EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As the County and other jurisdictions begin planning their budgets for the 2022-23 Fiscal Year, staff has requested input from the Climate Action Committee on potential actions to be accomplished in the coming year. This is necessary so that staff can provide estimates to each jurisdiction for their cost share next fiscal year, which is dependent on the number of hours required to meet the workload.
The CAC met on February 25, 2022, to begin discussing their priorities for the 2022-23 Fiscal Year. This item provides an opportunity for the full Board of Supervisors to provide direction to the County representatives on the CAC regarding regional climate action priorities.
