POLICY FOCUS
The EPC is charged under Resolution 2018-11 to “provide the City Council with recommendations, outreach programs, and education on environmental issues facing the Town’s natural and built environment.” Acting in an advisory capacity, the EPC has the following powers and duties:
a. Upon request, make recommendations (programmatic and legislative) to the City Council on all matters pertaining to the Town’s natural and built environment and the Town’s regional role and responsibilities as one of the communities on the San Francisco Bay Peninsula. b. Pursuant to established City Council programs and policy, assist staff in the creation of proactive community engagement programs for residents, commercial and public enterprises active within the Town’s jurisdiction.
Historically, the Town’s EPC has been the primary body in creating and supporting an annual Earth Day event for the Town, as approved by the Council.
