each of these actions, according to the various star levels. A one -star green team or working group could be composed of city staff members, such as city manager, environmental specialist, commission chair, etc., and annually releases a news article or other media to the community referencing progress in GreenStep Cities. This level also requires a link to the Roseville GreenStep Cities page on the city website. A two -star green team could be a citizens' group, citizens' commission, or a committee of city staff/officials that leads and coordinates the implementation of GreenSteps best practices. This group would also publish an annual report online with details of the city's progress. To achieve three -star level, the green team must include both city staff/officials and community members, and the annual published report should include some metrics or other data demonstrating measurable progress, such as energy saved, money spent or saved, or ecological footprint data.
