A
Well,
this
meeting
Bloomington
Commission
of
sustainability.
A
This
is
our
April
regular
meeting
and
today
is
Tuesday
April
11th
2022
at
602
pm.
Well,
the
secretary.
Please
call
roll.

any

seeing

agenda
is
approved.
The
the
meeting
minutes
for
our
March
meeting
were
included
in
the
packet,
any
corrections
or
questions.
A
Hey
do
I
hear
a
motion
to
approve.
F
F
Growing
I
do
that
of
a
landscaping,
Cottage
Gardens,
and
things
like
that.
So
when
reviewing
the
documentation
of
what
I
used
and
advocacy
back
in
the
day,
the
people
all
task
force
report
I
knew
the
people,
many
of
them
who
produced
this.
It's
excellent
for
the
details
and
where
we
should
go
I
didn't
bring
all
of
my
pages
on
what
is
now
in
force
for
the
local
food
and
agriculture,
but
with
looking
over
the
sustainability
action
plan,
I
found
that
there's
a
lot
of
side
load
thinking
so
before
coming.
F
I
reviewed
the
water
and
there's
nothing
in
water.
That
includes
agriculture,
even
though
it
is
a
priority.
You
know
something:
that's
in
here.
I
was
one
of
the
founding
members
of
the
food
policy
Council,
and
before
that
the
Community
Orchard
involved
in
the
chicken
ordinance
modification.
Thank
you.
F
I
love
the
little
graphic
that
was
in
the
newspaper
the
day
after
that
meeting
went
until
about
midnight,
which
was
unusual
back
then
anyway.
I'll
get
to
the
point.
I'm
looking
through
here
I've
got
a
number
of
concerns
and
that
we
are
far
behind
in
seeing
what's
going
on
in
the
world
stage
and
what's
happening
to
the
dollar,
and
you
know
this
was
some
of
the
things
that
I
was
working
on
over
10
years
ago
and
wanting
to
see
more
change.
We've
lost
some
Community
Gardens.
F
F
We
don't
have
when
looking
through
here,
the
institutional
buying,
I,
don't
know
a
single
farmer
that
would
be
able
to
do
that.
Kind
of
quantity.
I'd
also
have
friends
in
the
restaurant
business,
good
friends
and
with
one
of
them
I'd
asked
him.
You
know
about
those
things
like
I
need
cheaper
prices
rather
than
what
you
know
our
local
Growers
can
produce.
F
Many
of
our
local
Brewers
are
on
things
like
Snap,
so
how
to
make
that
work,
I,
don't
know,
but
I'm
going
to
get
down
to
one
of
the
capital
f,
a
three
increase
and
stabilize
the
local
food
market.
There
is
a
strategy
of
a
three-3-a
increase
local
food
supply.
F
That's
something
I'm,
very
passionate
about
the
fa,
3-8-2
revised
zoning
ordinances
to
remove
barriers
to
Urban
agriculture
yard
and
rooftop
food
production,
edible
landscaping
and
foraging
examine
and
pursue
other
policy
levers
to
increase
food
production
within
the
city,
utilize
available
and
appropriate
Parks
and
Rec
lands
for
urban
farming
and
food
production.
That's
something
we
can
do
and
I'd
like
to
encourage
you
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
may
or
may
not
have
any
kind
of
pants
in
the
dirt.
F
Any
kind
of
you
know
activities
outside
of
here,
but
it's
there's
some
difficulties
and
we
have
land.
We
can
utilize
this
to.
Why
not
with
this
has
been
discussed
in
the
past.
Haven't
there
been
far
we
can
house,
our
home
ones,
give
them
some
some
set
up,
something
like
the
WPA
give
them
support,
give
them
a
purpose
and
there's
things
like
the
soil
bacteria.
That's
really
good
for
depression
and
such
so
there's
different
things
that
we
could
do.
There's
things
whenever
developing
housing
developments
a
lot
of
these,
because
I
have
clients
in
them.
F
One
of
them
is
getting
ready
to
sell
the
house
because
they
are
not
allowed
not
allowed
to
grow
food.
Okay.
This
is
very
typical,
so
this
has
to
do
with
planning,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that's
going
on
and
that
we
can
address,
but
that
may
not
be
included
in
here
so
I'd
like
to
be
a
resource
for
you
all.
If
you'd
like
to
talk
about
it
because
I've
got
some
knowledge,
I've
got
the
experience.
F
I've
lived
in
other
places,
so
I've
seen
some
of
the
things
that
have
worked
in
LA
I've
lived
in
Georgia
and
there's
there's
different
things
so
I'd
like
to
put
that
out
there
and
make
you
all
go
there.
Thank
you
good.
F
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
properties
that
we
can
do
that,
but
how
many
of
that,
when
working
to
change
that
we
were
the
first
city
in
the
state
to
get
UA
right,
so
you
know
yay
for
that.
So
that's
something
I'm
very
proud
of.
