To: City Commission

From: RoxAnne Miller, Chair of the ECO2 Committee

Date: May 5, 2004

Subject: ECO2 Committee

It is with great pleasure that on behalf of the Douglas County ECO2 Committee I present to you information from the committee.  Attached is a draft open space plan prepared over the last year, a work plan and a timeline graphic for the next year. 

In addition, we present to you a request for short-term funding of $6000 from the city as part of a $16,800 budget for next year’s operations of the ECO2 Committee.  This funding is to help with the administrative assistance needed to see the ECO2 plan to completion and to develop a long-term funding source for a full-scale implementation of the ECO2 vision.

I will make a presentation to you at the May 11, 2004 Commission meeting, and will address any questions you may have. 

We remain fully committed to the goal building a better Douglas County through consensus building and simultaneous economic development and preservation of the environment.
