South Lake Tahoe’s Sustainability Commission will host a guest speaker on Oct. 7 at 4pm  in the City Council Chambers (aka Lake Tahoe Airport).

Leon Churchill, Tracy city manager, will share with commissioners information regarding methods to improve opportunities for financial collaboration to achieve sustainability goals, just as he recently shared with the League of California Cities. Tracy is the second city to receive the Emerald City designation from the Department of Conservation.

In addition to the special presentation, the commission will discuss plastic bags and Styrofoam and whether they should recommend a survey of local businesses to assess the impact should a fee or ban be considered.

Other items on the agenda include their first quarterly report and whether to request the city to adopt an internal energy efficiency policy which would include establishing a city Green Team.