However,
whenever
we
developed
land
and
we
have
different
developments
like
Renwick,
like
Park
Ridge
even
later
that
they
do
not
allow
this.
So
you
need
to
look
at
that.
F
I
mean
I,
know
that
some
council
members,
like
Dave
haralo
I,
think
Andy
Ruff
were
working
very
hard
to
allow
any
food
production
which
they
allowed
in
the
backyard.
But
that
does
not
work
for
many
people
and
clotheslines,
but
that's
something
else
that
doesn't
fall
in
here.
F
They
were
able
to
get
closed
lines
approved
for
Renwick,
but
this
the
developers
of
Brunswick
developed
many
other
things
and
I,
was
hired
by
one
of
my
clients
to
look
through
this
document,
and
then
I
saw
how
many
others
it
affected
in
the
city
limits
and
also
like
not
really
wanting
to
Annex
some
of
the
areas
that
are
look
to
be
City.
But
those
are
agriculture.
I
remember
seeing
horses
there.
We
need
to
to
think
about
these
things,
because
you
know
you
want
to
have
farms
and
truck
things
in
well.
That's
carbon
emissions.
F
F
So
does
the
city
Planet
it's
it's
planning
approving
plans
for
housing
developments
that
do
not
allow
growing
of
food
of
whatever
Source.
They
could
put
any
kind
of
restrictions
on
it.
If
they
wanted
to
grow
food,
you
can
again
installing
an
espalier
orchard.
Okay,
so
there's
very
beautiful
ways
to
do
that.
So,
rather
than
looking
at
that,
they
just
said
nope.
No,
no
food
produced
production
in
there,
so
it's
the
housing
developments,
that's
what
would
be
improved
now.
Apartment
buildings
are
something
different,
but
that
is
a.
H
F
H
Two
questions:
I'm,
not
I,
don't
have
a
lot
of
experience.
This
sort
of
thing
the
day
there,
the
the
developers
is
the
homeowner
association
or
it's
a.
F
You
know
keep
in
track
and
usually
those
are
non-profits
there's
three
people
that
manage
it
and
who
knows
how
those
elections
go.
So
three
people
are
able
to
say
yes
or
no.
F
How
do
you
put
food
have
something
that's
edible
in
the
front
yard,
we're
going
to
have
more
shocks
coming
and
seeing
what's
going
on
with
the
dollar.
It
makes
me
it
Spurs
me
instead
of
being
out
planting,
you
know
waiting
for
fruit,
trees
to
arrive
and
the
strawberries
waiting
I'm
here,
because
I'm
concerned
about
our
city
and
it's
not
just
Trucking
things
in
and
making
sure
there's
food
access
we've
got
to
have
food
sovereignty.
We
have
to
have
a
speed
thing.
F
We
do
not
have
these
and
I
work
with
other
people
almost
15
years
ago
to
get
this
and
we
are
more
vulnerable
now
than
we
were
then,
and
it's
upstarting
to
me,
because
we
have
more
people,
we
have
more
children.
How
are
we
going
to
take
care
of
them?
How
can
we
take
care
of
ourselves?
We
need
to
empower
each
other
to
do
this.
H
H
I
guess
my
next
question
is
what,
and
this
is
not
a
rhetorical
question
at
all:
what
can
we
do
if
it's
currently
like
homeowner
rules
planning
and
such
what
is
our?
What
are
our
levels
we
can
pull
on
as
a
singular
Commission.
F
B
So
solar
went
through
similar
things
with
HOA
is
not
allowing
them
to
put
it
on
the
front
side
of
the
houses
and
I.
Don't
know,
I
completely
agree,
but
even
if
it's
south
facing
you
can't
put
on
the
front
side,
so
there
have
been
states
that
have
said
that
HOAs
cannot
restrict
the
placement
of
solar.
Oh
no,
so.
D
B
D
F
F
D
A
A
I
I,
don't
actually
I'm
a
local
resident.
Excuse
me
we're
just
curious
about
how
the
commission
operates.
I
thought
I
would
come
in
and
sit
down
and
just
listen
a
little
bit
tonight.
So
my
name
is
John
blackheader
I'm,
just
here
in
Bloomington,
so
yeah
I
used
to
I'm
a
landscape
architect
by
background
I.
A
We
currently
have
any
Sarah.
E
I
I
just
wanted
to
understand
a
little
more
about
what
kind
of
topics
you
all
cover.
I've
of
course
looked
at
it
online
and
so
yeah
I'm
just
here
to
listen
and
observe
so,
okay,
yeah.
A
Okay,
so
moving
on
to
report
from
acting
chair
that'd,
be
me:
I,
don't
have
so
moving
on
to
report
from
staff
liaison.
E
Yeah
another
welcome
to.
We
have
two
new
members
joining
us
today,
Alex
and
Justin,
and
then,
as
I
just
mentioned,
Sarah,
who
joined
last
meeting.
K
Sure
yeah
so
I
can
start
hi
everybody.
