A
D
You,
oh
you
just
okay,
cool
David,.
B
A
And
you
can
know
Caitlin
Angela's
here
all
right,
okay,
I
guess.
So
today's
agenda
was
distributed
by
email
on
Friday
July
7th.
Are
there
any
objections
to
adopting
the
agenda
as
shown
on
the
hearing?
None
the
agenda
is
adopted.
The
meetings
for
the
June
13th
regular
meeting
are
included
in
the
packet.
Are
there
any
corrections.
A
A
B
D
Jeff,
if
I
may
yeah
thank
you
so
Joseph
speaking
as
a
member
of
the
public
and
former
commissioner
I
apologize.
If
this
is
on
anyone's
updates,
but
I
just
wanted
to
pass
along
that
I
got
an
invitation
from
Earth
Charter
Indiana.
They
have
their
climate
Leadership
Summit
Eight
coming
up,
so
we
were
encouraged
to
attend
that
last
year.
I
did
it
commissions
on
sustainability.
So
it's
neat
opportunity
to
talk
and
work
with
other
commissions,
so
just
wanted
to
pass
that
all
along
to
you
when.
D
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
go
into
report
from
acting
chair.
That's
me,
I
don't
have
a
report
report
from
Steph
liaison.
C
Okay,
so
I
don't
really
have
too
many
updates,
but
we're
still
working
on
the
because
neighborhood
grant.
B
C
And
we
are
really
hoping
to
have
that
in
place
by
next
month,
my
interns
working
on
it,
and
so
it's
mccailyn
Lynch,
so
I'm
hoping
next
meeting
I'll
have
actual
standard
operating
procedures
and
and
how
that's
going
to
play
out
for
everybody
same
thing
with
the
because
grant
program.
So
that's
a
grant
program
for
be
cost
members.
If
you
have
a
project
that
you
want
funded
there'll,
be
an
application
process
for
that.
B
C
So
we're
getting
all
of
that
in
place
and
I'll
hopefully
be
able
to
let
you
know
the
process
for
that
next
month.
I
also
wanted
to
remind
everybody
that
we
have
our
climate
ready
communities
survey.
It's
it's
live
now,
There's
the
link
to
it,
it's
to
gather
Community
input
for
climate
risks
and
vulnerabilities,
and
so
so
far
we've
got
about
50
people
who
have
completed
the
survey.
C
We
put
a
press
release
out
for
it,
so
we're
getting
some
feedback,
but
if
you
can
forward
that
link
to
your
organizations,
your
places
of
employment
I
would
really
appreciate
it.
We
want
as
much
Community
input
as
possible
for
that.
E
C
Just
like
on
their
own,
without
public
Community
involvement
in
2020.
okay.
So
this
is
the
first
thing
that
we're
getting
Community
input.
Okay,
so
we're
having
our
first
climate
risk
and
vulnerability,
Community
Workshop
in
July,
but
that's
invite
only
so
we'll
have
about
50
people
there
and
we'll
be
going
through
all
of.
C
Risks
and
vulnerabilities,
and
so
to
your
point,
I
know
that
there's
there's
a
lot
of
anxiety,
climate
anxiety
out
there,
and
so
this
is
one
way
where
people
can
fill
out
the
survey
and
let
us
know
how
they're
feeling
and
then
there's
a
place
in
the
survey
where
they
can
add
their
own
Commons.
If
there's
anything,
that's
missing.
C
C
Earth
Mama
kind
of
just
your
initial.
What
you've
learned
so
far
sure
so
we
have
been
in
talks
with
Earth
Mama
compost,
they're
a
company
out
of
Indy
they're,
a
pretty
large
company
they've
got
contracts
with
the
city
of
Indianapolis
scienceville.
They
take
care
of
all
of
the
compost
at
IUPUI
and
Butler,
and
so
we're
hoping
that
they'll
be
able
to
come
down
here
and
start
operations.
C
E
E
They
do
that
on
their
website,
that
you
can
come
get
a
bucket
of
soil
or
whatever,
and
once
it's
turned
over,
so
it
would
be
ideal
to
have
it
situated
here,
Bloomington
right
once
again,
so
what's
that
incentive
for
residents
to
compost
for
them
compared
to
like
doing
it,
residentially,
if
that
makes
sense,
since
they
can't
get
like
their
own
benefit,
so
to
say
out
of
it
yeah
does
that
make
sense.
