We strongly encourage you to review these General Plan goals, policies, and actions, which were prepared by the City's General Plan consultants, and provide written and/or in-person comments on what is missing or should be changed when the GPAC reviews this draft on 2/18 and 2/25. Please take this opportunity to let the City know what you would like the City to be doing about environmental issues -- streams, pest management, urban forests, waste diversion, energy efficiency, open space -- NOW is your best opportunity to modify these policies!