My
name
is
Justin
vassel,
it's
great
to
be
here
so
I've
been
a
Bloomington
resident
since
2013.
I
did
a
PhD
in
physics
here
graduated
in
2021
and
since
then,
I've
been
working
remotely
for
the
U.S,
Air,
Force
and
so
I
work
in
their
operational
Energy
Office,
where
one
of
the
things
that
we
look
at
doing
is
reducing
the
overall
energy
use
that
we
that
that
the
Air
Force
uses
to
actually
conduct
their
missions.
K
K
So
a
lot
of
my
background
comes
from
that
sort
of
emissions
side
of
things
back
when
I
was
a
grad
student
I
was
involved
with
the
graduate
student
government
and
during
my
time
there
we
were
also
doing
a
lot
of
work,
trying
to
convince
the
IU
Foundation
to
divest
the
endowment
from
from
fossil
fuel
companies
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
yeah
I
know
it's
been
a
long,
a
long
road
who
are
you
but
not.
D
L
Wonderful
hi,
my
name
is
Alex
Hicks
I
am
very
happy
to
be
here
today.
I.
My
background
comes
from
primarily
private
Corporation
sustainability
work.
For
the
past
three
years,
I've
worked
as
a
director
of
sustainability
for
an
e-commerce
organization,
called
caffeine
junkies,
where
they
seek
to
sustainably
with
zero
emissions
ship
and
produce
coffee,
both
here
in
the
states,
as
well
as
gaining
from
Costa
Rica
and
Tanzania
India,
all
that
kind
of
stuff
making
sure
that
what
we're
doing
has
zero
as
a
zero
carbon
footprint
and
everything's
sustainable
for
our
consumers.
L
Now
here
in
America,
but
Costa
Rica,
as
well
as
the
other
countries.
Currently,
an
MPA
student
over
at
IU
in
sustainability
really
wanted
to
join
this
commission
for
the
mere
purpose
of
helping
Bloomington
become
more
sustainable.
Much
like
we've
heard
from
public
comment.
It's
a
long
road,
even
though
Bloomington
is
one
of
the
Forefront
of
sustainability.
I
would
like
to
help
make
an
impact
to
make
this
city
as
best
as
it
can
be
so
very
happy
to
be
here
today.
D
J
State
of
Indiana's
Open
Door
law,
which
is
basically
rules
for
holding
commission
meetings
publicly
and
so
last
meeting.
I
know
we
had
a
lot
of
questions
specifically
surrounding
Quorum
and
so
I
had
a
few
answers
for
that.
One
Quorum
only
counts
for
the
number
of
attendees
that
are
attending
in
person,
so
I
wanted
to
clarify
that
no
I
do
not
count.
I
am
just
as
Steph
liaison
I'm,
not
a
member.
A
E
J
Almost
I'll
list,
no,
no
you're,
fine
yeah
any
other
questions
that
you
guys
have
clarification
wise.
That
I
can
take.
I
have
to
take
that
back
to
to
legal
and
get
more
more
information,
but
yeah.
So
for
Quorum.
Obviously,
a
majority
of
the
board
members.
We
have
14
seats.
So
as
long
as
we
have
seven
in
person,
we
can
hold
official
business
and
vote.
So
there's
questions
for
that.
There
was
also
a
lot
of
information
about
participation,
especially
hybrid
participation,
so
again
being
present
online
you'll.
J
You
don't
count
towards
Quorum
and
you
can't
participate
in
more
than
two
consecutive
meetings
remotely
or
more
than
50
percent
of
total
meetings
annually
remotely.
The
consequence,
for
that
is
the
third
meeting
consecutively
that
you
tend
to
remotely
you
technically
can't
participate
at
all
and
for
you
to
participate
remotely.
You
have
to
be
seen
and
heard
so
cameras
and
microphones
have
to
be
on
for
the
for
the
meeting.
J
All
of
those
things
just
kind
of
make
us
subject
to
any
of
the
consequences
associated
with
Open
Door
launch.
Should
anybody
kind
of
bring
that
to
our
attention
if
we
don't
follow
those
rules?
So,
apart
from
that.
J
C
J
Three
consecutively,
yeah
sure
I
covered.
J
There's
also
something
called
memoranda
which
was
apparently
new
to
literally
everybody
in
the
city.
So
it's
we're
for
every
meeting.
We
have
to
take
notes
that
are
not
meeting
minutes
that
are
just
very
casual
outline
of
what
happened
during
the
meeting
and
we
have
to
hold
on
to
those
and
retain
those
forever.
So
I'm
we'll
do
that
as
the
staff
liaison.
J
So
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
that,
but
that
is
being
added
to
the
vicos
folder
as
well.
Just
so
everybody's
aware
that
has
access
to
those
has
to
include
date,
time
place
and
then
it's
just
again
a
much
more
casual
version
of
meeting
minutes.
