East River flood warning system
After six years of work, roughly seven communities along the East River have verbally committed to cost-share a new river gauge near Bellevue — a key step toward the region's first flood warning system for one of its largest watersheds. Brown County's emergency manager is helping coordinate.
Energize Green Bay clean energy campaign results
The Clean Energy workgroup delivered a routine update, received and filed with the other workgroup reports.
Pilot community food waste composting program
Dane County's new locked food-scrap drop-off boxes caught the commission's attention as a possible model for Green Bay. The group is gathering data from UW-Green Bay and Brown County's past program and watching for grants, though Wisconsin only got $3 million in federal climate pollution funding compared to Minnesota's $200 million.
