2025 City Council Goals:
Goal: Combat climate change and strengthen the community’s resilience to climate impacts
Council Initiatives:
• Adopt a sustainable buildings policy to set standards for the design, construction, and operation
of City buildings that align with the Sustainability and Climate Action Plan.
• Implement action items in the 2024 Urban and Community Forest Plan (UCFP), including an
update to the City tree regulations.
• Develop an operational plan, potential code options and communications strategy to phase out
use of gas-powered yard and lawn care equipment in Lake Oswego after the City of Portland's
ban goes into effect. This project should have a two-year time frame.
2025 SAB Priorities (Input for City Council Goals):
• Improving availability of data and metrics on energy use and emissions to drive action, through
adopting a Home energy Score disclosure requirement and updating the City’s greenhouse gas
emissions inventory.
• Develop a plan to phase out gas-powered landscaping equipment in Lake Oswego.
• Sustainable Transportation, in particular improving safety and infrastructure for biking and
walking and increasing use of public transit.
