A plan designed to fight climate change, with a goal of making Kane County carbon neutral by 2050, will go before the Kane County Board for a vote on Tuesday.
The plan recommends actions intended to reduce the county’s greenhouse gas emissions and increase resilience to the effects of climate change. Across eight categories, the plan lays out individual goals and implementation steps that can be taken over the next 25 years. The plan will be up for final consideration at the Kane County Board’s June 11 meeting. The plan can be found atVoting against the plan at the Executive Committee meeting on Wednesday were Kane County Board members Mark Davoust of District 14 and Michael Kenyon of District 16.
Davoust said at the meeting that, while he is in favor of the plan, he voted against it because he did not feel like it was ready for final adoption. In a May 28 meeting of the Kane County Board Committee of the Whole focused primarily on the plan, county officials said the plan will not mandate anything if passed by the board. Instead, it makes recommendations for ways to create incentives or encourage voluntary actions, officials said.
Jodie Wollnik, director of the Kane County Water Resources Division, said the plan is not intended to create unfunded mandates, and that if funding was needed, it would likely come from grants.
