Green New Deal Oversight Board
Seattle City Council voted to form the Green New Deal Oversight Board (Ordinance 125926) to advance the work of establishing a Green New Deal for Seattle.

- Provides recommendations on City budget priorities and priority City actions; and
- Coordinates efforts with City departments and existing committees, boards, and commissions.
