Salt Lake Mayor Rocky Anderson's environmental adviser is leaving her post after five years on the job.

Lisa Romney has worked on expanding SLCgreen, the city's environmental initiatives that include everything from more efficient light bulbs to fleet vehicles that use renewable energy.

"It just felt like the right time to make a move," Romney said Wednesday. "It's a tough decision to leave when the job is fantastic and you love the people you work with and the community is so energetic and supportive."

Romney said she will resign after she helps train her successor, who hasn't been chosen. She took the post in 2001, after Juan Arce-Larreta stepped down.

"I am most proud of the e2 business program and the e2 citizen program," Romney said. Businesses and residents pledge under certain conditions of the program to reduce their greenhouse gases by recycling more, reducing the use of vehicles, using sustainable products in their homes and offices, and generally being conscious of their impacts on the environment.

Anderson's spokesman Patrick Thronson did not respond to e-mail and phone inquiries Wednesday. Anderson and Thronson have declined comment to the Deseret Morning News for the past 36 days.
