Public Comments <br />15 Sylvia Morton, 2593 Western, noted she was at the meeting as a member of the <br />16 League of Women Voters. She stated she was at the meeting in November and <br />17 talked about her concern with climate change and making specific plans to meet the <br />18 goals listed in the Comprehensive Plan for 2040. She would like to reiterate that <br />19 an eighty percent reduction in greenhouse gases is important and 2050 is a long <br />20 way off and the City may not be meeting that goal in any way that will be <br />21 recognized unless there are interim goals and benchmarks and ways of tracking the <br />22 progress. She stated reducing to zero at some point is a major task. Being realistic <br />23 about how the City gets there is important. <br />24 <br />25 Ms. Morton asked whether there is a department or person in the City responsible <br />26 for this task and if there is atimeline being worked on with interim goals. She also <br />27 stated in regard to green step cities, she did look on the City website and it is a part <br />28 of the City's Comprehensive Plan and she saw Roseville is in step two but many <br />29 other cities are at step five and there has not been any entry into the website in terms <br />30 of steps taken. She stated maybe steps have been taken but there has not been any <br />31 entry since 2016. She wanted to find out if the City is actually making progress on <br />32 the green steps program and if so, maybe that website can be updated. <br />33 <br />34 Chair Cihacek arrived at the meeting at 6:40 p.m. <br />Page 1 of 11 <br />
