A
All
right,
good
afternoon,
everyone,
I
am
chair
anna
priest,
and
I
would
like
to
welcome
you
to
the
sustainability
advisory
committee
on
energy
and
the
environment.
This
is
the
august
18
2021
committee
meeting,
all
of
our
committee,
members
and
staff
are
participating.
Virtually
we
are
streaming
live
on
our
virtual
engagement
hub,
which
is
accessible
through
the
virtual
engagement
hub
link
on
the
front
page
of
the
city's
website,
and
also

the
stacey
committee
page.
A
So
I'll
now
go
through
and
introduce
all
the
committee
members
who
are
participating
virtually
and
if
you
could
just
say
a
quick
hello
unmine,
your

but
when
you're,
not
speaking,
please
keep
it
muted.
A
So
we
have
ann
keller
present
good
afternoon.
Everyone
kim
austin
hi,
maggie
gullick
hi,
everyone,
tim
orman.
A
A
Sorry
I
left
you
off
because
I'm
reading
the
list
from
the
minutes
from
last
meeting,
so
we
can
just
roll
right
into
that.
A
Sage,
thank
you.
We
also
have
our
staff
members
from
the
office
of
sustainability
looks
like
we
have
just
bridget
and
kira
is
amber
with
us
as
well.
A
A
All
right,
and
if
there
are
no
questions
or
comments
on
that,
would
anyone
like
to
motion
to
approve
those.
A
Thank

I
am
going

B
A
B
A
A
A
F
A
All
right,
okay,
so
then
the
third
item
on
our
agenda
is
updates
and
so
under
updates,
we
will
look
at
a
presentation
from
actual
greenworks
on
their
fiscal
year:
21
accomplishments
and
fiscal
year.
22
work
plan
and.
A
G
G
G
G
G
We
wanted
them
to
report
to
us
what
they
did
and
how
much
litter
they
collected
and
how
many
people
showed
up,
but
the
tracking
system
we
had
in
place
left
much
to
be
desired.
So
we
we're
not
completely
sure
how
many
people
did
that,
although
we
do
know
that
people
were
using
our
supply
stations
and
where
they
could
pick
up
gloves
and
vests
and
trash
bags
from
our
from
five
different
locations.
G
G
So
we
were
looking
forward
to
getting
ramped
up
again,
but
with
the
pandemic
beginning
to
surge
with
the
coronavirus,
then
we're
not
sure
what
the
fall
holds,
but
we
are
still
leading
safe,
volunteer,
litter,
cleanups
next
slide,
please,
in
our
area
of
waste
reduction
in
education,
we
focus
on
composting
workshops
for
residents
on
how
to
set
up
and
maintain
a
compost
bin
at
their
home
or
other
site,
and
we
held
two
online
workshops
that
were
well
attended.
G
We
also
implement
the
recycle
right
campaign,
and
this
past
year
it's
been
mainly
through
social
media
that
is
based
on
north
carolina's,
department
of
environmental
quality's,
recycle
right
campaign,
so
it's
know
your
nose
and
and
your
yeses
and
what
to
recycle
and
what?
What
not
to
recycle,
because
there's
a
lot
of
confusion
around
that.
We
also
promoted
the
new
waste
wizard
tool
online
and
developed
educational
videos.
G
So
if
you
haven't
seen
our
bag
monster
videos,
then
they're
worth
a
look,
you
can
find
them
on
our
youtube,
channel
and
links
to
them
on
our
website,
and
so
we
have
one
bag
monster,
video
that
was
developed
and
then
another
one
on
kirby
its
tour
of
kirby
and
the
recycling
center
in
woodfin
to
see
where
our
recycling
waste
goes
and
is
sorted.
G
G
Those
have
taken
place
in
january
traditionally
and
april,
although
this
year
we
did
one
in
june,
because
we
weren't
able
to
do
the
april
event
and
we
were
dealing
with
pandemic
circumstances,
but
we
were
able
to
hold
these
events
and
collect
much
material.
We
collect
things
like
tvs
and
electronics.
Batteries
cardboard
and
our
biggest
hit
is
always
styrofoam
and
people
can
bring
all
of
these
items
and
have
them
recycled
with
our
partners
for
free,
except
for
the
monitors
that
have
a
10
fee
associated
with
them.
That
doesn't
go
to
us.
G
That
goes
to
for
the
recycling
of
the
tvs
and
yeah
they're
very
popular
events
and
we're
now
have
expanded
to
henderson
county
as
well.
G
Usually,
a
piece
of
public
right-of-way
near
their
business
had
other
things
to
deal
with,
and
so
we
weren't
approaching
them
as
vigorously
as
we
have
in
the
past.
So
we
were
able
to
pivot
with
that
program
and
reapply
the
funds
to
managing
and
maintain
installing
and
maintaining
a
new
pollinator
garden
on
the
wilma
diamond
greenway.
It's
called
the
rad
hab
and
it's
by
the
craven
street
bridge.
If
you
want
to
take
a
visit,
we
are
also
implementing
a
garden
certification
program.
G
The
events
include
the
great
buzz
gathering
in
january
and
that's
to
bring
together
folks,
who
are
doing
pollinator
work
in
one
way
or
another,
whether
it's
growing
plants
or
doing
education
or
doing
research
to
talk
to
each
other
and
learn
about
what
each
other
is
doing.
And
then
we
also
have
pollination
celebration,
which
is
the
third
week
of
june
during
national
pollinator
week,
and
that's
a
whole
series
of
educational
and
fun
events
to
highlight
the
work
of
pollinators
next
slide.
G
Please,
oh,
I
should
go
back
well,
you
don't
have
to
go
back
to
that
one,
but
also
we
manage
the
the
certification
to
have
b.
City
have
asheville,
be
considered
a
b
city
usa
affiliate.
So
we
manage
that
certification
process
and
submit
a
report
and
application
each
year
as
well
with
urban
forestry,
which
is
everything
trees
in
our
network.
We
do
the
same
thing
for
tree
city,
usa,
with
managing
the
certification
process,
and
this
past
year
we
held
eight
public
workshops
on
urban
forestry.
G
Most
of
them
were
virtual
and
are
recorded
online
and
some
were
hands-on.
We
have
a
treekeeper
certification
course
where
we
have
certified.
I
think
this
year
we
certified
15
tree
keepers
who
help
us
at
our
native
tree
nursery
in
sand
hill
and
also
help
with
planting
projects
and
other
urban
forestry
programs.
G
We
also
developed
online
lesson
plans
and
educational
videos
that
again,
our
former
environmental
educator,
peter
menzies,
does
a
great
job
as
bag
monster,
but
also
he
plays
the
two
peters
on
his
educational
videos
about
urban
forestry,
so
those
are
fun
to
watch
as
well,
and
I'm
not
just
saying
that,
because
he
was
our
employee
next
slide,
please,
I
guess
we're
done
so
that
wraps
up
our
our
work
for
this
year
and
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
time
to
take
questions,
but
thank
you
for
having
me
present.
A
H
Thank
you
dawn
for
all
this
great
work.
Asheville
greenworks
does
amazing
work
here
and
I
have
a
question
couple
questions
one
is
about
the
b
city
usa
status
and
I'm
just
wondering
how
we're
doing
in
asheville
in
terms
of
policies
around
herbicides
and
pesticides
and
if
that's
part,
of
the
certification
or,
if
that
goes
beyond
the
certification.
G
Well,
thanks
keith,
that
goes
beyond
the
certification
process
for
to
be
certified.
We
need
to
have
a
committee
that
is
working
on
a
pollinator
awareness.
We
need
to
hold
at
least
one
celebration
for
pollination
celebration
week
and
we
need
to
have
a
proclamation
from
the
city.
We
did
work
with
the
city
pretty
closely
on
the
recommended
species
list
and
encouraging
as
many
native
plants
as
we
can
on
that
list
for
pollinators
and
also
we
did
work
with
the
city
a
few
years
ago
on
integrated
pest
management
workshop.
E
C
Hey
don
hi
thanks
for
that
great
presentation,
I
had
a
question
probably
a
little
bit
out
of
ignorance
about
the
hard
to
recycle
program.
It
was
great
to
hear
that
it's
so
popular
and
I
haven't
been
in
asheville
that
long.
I
think
I've
gone
to
a
couple
of
them
and
they've
been
very
well
attended.
C
I
I
do
continue
to
suspect
that
hard
to
recycle
might
be
a
little
bit
of
a
double
entendre,
because
you
have
to
keep
track
of
when
these
things
are
happening
and
where
they're
happening
and
which
items
you're
going
to
accept
in
the
particular
time
and
I'm
sure
you've
been
down
this
road.
But
I
I
I
want
to
ask
anyway:
have
you
looked
into
opportunities
to
establish
permanent
site
drop-off
sites
for
items
so
that
it
can
be
more
user-friendly
and
maybe
capture
more
of
the
some
of
the
styrofoam
that
might
otherwise
go
into
landfills?.
G
Thanks
steve,
that's
a
great
question
for
items
such
as
tvs
and
electronics
and
metal
scrap
metal.
