The committee is asking City Council to support climate-planning work, staff and intern support, the municipal energy grant program, food-waste efforts, and an ICLEI Clear Path tool license. The energy grant program would continue helping residents if federal tax credits are unavailable. Discussion of a 2035 zero-emissions goal will wait until the Climate Action Plan is updated, and the committee plans to align its work with Sustainable Maryland certification requirements ahead of the 2027 evaluation.
