Policy ECF, "Environmental Stewardship" is before the Board for Public Hearing on proposed amendments. The amendments add a commitment to energy conservation and to renewable energy strategies to the policy and add the term "sustainability" to the title. These changes reflect past and ongoing commitments of the Board and practices of the district to promote environmentally sound policies and practices. The proposed amendments were discussed by the Policy Committee at the December 2016 meeting and, after further discussion, were approved by three of the four members of the Policy Committee on January 12, 2017 (one member was absent).
