Summary
A commissioner proposed the city create a dedicated sustainability coordinator position, noting much of the workload falls on staff whose jobs it isn't. It would have to wait for the 2028 budget cycle, with a case statement and peer-city research from Green Bay to support it.

Impact analysis
Would add a new salary to the city budget if approved in the 2028 cycle — cost not yet estimated.
Residents would get faster progress on sustainability initiatives; overworked staff would get relief.
Also unclear—residents who depend on current services or neighborhood representation could be affected if the model changes.
