Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved new green building standards that the city must follow for its own construction projects. Currently, the city has no environmental requirements for buildings it constructs, but this ordinance will require future city buildings to use less energy and water. The standards are designed to reduce both operating costs and environmental impact over time. This was the first reading of the ordinance, so it will need to pass a second reading before becoming law.