There
are
places
that
you
can
take
those
items
throughout
the
year
and
those
include
the
landfill
where
they
will
not
be
recycled
and
the
biltmore
iron
and
metal
company,
which
is
one
of
our
partners
in
biltmore
village
area,
and
they
have
another
site
I
forget
where,
but
they
are
open
and
if
you
bring
your
scrap
metal
there,
you
can
even
get
some
money
back
for
it.
But
they're.
G
You
know
that's
those
items
cardboard
you
can
take
to
kirby
or
the
you
can
take
some
cardboard
to
the
transfer
station,
so
those
sites
are
available,
they're
not
always
convenient
for
folks
and
they're,
not
all
in
the
same
place
for
like
one
day.
So
I
think
the
hard
to
recycle
events
are
are
useful.
In
that
sense,
they
take
a
lot
of
time.
Staff,
energy
partner,
support
to
run
and
coordinate
all
of
that
so
yeah.
But
for
styrofoam,
which
is
a
special
case.
G
There
is
no
local
place
that
will
recycle
styrofoam
and
the
recycling
process
is
taking
all
this
big.
You
know
air
filled,
styrofoam
material
and
densifying
it
creating
pellets
out
of
it
for
use
in
new
plastic
products.
G
G
So
the
true
solution
is
stop
using
it
and
get
rid
of
encourage
manufacturers
to
stop
producing
it
and
using
it
for
packing
material,
which
we've
seen
a
lot
of
gains
recently
with
alternative
packing
materials
and
we're
also
looking
into
having
a
densifier
a
henderson
county
is
seeking
to
buy
one
to
have
there.
So
that'd
be
a
lot
closer
or
also
had
someone
approach
us
who
has
a
mobile
densifier.
Who
could
bring
it
right
to
the
events
and
have
do
the
densifying
on
site
to
save
some
of
that
transportation
costs
so
but
again,
yeah.
G
I
think
it
is
not
as
convenient
as
having
a
place
always
ready
to
accept
these
items,
but
having
them
all
in
one
place
where
you
know
they're
going
to
be
six
times
a
year,
I
think
is,
is
pretty
helpful.
G
A
And
I'll
just
say,
even
though
it's
a
hard
to
remember
event
it
every
time
I've
ever
attended
one,
it's
been
a
huge
waiting
line,
so
obviously
somebody's
remembering
it's
only
been
a
successful
event.
As
far
as
I
can
tell-
and
I
have
participated
in
the
river
cleanups
with
you
all
in
the
past-
and
I
think
it
would
be
kind
of
something
cool
for
stacey
to
potentially
do
as
a
group.
A
You
know
when,
hopefully
our
covered
numbers
start
falling
again,
yeah
I'm
seeing
some
thumbs
up
and
some
head
nodding.
So
maybe
that's
something
we
can
do
before
the
weather
turns
too
cold
or
potentially
even
in
the
spring
of
next
year.
A
G
Thanks
yeah,
when
this,
when
the
river
subsides
a
little
after
yesterday's
rain,
and
we
unfortunately
lost
a
couple
of
kayaks
and
a
trash
trout
junior
to
the
river
flooding,
so
we're
hoping
to
find
those
and
get
those
back,
but
we're
also,
you
know
more
concerned
about
people
who
lost
other
types
of
property,
more
important
to
them.
So
but
yeah
I'd
love
to
have
you
all
out
on
on
a
river
trip.
A
Great
thanks,
yeah,
and-
and
thank
you
for
mentioning
that
I
did
want
to
take
a
moment
during
the
meeting
today,
just
to
recognize
that
we
did
have
a
major
flood
happened
yesterday,
and
I
hope
that
everyone
here
was
safe
and
didn't
lose
too
much
property
themselves,
and
hopefully
this
community
can
rally
around
those
who
did
okay.
Was
there
any
more
questions
for
dawn?
D
Yeah
I
apologize
don.
I
didn't
commit
that
slide
to
memory
where
you
discussed,
where
you
focus.
You
said
that
you
know
you
don't
count
your
volunteer
activity
related
to
river
cleanup,
but
is
there
a
process-
and
I
assume
it's
buncombe
county
or
is
it
just
the
city
of
asheville.
D
And
so
the
question
that
I
have
is:
is
there
a
process
to
make
you
aware
of
areas
that
may
benefit
from
your
team's
volunteer
work
and
if,
if
you
accept
that
sort
of
feedback
from
the
community.
G
Absolutely
yes,
there
is
a
process,
I
mean
it's
just
mainly
contacting
our
office,
so
giving
us
a
call
or
email,
and
let
us
know
where
these
hot
spots
are,
if
they're
a
need
for
cleanup
to
happen.
Actually,
next
weekend,
eric
bradford
our
operations
director
is
leading
a
ravine
cleanup
where
they're
going
to
repel
down
into
this
ravine.
To
pick
up
trash,
that's
been
dumped,
there
depends
on
the
type
of
trash
or
the
the
nature
of
the
property
ownership
where
we
will
be
able
to
work.
A
A
I
Hello,
it's
good
to
be
here.
I
was
hoping
this
would
be
my
first
opportunity
to
meet
everybody
in
person,
but,
alas,
it
was
not
to
be,
but
I'm
gina
smith
coordinator
for
the
actual
bunk
and
food
policy
council.
Nicole,
are
you
participating
in
this
as
well,
or
are
you
just
doing
bountiful
cities.
J
Hi
everyone
I'm
nicole
heinbaugh,
I'm
the
program
co-director
for
bountiful
cities
and
I
also
serve
on
the
asheville
bunk
and
food
policy
council.
I
I'm
going
to
be
here
for
helping
to
answer
any
kind
of
questions
or
anything
like
that.
Gina
for
the
abfpc
presentation,
but
otherwise
I'll
just
be
mostly
conducting
the
bountiful
cities
presentation
all
right,
perfect.
I
Thanks:
okay,
I
guess
you
can
move
to
the
first
slide.
Kira
thanks
and
just
a
very
quick
little
bit
of
background
about
the
food
policy
council.
We
were
formed
in
2011,
so
that
makes
us
10
years
old
now
and
we
were
formed
by
community
members.
I
I
I
We
also
participated
in
the
food
waste
solutions.
Wnc
group
and
I
participate
have
been
participating
in
the
restaurants
and
retailers
working
group
and
I'm
also
participating
in
the
education
working
group
now
and
we
formed
a
food
security,
reparations
recommendations,
committee
and
completed
phase,
one
of
food
security,
reparations
recommendations,
project
and
I'll
be
talking
more
about
that
in
a
little
bit
next
slide,
please.
I
So
we
had
six
total
contract
deliverables
with
the
city
of
asheville
in
fiscal
year,
21.
the
first
one
action
a
was
to
work
with
the
office
of
sustainability
and
development
services
to
pursue
fiscal
year.
20
proposed
initiatives,
including
providing
information
to
the
office
of
sustainability
on
udo
policies
in
other
cities.
I
So
we
we
found
another
way
to
move
forward
with
that
which
I'll
explain
in
a
bit
action
c.
The
coordinator
will
attend
urban
forestry,
commission
and
sustainability
advisory
committee
for
energy
and
environment
meetings,
to
identify
overlapping
initiatives
and
provide
food
security
and
public
edibles
perspective,
and
so
that's
why
I've
been
participating
in
these
meetings
next
slide,
please
kyra.
I
So
the
next
deliverable
action
d
was
to
coordinate
with
climate
justice
initiative
to
identify
poor
communities
with
varying
social
economic
makeups,
to
conduct
emergency
preparedness
workshops
and
share
the
city
of
asheville's
climate
resource
guide,
and
we
did
end
up
working
with
east
end,
hawk
creek,
south
side
and
shiloh
communities.
On
that
action
e
was
to
select
one
neighborhood
to
collaborate
with
on
developing
a
neighborhood
emergency
food
planning
process
and
east
end
self-identified.
I
As
the
community
to
move
forward
in
that
area,
action
f
is
to
improve
and
expand
the
asheville
edibles
map
resource,
through
collaboration
with
the
city
of
asheville,
I.t
and
office
of
sustainability
staff
and
I'll
talk
some
more
about
that
too.
We
had
to
change
that
deliverable
somewhat
so
for
the
proposed
udo
changes.
I
I
So
all
right,
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide
for
action
b.
This
was
a
really
big
project
this
year,
food
security
reparations
recommendations
with
the
reparations
commission.
Yet
to
be
formed.
I
So
a
lot
of
research
was
done
in
that
area,
noting
best
practices
and
case
studies
of
successful
initiatives
addressing
food,
apartheid
and
other
municipalities.
We
had
a
fantastic
intern
who,
from
unc
asheville,
who
did
some
work
in
that
area
and
created
a
lovely
report
which
I
think
you'll
get
to
see.
Some
samples
of
in
a
couple
of
slides,
recommending
a
process
for
developing
a
set
of
community
determined
food
security,
related
reparations
recommendations
for
the
city.
I
Also,
nicole
townsend,
the
previous
coordinator,
hosted
a
series
of
black
farmer
meetups
that
was
back
in
the
first
quarter
and
I
think
she
hosted
two
meetups
there
weren't
a
lot
of
farmers
from
our
immediate
area,
but
there
were
many
farmers
from
the
southeast
who
participated
in
those
also
in
the
third
and
fourth
quarter.