The
benefit
is
that
there
are
residents
that
won't
do
their
own
compost.
C
B
H
E
H
B
H
E
G
C
To
keep
it
within
the
community,
yeah
really
good
things
to
think
about,
keep
in
mind
so
we're
in
the
initial
phases.
So
it
it's
going
to
be
a
process
to
figure
out
all
the
logistics
and
what's
interesting
compost,
but
we
definitely
want
to
keep
the
momentum
going
and
get
something
in
place
as
soon
as
possible.
A
Any
more
questions
for
Sean,
okay,
I'm
gonna
tack
on
to
under
staff
liaison
and
I'd,
like
our
new
members
to
introduce
themselves,
and
maybe
just
say
a
little
bit
about
your
background.
Heidi
right.
Do
you
want
to
yeah
okay.
H
Yeah,
okay,
darling
I,
have
lived
in
Bloomington
I
lived
in
Bloomington
previously
in
2015
for
a
year,
came
back
and
I've
been
here
for
a
year
and
a
half
and
I'm
like
a
long-term
resident
own,
a
house
and
like
near
the
YMCA
I,
have
two
young
kids,
so
I'm
really
interested
in
investing
in
the
community,
and
you
know
making
sure
that
it's
sustainable
for
my
kids
specifically,
but
for
everybody
I
had
a
small
business
that
was
focused
on
like
developing
kind
of
sustainable
living.
H
Personally,
that's
sort
of
defunct
I've
like
turned
it
off
for
now,
but
I.
Also
work
for,
like
I,
am
a
product
manager
for
a
technology
company
that
focuses
on
the
circular
economy,
so
reselling
items
so
kind
of
different
different.
J
Thank
you,
that's
just
Dennis,
so
for
me,
I've
been
already
going
to
be
in
Indiana
for
eight
years.
I'm
originally
from
Austin,
Texas
and
I've,
been
involved
more
in
the
non-profit
world
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
I've
released
in
the
nonprofit
world
is
that
we
don't
really
bring
up
topics
about
the
environment,
especially
within
Latino
communities
and
I.
Think
that
that's
something
that
we
really
need
to
work
on.
We
need
to
incorporate
that
because
the
environment
impacts
so
much
of
our
lives.
I'm.
J
Currently,
a
PhD
student
at
O'neill,
I
study,
environmental
health
and
I'm
really
interested
in
seeing
how
we
can
make
sustainability
more
Equitable,
but
also
accessible
to
everyone.
I
think.
That's
really
important
and
yeah
I'm
excited
to
see
what
we
can
do
together
and
nice
to
meet
you
all
of
you.
Okay,
thank.
K
Hello
y'all
all
come
on
screen
here
for
this
good
to
see
you
all
I'm,
sorry,
I
couldn't
be
there
in
person.
Can
you
hear
me
all
right.
B
K
Great
well,
as
you
all
may
know,
at
work,
Council
recess
right
now
in
July
and
so
I'm
actually
out
of
town
at
the
moment,
but
happy
I
can
be
with
you
tonight.
First,
just
welcome
to
the
new
folks
glad
to
have
the
instructions
there.
My
name
is
Matt
Flaherty
I'm,
a
at
large
city
council
member
and
a
member
of
the
the
fecos.
K
We
have
one
Council
representative
to
the
MD
cost
and
I
also
was
a
former
member
of
because
prior
to
serving
as
the
city
council,
member,
so
have
that's
been
involved
in
the
commission
for
a
while
I
also
work
in
climate
and
energy
policy
professionally,
and
have
a
lot
of
passion
for
what
y'all
are
doing
here
and
what
we're
doing.
K
I
wanted
to
share
a
handful
of
updates,
I
guess:
first
I,
just
I'll
Echo,
a
plug
for
what
Joseph
shared,
which
is
the
current
Leadership
Summit
Eight,
coming
up
in
early
September
I've
attended
a
couple
of
these
before
Earth's
Rodney
and
does
a
really
great
job,
I
think
it's
in
Gary
this
year,
so
a
little
bit
of
a
haul
but
good
good
conference
with
Indiana
Focus.
