Overview
Established by ordinance under Chapter 4.92, the purpose of the commission is to provide leadership to ensure a secure and sustainable community development that maximizes public health, safety, self-reliance and welfare within the powers of the borough; and to lead a public process to identify sustainability goals for the borough and select metrics for monitoring progress toward meeting those goals. The commission is tasked with making recommendations to the mayor and assembly regarding how to support or improve those efforts and annually report to the mayor and assembly at the end of January on the progress made for the previous year.
