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.
SWGJC's mission and shared objectives
- Share ideas and best practices
- Look for opportunities for entities to participate in an already underway project
- Provide educational meetings for elected official
The public may attend meetings, which are held quarterly typically from 3 to 4 p.m. on 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 at the County Administration Building (913 S. Dubuque St., Iowa City) but may be hosted by another entity. This site will post agendas approximately one week prior to the meeting. Please check the agenda for each meeting for meeting location and/or online connection information.
