Council votes to join WLGCC; amends resolution to allow assistant planner or designated staff as liaison
Summary
Monona will join the WLGCC after the council approved a sustainability-committee resolution and amended the resolution to designate the city assistant planner or other designated staff member as the city’s liaison.
The Monona City Council approved a sustainability committee recommendation to join the WLGCC at the Feb. 17 meeting. The WLGCC is an organization of local governments that shares strategies and best practices to advance renewable energy and climate goals.
Thor (online) described the organization’s structure and staff expectations. Council members and staff discussed the expected time commitment: monthly one‑hour meetings and optional bimonthly workgroups. Council amended the resolution to specify that the city assistant planner or a designated staff member may serve as the city liaison, providing council flexibility if the assistant planner position is vacant or the staff assignment changes.
Why it matters: Joining a peer network is intended to increase staff access to information and reduce duplicative research for sustainability initiatives. The amendment gives staff flexibility in who represents the city.
Next steps: Planning staff to identify the liaison and notify WLGCC. Participation in workgroups will be optional based on city priorities.
