The Sustainability Commission works to identify and prioritize sustainability projects throughout the City and makes recommendations to the City Council regarding sustainability plans and actions. Established by the City Council in 2014 (first meeting February 23, 2015), its duties were formally codified in 2020 under Ordinance 1750 (§32.12 of the Indio Municipal Code), which specifically tasked the commission to develop and recommend a Sustainability Plan for adoption by the City Council. The commission explores and evaluates improvements and innovations relating to energy, power, water resources, waste management, and recycling, and works collaboratively with local and regional utility companies to improve quality of life for the Indio community.