J
Okay,
now
somebody
just
has
to
do
it
and
okay
yeah
and
then
again,
if
anybody
has
any
other
questions
that
come
up,
feel
free
to
ask
them
or
let
me
know
and
I'll
try
to
get
some
more
clarification
and
then
the
other.
The
only
other
thing
is
for
notice
or
for
agendas
for
meetings.
Since
we
do
a
notice,
an
agenda
combined,
those
have
to
be
48
hours
in
advance
of
the
meeting.
J
So
since
ours
are
commission
meetings,
happen
on
Tuesdays,
I
have
to
start
posting
those
on
the
Friday
following
and
so
just
as
an
update
when
I
send
out
emails,
I'll
send
them
out
the
Monday.
You
know
prior
and
then
you'll
have
until
Friday.
That's
I
think
a
little
bit
earlier
than
we've
done
in
the
past,
but
just
as
an
update
on
a
timeline
there
all
good
there.
J
Third
and
final
reminder
that
we
currently
have
the
Earth
Day
Challenge
happening.
If
anybody
is
interested
in
participating
in
the
Bingo
challenge,
they're
super
cool
prizes
we
have
artwork
from
local
artists
and
the
again
big
grand
prize
is
winning
a
stay
at
the
Net
Zero
tiny
homes
in
South
Bend.
J
J
So
bike
to
Earth
day
is
going
to
be
our
first
annual,
we're
hosting
that
with
the
transportation
demand
manager
in
our
department,
we're
going
to
have
an
EV
ride
and
drive
food
trucks,
activities
for
kids
and
then
just
probably
close
to
20
vendors
there
to
talk
about
a
wide
variety
of
sustainability
and
alternative
transportation
options.
So
that'll
be
super
exciting.
That's
Saturday,
the
22nd
at
switch
yard
Park
from
one
to
five.
So
in
encourage
everybody's
attendance
there
and
then
two
things
to
just
briefly
touch
on
one.
J
This
is
going
to
be
updating
our
climate
risk
and
vulnerability
assessment.
This
year
with
our
McKinney
climate
fellow
over
the
summer
and
we're
going
to
be
working
on
putting
together
a
task
force
to
help
us
run
those
workshops
for
information
gathering.
We
were
really
focused
on
making
it
a
community-based
climate
risk
and
vulnerability
assessment
so
that
we
can
really
hone
in
on
things
that
are
very
specific
to
Bloomington
residents,
as
opposed
to
the
one
that
we
currently
have,
which
is
a
bit
more
General
to
Indiana
and
a
little
bit
to
Midwest.
J
But
not
necessarily,
you
know
Community
Based,
if
anybody's
interested
in
learning
more
about
that
task,
force
or
being
a
part
of
it.
Please
reach
out-
and
let
me
know,
I'll
probably
reach
back
out
to
you
guys
again
during
the
summer
when
we're
starting
that
and
then
lastly,
we
are
still
working
on
putting
together
a
climate
action
plan
dashboard.
So
it's
going
to
be
like
a
public-facing
dashboard
that
tracks
progress
on
our
climate
action
plan.
J
We've
been
working
on
that
for
a
little
while
now
so
hopefully,
by
the
end
of
this
year,
we'll
have
one
but
I
am
interested
in
hearing
people's
perspectives
that
are
interested
in
providing
feedback
on
what
they'd
like
to
see
either
as
a
resident
or
as
commission
members
which
you'd
like
to
see
a
dashboard
show.
J
J
J
The
one
announcement
that
he
did
have
is
that
from
Council
they
are
working
to
appropriate
funds
and
support
of
the
tech
center
investment
in
the
trades
District,
and
so
for
that
building
it's
going
to
be
lead
silver,
all
electric
have
solar
panels
and
a
green
roof
materials
for
that
can
be
found
in
the
council
packet
for
this
week
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
share
because
I
know
at
Council
tomorrow.
J
They
are
also
working
on
the
project
46
kickoff,
which,
if
anybody's
unfamiliar
with
that
mayor
Hamilton
along
with
Marilyn
up
from
Columbus
and
the
Nashville
Town
manager,
are
working
to
host
this
kind
of
regional
climate
collaboration
called
project
46.
That's
kind
of
like
an
Ode
to
the
state,
46
road
that
connects
the
Three
Counties.
J
They
are
working
to
establish
a
50
Cent
per
capita
fund
from
each
County
to
go
towards
in
enhancing
you
know,
climate
resiliency
across
the
counties
and
being
able
to
invest
in
more
climate
projects
again
really
focusing
on
Regional
collaboration.
So
that
will
also
be
a
part
of
council
tomorrow
and
that's
all
from
Matt.
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
right,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
reports
from
Commissioners
and
our
working
groups.
So
if
you
want
to
go
first,
Sean.
M
N
Yeah,
so
we
met
with
so
to
give
you
guys
in
background
I
have
also
my
research
associate
with
environmental
resilience,
Institute
and
I'm,
currently
on
a
grant
called
the
I
brought
this
up
last
meeting
the
EPA
environmental
justice
collaborative
problem-solving,
Cooperative
agreement
program,
Grant.
