City Government Gets Green

City employees are working hard to implement Mayor Dwight C. Jones' Green Government Order calling for city agencies to create more efficiency and less waste in city government and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from government operations. 

Under the Green Government Order, city government is, among other things:

• Creating an Energy Management Plan to reduce electricity and fuel use
• Implementing a Green Procurement Policy
• Developing an anti-idling policy for city vehicles 
• Implementing a Telework and Alternative Work Schedule Initiative designed to achieve a goal of 20 percent of eligible workers engaged in telework or alternative work schedules
