After a host of public speakers blasted Scottsdale’s sustainability plan for being too vague during a city council meeting in March, only two members of the public spoke out about the updated plan that was presented to council Nov. 13 - and they supported it.
Members of the public felt in the past that the plan lacked baseline information, goals and strategies on how to reach them, but that wasn’t the case Nov. 13.
“The draft sections of the sustainability plan are much improved from the prior iterations and present a solid foundation from which the city can measure and improve air quality and continue to show leadership in its water conservation efforts,” said Ute Brady, the chairwoman of the Scottsdale Environmental Advisory Commission, who was speaking as a private citizen.
