City of Decorah has "adopted" a proposed Sustainability Plan

Members of the Decorah City Council meet at 5:00 Monday evening for a work session at City Hall.

Among the topics city council members will discuss is the city's Sustainability Plan.  The document was approved on a six-to-one vote last Monday, with an important change in language.

A previous city sustainability plan was "accepted" by the city council.  Several members of the current city council say they felt this did not lead to the city making much of an effort to put into effect the recommendations of the plan.

Last Monday the city council voted to "approve and adopt" the plan--a vote which some city council members felt best represented their desire to see the plan put into action.

This Monday evening, the discussion for city council members in the work session will be how to translate their vote into actions.
