Golden City Council has made sustainability its top priority starting in 2007. As part of that endeavor, citizens were asked to engage in a broader community-wide effort to establish and implement sustainability goals through several Community Working Groups. The community working groups began meeting to study each of the goal areas in March 2007 and, in July 2007, made recommendations for consideration by City Council. A final evaluation report was produced by Natural Capitalism Solutions, an independent outside third party.
On Aug. 23, 2007, Golden City Council formally adopted the working groups' revised sustainability goals with Resolution No. 1793. City Council also ranked it's Top 13 Sustainability Recommendations for city staff to review for cost and work-load requirements, in addition to further analysis of creating a sustainability board and hiring a sustainability director. The remaining recommendations made by the working groups will be reviewed over time.
Concurrently, the City is engaged in an internal effort to reduce its energy consumption by 25%. You can learn more about the internal City efforts by clicking on City Operations at the left.
