The Dallas Comprehensive Environmental and Climate Action Plan draft is available for download in an online forum for public comment and response by Dallas staff and others.

Per committee presentations (references below) the review period is Feb 3 - March 3.  Staff hopes for council (committee?)  review of the full draft plan on April 6, in time for adoption of a Climate Resolution and the plan on Earth Day April 22 and launch at EarthX April 23 – 26.

If discussions are grouped around topics (subject lines in email) following the forum sections (which appear to be aligned with the draft appendix C goals) it will (in my opinion) be easier to find them later (on the groups.io website).  This table also suggests potential Output and Outcome metrics, which might be a good way to frame comments.
