Sustainable environmental practices and reduced energy, water and fuel use results <br /> in avoided costs for utilities and fuels, as well as the less obvious benefits of resource <br /> conservation, higher air and water quality, and less greenhouse gas emissions. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive and provide <br /> comments on proposed revisions to the 2005 Energy, Water and Fuel Conservation Policies. <br />
