The City of Coeur d'Alene began to look at sustainability efforts within city government in April 2009, when the City Council established its goals and priorities for the fiscal year. As a cost savings goal, the City Council requested staff to study green/sustainability plans. The Coeur d'Alene Sustainability Committee (later to be name "The Coeur d'Alene Green Team") is a direct result of that commitment.
The City made great strides in its first year of working toward sustainability, including the following: ° Creation of a volunteer employee committee “Green CDA Team” ° Completion of an energy audit and a performance based contract for energy savings programs with Johnson Controls ° Completion of a city facilities pilot recycle program and implementation of general recycling practices ° Identification of existing green practices ° Installation of motion sensor light switches ° Creation of sustainable section to the web-site ° Creation of a quarterly E-Newsletter with education and reminders to staff ° City Council approval for single stream recycling (community-wide)
