City Hall Plaza Conference Room, 500 Castro St.

Our next Sustainability Action Plan (SAP-4) is almost here! We’ll be presenting our proposed SAP-4 to the Sustainability Committee for feedback before we bring it to the full City Council on October 22. This new plan maps out proposed actions the City will take during the next three fiscal years to help meet our greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets and make Mountain View a more livable, sustainable place for everyone.

Many of the actions in SAP-4 have come directly from the community, through recommendations made by the Environmental Sustainability Task Force 2, input at Committee and City Council meetings, and other community feedback, as well as recommendations in our new Sustainability Strategic Plan . Thank you for your ideas and contributions, and we hope to see you on September 16 to continue providing your input.

You’ll be able to find the Agenda and Staff Report here by September 12.

Wednesdays, August 7, 14, 21, 6:30-8:30p.m.
