We <br /> would like to document some of the City's sustainability performance, assess what relevant data and <br /> information are already available, and get a preliminary understanding of what projects the City might <br /> consider in the future. <br /> We have contracted with Good Company, a local research and consulting firm with expertise in these <br /> areas, to gather the information and help us summarize the many excellent things happening at the <br /> City. There are three goals. First, we would like abig-picture view of what data we are already <br /> collectin and where there might be opportunities to improve our self-knowledge in key areas. <br /> 9 <br /> « our <br /> adth of <br /> t both the bre <br /> Second, we will document a few notable success stories that represen <br /> efforts and our opportunities for improvement; this information will be used to create a pamphlet for <br /> distribution to the public via the City Council. Last, we expect this information to give us a clearer <br /> picture ofsustainability-oriented projects to prioritize in the near future. (A copy of the project <br /> proposal is attached) <br /> Someone from Good Company will contact you in the next week to get this process underway. I <br /> understand that we're approaching the holiday season when many of us are not as accessible, but <br /> this process will continue into January. Good Company aims to complete the interviews by January <br /> 25; please help them meet this deadline, if at all possible. <br /> I am excited to see the results of this project. The City has so many great things going on - <br /> documenting our strengths and successes, as well as our opportunities for improvement, will be <br /> inspiring and important for us and for the public. <br /> Jim <br /> 12/16/03 <br /> <br />