N
N
That
so
we
currently
have
a
project
with
keeping
it
keep:
Indianapolis
beautiful
and
the
environmental
resilience
Institute,
looking
at
establishing
Urban
trees
and
green
spaces,
and
also
collecting
some
sensor
data
for
heat
and
air
quality.
So
we've
already
written
a
grant
and
so
we're
looking
at
the
next
year's
opportunity,
so
building
a
proposal
for
2024.
N
Unfortunately,
the
deadline
for
this
year
was
I,
think
Friday
this
Friday
and
it's
a
really
Hefty
Grand.
So
we
talked
about
doing
a
collaborative
Grant
with
the
sustainability
commission,
the
environmental
resilience,
Institute
Urban,
green
infrastructure
working
group
and
then
canopy
Bloomington,
where
the
ERI
would
provide
the
heat
mapping
portion
and
then
canopy
would
provide
like
the
actual
installation
of
green
spaces
and
Urban
canopy.
N
N
H
N
M
D
A
H
M
H
N
Think
that
we
may
trees
would
just
be
like
one
wait.
It's
not.
We
would
possibly
pull
in
additional
burners
as
well
like
so
their
babies
like
some
green
or
gray
infrastructure
Solutions,
as
well
like,
like
he
or
cooling
shelters
or
like
water,
fountains
and
stuff
like
that,
and
so
it's
not
I,
wouldn't.
D
M
M
We
would
love
to
correlate
the
data
with
heat
index
temperatures
and
so
want
to
know
when
we
have
the
most
heat
related
illnesses.
What
that
temperature
is,
and
so
that
would
help
us
to
determine
when
cooling
centers
need
to
be
open
when
to
increase
education
Outreach
that
type
of
thing
so
hopefully
we'll
get
that
data.
Soon.
At
our
last
meeting,
we
had
Health
Net
to
give
a
presentation.
It's
a
local
nonprofit
organization
that
used
to
be
called
Volunteers
in
medicine.
M
So
they
let
us
know
how
they
provide
medical
services
to
unhoused
Residents,
and
so
we
talked,
and
we
we
decided
on
a
short-term
goal
for
us
to
work
together
would
be
to
create
an
informational
pamphlet
for
unhoused
residents.
To
let
them
know
what
heat
related
illnesses
are,
what
the
symptoms
are
in
the
list
of
medications
that
interfere
with
your
body's
temperature
to
cool
itself,
and
so
a
lot
of
that
information
is
not
out
there
presently,
and
so
we
we
felt
like
that
would
be
a
good
first
start.
N
A
You,
of
course,
just
transition
Caitlyn.
Did
you
wanna.
O
I
can
do
a
quick
report.
Yeah
nausea
is
obviously
working
an
event.
I
think
everyone
was
included
on
the
email
announcing
that
event
the
safety
for
all
event,
so
I
did
get
to
zoom
in
to
that.
It
started
at
five
o'clock
today
and
it
was
pretty
interesting
a
lot
of
what
the
just
transition
working
group
deals
with
kind
of
overlaps
a
little
bit.
O
Obviously
they're
safety
minded
and
we're
sustainability-minded,
but
really
looking
at
you
know,
the
data
of
what
groups
are
impacted,
the
most
by
you
know:
sustainability,
planning
and
they're
looking
at
the
safety
planning,
so
it
was
really
insightful
and
if
they
have
future
events,
I
would
encourage
anyone
here
to
to
join
those
if
they
can
I
missed
the
March
meeting,
so
I'm
not
really
sure
what
nodule
covered,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
we
were
able
to
meet
with
the
Summit
Hill
Community
Land
Trust
group.
D
O
It
was
a
really
cool
meeting
and
I
think
that
it
would
be
really
awesome
if
those
folks
had
time
to
come
and
maybe
maybe
just
share
a
little
bit
and
present
at
a
future,
be
cost
meeting.
If
there's
any
interest
here,
The
Summit,
Hill,
Community,
Land
Trust
is
going
to
be
some
land
that
the
city
owns.
I'm,
not
I
am
not
well
equipped
to
explain
all
the
ins
and
outs.
O
That's
why
I
suggest
that
we
have
a
representative
from
Summit
Hill
come
and
present,
but
essentially
the
city
owns
the
land,
but
the
structures
on
it
are
sold
as
affordable,
housing
and
individuals
actually
own.
That
house
they
own
any
improvements
that
are
made
any
Capital
planning
improvements
and
they
own
any
equity
in
the
property.
After
you
know
after
they
sell
it,
you
know,
let's
say
they
live
in
it
for
five
years.
O
Whatever
interest
is
gained,
they
would
be
able
to
take
that,
but
the
land
actually
the
city
retains
and
owns
always
and
then
the
home,
the
city
would
help
manage
the
resale
of
the
home
so
that
it
could
go
to
another
low-income
individual
for
a
first-time
home.
