Environmental Task Force
The Environmental Task Force will operate primarily as a conduit between, and as a source of knowledge, information and best environmental practices for, numerous existing CB4 committees who deal with projects, agencies and proposals that may have environmental impacts. Interaction between the task force and committees will be interactive: The task force can inform committees on recommended actions or practices, provide assistance on environmental issues, and become a knowledge base for committees to draw on. The task force might, on one occasion, proactively advocate to a committee for a particular outcome or action – or, in another case, take a question or issue back to the task force for discussion at the request of a committee. The Task Force regularly meets on the first Tuesday (day before the Full Board meeting) of each month, beginning at 6:00 PM, at the CB4 Office, 330 W. 42nd St.