I
The
draft
report
for
phase
one
was
presented
in
june.
It's
currently
in
the
process
of
being
finalized,
so
we're
right
now
in
the
interim
period,
where
we
pretty
much
wrapped
up
phase
one
we're
looking
at
phase
two
of
this
project,
but
we're
trying
to
finalize
some
things
in
the
report
and
and
how
we
want
phase
two
to
to
move
forward.
So
it's
still
yet
to
be
determined
exactly
what
role
the
food
policy
council
is
going
to
play
moving
forward,
that
is
ultimately
up
to
the
stakeholders.
I
I
I
I
participated
occasionally
to
introduce
myself
and
also
to
provide
updates
some
area
of
collaborations
with
you
guys
was
offering.
I
don't
know
that
a
whole
lot
of
support
happened.
I
was
very
new
at
the
time
in
april
during
food
waste
reduction
month,
but
I
did
reach
out
to
allison
and
there
was
some
collaboration
there.
I
Keith
with
the
urban
forestry
commission,
there
was
exploration
of
collaborating
with
asheville
greenworks
around
planting
edibles
at
hawk
creek
elementary,
but
that
didn't
progress
too
far,
because
there
were
concerns
about
the
edibles,
possibly
attracting
critters
like
bears
near
the
elementary
school,
but
also
I
did
make
contact
with
parent
dejong
staff
attorney
for
the
center
for
biological
diversity
and
he's
interested
in
helping
out
in
phase
two
of
the
food
security
reparations
recommendations,
project
to
explore
the
idea
of
planting
fruit
trees
and
nut
trees
as
a
reparative
measure
to
address
climate
change,
as
well
as
food
insecurity.
I
Next
slide,
please,
the
neighborhood
emergency
food
preparedness
work
action
d.
This
was
another
huge
project,
so
residents
in
the
four
neighborhoods
east
end,
shiloh,
haw,
creek
and
south
side
collaborated
with
our
emergency
food
preparedness,
working
group
on
planning,
information
sessions
and
workshops
and
developing
materials
for
those
covet.
19
really
changed
the
course
of
this
work
and
the
groups
expressed
concern
about
hosting
in-person
meetings,
and
they
also
were
a
little
reluctant
to
do
virtual
meetings
because
of
meeting
fatigue,
which
we
all
are
very
familiar
with.
I
So
the
working
group,
developed
handouts
and
various
resources
in
both
electronic
and
print
versions
to
be
distributed
in
those
neighborhoods,
including
an
emergency
response
system
diagram
and
a
preparedness
resource
list
designed
by
artist
karen
hanna
and
there'll,
be
a
slide
that
shows
photos
of
that.
In
a
moment,
a
survey
together
resident
input
we're
developing
an
emergency
food
plan
for
each
neighborhood
and,
of
course,
the
city
of
asheville
climate
justice
information
next
slide.
I
The
surveys
were
also
sent
out
electronically
through
neighborhood
list
serves
a
final
deport
report
was
developed,
develop
reporting
on
the
progress
and
results
of
the
work
within
all
four
neighborhoods
in
an
analysis
of
lessons
learned
so
east
end
self-identified,
as
choosing
to
move
forward
with
developing
its
own
neighborhood
emergency
food
preparedness
plan.
I
I
Next
slide,
please
yeah,
so
this
is
just
an
image
of
of
some
of
the
resource
material
that
karen
hannah
designed
it's
a
really
great
handout
on
high
quality
paper
and
we've
made.
So
I
don't
remember,
the
number
of
copies
nicole
has
been
more
deeply
engaged
with
this
work
and
she
can
give
you
a
little
more
information
about
these
materials
and
how
they
were
distributed.
If
you
have
questions
about
that
next
slide,
please.
I
The
next
slide
kira-
and
this
is
the
template
that
was
developed
and
the
foods
neighborhood
emergency
food
survey
that
was
developed.
I
Okay,
action
f,
is
to
improve
and
expand
the
asheville
edibles
map,
unfortunately
completing
this
deliverable
as
planned,
was
hindered
by
the
changeover
of
staff
that
we
experienced
this
year.
I
I
did
create
a
tracking
document
to
keep
records
on
all
the
community
gardens
in
the
asheville
area
for
inclusion
and
the
updated
map,
and
I
collaborated
with
patchwork
alliance
and
re-
did
some
research
on
urban
agriculture
programs
across
the
country
and
created
some
drafts
of
a
landowner.
Interest
farm
form
a
hold,
harmless
agreement,
land
use
agreement
that
can
be
adjusted
as
needed.
I
Next
slide,
please.
In
the
end,
the
city
approved
redistribution
of
a
significant
portion
of
this
deliverables,
deliverables
expenditure,
and
we
transferred
that
to
support
the
construction
and
installation
of
an
outdoor
pantry
in
deeper
view.
So
two
similar
pantries
were
were
done.
I
believe
it
was
fiscal
year
2020
by
the
food
policy
council
in
shiloh
and
easton,
and
they
were
very
successful
and
have
been
very
well
used.
So
it
was
great
that
we
were
able
to
transfer
that
money
to
support
this
pantry
project.
I
The
pantry
was
supposed
to
be
installed
by
the
d
review
residents
yesterday,
but
because
it
was
pouring
rain
and
flooding
that
is
actually
happening
tomorrow
afternoon
and
the
residents
will
also
be
painting
and
decorating
and
stocking
the
pantry
and
the
council
will
continue
collaborating
with
the
city
on
improving
and
expanding
the
asheville
edibles
map
in
fiscal
year.
22.
I
And
that's
just
a
couple
of
screenshots
from
the
asheville
edibles
map,
I'm
sure
you've
all
visited
it
before
there's
some
photos
of
the
similar
pantries.
This
is
one
that's
at
st
james
church
in
east
end
and
I
think
the
following
slide.
Is
there
yep
and
I
believe,
that's
at
the
shiloh
community
garden.
A
D
D
I
apologize
if
I
missed
it,
but
is
there
any
level
of
engagement
that
your
team
has
that's
directed
towards
any
buncombe
or
city
county
schools,
and
you
know
offering
presenting
this
kind
of
information
to
students.
I
J
Thanks,
no,
we,
the
food
policy
council,
has
not
been
working
too
directly
with
the
schools
in
our
history.
We
were
more
engaged
related
to
sort
of
farm
to
school,
advocacy,
programming
and
things
like
that.
But
it's
been
years
since
we've
had
those
sort
of
direct
connections.
D
Yeah,
I'm
aware
of
many
many
schools
in
the
city
that
we
live
in
already
have
some
sort
of
like
education
around
gardens
and
agriculture
and
and
perhaps
that's
a
good,
not
replacement
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
but
a
potential
opportunity
for
you
guys
to
engage
with
students
who
might
be
learning
about
that
in
their
curriculum.
And
then
they
could
learn
more
about
some
of
this
great
work
that
you
guys
are
doing
and
then
in
theory
bring
that
home
to
tell
them
how
great
it
is
to
their
parents.
D
And
then
I
had
another
question
quickly.
You
said
that
the
for
the
pantries
that
you've
been
installing-
maybe
I
missed
it,
but
is
that
funded
by
your
team
and
you
drop
it
off
and
then
the
local
community
stocks
it
or
is
it
something
that
the
community
itself
puts
their
own
items
into.
I
Yeah,
so
we
coordinate
with
the
community
and
the
community,
and
I
will
let
nicole
can
actually
give
a
lot
more
detail
about
this,
because
she's
been
working
on
this
program
for
quite
a
while,
but
we
do
work
with
community
members
who
help
plan
and
in
some
cases
they
help
construct
the
pantries
and
they
help
to
to
paint
them
and
get
them
installed
in
the
in
the
areas
in
their
neighborhoods,
and
then
they
do
work
on
keeping
them
stocked.
It's
like
a
mutual
aid
situation
for
those
communities
and
nicole.
J
Sure
yeah
additionally,
so
the
the
funding
sources
have
come
from
all
over.
In
order
to
fund
these,
we
did
have
some
funds
that
came
in
fiscal
year,
21
from
our
contract,
with
the
office
of
sustainability
of
the
city
of
asheville
that
helped
to
support
the
development
and
installation
of
those
two
shiloh
and
east
end
pantries,
and,
as
gina
mentioned
this
fiscal
year,
20.
fiscally
year,
20.
J
was
those
two
and
then
fiscal
year,
21
helped
to
fund
this
pantry
that's
being
installed
in
deverview.
Outside
of
that,
we
also
have
some
funding
from
community
food
solutions
that
supports
this
work
and
in
the
past,
we've
also
partnered
with
buncombe
county
in
order
to
purchase
some
supplies
and
things
to
help
stock.
J
So
tubers
things
like
that
are
able
to
be
stored
in
the
pantry
and
distributed
to
residents
in
that
kind
of
way,
and
then
finally,
the
food
policy,
council
and
other
kind
of
partnering
organizations
also
work
to
organize
volunteers
to
support
the
stocking
of
these
pantries
as
well,
so
that
people
from
beyond
the
neighborhoods
and
communities
in
which
these
are
located
are
able
to
support
that
effort
and
in
the
east
end
neighborhood.
