Evanston committee approves remote vendor attendance, ratifies minutes and forms task teams
Summary
The committee approved remote vendor attendance and ratified Jan. 7 minutes by voice votes, then set up three two‑person task teams to work on EUI targets, renewables and outreach; members self‑selected and staff will follow up.
At the start of the meeting the chair asked members to approve remote participation for a vendor; the request was approved by voice vote after members called "Aye." Later, the committee approved the meeting minutes from Jan. 7 by voice vote after an accessibility note that some members could not open the minutes link in advance.
Chair presented a proposed syllabus and asked for volunteers to form three two‑person task teams to advance early development of targets and outreach. Members self‑selected into teams: the outreach team included "Stephanie and Tom," Charles volunteered for the EUI (energy use intensity) targets team and other members selected roles for renewables and communications. The chair noted the two‑person composition is intended to allow informal work without Open Meetings Act requirements.
No ordinance or formal policy was adopted at the meeting; the task teams are intended to produce draft materials and recommendations for future meetings. Staff was asked to circulate the slides and follow‑up materials provided by ComEd and to arrange a future capacity‑planning briefing if requested.
The chair moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded and the meeting concluded after a voice affirmation.
