Support schools and hospitals buying milk without growth hormones

Police & Community Safety

In Plain English

The city would formally encourage local schools, hospitals, and other public institutions to buy milk from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones. This resolution expresses the city's preference but does not require any organization to change suppliers. If approved, institutions can still choose their own milk based on cost and availability.
