cell related research teams and companies;<br />
• Develop policies in order to encourage local businesses to implement<br />
hydrogen and fuel cell technologies and propose amendments to<br />

applications; and<br />
• Appropriate the resources necessary to train city staff in hydrogen and fuel<br />
cell technologies and applications including national and international building<br />
codes.<br />