So
it's
just
it's
a
kind
of
interesting
model
and
I
think.
O
The
way
that
relates
to
sustainability
is
that
they're
building
this
neighborhood
to
be
all-electric,
so
electric
stoves
electric,
you
know
basically
all
electric
heating,
all
that
and
so
yeah
I,
just
I
found
it
to
be
a
really
insightful
presentation
and
if
any
of
the
other
working
groups
or
any
members
of
because
had
any
ideas,
I
know
Summit
Hill
was
talking
about.
Since
they
need
electric
appliances.
O
Maybe
there
could
be
some
sort
of
grant
program
or
program
for
to
help
low-income
folks
who
are
purchasing
these
houses,
get
those
you
know,
stoves
ovens
all
of
those
appliances,
electric
appliances
and
maybe
some
other
things
that
are
in
the
works.
They're
involved
in
a
lot
of
things,
but
I,
just
I
found
at
a
really
insightful
meeting.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
overlaps,
but
just
something
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up.
O
In
addition
to
that,
I've
been
working
on
trying
to
collect
a
little
bit
of
data,
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
impacted
different
groups
marginalized
groups
are,
and
as
we
kind
of
look
at
the
just
transitions
sustainability
model,
and
when
we
were
trying
to
do
that
is
to
try
to
figure
out
how
many
unhoused
people,
how
many
unhoused
fatalities
that
the
county
has.
O
This
is
not
data
that
the
coroner's
office
currently
collects
so
I've
arranged
a
meeting
with
the
corner
and
I'm
just
going
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
their
processes
and
what
data
is
recorded
to
see
what
the
barriers
of
Entry
might
be
for
them
to
start
collecting
that
you
know
so.
Yeah,
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
check
in
on
where
we're
at
some
questions
for
the
just
working
group.
B
No
updates
from
us
for
the
new
members
we
are
working
on.
Our
primary
is
creating
a
program
called
compost
captains.
There
are
plenty
of
folks
who
already
compost
and
we're
looking
for
people
in
neighborhoods
who
already
compost
to
be
willing
to
take
on
Neighbors
food
waste,
so
they
can
start
composting
it
themselves,
that's
the
basic
idea,
but
then
moving
up
where
people
get
educated
and
start
composting
their
own
with
the
eventual
idea
of
growing
their
own
food.
B
A
Just
us
yeah
that
leads
me
into
that.
So
these
are
three
three
working
groups
that
we
have
established
right
now.
You
guys
are
welcome
to
join
them.
You
don't
have
to
as
well,
but
this
is
just
a
way
to
Dive
Right
In
and
get
more.
A
Yeah
or
create
your
own,
if
there's
something
else,
we
established
these
they're
just
based
three
based
on
the
personal
interest
of
us
on
the
commission.
A
If
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
our
climate
action
plan
and
if
you
see
some
goals
that
you
feel
really
passionate
about,
feel
like
you
can
work
towards,
you
can
create
your
own
working
group.
You
can't
you
can
be
your
own
working
group
if
it's
just
you
as
well,
so
just
moving
forward.
That's
kind
of
an
update,
yeah,
John
I.
H
Thought
on
that,
with
a
lot
of
these
ideas,
a
lot
of
these
working
groups
and
kind
of
the
goals
and
whatnot
in
this
commission
sustainability
in
general,
a
lot
of
good
ideas
and
a
lot
of
like
okay.
Now
we
need
some
resources.
You
know.
M
H
K
G
Maybe
City
money
that's
allocated
for
something
along
the
same
lines.
Additionally,
for
the
new
members,
we
just
recently
adopted
the
the
un's
17
sdgs,
you
guys
both
familiar
fantastic.
G
We
are
trying
to
align
ourselves
our
projects
to
those
so
it'll
help
us
to
identify
these
grant
opportunities
by
if
you
have
ideas
or
if
you're
working
on
something
identifying
what
sdg
that
aligns
with
or
two
no
not
they're
able
to
go
into
that
later,
but
yeah,
if
you're
already
familiar
with
it
great,
but
we're
trying
to
to
apply
that
to
everything
that
we're
doing
now
and,
like
you
said
for
Grants
and
finding
other
resources.
G
L
Too,
apart
from
like
grants,
resource
allocation
in
general
has
that
been
a
topic
so.
G
M
G
L
L
Yeah
so
I
I
work
primarily
with
the
federal
government.
Finding
resources
for
cities
like
Bloomington
I,
specifically
work
for
the
City
of
Richmond
right
now,
finding
them
funding
grants,
loans,
small
little
seed,
fundings
from
the
IGA
iiga
Ira,
build
back
better
plan
to
enhance
their
sustainability
efforts,
climate
resiliency
and
everything
like
that,
and
it's
not
only
open
to
local
governments.
It
can
be
for
commissions
like
like
this,
who
need
Project
funding.
So
I
was
just
wondering
if
that
was
just
anything
you've.
Even
looked
at
before
I
know,
it's
a
monumental.