All
the
same.
K
Second
update
I've
shared
previously
that
the
council's
special
committee
on
Council
processes,
one
of
the
things
we're
taking
up
this
year,
is
Oregon.
Commissioner
reform.
Looking
at
among.
J
K
Things
10
recommendations
that
were
finalizing
a
report
from
the
Novak
Consulting
Group.
It
was
an
organizational
assessment
essentially
of
the
cities,
boards
and
commissions
across
the
gamut
we
have
something
like
45
or
so,
some
of
which
are
statutory
feels,
many
of
which
are
advisory
organization
or
commissions
like
like,
because
and
so
we're.
Looking
at
those
recommendations,
we
really
just
had
a
couple
of
scoping
meetings
to
get
that
set
up
and
start
talking
through
our
initial
impressions
of
the
recommendations.
K
As
as
four
committee
members
council
members
making
up
that
committee,
we
had
council
member
Dave
Brawley,
decide
to
step
down
from
that
committee
and
council
member
Steve
Bowman,
so
I
could
step
out
to
replace
him
that
all
happened
in
early
June
and
between
people's
schedules.
We
just
weren't
able
to
reschedule
so
we're
kind
of
in
August
after
the
council
recess
and
sober
and
and
take
on
that
work.
K
It's
particular
particularly
relevant
a
because
B,
costumes
and
commission,
of
course,
but
B,
because
one
of
the
10
recommendations
in
that
report
was
to
consider
the
the
combined
combining
the
environmental
commission
and
the
this
commission.
The
commission
on
sustainability
and
I
think
it's
well
recognized
among
the
committee.
J
K
K
That
in
in
some
way
in
the
future,
we'll
probably
get
through
kind
of
a
full
rundown
of
the
report's
recommendations
before
we
zero
in
our
particular
ones.
And
when
we
do
and
we
focus
on
what
it
might
look
like
to
consider
repeat
costs
and
in
our
health
Mission.
Combining.
K
With
the
pros
and
cons
would
be
that
sort
of
thing
we'll
be
reaching
out
and
inviting
URLs
input,
specifically
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
where
we
are
on
that
and
and
late
this
summer
or.
K
Or
specific
opportunities
to
engage
on
that
another
update
I
had
shared
last
month
was
the
council
was
considering
increasing
sanitation
fees
for
city
of
Bloomington
sanitation
and
that
reflects
Rising
costs
that
have
now
outstripped
what
what
the
Mac
Max
allowed
fees
are
for
collection.
We
have
a
sort
of
tiered
system
with
three
different
cart
sizes.
K
If
you
get
Sanitation
Services
you're
familiar
with
that
of
course-
and
so
it's
at
least
at
some
level,
it
can
incentivize
reduced
waste,
though
true
pay,
as
you
throw
model,
might
further
that
initiative,
but
the
other
factor
with
sanitation
fee
specifically,
is
that
we
can
put
about
a
million
dollars
from
the
general
fund
into
reducing
those
rates,
subsidizing
that
rates
essentially,
so
the
rates
don't
cover
the
costs
of
the
service
and
I.
B
K
B
K
The
folks
who
are
not
benefiting
from
that
substitute
they're,
probably
contribute
to
are
disproportionately
people
of
color
are
render
slower
from
folks
in
our
community.
So.
K
That
there
hasn't
been
at
all
alignment
on
the
council
about
exactly
how
to
do
that,
but
I
think
we
got
closer
to
that
in
Junes.
We
ultimately
voted
down
the
ordinance
that
the
administration
had
brought
looking
at
fee
increases,
but
I
think
we
might
have
alignment
of
a
majority
of
us
to
phase
out
that
subsidy
gradually
over
time
to
avoid
any
sort
of
great
shock
and
I'll.
K
Just
mention,
too
that
we
also
have
a
fairly
robots
to
payment
assistance
plan
for
City,
limiting
utilities
for
folks
who
may
have
challenges
paying
bills
and
tragedies
are
included
as
part
of
that
that
service,
so
I
would
invite
you
know
feedback
on
that
tonight
or
or
offline.
If
folks
have
particular.
