Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to develop a policy proposal to limit and mitigate impacts to areas negatively impacted by gas peaker units and other utility energy generation, establish a program to benefit residents negatively impacted by the location of past and future fossil fuel generation facilities, and report back to Council.

This resolution asks the City Manager to draft a policy aimed at limiting and softening the impacts of gas peaker plants and other utility energy generation on the neighborhoods that live alongside them. It also calls for a program to benefit residents who've been affected by where past and future fossil fuel generation facilities are sited, with a report back to Council. For folks living near these facilities, it's a first step toward addressing long-standing concerns about their footprint.
