Sustainability board discusses drafting letters in support of SB 1541; Robert to circulate draft
Summary
After testifying in several counties, a board member urged letters to legislators in support of SB 1541; members agreed to draft a template and check with city staff about the proper submission route to legislators and council.
Robert reported that SB 1541 made it out of committee and moved into the joint Ways & Means process, and he urged the board to consider drafting letters of support given the bill’s potential fiscal review. "It's in the ways and means, house ways and joint ways and means committee… we'll get a fiscal," Robert said, and described recent lobbying and rallies. Board members discussed precedent for advisory groups drafting letters versus routing recommendations through city council.
The group agreed Robert would draft a template letter and circulate it to members for individual use; Dylan said he would check with city staff (and John) on the propriety of an SAB‑issued letter to legislators versus routing through council. No formal city action was taken at the meeting; members agreed to follow the staff guidance before sending letters.