K
Things
to
mention
one
is:
we
had
the
Walnut
and
college
Corridor
Scotty
underway.
This
is
a
pretty
significant
undertaking,
we're
talking
about
a
reimagining
Wildlife
power
experience
from
really.
K
Street
Greenway
crosses
all
the
way
up
to
the
bypass,
and
this
has
been
recommended
by
our
transportation
plan
and
the
goal
is
to
see
if
we
can
help
achieve
more
of
our
city
goals
in
the
department
store
transportation
system,
and
that
includes
I
would
say
climate
resilience,
so
not
just
in
terms
of
encouraging
stable
modes
of
transportation,
but
also
looking
at
things
like
stormwater
management,
heat
island
management
along.
You
know
those
corridors
so
encourage
folks
to
keep
an
eye
on
that
project.
Engage
with
it.
If
you
go
to
bloomington.in.gov.
K
College
and
Walnut
you
can
get
the
latest
on
it
or
a
series
of
public
meetings
in
early
June
and
then
I
think
within
the
next
month
or
a
few
months.
They'll
have
some
preliminary
design
options
coming
back
from
Harper
consultants
and
to
invite
more
feedback
and
public
engagement
and
that
sort
of
thing.
K
Also,
the
last
council
meeting
in
June,
the
council
unanimously
passed
a
resolutions
brought
by
council
member
Steve
Boland
at
resolution.
2310
and.
K
The
administration
and
Bloomington
Transit
to
look
into
the
possibility
of
a
circulator
shuttle
downtown,
be
an
electric
bus
at
help
connect
downtown
destinations.
So
you
can
dig
into
that
in
our
the
council's
packet.
If
you
go
to
the
council's
webpage
to
bloomington.in.gov
council
there's
a
meeting
to
documents
and
a
legislation
tab.
K
If
you
go
to
the
legislation
tab,
you
could
pull
up
resolution
2310
and
see
council,
member
Holdings
proposal
and
slides
so
I
would
say
it's
kind
of
been
a
research
phase
council's
expressed
interest
in
in
the
possibility
of
a
downtown
circulator
shuttle
to
connect
folks
and
asking
for
Bloomington
Transit
the
administration
to
look
at
it
more
closely.
K
One
last
update,
which
is
that
I
think
at
our
first
meeting
back
July
26th,
we
were
going
to
have
some
legislation
either
an
ordinance
or
resolution
actually
share
the
structure.
Yet
to
consider
what
the
council
would
like
to
do
about
our
long-standing
goal
for
creating
safe
bicycle
pedestrian
infrastructure
that
connects
Miller
showers,
Park
on
the
north
side,
County
near
the
bypass
all
the
way
up
to
Bloomington
High
School
North.
This
has
been
called
for
in
a
variety
of
safe
plants.
K
For
many
years,
including
our
transportation
plan,
including
also
a
resolution
supported
by
V
costs
and
passed
by
the
council
in
2019,
brought
by
the
the
yes
Society
youth
for
environmental
sustainability,
Society
of
which
Jared
Alexander
former
commissioner,
was
a
part
asking
for
safe,
walking
and
biking
or
outside
Comfort,
walking
the
biking
routes
to
Bloomington
North
High
School
from
town.
So
this
has
been
something
we've
actually
appropriated
money
for
in
the
past
and
have
made
some
progress
on.
K
So,
if
you're
familiar
with
Cascades
Park
the
hill,
the
climbs
out
of
Cascade
Park
towards
the
golf
course,
it
has
a
multi-age
path
along
it.
More
recently,
there
have
been
updates
expanding
at
multi's
path
further
into
the
park
and
also
creating
an
accessible
Boardwalk
up
to
the
waterfall
feature
in
that
Park.
The
last
section
is
from
about
where
that
waterfall
feature
is
South
to
Miller
showers
Park
and
here's
where
it
gets
a
little
tricky,
because
space
is
limited
and
things
cost
a
lot
of
money.
K
And
there
was
a
pilot
during
the
pandemic
where
we
closed
the
road
to
vehicle
traffic
and
just
opened
it
to
the
pedestrians,
Vice
quests
other
other
micro
Mobility
users
for.
K
And
a
half
period
of
time
and
there's
a
really
positive
outcomes
in
terms
of
the
way
folks
interacted
with
and
use
the
park.
