The Carrboro Environmental Advisory Board is looking for applications for Carrboro residents interested in serving the town. A link to apply is here http://www.ci.carrboro.nc.us/AdvBoards/advbrdapp.htm. Generally, the Environmental Advisory Board will:
- Advise the Board of Alderman on policies, ordinances, and administrative procedures regarding environmental protection and the conservation of natural resources. The areas of review for the EAB include new development, solid waste, air quality, stormwater management, energy conservation, solar energy, groundwater, natural resources, and other areas.
- Suggest to developers ways to utilize energy efficient designed techniques such as day-lighting, siting, solar exterior lights, and other solar energy techniques as they become economically viable. This input from the EAB is to come at the request of the Board of Aldermen or as part of a concept review procedure.
- Adopt a set of guiding principles or goals for the EAB and review these goals periodically to determine if they are being obtained.
- Take any other action authorized by this chapter or any other ordinance or resolution of the Board of Alderman.
The Environmental Advisory Board meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m.