A
Very
cool,
good
questions
chris,
I
think
teeth
raised
his
hand
next
and
then
we'll
take
a
question
from
steve.
H
Great,
thank
you
gina
and
nicole.
I
have
two
questions.
One
is
about
the
livestock
and
foul
ordnance,
and
I'm
just
wondering
what
the
expectations
are.
H
What
some
of
the
challenges
the
city
has
had,
that
that
that
needs
more
direction,
and
and
what
do
you
expect
the
result
to
be
and
and
then
the
second
question
is
about
community
determined
food
security
reparations
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
have
some
ideas
that
have
come
in
and
and
I'd
like
to
hear
what
they
sound
like
I'd
like
just
to
learn
more
about
that
process,
and
perhaps
the
timeline
for
for
how
that
moves
forward.
Thanks.
I
Sure
yeah
first
to
address
the
udo
question,
so
I
I
ended
up
collaborating
with
animal
services
staff
in
the
end
to
because
they
were
already
identifying
potential
changes
to
the
udo
specifically
regarding
beekeeping.
I
As
far
as
like
how
far
from
houses
the
beehives
can
be,
and
chicken
coops
how
far
from
from
neighboring
houses,
they
can
be,
for
example,
but
that
those
have
not
been
the
person
working
on
that
has
not
finalized
that
yet,
and
so
that's
why
I
created
those
templates
so
that
whenever
she
has
decided
what
exactly
those
changes
will
be
and
that
has
been
presented
to
city
council,
if
it's
approved,
then
we
can
start
to
spread
the
word
about
what
those
changes
have
been.
H
That's
great,
thank
you
and
my
other
question
is
about
community
determined
food
security,
reparations.
H
And
also
just
some
examples.
I
know
you
mentioned
the
one
example
of
the
fruit
trees
and
nut
trees,
which
may
or
may
not
be
from
the
community.
But
I'm
just
wondering
what
the
process
is
is
revealing
at
this
point
and
if
you're
allowed
to
reveal
that
and
and
and
if
and
then
what
is
the
timeline
and
what
is
that?
What
will
that
look
like
moving
forward.
I
Sure
yeah,
we
don't
have
any
actual
recommendations
on
the
table
at
this
point,
because
this
past
year
has
been
mainly
spent
convening
folks
to
come
up
with
what
the
process
for
determining
those
recommendations
will
be.
So
at
this
point,
we've
we've
had
this
committee
and
they
have
pretty
much
determined
what
they
want.
The
process
to
look
like,
like
I
said,
we're
still
finalizing
that
we
do
have
a
draft
report
that
has
not
been
finalized,
yet
that
that
goes
into
more
detail
about
that.
I
As
far
as
a
timeline
we're
looking
at
and
maybe
nicole,
if
you
want
to
jump
into
with
more
details
about
that,
but
fiscal
year
in
fiscal
year,
22
we're
going
to
be
moving
forward
with
determining
what
the
actual
recommendations
might
be
and
that
I
don't
know
how
long
that
might
take.
I
don't
think
anyone
knows
yet
how
long
that
might
take.
It
could
be
a
lengthy
process.
J
I'll
just
add
I'll
just
add
to
that
that
it's
we're
anticipating
that
in
fiscal
year,
22
that
we
will
actually,
this
group
will
be
able
to
at
least
coordinate,
hopefully
collaborate
with
the
reparations
commission,
that's
formed
by
the
city
and
county
in
order
to
sort
of
mutually
inform
these.
These
efforts
and
coordinate
the
efforts
so
that
we're
eliminating
duplication
of
process,
especially
yeah.
Thank
you.
J
You're
welcome
and
I'll
just
mention
one
other.
Just
really
quick
thing
about
the
food
security
based
reparations
that
it
that
these
reparations
that
will
be
coming
forward
from
community
residents
are
really
specific
to
the
food
security
harms
that
were
caused
as
a
result
of
urban
renewal
policies
in
the
city
of
asheville.
J
So,
just
to
note
that
it
is
such
a
very
specific
piece
of
the
whole
kind
of
reparations
picture
that
is
going
to
be
looked
at
by
the
reparations
commission
for
the
city
and
county
and
because
food
security
is
a
piece
that
is
so
often
left
out
of
those
conversations
and
because
this
is
such
a
very
specific
activity
that
had
results
that
people
have
right.
Now.
A
common
lived
experience
and
memory
of
it
felt
like
a
particularly
important
piece
to
include.
A
Okay,
let's
do
one
final
question
from
steve
and
then
we
in
the
interest
of
time,
we'll
let
nicole
do
her
presentation.
C
Good,
thank
you.
Actually,
questions
come
in
pairs,
but
they're
two
quick
questions.
Thanks
for
a
great
presentation,
you
guys
cover
a
lot
of
ground
in
important
areas.
I
I
just
just
two
sort
of
basic
questions
that
that
will
help
provide
context.
For
me,
at
least,
can
you
tell
me
off
the
top?
How
many
households
in
asheville
experience
food
insecurity.
J
Yeah,
so
there
are
different
ways
of
measuring
food
insecurity.
The
percentage
that
I'm
most
familiar
with
is
that
approximately
20
of
households
are
are
experiencing
food
insecurity.
However,
during
other
kind
of
measurements
that
are
conducted
by
the
schools,
they
found
that
even
up
to
anywhere
anywhere,
like
40
percent
of
students,
are
experiencing
food
insecurity,
so
yeah
it
depends
on
how
those
measurements
are
taken.
C
Got
it
my
second
question
and
last
question
is
historically
what
events
have
created?
Food
emergencies
in
asheville
had
has
the
pandemic
itself
given
rise
to
that
kind
of
situation.
I
J
Yes,
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
that.
So
yes,
the
the
pandemic
resulted
in
vastly
increased
amounts
of
food
insecurity
for
individuals
either
because
they
were
laid
off
from
their
jobs
because
they
weren't
able
to
access
foods
within
the
grocery
store
because
they
were
parts
of
vulnerable
populations
that
didn't
feel
safe
entering
into
those
types
of
environments.
J
And
what
we
did
see
is
that
during
the
earlier
months
of
the
pandemic,
we're
sort
of
beginning
to
come
out
of
it.
Now,
although
we
were
beginning
to
come
out
of
it,
but
in
prior
months
of
the
pandemic,
we
were
seeing
the
need
exacerbated
so
significantly,
and
I
don't
have
those
exact
numbers
on
top
of
my
head.
But
it
was,
it
was
it.
You
know
twofold:
it
was
200
in
in
many
cases
and
then
some
so.
Yes,
that
need
has
been
significantly
exacerbated
and
then
the
other
kinds
of
things
that
can
cause
food
insecurity.
J
E
Hey
this
is
quick.
I
work
closely
with
mana
so
that
what
we
traditionally
say
is
pre-pandemic
one
in
every
four
children
and
one
in
every
five
adults
suffers
food
insecurity.
I
believe
that
it
has
gone
up
almost
30
since
the
pandemic
hit,
as
of
their
last
quarterly
report,.
A
Wow
those
numbers
are
staggering
for
sure.
Thank
you
for
sharing
that
sage.
All
right,
let's,
I
don't
have
to
hand
the
microphone
back
to
nicole,
because
she
has
done
a
great
job
of
explaining
a
lot
of
these
answers.
So
I
apologize
for
the
misspelling
of
your
name
on
the
agenda.
It
looks
like
it's
heinbaugh,
nicole.
A
Please
go
ahead
and
start
your
presentation.
Thank
you
for
coming.
J
Okay,
thanks
so
much
for
having
me
yeah,
so
bountiful
cities
and
the
asheville
bunker
food
policy
council
collaborate
across
a
single
contract
with
the
office
of
sustainability.
That's
why
our
presentations
are
kind
of
together
in
that
way.
So
this
is
the
bountiful
cities
portion
next
slide,
please.
J
So
our
planned
actions
in
fiscal
year
21
were
to
complete
and
implement
an
edible
park
maintenance
plan
across
several
different,
edible
parks
in
which
we've
been
partnering,
with
the
city
on
and
including
signage,
developing
signage
for
at
least
two
of
those
edible
parks
and
exploring
community
garden
development
opportunities
for
the
george
washington
carver
park
and
the
montford
park,
which
is
located
at
the
tempe
avery
community
center.
J
That
was
one
additionally
facilitating
network
connections
and
food
production,
resource
sharing
among
our
community
garden
network
participants
and
members
in
the
general
public
and
then
finally,
managing
and
facilitating
the
expansion
of
the
city's
asheville
edibles
program
next
slide,
please
so
related
to
that.
First
action:
the
edible
parks
we
held
15
community
work
days
at
george
washington,
carver,
edible
park
in
tempe
avery,
edible
park.
We
also
held
one
community
workday
and
a
site
eval
at
the
west.
Asheville
edible
park
sort
of
in
preparation
for
this
next
fiscal
year's
activities.
J
J
J
J
Here
are
just
a
couple
of
images
from
some
of
the
work
days,
people
were
able
to
continue
to
come
together
throughout
this
latter
section
of
whatever
we're
calling
this
last
phase
of
the
pandemic
early
on
in
the
pandemic,
those
efforts
were
sort
of
thwarted,
as
people
were
not
so
comfortable,
coming
together
in
groups
even
outside,
but
as
the
months
progressed,
we
were
able
to
bring
more
people
back
together
again,
while
maintaining
social
distancing,
and
you
know,
masks
and
those
kinds
of
things
next
slide,
please
some
more
workday
images
next
slide,
workday
images.