Most
very
few
of
our
Parks
have
roads
going
through
them.
Cascades
are
sort
of
unique
in
that
regard.
It's
you
know
a
function
of
its
historical
State,
Road
37
running
through
there.
So
anyway,
Scott
Robinson
had
the
planning
transportation
department
working
with
the
mayor's
office
has
brought
a.
J
K
Options
essentially
to
how
we
can
achieve
our
goals
and
actually
connecting
that
infrastructure.
Like
we've
said
we
were
going
to
for
a
long
time
what
the
options
are
and
the
three
basic
options
are
build.
A
A
New
multi-use
Path
along
that
stretch
shut
the
one
one
lane
of
vehicle
traffic
created
as
a
one-way
Road
through
there
and
then
create
use.
B
B
K
Third
option
would
be
to
close
that
section
of
the
road
to
vehicle
traffic,
notably
all
the
parking
assets
to
the
park,
would
remain
in
place
and
accessible.
If
not
the
right
to
close
from
to
the
full
stretch.
It
would
just
be
the
section
that's
new
that
can
now
see
what
access
the
park
from
the
northwest
or
the
Northeast.
In
that
case,
these
come
with
some
varying
trade-offs.
The
first
option
could
be
actually
building
something
separated
which
would
be
on
the
other
side
of
the
creek.
K
For
a
lot
of
it
has
some
there's
about
probably
about
four
million
dollars
and
has
some
potentially
negative
environmental
impacts
in
terms
of
the
erosion
and
trees
would
need
to
be
taken
out
to
fit
that
in
that
space.
K
The
one-way
a
street
option,
with
with
a
multi-stop,
is
kind
of
something
of
an
in-between,
and
the
street
closure
is
probably
to
vehicle
traffic
per
a
portion
of
the
road
is
probably
the
lowest
cost
option
and
maybe
highest
comfort
for
pedestrian
bicycle
users.
So
that's
what
we're
looking
at
I
thought.
You
all
may
find
that
interesting
for
a
variety
of
reasons
related
to
cost
Environmental,
Quality
and
sustainable
transportation
once
that
packet
comes
out
for
that
meeting,
which
will
be
in
a
I
guess:
Friday,
After,
Next
or
Friday.
K
After
this
one
there
will
be
memos
and
supporting
materials
from
the
administration
you
can
dig
into,
and
I
can
work
to
forward
that
to
you
all,
if
you're
interested
in
volume
up
or
again
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
offline,
if
you
have
specific
questions
or
or
feedback
on
it,
so
those
are
the
major
things
going
on
in
Council
that
are
I,
think
most
relevant
to
the
commission.
Happy
to
your
feedback
or
answer
questions.
A
Okay,
we're
gonna
move
on
to
reports
from
our
working
groups.
Just
trans
is
just
transition.
A
I
just
like
to
go
first
sure.
L
F
Oh
sure,
wait
just
the
first
one.
L
And
then
we're
also
working
to
promote
the
intersectional
collaboration
among
the
city,
stakeholders,
so
boards
and
commissions
Community
organizations-
and
you
know
all
of
their
stakeholders
as
it
aligns
with
the
just
transition
goals.
Those
who've
hurt.
You
know
been
on
the
commission
and
have
heard
about
what
just
transitions
is
working
on.
It's
pretty
broad.
L
It
is
literally
about
transitioning
to
a
more
sustainable
model
justly
so
we
look
at
a
lot
of
equity
concerns
and
nausea
has
kind
of
been
the
champion
of
that.
So
I'm
sure
she
could
do
a
Spiel,
but
this
year
we
want
to
work
on
figuring
out
where
those
intersections
are,
since
that's
really
the
heart
of
our
of
our
work
and
then
do
you
want
me
to
show
the
last
one
or
yeah
go
ahead?
L
Okay
and
then
the
final
one
is
to
collaborate
with
Summit,
Hill
and
other
Equitable
housing
opportunities,
as
well
as
City
staff
and
our
other
key
stakeholders
to
assess
affordable
housing
and
the
environment
of
housing
sustainability.
