| 1 | | | Item of Discussion | WORK PLAN REVIEW
Adam McMullin, Manager of Energy Management, updated the Committee on the work plan item to develop green development standards and a workshop or forum with developers to engage the community. He advised that it is premature to proceed with the idea of a workshop or a forum at this time, as he continues to investigate the development of green development standards.
Mr. McMullin mentioned that he would continue investigating the best approach to engage with the development community and report back to the Committee once more information becomes available.
The Committee discussed Mr. McMullin's comments and provided feedback on hosting workshops or forums to see what the industry is doing about green development standards. | Received | |
