SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD
Vision of a Sustainable Lake Oswego
A sustainable Lake Oswego is a community that meets the vital human needs of the present without
compromising our ability to meet future needs. This requires consideration of both long-term and short-
term effects on ecological, economic, and community systems. Operating sustainably means that we are
leaving a legacy for the community of Lake Oswego and the planet.
A sustainable Lake Oswego is a place recognized nationally as a model of livability—a unified city with a
vital downtown, a strong sense of neighborhoods, and a harmonious relationship with the natural
environment. The lives of everyone who lives, works, and conducts business in Lake Oswego are
enriched by a wide range of choices in transportation, housing, recreation, and culture. Our
infrastructure is sound, our finances stable, and our citizens and employees healthy and engaged.
SAB Mission & Duties
The mission of the Sustainability Advisory Board is to promote the economic, ecological, and quality-of-
life sustainability of our community.

Sustainability Advisory Board is guided by the Sustainable City Principles embodied in the City's
Sustainability Plan.
b. Assist in the development of plans and policies to enhance the sustainability of the City as a
whole.
c. Educate and engage the public in efforts to make the community of Lake Oswego, including
residents, businesses, and institutions, more sustainable.

Karen Davitt would love to see some momentum on electric leaf blowers, maybe offer them in the
Library of Things, incentivize landscapers to use electric.There have been air quality alerts the last two
summers, and the gas blowers don't help.