So
we
can
identify
opportunities
to
increase
housing
sustainability
as
well,
so
those
are
kind
of
the
three
overarching
goals
we
have
for
this
year.
Some
of
the
action-oriented
steps
you've
taken,
you
know
we
reached
out
to
Indiana
Geological
Survey
I
believe
they're
going
to
come
and
do
a
presentation
do
we
know
what
day.
L
From
Summit
Hill
Nate
from
Summit
House
coming
in
August,
so
that'll
align
with
our
third
goal.
But
then
we
also
have
the
Indiana
Geological
Survey
coming
at
some
point
as
well,
which
I
think
aligns
with
our
first
goal.
So
learning
a
lot
figuring.
L
Those
intersections
are
and
we're
a
two-person
strong
working
group
right
now
and
we'd
love
to
increase
that.
So,
if
any
of
the
new
members
have
a
particular
interest
in
sustainability
and
as
it
intersects
with
equity
and
Equitable
sustainability,
I
think
that's
a
great
place
for
you
to
come
and
join
us.
So
that's
the
report
from
us
yeah.
L
F
That
we
have
reached
out
to
the
contacts
we
received
from
Emma
at
Duke,
University
or
Duke
Energy,
and
we're
gonna
be
meeting
with
them
soon
and
we
hope
to
spur
a
real
collaborative
relationship
between
the
commission
and
Duke
Energy.
Who
is
our
local
electricity
provider?.
B
F
Yeah
yeah,
and
we
are
oh
yeah-
we've
also
reached
out
to
the
safe
cities
organization,
which
is
a
non-profit
that
works
towards
making
cities
in
the
U.S
safe
from
climate
change
and
they're,
closely
related
with
the
fossil
fuel
non-proliferation
treaty.
F
That
our
working
group
is
also
exploring
and
we're
going
to
be
meeting
with
her
soon
to
kind
of
just
talk
with
her
about
what
we
you
know
found
out
so
far
about
the
local
implications
regarding
a
just
transition
and
how
what
kind
of
resources
they
might
have
that
others
said
that
what's
worked
in
other
cities
based
especially
regard,
she
seemed
to
have
a
lot
of
resources
on
building
and
grid
electrification
and
like
fossil
fuel
storage,
types
of
facilities
and
just
all
kinds
of
butter,
yeah
kind
of
best
practices.
F
And
so
and
the
other
thing
is
me
possibly
along
with
Anne
or
even
just
on
our
own,
we're
hoping
to
put
together
a
presentation
at
some
point
for
the
commission,
maybe
not
next
month,
but
at
some
point
to
kind
of
talk.
Get
the
commission
talking
about
the
like
the
international
and
economic
forces
at
play
in
climate
change
transition
off
fossil
fuels,
because
some
of
those
may
not
be
as
well
known
to
everyone
on
the
commission
and
they're
really
critical.
F
That
kind
of
knowledge
is
really
critical
to
understanding
why
a
non-proliferation
treaty
is
essential.
Action
towards
you
know
reducing
and
meeting
our
climate
goals
so.
A
M
Yeah
so
I
think
all
of
you
should
have
got
an
email
from
me
within
the
last
24
hours
or
so
with
some
updates
there.
M
M
M
What
we
can
do
together
and
whichever
be
less
so
so
that
we
can
really
kind
of
focus
our
efforts
on
some
of
those
higher
priority
or
high,
more
better
aligned
organizations.
M
One
of
those
organizations
on
the
list
is
Earth
Charter,
Indiana,
so
appreciate,
Joe,
you
bringing
up
the
the
climate
Leadership
Summit,
because
that
sounds
like
a
great
opportunity
to
go
and
interact
with
that
organization,
but
also
with
other
organizations
that
are
going
to
be
there.
So
so
that
sounds
like
a
useful
worthwhile
event,
so
yeah.
So
so
right
now
we're
in
the
phase
of
trying
to
prioritize
those
organizations
and
try
to
you
know,
figure
out
who
points
of
contact
are
there.
M
So
if
anyone
here
has
contacts
in
any
of
the
organizations
that's
listed
on
the
spreadsheet,
please
feel
free
to
update
the
spreadsheet
with
that
information,
and
if
you
have
thoughts
about
you,
know,
I'm
familiar
with
what
this
organization
is
doing
and
they
are
definitely
aligned
with
with
our
mission,
you
know,
feel
free
to
adjust
that
priority
scale.
