  • SUSTAINABILITY AMENDMENT Adopted December 21, 2010
    SUSTAINABILITY AMENDMENT Adopted December 21, 2010 INTRODUCTION Since 2002, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of including sustainability in planning and other public and private policies, strategies, and programs. Although a number of the policies in the Stamford Master Plan 2002 relate to sustainability, there is no specific section dedicated to this topic. While definitions abound, the following best represents the concept of sustainability: “Sustainability is a balanced approach that considers people, planet, and prosperity. By ‘people,’ it means community well-being and equity. ‘Planet’ refers to the environment and resource conservation. And ‘prosperity’ means economic vitality. In the long run, sustainability means adapting human activities to the constraints and opportunities of the natural system we need to support life. Sustainability is a process of continuous, ongoing improvement, and a realignment of community goals and practices to grow in a more responsible and resilient manner.” (“Embracing Sustainability in Community Plans,” Benjamin A. Herman, Planning , April 2010.) As noted previously, there are a number of policies in the Stamford Master Plan 2002 that relate to sustainability. In addition, the City has been involved in a number of sustainability initiatives, including the mayor’s Sustainable Stamford task force, energy efficiency programs, green roof initiatives, the Mill River Greenbelt, legislation on municipal green buildings, and a host of others. The private sector has greatly contributed with transit oriented development, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified projects, revitalization of brownfields, and numerous initiatives to reduce energy usage and single occupancy auto travel. [See LEED box, p. 3.] In 2003, Stamford joined the Cities for Climate Protection Program, an initiative of an organization known as ICLEI (formerly the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, and now Local Governments for Sustainability, although they still use their original acronym).

Coordinated by the South Western Regional Planning Agency, the campaign included direct telephone contact using a discussion guide (Appendix A). The campaign was implemented by a team consisting of ConnDOT, and ConnDOT Commuter Services representatives from MetroPool, Rideworks, CT Transit, and 2Plus (Appendix B). The campaign ran from mid-August to mid-September 2008. Unlike traditional media/direct mail outreach efforts, this program is uniquely interactive -- engaging employers in a personal dialogue with ConnDOT Commuter Services representatives leading to an ongoing relationship for information exchange, needs assessment, and ConnDOT-sponsored commuter programs customized for the individual employer. The campaign was budgeted at $40,000. Funding was included in the 2008 Statewide Ridesharing Project (# 0170-2709; see Work plan Appendix C).

To the Board of Representatives, another issue that concerns me the most, about this COVID-19 situation, is to be delivering more supplies, of soaps, hand sanitizers, masks, gloves, and, other related supplies, that are being held at the Stamford Police Department, Chester Addison Community Center, Stamford Hospital, nursing homes in Stamford, and, other related social, health, and, safety organizations, that should receive more of these supplies, whether they must be paid for, or, just free of charge, so, we can continue to protect our health, our lives, our families, our neighbors, our community, and, our near coming future. To the Board of Representatives, I hope that this comment finds all of you, the very most important concerns, during this difficult time of the human dignity, and, I thank you all for your time, to hear my public comment. Thank you all once again, good night, take care, stay safe, healthy, protected, secure, and, continue to isolate yourselves.
