Jon -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Update on Tompkins County Energy and GHG Emissions Element Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:41:26 -0500 From: Katie Borgella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Katie Borgella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: Ed Marx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Leslie Schill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello, Thank you to all the members of the community who helped us to craft the Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Element of the Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan. Since we promised at various public meetings this fall to update interested people on the progress of the element as it winds its way through the Legislative process, we are letting everyone we've reached out to and everyone who attended meetings or participated in discussions with us this past year, know its status. Yesterday, the Planning, Development, and Environmental Quality Committee of the Tompkins County Legislature recommended to the full Legislature the element's adoption as an amendment to the County Comprehensive Plan. The next steps are for the Legislature to 1) hold a public hearing on the adoption at its December 2 meeting, 5:30pm at 320 North Tioga Street, Ithaca, New York (please note that the Planning Department staff will be giving a brief presentation to the Legislature at this meeting, as well) and 2) vote on adoption of the element at its December 16, 2008 meeting. If the vote is favorable, we then have the fun and challenge of working with our partners in the community to implement the action items outlined in the plan. To view the element being considered for adoption, please visit our website at http://www.tompkins-co.org/planning/compplan/index.htm Again, thank you for your advice, ideas and support as this plan was developed for the community.
