Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes the completion of the City-County Sustainability Campus Metrics Report. The report outlines the goals of the Sustainability Campus that will be part of the development of land that was once a portion of the Yahara Hills Golf Course, and it identifies metrics that will be used to measure if goals are being met. The original development agreement between the City of Madison and Dane County (attached to this file) was approved by the Common Council in May 2022 via RES-22-00319 (Legistar file 70597). The agreement required the development of these Sustainability Campus metrics in section 4.3.
The proposed resolution further authorizes an addendum to the original development agreement to incorporate the Sustainability Campus metrics outlined in the attached report. No additional appropriation is required with approval of the report and authorization of the addendum to the development agreement.