H
I've
been
here,
I
missed
two
months
and
I
think
still
like
I
might
as
well
be
with
these
guys.
I,
don't
have
a
good
sense
of
how
it
was
like
City
resources,
City
budget
there's.
Our
interests
can
be
like
petition
for
funds
to
do
stuff,
or
you
know,
there's
so
many
ways
to
beef
up
some
of
these
projects
with
resources,
and
if
not,
you
do
the
best
you
can,
and
it
makes
sense
and
I
just
don't
know
how
many
that
works
or
possibly
misses
or
that's
my
follow-up
question.
G
L
G
We
all
have
the
same
kind
of
issue:
there's
a
lot
of
resources
at
the
city,
a
lot
of
aligning
interests.
We
have
just
recently
discussed
socializing
with
other
Commissions
in
order
to
help
identify
common
efforts,
there's
also
a
program
I
believe
in
September
through
hand.
G
It's
the
I,
always
forget
what
it's
called,
but
it's
like
an
introduction
to
the
city,
all
the
Department's,
how
it
works,
I've
applied
for
it,
but
it's
a
little
bit
of
space
I
forward
you
the
the
link,
but
basically
it's
a
10-week
program
where
they
take
you
through
all
the
Departments
basically
shows
you
how
the
city
functions.
We
just
don't
know
we're,
not
we're
not
sure
what
we're
capable.
A
H
H
G
A
To
petition
the
city
for
their
resources,
that's
what
it
is!
It's
like
you
have
to
go
to
the
city
and
say
this
is
where
our
sdgs
are.
Our
climate
action
plan
aligns
with
the
city's
efforts
or
you
have
money
and
like
this
is
how
you
should
use
it,
but
a
lot
of
times.
That's
like
easier
said
than
done,
and
so
that's
why
we
like
look
to
these
outside
sources
for
funding.
B
E
E
J
A
B
Right
so
yeah
as
an
example
like
with
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
Waste
Management
we're
gonna
have
to
build
a
website,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
and
so
are
we
going
to
have
a
volunteer?
Do
that
there's
a
nice
student?
Or
can
we
get
some
funding
to
pay
a
professional
to
do
that,
but
we're
not
at
that
point.
G
C
C
G
So
that's
the
the
project
management
program
I'm
trying
to
develop
for
sustainability
is
gather
these
students
that
have
these
skills
are
interested
in
it
that
need
project
experience
to
get
their
certification
right.
The
PMP.
G
Any
work
that
they
do
with
us
counts
towards
their
hours.
So
that's
another
incentive,
but
the
primary
goal
is
to
get
them
to
help
us
with
the
sustainability
projects.
And
then
you
know
eventually
some
of
them
may
join
the
the
commission
but
yeah
I'm
still
in
the
early
stages
of
that
I'm
I
wanted
to
get
it
around
the
June
time
frame
for
a
soft
start,
yeah,
but
probably
by
the
Fall
for
for
the
hard
run
and
then
it'll
be
a
monthly
programmer
sure.
H
H
G
L
Them
to
do
that,
yeah
yeah,
and
it's
it's
a
lot
easier
to
do
out
like
in
these
small
beginning
stages.
It's
a
lot
easier!
If
you
ask
for
money
now
and
maybe
get
a
little
bit
of
money
and
show
progress
and
then
later
come
when
you
need
this
big
sum
fund
they'll
be
more
likely
to
give
you
that
fund,
showing
the
demonstration
of
your
project
so.
B
I
mean
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
the
projects
we
would
want
to
do.
We
don't
end
up
doing
because
we're
like,
where
is
the
money
going
to
come
from
versus
getting
a
little
bit
or
assuming
right
that
you're
going
to
get
the
money
or
act
as
if
you
already
have
the
money
moving
forward
in
that
in
that
space?.
L
D
D
J
To
go
towards
climate
action
plan,
implementation,
support,
sustainability,
et
cetera,
really
exciting.
Sustainability
officially
has
like
an
actual
budget,
and
so
we
have
allocated
a
certain
amount
of
that
to
the
potential
development
of
a
grant
program
for
the
commission
on
sustainability
to
support
ongoing
efforts,
potentially
any
other.
So
such
a
great
like
invite
and
vital
commission
as
well,
where
other
you
know,
departmental
projects
that
can
work
in
collaboration
with
the
commissions.
But
it
has
to
be
something
that's
in
support
of
the
climate
action
plan
or.
J
A
Okay,
great
discussion
I
appreciate
that
we're
going
to
move
on
to
discussions,
not
resolutions,
because
we
have
elections
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
that
done
so
I
will
go
through
and
just
tell
you
about
what
the
positions
are
and
I'll
read
the
little
description
and
then
we
can
discuss
interest
or
nominations.
A
Does
that
sound
good?
Okay?
So
there
is
it
the
chairperson
Vice,
chair
or
co-chairs,
and
then
secretary
and
Treasurer,
so
the
chairperson
is
responsible
for
preparing
the
agenda
for
all
meetings
presiding
over
all
meetings,
except
when
they
designate
the
vice
chairperson.