M
You
know
low
medium
high
is
sort
of
the
scale
we
have
right
now,
but
it's
really
meant
to
be
a
collaborative
document,
so
don't
be
shy
about
making
changes
to
it
and
once
that's
sort
of
in
place,
we'll
start
looking
into
reaching
out
looking
for
areas
where
we
can
collaborate
and
sort
of
finalizing
the
engagement
strategy.
M
I
also
sent
around
the
draft
text
of
that
engagement
strategy
and
so
identifying
some
of
those
top
collaborators
as
part
of
that
so
yeah
again,
whatever
you're
able
to
contribute
if
you've
got
a
few
minutes,
and
you
want
to
just
update
the
spreadsheet
or
give
a
couple
comments
on
the
document.
That
would
be
great
if
you're
really
excited
about.
What's
going
on,
you
want
to
be
more
deeply
involved.
M
Just
let
me
know
really
any
level
you
know
of
effort
that
you
want
to
give
works,
so
you
don't
have
to
sort
of
formally
join.
You
know
the
working
group
and
make
yourself
an
official
member
anyone's
welcome
to
to
join
in
and
again
we're
looking
for
organizations
that
have
overlapped
not
just
on
the
environmental
side,
but
the
other
aspects
of
remission
too,
which
is
that
social
Equity
that
equity
Equity
as.
E
We
did
not
meet
so
we
don't
have
any
updates.
Two
things
far
made
is
late.
September
I
just
signed
up
to
volunteer
for
that,
so
supporting
Farms,
Farm
Aid,
it's
it's,
they
get
rule
off
mortgage
center
and
then
we
had
our
first
at
our
Urban
Farm.
We
had
our
first
sighting
of
Jumping
World
last
night.
E
If
you
don't
know
what
that
is,
it's
a
it's
a
nasty
invasive
warm
out
of
Asia.
It
essentially
destroys
your
soil.
E
It
literally
consumes
all
the
minerals
nutrients,
and
so
your
plants
will
end
up
dying,
so
NC
Iris
just
updated
their
website
and
it
tells
you
how
to
deal
with
them.
You
basically
take
Mustard,
Seed
and
add
water
to
it
and
you
pour
it
into
the
ground
and
it
causes
all
the
worms
to
come
up
so
yeah
it's.
It
could
be
a
pretty
nasty
problem.
So
thanks
and
essentially.
E
But
it
moves
different
than
a
normal
worm
and
instead
of
it's
I
think
it's
called.
E
E
They
move
like
a
snake,
they're,
very,
very
wild.
N
E
A
Okay,
well,
I
think
that's
a
good
place
for
us
to
wrap
up
jumping
worms.
So
that
concludes
our
our
meeting.
I
Oh
wait:
could
we
news
report
from
Commissioners?
Oh,
could
I
I
wanted
to
just
mention?
Oh
new
business,
new
business,
okay,
yeah?
Oh,
go
ahead!
Okay,.
B
I
F
So,
oh
just
really
quickly,
I
wanted
to
introduce
myself
to
our
new
members,
Dennis
and
Heidi,
and-
and
let
you
guys
know-
I
also
have
a
business
background.
So
welcome
and
yeah
I
wanted
to
extend
an
invitation
for
you
to
join
and
you
as
well
but
I
know
you
mentioned
that
social
Equity.
Is
it
regards
to
social
sustainability
in
the
just
transition
working
group?
That
is
like
our
prime
directive?
F
So
we
would
definitely
welcome
anyone
who
wanted
to
join
our
working
group
at
this
point-
and
oh
so,
I
wanted
to
mention
that
the
Caps
commission,
which
is
another
city
commission,
that
I
sit
on
recently
passed
a
report,
an
alternative,
Public
Safety
Report
with
recommendations,
and
this
report
is
a
culmination
of
three
years
of
research
and
community
outreach
that
we
performed
with
key
stakeholders.
Yeah
caps
is
community
advisory
on
Public
Safety,
commission.
This
is
a
fairly
new
commission.
