Public Comments <br />13 Ms. Elena Howie, 991 Parker, indicated she is a member of the newly formed <br />14 Group Resilient Roseville, and their purpose is to contribute to and promote climate <br />15 action projects and environmental resilience protection in Roseville. She indicated <br />16 she would like to address the urgent need for city action to address the climate <br />17 crisis. The group did not believe that the city is currently on course to meet its <br />18 sustainability goals of an eighty percent city-wide reduction of emissions by 2050. <br />19 <br />20 Ms. Howie explained this is a daunting task that requires action on many levels of <br />21 government and across departments in government. With Roseville's diversity of <br />22 parks, commercial property and housing the city should be offering leadership with <br />23 any current development and maintenance projects that envisions impacts on our <br />24 future. Decisions made today will affect any success or failure to meet our <br />25 emissions goals. <br />26 <br />27 Ms. Howie expressed her appreciation for the Commissioners outstanding <br />28 commitment to serve on this Commission. She is encouraged there has been <br />29 ongoing discussion and information gathering during recent meetings of this <br />30 Commission, such as the GreenStep Cities presentation in August and was looking <br />31 forward to hearing the Development Directors report on city Ordinance potentials <br />32 soon. <br />33 <br />Page 1 of 6 <br />
