UPDATED (8/12): At the Redmond City Council Derby Days booth our representatives weren't just handing out ice-cold "Otter Pops" ! Councilmembers also listened to comments from passing citizens..
According to a Council report, one citizen wanted to learn more about the Planning Commission and how to connect to them.
Presto! Wouldn't you know it? Council invited the Planning Commission to their study session meeting last night - to address the value and need for "Sustainability" in Redmond. Commission Chair Tom Hinman masterfully lead the thought provoking conversation. Do you care to listen in?
Tom's 4+ minute talk begins right at the start of the meeting. The entire council joins in. This is one of the most revealing Council meetings (video) I've seen.
Definition of "Sustainability": "to satisfy the needs of today without compromising the future's ability to meet its needs." The three components of sustainability are: environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Ref. United Nations.
