Drawing comparison to such significant village legislation as its Master Stormwater Management Plan and the more recent Affordable Housing Plan, Northbrook trustees on Tuesday took a step toward implementing a Climate Action Plan.
In a public hearing, citizens and trustees generally praised the 186-page report that capped a nearly yearlong effort.
Northbrook Development & Planning Services director Michaela Kohlstedt headed a 40-strong contingent of village staff and board members -- principally trustees Bob Israel and Heather Ross -- and various village entities, guided by sustainability consultant paleBLUEdot of Minnesota, whose co-founder, Ted Redmond, spoke at the hearing.
