The Sustainability Honor Roll nominations will be reviewed before the commission votes on the April honoree, followed by discussion of the 2016 National Mayor's Challenge for Conservation.
ComEd has two grant opportunities available at this time: the Green Region and the Powering Safe Communities grants. The commission will consider applying for one or both of the grants.
The conversation will continue regarding changes to the city's solar ordinance. The Partners for Places grant proposal is also back on the agenda for continued discussion. Once the commission has hammered out the details regarding the ordinance and grant proposal, it will present its recommendations to the city council.
