Responsibilities

The Cool Cities Committee is an advisory group of residents who assist the City by providing ideas and making recommendations in order to make the City’s operation more energy efficient.  In addition, the Committee coordinates efforts within the community to encourage residents and business to consider sustainable alternatives that benefit the environment.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for local community members as ambassadors of sustainability. We serve as advisers to Collinsville City Council as well as to civic committees, schools, organizations, and citizens. Our work as environmental, social, and economic stewards is rooted in our love for Earth, concern for community, and responsibility to future generations. 

Sustainability Plan

The Cool Cities Committee drafted the City of Collinsville Sustainability Plan with the intent to improve the quality of life for present and future residents by considering the long-term significance of our everyday decisions. The strategies within the Sustainability Plan are designed to make the City more operationally and energy efficient.
