A PETITION TO CITY OF FRANKLIN ELECTED OFFICIALS IN SUPPORT OF MAINTAINING THE VOLUNTEER ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION

The petition

FACT: We appreciate our City’s rural character.

FACT: The Commission has secured a significant amount of funds for our City at no cost to taxpayers through grants and donations.

FACT: The Commission is a recommending body to the Council and does not pose the threat of anti- development as some have worked hard to portray them.

FACT: The Commission has led the way for the City to become TREE CITY USA, the annual Arbor Day celebration and City Clean-up, protecting our water and preservation of Fitzsimmons Woods (a significant natural resource) to name just a few.

FACT: The City Government has proposed abolishing the Environmental Commission, which will minimize any voice for our community’s rural character at a critical time in its growth and development.

We, the undersigned, are in support of the maintaining the citizen volunteer Environmental Commission and request that our City of Franklin elected officials preserve and enhance their role, thereby providing a balance between the fast pace of growth and the need to maintain the aesthetics for our community.

Petition sponsor

Fred Klimetz was a former Mayor of Franklin, and helped bring back the Environmental Commission as a separate entity from the Parks Commission.

Greg Kowalski is the current Environmental Commission Vice Chairman and has a keen interest in preserving lands for children and future generations to come. Greg believes in development that can complement and include our natural resources for a better community.

This petition is not on behalf of the City or the Environmental Commission but is being done on Greg Kowalski's own time as a private citizen.