J
J
We
also
were
able
to
prioritize
language
justice
in
this
last
fiscal
year,
and
so
we
partnered
with
cinson
play
in
order
to
translate
our
monthly
newsletters
so
that
they
were
distributed
in
both
english
and
spanish,
and
we
also
held
some
special
educational
workshops
which
were
in
spanish
specific
to
that
community.
J
So
we
had
a
total
of
around
150
participants
from
the
public,
and
most
of
those
workshops
were
also
recorded,
live
and
so
they're
available
on
the
bountiful
cities
website
next
slide.
Please,
so
here
are
some
images
from
our
community
gardening
workshops.
There's
one
you
can
keep
going
here
are
several
more
here
are
examples
of
what
these
newsletters
look
like
in
english
and
spanish.
J
And
then
the
asheville
edibles
program
action
c
so
because
one
of
the
goals
was
to
develop
an
additional
garden
space
as
part
of
the
city's
asheville
edibles
program,
we
did
a
lot
of
community
outreach
in
a
particular
neighborhood
where
the
murray
hill
community
garden
space
is
now
located,
so
that
site
is
now
thriving
with
they've
had
multiple
community
work
days,
we've
been
able
to
provide
lots
of
material
and
infrastructure
support
a
whole
new
garden
group
has
emerged,
which
is
partially
local
and
specific
to
that
neighborhood
and
surrounding
community,
and
we
continue
to
work
with
that
garden
group
to
ensure
that
they
have
the
supplies
and
materials
that
they
need.
J
Additionally,
we
continue
to
support
existing
asheville,
edibles
gardens,
so
the
elder
and
stage
community
garden,
which
is
located
downtown,
also
was
able
to
receive
support
in
the
form
of
gardening
materials
and
supplies,
and
we
developed
and
submitted
a
report.
It
doesn't.
The
last
part
of
this
is
cut
off
some
for
some
reason.
But
a
report
to
we
ran
an
analysis
on
the
effectiveness
of
the
asheville
edibles
program
and
we
created
and
submitted
a
report
related
to
recommendations
for
improvements.
J
A
Must
have
answered
all
the
questions
earlier
so
which
is
just
fine,
because
we
are
right
on
time
for
new
business
on
the
agenda
and
our
first
presentation
under
item
number.
Four,
let
me
see
if
I
can
find
that
again
is
a
presentation
and
discussion
on
asheville's
community
carbon
footprint
by
david.
Gordon
is
david,
gordon
ready.
B
You
bet
thank
you.
I
know
I'm
coming
in
on
the
tail
in
a
few
presentations.
So
if
you
need
to
get
up
and
stretch
or
you
know
do
whatever
it
is,
you
need
to
do
to
make
sure
you
don't
fall
asleep,
but
yeah.
My
name
is
david
gordon.
I
am
a
grad
student
at
lenoir-rhyne
university
in
the
masters
of
science,
for
sustainability
studies
program
run
by
keith
and
as
part
of
that
awesome
program,
we
are
tasked
with
working
with
the
community
to
do
a
big
project.
B
So
for
my
project,
I
ended
up
working
with
asheville's
office
of
sustainability
to
do
a
community-wide
greenhouse
gas
inventory.
So
you
know
we're
talking
just
about
anything
and
everything
you
can
think
of
that
emits
a
greenhouse
gas
within
city
limits,
there's
an
asterisk
there,
because
we
actually
included
the
airport,
even
though
it's
outside
the
city
but
I'll
get
to
that
late
either
way.
This
is
going
to
be
a
presentation
about
the
process
and
the
results
next
slide.
B
B
So
greenhouse
gas
inventory
is
defined
as
a
list
of
emission
sources,
so
things
that
put
out
greenhouse
gases,
the
associated
emissions
of
that.
So
what's
it
releasing?
Is
it
putting
out
carbon
dioxide,
nox,
methane
and
then
quantifying
those
emissions
using
a
standardized
method,
so
we're
calculating
the
numbers
with
a
standard
protocol?
That's
widely
recognized.
B
Why
would
we
want
to
do
all
that?
Well,
it
turns
out
there's
this
thing
called
climate
change.
You
may
be
familiar
with
it.
It's
bad
and
it's
real.
So
in
their
most
recent
release,
the
ipcc
or
the
international
panel
on
climate
change
just
stated
that
unless
there
are
immediate,
rapid
and
large-scale
reductions
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
the
limiting
warming
to
close
to
one
and
a
half
degrees
celsius
or
even
two
degrees
celsius
will
be
beyond
reach.
B
B
Well,
as
I'm
sure
you
all
know,
asheville
has
long
been
committed
to
sustainability
and
carbon
reduction,
as
I'm
sure
you've
seen
in
many
of
its
actions,
visions
and
goals,
and
there
was
actually
an
initial
greenhouse
gas
inventory
done
in
2012,
but
this
was
the
first
time
that
the
process
was
ever
repeated
kind
of
just
reaffirming
that
commitment
and
this
whole
big
process
is
really
just
one
step
in
the
lifelong
journey
of
asheville
and
its
commitment
to
sustainability,
carbon
reduction
and
meeting
those
sustainability
goals
next
slide.
B
Why
does
any
of
this
matter
to
asheville?
And
why
are
we
going
to
try
to
do
stuff
well,
cities
and
urban
areas
where
they
only
cover
about
two
percent
of
the
land
on
earth's
surface,
are
actually
home
to
over
half
the
world's
population
and
account
for
about
a
whopping
eighty
percent
of
greenhouse
gases.
B
Not
to
mention
that
inventories
can
help
in
various
other
ways,
such
as
emissions,
forecasting,
climate
action
planning
and
creating
a
baseline
to
compare
to
when
monitoring
reductions,
goals
next
slide,
so
we
know
there's
climate
change.
We
know
we
need
to
do
something
about
it.
We
know
national
cares
wants
to
do
something
about
it
and
if
they
do,
then
it
can
actually
make
a
big
difference.
So
where
do
we
start
well
by
creating
this
greenhouse
gas
inventory
next
slide?
B
Doing
so
is
much
easier
said
than
done.
B
B
There
are
some
main
attributes
that
are
similar:
you've
got
walls,
you've
got
a
roof
you're
trying
to
protect
the
things
inside,
but
if
you're
looking
at
the
blueprint
of
a
skyscraper,
you
might
see
things
like
steel
framing
or
elevator
shoots
and
that
it's
really
hard
to
figure
out
how
to
build
a
shed
if
you're,
looking
at
all
that,
so
luckily,
with
enough
needed
enough
people
trying
to
build
sheds
and
or
trying
to
do
greenhouse
gas
inventories
for
smaller
cities,
a
solution
arose
next
slide.
B
B
B
Luckily,
some
organizations
have
created
tools
to
kind
of
help,
facilitate
the
process,
so
the
main
tools
we
used
were
igloos,
clear
path,
software
and
google
environmental
insights
explore
which
I'll
get
into
in
just
a
sec
here
next
slide.
B
So
google
eye
is
it's
new
and
it's
actually
it's
pretty
cool.
Google
just
came
out
with
it,
and
basically,
what
it
is
is
google
using
the
data
that
they
have
from
all
of
their
users,
whether
they're
driving
you
know
taking
that
activity
data
and
then
comparing
it
with
all
of
the
data
they
have
on
infrastructure
from
their
maps
and
kind
of
putting
all
that
together
and
calculating
through
modeling
what
they
believe
would
be
the
emissions.
B
The
bonus
to
this
is
that
it
integrates
perfectly
with
bigly's
clearpass.
You
don't
have
to
calculate
anything
or
put
in
the
numbers
it
just
kind
of
auto-populates.
B
The
downside
is
that
data
is
really
limited
to
emissions
just
from
transportation
into
some
buildings.
I
had
every
intention
of
going
to
the
website
to
so
you
guys
could
see
it
because
I
think
it's
really
cool
but
we'll
just
explore
a
little
bit
from
the
screenshots
that
I
took.
B
You
can
see
in
the
bottom
left,
it
has
the
city
boundaries
and
then
this
is
just
kind
of
the
overall
dashboard
you
see
has
its
estimates
of
the
building
emissions
transportation
emissions.
You
can
go
in
and
change
the
year
and
if
you
have
better
information
than
you
think
that
they
have,
you
can
change
some
of
the
different
factors
and
you
can
really
you
know
dive
pretty
deep.
You
can
look
at
inbound
traffic
outbound
traffic
within
the
boundary
traffic,
the
work.
So,
if
you're
interested
in
that,
I
encourage
you
to
play
around
with
it
more
later.
B
But
for
now
we'll
keep
cruising
next
slide.
B
What
this
is
is
essentially
an
online
software
platform,
but
it's
aligned
with
gpc,
which
we
referred
to
earlier,
and
their
reporting
requirements
for
completing
these
local
local
government
inventories.
It
is
also
the
most
widely
used
and
recognized
tool
amongst
local
governments.
