ACTION REQUESTED 
On July 20, 2021, the Energy and Sustainability standing committee met and recommended the
Charter be amended to change the name of the committee to the Sustainability, Environment,
and Climate Committee. This action is brought forward for Commission consideration through
the accompanying resolution. 
As this is a ministerial action, staff requests the Commission consider waiving the requirement
for two readings of a resolution, suspend the second reading, and consider introduction and
adoption of the proposed resolution on the same day, per the Commission Bylaws and Rules of
Procedure, Article VI, Rules of Order(5)(d). 
(5)(d) A resolution shall be introduced and adopted by separate votes on the
introduction of the resolution and the adoption of the resolution. No resolution
shall be adopted on the same day upon which it is introduced, except by
unanimous consent of all commissioners as described in these bylaws. Once a
motion for introduction of a resolution has been made or a resolution has been
filed by its inclusion on an approved agenda, it shall be modified prior to adoption
only by amendment. Commissioners may give their consent to adopt a resolution
on the same day it is introduced in person at the meeting during which final
passage of the resolution is sought or, in the case of commissioners absent from
such meeting, by advance written consent. Written consent for a vote on adoption
of a resolution at the same meeting as its introduction shall include the resolution
