• Staff asked for Commission direction regarding SolSmart,a program similar to GreenStep Cities focused specifically on solar programs at the city level. The Commission felt GreenSteps was a better overall sustainability program and did not feel SolSmart was beneficial recognition/program at this time. 5.6 Solar Picnic Table The UST Senior Design class completed the solar powered picnic table and the city still needs funding for the construction of the table and installation of the system. Possible partnerships were discussed and funding options. Staff and Commission members will continue to work on this. 5.7 SustainER 2017-2018 plan and guidance for the group The student group SustainER will begin meeting again in September and will be working to recruit new members.The goal is to make the group more appealing and attract interested students.