So
that's
the
big
bonus
kind
of
a
no-brainer.
B
It's
got
a
long
history
of
credibility
and
and
recognition
for
being
sort
of
the
standard
next
slide.
So
you
can
see
I'm
kind
of
starting
big
picture
and
narrowing
down
on
it
getting
into
the
process.
The
process
overall
was
really
one
of
collaboration
and
data
collection,
but
what
that
looked
like
on
an
even
smaller
level,
I'll
tell
you
in
a
sec
next
slide.
B
B
Obviously,
we
ended
up
going
for
it
partially,
because
ickley
gave
it
a
really
strong
recommendation
and
partially
out
of
need,
but
I'll
talk
about
that
later,
so
we've
got
rolling
with
clearpath
sent
out
a
bunch
of
data
requests
to
really
best
contacts
we
could
come
up
with,
as
I'm
sure
you
all
can
imagine,
some
were
more
responsive
than
others.
Some
were
more
helpful
than
others.
B
Some
of
the
data
required
contacting
more
than
11
different
organizations
and
multiple
within
those
organizations.
So
it's
kind
of
a
long,
long
process
and
the
information
did
slowly
trickle
in
though
so
as
it
trickled
in.
I
compiled
it
all
into
called
the
master
data
worksheet,
which
is
essentially
a
glorified
spreadsheet.
B
So
here
we
are
we're
getting
to
it.
The
good
juicy
stuff
everybody
take
a
deep
breath
here.
It
goes
next
slide
the
2019
emissions,
so
here
they
are
broken
down
by
sector,
put
them
in
a
pie.
Chart
here,
so
you
kind
of
see
percentage
that
they
contribute
to
overall
emissions,
the
big
one
that
jumps
out
is
obviously
transportation.
B
One
thing
to
notice
that
I
just
want
to
point
out
is
that
transportation
is
not
broken
down
into
different
modes
of
transportation.
They
kind
of
just
clump
it
all
together
buildings,
however,
they
did
break
down
into
different
kinds
of
buildings.
So,
just
as
a
quick
side,
note
you'll
see
in
the
bottom
right.
B
You'll
see
this
in
a
bunch
of
the
graphs
and
infographics
in
this
presentation,
there's
a
little
bit
of
gray
text,
that's
sort
of
just
some
extra
insight
that
I
thought
might
be
helpful
for
understanding
what
you're
looking
at
so
for
this.
I
added
up
all
of
the
buildings
and
you'll
see
that
they
account
for
just
over
half
of
the
emissions,
so
a
little
bit
more
than
transportation.
B
Here's
that
same
information,
but
in
a
slightly
different
view.
This
has
actual
numbers
and
to
give
you
a
little
bit
more
context,
all
the
numbers
we're
looking
at
are
in
co2
equivalents.
So
this
is
an
inventory
of
all
the
you
know.
All
the
greenhouse
gases,
but
different
greenhouse
gases
have
different
global
warming
potentials
so
to
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
to
calculate
everything
we
just
kind
of
put
it
into
one
of
co2
equivalent.
So
these
all
these
numbers
are
in
metric
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
equivalents.
B
All
right.
Take
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
take
a
mental
snapshot
of
this
graph
because
we're
going
to
compare
it
to
the
2019
one
in
the
next
slide
ready
boom
so
see
there
is.
There
are
some
major
differences
and
if
you
didn't
remember,
that's
okay,
because
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
side-by-side
comparison
right
here
next
slide.
B
So
here
I
just
put
together
2012
versus
2019,
so
2012
is
in
blue
and
2019
is
in
orange,
so
just
kind
of
going
through
it
you'll
see
residential,
went
up
from
2012
to
2019
commercial
energy
emissions
are
down,
industrial
energy
is
way
down,
which
is
an
interesting
one.
Solid
waste
looks
like
it's
just
up.
A
tick
and
transportation
like
we
saw
before
is
also
up
a
bit
next
slide.
B
Here's
that
same
info
again
in
the
pie
charts
just
so
you
can
look
at
percentages
again,
similar
stuff
from
before.
So
you
see
from
2012
to
2019
transportation's
way
up,
industrial
is
way
down,
but
one
thing
I
thought
was
interesting,
even
though
it's
a
very
small
slice.
If
you
look
at
solid
waste
for
2012,
it
accounts
for
0.6
of
total
emissions,
but
then
in
2019
it's
doubled
to
1.2
percent.
It's
a
small
slice,
but
just
a
an
interesting
thing
that
I
thought
was
worth
pointing
out,
because
it's
not
obvious
in
that
next
slide.
B
B
So
next
slide
all
right
here
we
are
in
with
the
big
three
for
electricity
emissions
and
you'll
also
see
that
similar
light
gray
text
in
the
bottom
right
with
some
insight,
but
there's
an
addition
of
some
red
text
so
backing
up
and
talking
about
scope
of
the
project
a
little
bit.
B
Unfortunately,
it
was
outside
the
scope
of
this
project
to
figure
out
why
there
may
be
some
of
these
big
changes.
It's
a
big,
complex,
complicated
thing,
so
I
there's
no
way
I
can
definitively
say.
This
is
why
this
has
happened,
but
I
do
have
some
questions
about
it.
So
some
of
those
questions
about
potential
factors
you'll
see
here
in
red.
So
looking
at
the
left,
you
see
the
residential
went
up
a
little
bit
so
in
red.
B
You
see
I'm
wondering
if
population
increase
might
be
a
factor
for
that,
and
then
I
also
include
a
resource
to
something
that
might
have
a
little
bit
more
information
that
could
give
some
answers
this
one
being
ashford
housing
and
population
report
jumping
over
to
the
industrial
like
we
saw
major
major
reduction,
which
again
is
interesting,
especially
because
duke
actually
said
that
they've
seen
an
increase
in
industrial
customers
since
2012,
so
something
something
weird
is
going
on
there
next
slide.
B
So
I
was
wondering
you
know.
Why
would
this
have
happened?
What
could
be
some
potential
factors?
Could
it
be
regulations
that
occur
in
those
emissions
were
different
emissions
factors
used
to
calculate
those
emissions,
and
I
actually
just
last
night.
B
I
couldn't
help
but
do
a
little
bit
of
digging,
because
I
was
curious
and
I
found
out
a
little
bit
more
information
last
night.
So
if
you
have
more
questions
and
you're
interested,
ask
me
at
the
end,
but
for
now
we're
going
to
power
through
next
slide,
jumping
into
solid
waste
a
little
bit
well,
yeah
we'll
go
into
that
a
little
bit
next
slide.
B
Same
as
before,
2012's
in
blue
2019's
in
orange-
and
we
saw
that
the
earlier
the
contribution
to
overall
emissions
doubled
and
what
that
looks
like
in
actual
numbers
is
a
36
percent
increase
so
again
just
wondering
what
what
could
have
caused
that
could
it
be
construction
development,
that's
a
factor,
maybe
tourism
or
new
businesses.
I
know
those
all
kind
of
go
hand
in
hand
and
there's
a
resource
down
here
to
the
tda
tourism
reports
that
could
potentially
hold
some
insight
next
slide
and
last
but
not
least,
of
what
we're
diving
into.
B
We
have
transportation
and
mobile
sources,
so
there's
an
asterisk
asterisk
on
there
for
the
on-road
and
off-road
on-road,
because
this
was
by
far
strangely
enough,
one
of
the
hardest
pieces
of
data
to
get
so,
we
ended
up
using
the
google
eie
for
the
transportation
info
well
for
some
of
it
and
for
off-road,
like
I
mentioned
before,
we
did
include
airplanes
in
the
airport,
even
though
it's
outside
city
limits,
largely
because
they
did
in
2012,
and
I
wanted
to
compare
apples
to
apples.
So
let's
look
at
that
next
slide.
B
So
here's
the
numbers
you'll
see
there.
There
is
a
big
jump
up:
it's
a
26
increase
from
2012
to
2019,
and
originally
my
thought
was
well.
I
wonder
if,
if
that's
the
airport,
you
know,
I
know,
there's
been
a
big,
you
know
a
lot
more
activity
going
on
there
and
you
see
there
is
a
big
uptick
in
emissions
from
the
airport,
but
it
doesn't
account
for
nearly
as
much
as
the
transportation
sources
overall,
so
just
wondering
what
else
could
be
a
factor.
J
B
Next
slide
so
bringing
everything
together,
total
emissions
with
everything
added
together
2012
is
just
barely
less
than
2019.
It's
just
a
little
bit
more
than
one
percent
increase
from
2012
to
2019,
which
I
feel
like
isn't
too
bad.
Considering
there
was
an
eight
and
a
half
percent
population
increase
and
speaking
of
population.
B
So
kind
of
wrapping
it
up
bring
it
all
together.
Some
of
my
discoveries
throughout
this
process,
one
is
that
persistence
pays
off,
usually,
except
when
the
data
doesn't
exist,
or
at
least
not
necessarily
in
the
format
that
you
need
it
in.
In
which
case,
then
you
just
do
the
best
you
can
with
the
information
available,
and
ultimately,
this
produces
the
best
possible
results,
because
you're
using
the
best
information
available,
which
was
sort
of
tough
for
me
to
wrap
my
head
around
but
kind
of
had
to
accept.
