Shondra Farley (identified in the transcript also as "Chandra Farley"), chief sustainability officer, presented the mayor’s Office of Sustainability and Resilience quarterly update, outlining work on the city’s first climate resilience action plan, the climate risk and vulnerability assessment, and ongoing programs in fleet electrification, urban agriculture and community composting.

Farley said the office will present a final draft outline of the climate resilience action plan and the climate risk and vulnerability assessment at the climate resilience advisory board meeting on Dec. 3. She described Weatherize ATL as complete as a pilot but noted continued partner outreach to serve approximately 60 additional homes using Community Energy Trust Fund dollars. The office highlighted an award for the city’s 2025 EV readiness ordinance update and the publication of an updated EV readiness workbook. Farley also described the Phoenix 3 pilot that targets EV charging access at affordable multifamily housing and noted that the city is adding five sites to its carbon credit program, with verification underway for last sites and work to ready credits from Lake Charlotte Nature Preserve for sale.

On community composting, Farley told council staff and members that the municipal market’s community composter required a short‑term solution; the sustainability office coordinated with partners (Compost Now and Think Green) to address the issue and said municipal‑wide composting remains a high priority.

Council members thanked staff for the work and noted next steps, including engagement and implementation work tied to the climate resilience action plan and follow‑up on EV charging expansion to priority neighborhoods.
