Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee (ESAC)

About

In September 2020, the City adopted the Environmental Sustainability Action Plan. The Sustainability Plan builds on the City's existing environmental efforts and creates a long-term strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create a thriving environment for generations. In support of this work, the City launched an ongoing Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee in 2021 to advise staff on implementation efforts.

Committee Vacancies

The ESAC is recruiting for three vacancies on the committee - two representatives from the General Population (must reside within the city of Redmond) and a representative from the non-profit community. If you are interested in applying, please reach out to jlybeck@redmond.gov for more information.

Serving of Sustainability

Join city sustainability staff and members of the Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee (ESAC) on July 11, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village. We’ll be there to chat about projects we're working on, answer your questions, and share our progress on the Environmental Sustainability Action Plan. This is an informal gathering, so swing by for five minutes to say hello, or join us for the full session.
