but not limited to the Sustainability Action Agenda, Transportation and Mobility Master Plan, Utility Master Plan, Parks and Open Space Master
Plan, Hazard Mitigation Plan, privately owned sewer systems, the Development Code, the Building Code, City-owned facility building standards,
oil and gas regulations, and procurement policies. The Environmental Sustainability Task Force will provide feedback to staff, City Council, and
any relevant boards or commissions on plan and policy recommendations and serve as an advisory board for a new Environmental Sustainability Master Plan.
The Environmental Sustainability Task Force will serve until such time as the acceptance of the Environmental Sustainability Master Plan or City
Council determines it has completed its duties or that no further review or recommendations are necessary from the Task Force.

The Task Force will consist of nine members. At least two, but not more than three, members will reside in each ward, except that City Council may
appoint members irrespective of this provision as it deems appropriate. In appointing members, the City Council will give priority to applicants

experience or expertise, including in academic or legal capacities.
The Environmental Sustainability Task Force will set a schedule at the first meeting. It is anticipated that meetings will occur monthly, in the
evenings, through 2025.