B
It
also
learned
that
excel
is
not
nearly
as
scary
as
I've
always
thought
and
that
asheville
still
has
a
long
way
to
go.
But
doing
this
inventory
process
is
a
great
step
in
the
right
direction.
Next
slide.
B
B
Other
recommendations
include
utilizing
some
of
clearpath's
other
functions.
They
have
functions
for
monitoring
emissions
for
forecasting
future
emissions
and
then
forecasting
it
based
on
different
planning
scenarios,
which
I
think
could
really
give
some
good
insight
into
understanding
where
to
focus
energies
in
in
order
to
create
the
best
and
most
impact,
and
the
last
recommendation
is
that
sort
of
stated
by
the
ipcc,
which
is
a
big
picture
of
really
immediate,
rapid
and
large
scale
reductions
next
slide.
B
I
know
it's
different,
but
I
do
think
that
there's
some
good
overlap
next
slide,
but,
not
least,
if
you
are
interested
in
more
detailed
information,
the
numbers
emissions
factors
all
that
nitty-gritty
stuff.
There's
a
link
here
to
the
detailed
report
so
feel
free
to
dive
in
and
eat
your
heart
out.
Otherwise,
I'm
happy
to
take
questions.
If
we
have
time.
B
H
I
have
a
question
great
job.
That
was
wonderful.
I
I
I'm
curious
about
the
airplanes
and
so,
first
of
all
how
that's
measured
and
second
of
all,
I
just
got
a
text.
While
we
were
in
this
meeting
that
legion
air
is
expanding,
a
flight
to
key
west,
and
so
as
we
expand
and
have
more
and
more
flights
coming
in,
that's
not
helping
us,
but
how
do
they
measure
airplane
emissions?
Is
it?
Is
it
all
the
different
locations
and
the
entire
trips
of
planes
that
leave
the
asheville
airport.
B
That's
a
yeah,
that's
a
good
question,
yes
kind
of
essentially
the
way
that
ickley
recommends
doing.
It
is
basing
it
off
of
sort
of
a
combination
of
measuring
all
the
different
fuel
that
is
used
to
fill
up
the
different
planes
that
both
arrive
and
leave
from
the
city
of
asheville
airport,
and
then
it
kind
of
takes
that
and
goes
a
step
further
and
says.
Okay,
what
kind
of
planes
are
these
going
into,
because
different
planes
will
use
that
fuel
in
a
different
way,
releasing
different
kinds
of
missions?
Then
it
takes
into
consideration.
B
Are
they
you
know
cargo
planes?
Are
they
passenger
planes?
Are
they
big
big
passenger
planes
that
are
going
long
distances?
Are
they
just
little
prop
planes,
so
it
kind
of
takes
into
all
these
different
takes
into
consideration,
vegetative
factors,
but
but
it's
sort
of
mostly
based
on
fuel
consumption.
Does
that
answer
that
question.
H
C
I
do
david,
thank
you,
great
presentation,
really,
nice.
I
want
to
follow
up
on
your
comment
at
the
end
about
the
new
hat
that
you're
wearing
as
project
manager
for
the
blue
horizons
project
strategic
planning
committee,
that
is
focused
on
figuring
out
ways
to
get
our
community-wide
100
renewable
goal
achieved.
I
know
it's.
That's
was
first
announced
by
the
county,
but
the
the
city
is
on
record
in
its
resolution.
Supporting
that-
and
I
know
the
blue
horizons
project
is
supported
financially
in
part
by
by
the
city
as
well.
C
I
just
wondered,
I
know
it's
early
in
the
process,
especially
for
you
or
you've
just
signed
on
to
that,
but
if
you
have
any
thoughts
or
preliminary
comments
on
where
the
the
the
work
that
you've
done
here,
how
that
might
inform
where
the
focus
should
be
on
throughout
the
community,
on
on
reducing
greenhouse
greenhouse
gases
emissions
throughout-
and
I
was
taking
a
look
at
that-
you
know
the
pie
chart
where
transportation
is
half
the
emissions
and
you
know
commercial
buildings
are
like
a
quarter
and
residential
is
a
fifth
that
sort
of
thing.
B
B
I'm
hesitant
to
say
anything
definitively.
I
think
mostly
just
because
I
I
feel
like
my
role
in
that
process
is
bringing
together
lots
of
other
great
insight
and
people
who
know
probably
a
lot
more
than
I
do
about
the
subject.
B
So
I
don't
want
to
say
this
is
how
it
should
be
done
without
you
know,
getting
all
the
great
minds
together
and
trying
to
come
up
with
a
comprehensive
plan.
I
do
think,
however,
that
this
work
definitely
does
give
some
great
insight,
but
I
don't
necessarily
want
to
say
in
in
any
definitive
way.
Oh,
it
means
this.
B
So
sorry,
I
may
be
not
satisfying
your
question
to
the
extent
that
you
were
hoping,
but
I
feel
like
that's
as
much
as
I
can
give
it's.
A
I
had
a
quick
question
before
we
go
back
to
keith.
If
you
don't
mind
keith
about
that
huge
industrial
discrepancy,
we
look
at
the
electricity
emissions
for
industrial
I
mean,
could
that
have
anything
to
do
with
the
fact
that
our
that
duke
switched
over
to
natural
gas
in
between
2012
and
2019,
or
maybe
more
solar
usage?
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any.
You
know
hypotheses
david
on
that.
B
Yes,
I
think
that
yeah,
that's
a
great
great
question
and
great
insight.
I
was
thinking
the
exact
same
thing,
assuming
that
maybe
that
was
why,
because
of
the
transfer
from
the
coal
plant
to
natural
gas,
however,
right
after
I
was
thinking
about
that,
I
heard
from
one
of
duke's
representatives
that
and
he
was
basically
saying
that
they
didn't
shut
down
the
coal
plant
until
the
very
very
end
of
2019
and
then
slowly
brought
the
natural
gas
plant
into
production
throughout
the
beginning
of
2020
and
the
2019
in
through
beginning
2020.
B
and
then
also
just
thinking
about.
I
was
chatting
with
this
with
bridget
about
this
that
even
if
that
was
the
case
that
wouldn't
necessarily
account
for
that
huge
difference,
because
probably
that
would
just
go
into
the
emission
factors
as
opposed
to
direct
usage
and
then
emissions,
but,
like
I
said
I
did
do
a
little
bit
more
digging
and
I
have
pulled
up
here
right
here
and
man.
B
B
H
Sure
I'll
follow
up
on
steve's
question
and
I'm
curious
about
this
icky
clearpath
planning
scenario
situation
and
I'm
wondering
if,
if
you
will
still
have
access
to
that,
I
know
that's,
maybe
maybe
city
property,
I'm
not
sure
how
that
works.
But
it
seems,
like
the
planning
scenarios,
might
be
an
interesting
way
to
tease
out
some
different
ways
to
not
only
reduce
carbon.
But
you
could
then
also
within
those
identify
the
path
some
passwords
100
renewable.
We
used
to
have
access
to
those
and
and
is
that
something
that
you
might
consider
using.
B
That
is
a
very
good
question
and
thought
the
clearpath
yeah,
the
clearpath
software
is
the
property
of
the
city
of
asheville
it.
This
has
been
a
long
process
because
it's
taken
a
long
time
to
get
the
data
back,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
much
longer
that
membership
is
even
still
valid
for,
but
I
do
like
where
your
head
is
in
terms
of
potentially
trying
to
utilize
the
forecast
and
emissions
from
different
planning
scenarios
that
could
be
yeah.
I
think
you're
right.
I
think
that
could
be
a
potentially
good
tool.
B
A
F
Good
afternoon,
everyone
only
six
more
slides
of
presentation
for
you.
So
if
you
can
hang
in
there
with
me
again,
I'm
the
energy
program
coordinator
with
the
office
of
sustainability
for
the
city
of
asheville
and
just
want
to
give
dave
gordon
another
round
of
applause
and
thanks
for
all
of
his
work
on
putting
together
that
community
carbon
footprint
for
us.
It's.
I
think
he
underestimated
or
appeared
to
underestimate
the
work
and
the
grueling
task
of
trying
to
like
get
this
data
from
people
and
put
it
together.
F
It's
a
lot
more
time
consuming
than
I
think
anyone
would
think
about
when
they
look
at
those
beautiful
graphs
and
whatnot.
So
just
want
to
thank
him
for
his
time
and
his
effort.
F
So
I
just
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
pair
these
two
conversations
together
as
we're
looking
at
our
community-wide
omissions
to
turn
and
look
at
our
municipal.
So
if
you
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
just
put
in
a
little
background
for
those
members
of
stacy
who
are
new
to
this
group
and
also
for
the
members
of
public
that
are
listening
right
now.
A
little
background
on
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
so
city
council
first
established
a
carbon
reduction
goal
in
2007.
F
That
was
an
80
carbon
reduction
based
off
of
our
fy
2008
emissions,
which
would
get
us
80
of
the
way
there
by
2050,
and
then
in
2011
city
council
passed
the
following
resolution
in
accelerating
that
annual
target
to
a
four
percent
annual
reduction
for
five
years
to
then
be
revisited
and
reconsidered,
which
since
hasn't
happened.
