This climate action work had taken place over the last year and a half. It's <br /> something that both Councilman Bullock and I had been putting into our budget for some time, <br /> and because of Covid, it took a little longer, but we are really happy with the work and the progress <br /> of the Administration and of SSG, the consulting firm they hired to help us complete this plan. <br /> The plan will get us to near net zero by 2050 through 50 separate categories of work. This work <br /> is going to be spread out over that period of time. We're thrilled to have an actual Climate Action <br /> Plan that will accomplish what we need to accomplish here. We realize that this Climate Action <br /> Plan is a critical road map that'll guide our work and efforts for years ahead. We pledge to do <br /> everything we can as a City Council to help accomplish this plan, but again, that plan is the first <br /> 1 <br />