F
That's
been
around
just
a
couple
of
years
now
and
we
advise
the
city
on
how
it
might
improve
Public
Safety,
specifically
for
marginalized
people
in
our
community,
and
so
this
is
kind
of
this
report's
kind
of
a
big
deal
for
our
commission
and
and
so
our
recommendations.
They
relate
closely
to
the
because
purview,
especially
around
socioeconomic
sustainability,
but
also
it
has
implications
for
environmental
sustainability
and
so
next
month.
F
I
would
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
in
the
meeting
for
because
to
endorse
the
key
recommendation
in
that
report,
which
is
for
the
city
to
fund
a
feasibility
study
to
be
carried
out
by
a
qualified
firm
to
assess
the
creation
of
a
department
to
oversee
Community
safety,
and
that
would
include
the
creation
of
an
unarmed,
non-coercive
crisis
response
team
Community
responders.
You
may
have
heard
of
them
peer
responders
type
of
thing,
but
with
that
in
mind,
please
check
your
email
boxes
later
tonight
for
the
report
and
it's
fairly
long.
F
F
But
you
know
we
really
wanted
people
if
they
wanted
to
to
be
able
to
actually
read
people's
words
in
their
own
words
from
our
community
to
see
all
the
Outreach
we
did
and
but
the
part
with
the
recommendations
is
fairly
short
and
the
tie-in
with
the
commission
is
fairly
straightforward,
but
I'll
plan
to
address
that
as
well
directly
next
month
to
talk
about
the
tie-in
with
this
commission
yeah
so
but
check
your
inboxes
I
will
I'll
be
sending
out
the
report
tonight
and
that
gives
everyone
like
a
month
to
read
it,
and
you
know
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
if
you
have
any
questions
about
it
before
the
meeting
as
well.
F
So
but
yeah
any
questions
about
that.
Right
now,
planned
we'll
discuss
it
next
month.
After
everyone's
looked
at
the
report,
great.
A
G
As
John
and
I
work
in
my
TVs
and
LGB
goals,
charging
infrastructure,
all
that
kind
of
stuff
I,
don't
know
if
you're
familiar
with
nebby
the
national
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
program.
Indiana
is
currently
seeking
about
a
hundred
million
dollars
in
charging
infrastructure
grants
and
indot
is
hosting
their
first
public.
B
G
G
That's
just
there
to
bring
the
community
in
specifically
sustainability
organization,
sustainability,
oriented
people
to
come
in
and
receive
more
information
about
how
Indiana
is
going
to
implement
level
two
and
level
three
charging
stations
across
the
interstates
here
in
Indiana
and
bloomington's,
a
huge
component
on
that
as
we
do
have
60.
L
G
G
Like
I
said
those
meetings
are
twice
a
week,
Thursdays
and
Saturdays
all
throughout
the
state,
and
if
you
do
find
a
chance
to
come
up
to
Indianapolis
on
Thursday
from
6
to
7,
P.M
it'd
be
a
great
pleasure
to
have
you
know.
I
will
be
representing
greater
Indiana,
Clean
Cities.
So
for.
G
G
Important
yeah
so
level,
two
charger
is
like
what
you
see
like
in
homes
and
stuff,
like
that:
that's
like
ease
of
access,
use
of
off-peak
rates
to
charge
at
night,
so
your
electricity
cost
for
the
city
and
it's
just
a
lot
cheaper.
G
The
ones
you
see
the
charges
you
see
in
the
parking
garages
are
referred
to
like
DC,
fast
Chargers.
Those
are
essentially
meant
to
like
charge
your
vehicle
on
30
minutes,
depending
on
your
your
kilowatt
availability,
pretty
cool
technology,
very
cool
technology.
If
you
ask
myself-
and
it's
really
important
to
have
multiple
level-
two
and
level
three
Chargers
DC
fast
Chargers-
to
mitigate
ice
Vehicles,
which
is
internal
combustion,
gas
powered
engines,
diesel
powered
engines
to
really
increase
sustainable
mobility
and
sustainable
Transportation.
G
So
the
more
Chargers
we
have
more
cars,
more
Chargers,
more
cars.
That
means
they
can
shut
down
gas
station
and.
G
Chargers
so
yeah
just
wanted
to
fill
that
out
there
for
you
all
