Elgin Watchman

September 2023 Elgin Sustainability Commission Meeting

The Watchman Season 2 Episode 19

It's ladies night! Tia can't make the September commission meeting so the wonderful and talented Kerry Kelly attends in her stead. Tia invites Kerry on to unpack the meeting and is joined by another friend of the podcast, Kendra Kroiss, who weighs in on process and procedure themes from the meeting. 

In the September episode, Kerry divulges the commission's priority and strategic planning efforts and "visioning" session that was held during the meeting, along with questions about whether the commission should weigh in on the dam removal (or did they already?!) and an update on the Greenhouse Gas Emission presentation for city council. 

What should the commission focus on? What is their role, exactly? And how should the commission operate? These questions and more are asked and maybe answered- tune in!