But
if
we
do
meet
that
accelerated
time
rate,
we
would
get
that
80
reduction
by
2030
instead
of
2050..
F
So
moving
on
to
the
next
slide
shows
us
where
we've
been
and
where
we're
headed.
So
you
can
see
the
the
blue
line
at
the
top
is
our
baseline
emissions.
The
red
line
is
that
target
a
two
percent
reduction
a
year.
The
yellow
line
is
at
that
four
percent
target
per
year.
So
you
can.
It
appears
a
little
after
the
red
line
starts
because
that's
when
we
adopted
that
four
percent
accelerated
reduction
goal
and
then
you,
the
green
line,
is
our
actual
reductions
as
they've
tracked.
F
So
you
can
see
that
there
were
some
times
where
we
had
significantly
larger
savings
than
our
targets
and
sometimes
where
it
was
less
than
that,
and
those
big
dip
in
our
emissions
reductions
was
mainly
to
do
when
we
upgraded
our
outdoor
street
lighting
to
leds.
F
F
F
That
represents
a
significant
amount
of
carbon
emissions,
and
that
sector
has
actually
been
growing
as
we've
seen
more
city
employees
moving
further
away,
but
we'll
see
a
increase
in
emissions
for
the
covid
times
and
working
remotely.
So,
looking
forward
to
measuring
those
numbers
for
the
next
two
fiscal
years
so
moving
on,
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
few
to
think
about
this
kind
of
ebb
and
flow
that
we
see
as
our
city
grows.
F
We
continue
to
see
an
increase
in
our
emissions
right
so
as
we
pass
the
bond
projects
that
you
all
are
familiar
with.
One
of
the
pieces
of
that
was
adding.
You
know
outdoor
lighting
to
a
lot
of
our
parks
so
that
our
families
and
our
kids
could
enjoy
those,
especially
in
the
winter
when
it
gets
dark
so
early,
which
is
a
great
quality
of
life
thing
that
we
offer
for
our
residents,
but
also
has
carbon
emissions
associated
with
it.
F
But
on
a
good
note,
and
the
last
slide
that
you
need
to
look
at
is
kind
of
a
look
ahead
to
what's
coming,
which
again,
we
will
be
seeing
more
solar
power.
So
this
doesn't
include
the
solar
panels
that
were
installed
at
the
transit
station.
Those
didn't
come
online
until
october
of
2020,
and
so
those
will
be
included
in
the
fy
21
calculations.
F
We're
also
going
to
see
the
addition
of
solar
power
coming
on
through
the
aggregated
solar
project
that
we're
partnering
with
the
county
that's
being
installed
like
as
we
speak,
but
then
again
we're
also
going
to
see
a
continued
growth
of
our
emissions.
Right.
As
we
see
the
river
arts
district
greenway
come
online,
that's
a
pretty
significant
amount.
Outdoor
lighting,
you
know
we're
building
a
new
public
safety
station.
You
know
so
expanding
our
building
footprint
and
so
just
again,
keeping
in
mind
as
we
grow,
and
we
shrink
that
footprint
that
there's
a
relationship
there.
F
H
Lucky,
thank
you
very
much
bridget
for
everything
you
do.
As
always,
I'm
curious
about
the
commutes
and
the
fleet,
and
one
other
thing.
The.
H
If,
if
there
are
plans
to
address
commutes
or
incentivize
different
kinds
of
commutes,
and
if
there
are
plans-
and
I
know-
we've
talked
about
this
as
stacey
with
the
fleets-
if
you
have
any
more
insights
on
potential
plans
to
start
transitioning
the
fleets
to
have
more
renewable
energy
powering
them,
however,
that
may
be,
and
and
then
my
my
other
question-
is
about
greenhouse
gas
calculations
for
city
decisions.
That
I
think
was
in
one
of
the
resolutions
within
the
last
couple
of
years.
F
Commute
so
you
know,
in
the
past
pre-coveted
times
we
were
able
to
provide
some
flexible
working
schedule
based
on
the
discretion
of
your
department
director,
since
we
have
experienced
covet
and
that
has
encouraged
more
folks
to
explore
what
telecommuting
looks
like.
F
F
We,
you
know,
we
have
the
five
electric
buses.
Our
parking
services
has
expanded
their
electric
vehicle
inventory
and
we
continue
to
be
working
with
our
our
fleet
department
and
our
partners
all
over
the
city
on
how
to
consider
our
infrastructure
and
be
able
to
expand
that
in
a
smart
way
to
continue
that
electrification
of
our
fleet.
So
I
think
it
will
be.
F
You
know
it's
a
process
that
will
continue
to
unfold
and
we
are
really
excited
to
both
have
great
partners
within
the
city
to
work
on
that
with,
as
well
as
being
really
heavily
involved
in
the
duke
energy
electrification
pilot
and
what
they're
you
know,
what
they're
rolling
out
and
what
might
be
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
take
advantage
of.
So
I
think,
there's
more
to
come
as
that
continues
to
evolve
and
then
did
I
miss
a
question.
H
Thank
you
for
both
of
those.
The
last
question
was
in
one
of
the
last
resolutions.
I
believe
it
was
the
climate
emergency
resolution.
H
There
was,
and
I'm
not
sure
if
it
actually
made
it
in
there,
but
I
think
there
was
a
request
to
have
a
calculation,
a
greenhouse
gas
calculation
of
various
city
decisions,
and
I
think
that
was
something
that
needed
to
be
put
together
before
it
could
become
a
reality,
and
I'm
just
curious
if
there's
an
update
on
that.
If
that
has
evolved
or
if
that
got
put
on
hold
or
if
that
is
something
that
is
planned
to
be
worked
on
soon
or
if
that's
not
on
the
table
at
all.
F
So
we
do
include
our
carbon
emissions
information
as
part
of
our
you
know,
budget
summary
document,
so
that
that
is
available.
We
are
continuing
to
work
with
our
our
budget
team
and
our
capital
improvement
plan
to
look
for
ways
to
figure.
You
know
to
include
this
information
as
we're
going
forward,
but
I
would
say
we're
still
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
best
way
to
communicate
that
information
that
can
be
applied
equally
across
all
of
the
projects.
I
think
that's
can
be
a
bit
challenging
and
so
trying
to
find
a
simple
way
to
to
do.
C
I
did
remind
me
never
to
play
jeopardy
with
keith.
He
always
gets
that
hand
up.
I
had
a
couple
questions
actually
bridgette
the
slide
that
you
had
with
that
indicated
that
aging
facilities
were
a
contributing
factor
that
hampered
achievement
of
the
of
the
four
percent
annual
four
percent
goal.
What
what
facilities
are?
Are
those
how
how
big
a
factor
was
that
relative
to
the
other
problems
and
are
there?
F
So
what
I
will
say
is
that,
up
until
these
solar
panels
on
the
transit
station,
that
you've
looked
at
the
only
way
that
the
city
has
met
its
carbon
reduction
goal
has
been
through
energy
efficiency
and
through,
like
alternative
fuels
in
our
fleet.
But
it's
been
primarily
efficiency
efforts
in
our
buildings.
F
On
top
of
that,
our
average
building
age
is
1971,
and
so
we
have
quite
a
bit
of
work
to
do
in
that
space.
We
also
are
dealing
with
more
complex
issues.
You
know,
as
you
kind
of
dig
deeper,
so
we've
done
a
great
job
with
lighting
upgrades.
We've
done.
You
know
kind
of
that
low
hanging
fruit
on
like
simple
building
controls,
but
as
you
dig
deeper,
the
projects
get
more
complex.
F
They
also
become
more
based
off
of
occupants
right,
so
you
put
somebody
in
a
building.
They
don't
all
operate
it
the
same
way,
and
so
some
of
your
efficiency
calculations
and
savings
can
be
impacted
by
the
use
of
the
facility
and
and
how
it
it
can
be
used.
And
so
I
think
that's
where
you
know
we
have
to
dig
a
little
deeper
and
we
also
have
to
be
a
little
bit
more
conservative
with
some
of
those
energy
efficiency
savings
based
on
how
the
change
of
use
is
happening.
F
So
I
think
those
are
all
primary
factors
that
we're
dealing
with
on
on
the
regular.
C
C
So
in
effect
it
seems
to
me
that,
while
those
later
resolutions,
don't
speak
to
annual
reductions,
that
four
percent
isn't
going
to
cut
it
that
that
our
our
the
bar
has
been
raised
on
that
as
a
result
of
these
additional
resolution
later
resolutions-
and
I
am
I'm
guessing-
that
the
the
municipal
climate
action
plan-
that's
going
to
be
worked
on-
is
going
to
try
to
pull
all
these
together
and
give
a
sense
of
what
the
what
the
path
is
to
basically
getting
to.
C
F
C
F
Unfortunately,
the
contracting
process
takes
a
really
long
time,
surprisingly
or
not
so
we
are
have
not
kicked
off
the
official
project,
yet
we're
still
trying
to
cross
all
the
t's
and
dot
all
the
eyes
good.
A
All
right,
if
not,
we
will.
I
will
move
to
adjourn
the
meeting
if
there
are
no
objections
and
thank
you
all
so
much
for
participating
tonight
and
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
next
time.
