Vail Daily file photo Eagle Town Council member Matt Solomon announced last week that he will be stepping down from the Town Council, a decision which officially took effect last Wednesday. The decision is not necessarily Solomon’s swan song as a local public servant, but rather an opportunity to “pass the torch” and take a “time out” to enjoy life in the community he holds so dear, he said. “I turned 47 this weekend,” Solomon said in a meeting of Town Council members last week. “… And I realized I have been in public service in this town and county for 20 straight years, five and a half of which on this council. ....
Kelli Duncan/[email protected] After opting out of an updated Climate Action Plan prepared by the Climate Action Collaborative, the town of Eagle on Tuesday came out with its own, seemingly more ambitious sustainability goals. The Eagle Town Council passed a resolution Tuesday evening adopting a goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions in town government’s internal operations by 2028 and in the “greater Eagle community” by 2030. “To move forward as a full squad and not be split on something that is probably the biggest existential threat to the town and to the species, I think it’s a big deal and we’ve got a lot of smart people to try to figure out how to get to 2030,” Town Council member Geoff Grimmer said following the meeting. “Maybe we even get there six months early and have time for some Champagne.” ....

EAGLE The Eagle Town Council is taking some extra time to consider its adoption of an updated Climate Action Plan prepared by the Climate Action Collaborative, a diverse partnership led by the Walking Mountains Science Center that includes some of the town’s staff. The updated action plan outlines strategies for Eagle County to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 50% from 2014 levels by 2030 and 80% by 2050. It calls for “emergency grade action” on climate and prioritization of strategies to immediately reduce carbon emissions. Some of those strategies include electrifying 5% of buildings annually about 1,640 homes and 10 commercial buildings. Others call for increasing the amount of all-electric or zero-emission new construction, accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles, diverting more organic and construction waste and cardboard from the landfill. ....
