Climate Analysis:

The election of UAC officers does not have a direct impact on climate mitigation. UAC business items may impact climate emissions and/or are related to climate mitigation.

The election of UAC officers does not have a direct impact on equity for the Olympia community. The UAC includes representative members of community to the degree possible based on the range of applicants participating in the annual recruitment. UAC members have opportunities to participate in policy recommendations to the Olympia City Council on issues that address equity related to the four City Utilities
