Members

The Sustainability Working Group of Johnson County was established as an extension of the Joint Entities group in September 2015 and meets quarterly. Members include primarily staff whose work relates to sustainability and, for entities without such staff, elected officials.

Entities that may participate include Johnson County, cities, small towns and the unincorporated villages, school districts and educational institutions (University of Iowa and Kirkwood Community College) within the county.

Mission and Objectives

  • Share ideas and best practices
  • Look for opportunities for entities to participate in an already underway project
  • Provide educational meetings for elected official

Meetings

The public may attend meetings, which are held quarterly typically from 3 to 4 p.m. the first Wednesday in March, June, September and December. Because these are staff working sessions, public comment is reserved for the final 5 to 10 minutes of each session. The meetings may be hosted online, at the County Administration Building (913 S. Dubuque St., Iowa City), or at the site of a member organization. Please contact the [email protected] for meeting information at least 48 business hours before the regularly occurring meetings.