They
will
distribute
the
agenda
and
related
documents
in
less
than
48
hours
prior
to
the
scheduled
meeting
and
then
in
coordination
with
the
other
members
of
the
executive
committee
shall
be
responsible
for
organizing
and
submitting
the
annual
report.
A
So
all
of
these
positions
make
up
the
executive
Council
Vice
chair
serves
as
the
chairperson
in
the
absence
of
the
chairperson
and
shall
perform
all
those
duties.
A
A
Written
minutes
in
which
the
results
of
any
vote
are
recorded
and
when
appropriate,
specific
findings
of
facts
and
conclusions,
and
then
the
treasurer
will
facilitate
the
preparation
of
the
annual
budget
and
will
facilitate
efforts
of
commissioner
commission
members
to
identify
funding
sources,
and
we
will
need
to
vote
if
we
are
going
to
do
co-chairs
or
a
chairperson
and
a
vice
chair
make
sense.
So
currently
Dave
is
our
Treasurer
I'm
secretary
najla
who's.
Not
here
served
as
co-chair
and
Joe
who's.
No
longer
the
commission
was
the
other
co-chair.
A
Okay,
you
can
go
ahead
and
vote.
G
B
A
Fine
sure
I
accept
that
nomination
all
right
next,
okay,
so
on
I
think
we
have
to
do
a
Voice
vote.
Okay,
do
you.
H
G
Running
on
the
same
ticket,
well,
we'll
go
through
for
you.
First
all
right,
all
right,
so
call
for
verse
for
nominating
Emma.
As
the
chair
just
say:
I
Emma.
C
D
C
C
D
O
D
G
C
D
I
B
I
A
That,
as
of
right
now,
there's
there's
really
like
no
official
duties.
A
Okay,
so
shall.
G
We
do
a
Voice
vote
for
Alex
for.
A
Okay,
so
I
nominate
you
Hannah
to
be
secretary
I.
D
A
J
A
Next
thing
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up
was
we
the
city
of
Bloomington,
sent
out
an
email
about
the
partnership
with
Indianapolis
Zoo
I?
Don't
know
if
you
guys
all
saw
this
a
pilot
program
encourages
residents
to
reduce
invasive
and
undesirable
plants
on
their
properties
and
donate
them
to
the
zoo
for
animal
food.
The
city
will
facilitate
the
process
of
connecting
residents.
Who
would
like
to
donate
cut
vegetation
with
the
zoo,
zoo
staff
will
pick
up
donations
directly
from
Bloomington
residents.
A
I.
Think
that's
really
great.
Can
we
can
we
partner
with
the
zoo
for
a
compost
right?
They
also
included
a
list
of
some
of
these
undesirable
plants.
D
A
D
A
They
will
be
specific,
a
single
plant
species
will
be
assigned
for
each
pickup
date.
Okay,
so,
like
calorie
pair
will
be.
I
A
A
A
It's
to
encourage
the
removal
of
invasive
species
in
a
sustainable
way,
for
you
got
new
new
guys
we're
doing
this
thing
where
we're
meeting
after
each
meeting
as
a
very
informal
at.
What's
it
called
crazy.
E
A
Horse,
just
as
like
a
way
for
us
to
discuss
some
of
these
topics
even
more
and
not
an
official
like.
A
To
post
it
or
anything,
but
we're
gonna
do
that
informally
after
every
meeting.
If
you
can
come
great,
if
you
can't
not
a
problem,
but
just
so,
you
guys
are
aware:
there's
no
resolutions,
no
new
business.
Anyone
have
any
new
business
to
add.
Okay,.
D
O
Saw
the
announcement
of
it
and
I
thought
it
was
a
really
cool
program.
What
I
was
wondering
is:
is
there
any
this
I
think
is
a
staff
question
Michaela,
but
is
there
any
targeted
marketing
because
I
imagine
like
neighborhoods
with
high
levels
of
these
invasive
species
should
be
notified
for
these
pickup
days
like
if
we
could
Target
I,
think
that
would
increase
the
efficacy
of
the
program
a
lot
so.
D
C
O
I
H
J
Angela,
who
is
piloting
this
program
with
the
city,
has
collaboration
and
is
engaging
in
conversations
with
people
from
Parks
MC
IRS.
A
variety
of
organizations
in
the
community,
so
I
think
she's
doing
a
lot
of
Outreach
to
to
increase
awareness
and
also
make
sure
that
we're
bringing
in
groups
that
have
a
wide
range
of
expertise
on
the
topic
so
and.
G
There's
there's
a
the
the
environmental
commission
has
a
lot
of
people
working
on
this
that
have
been
doing
it
for
years.
They're
they're
a
good
resource,
basically
for
anything
having
to
do
with
that.
A
All
right,
our
next
meeting
is
May
9th
at
6
PM
Tuesday
here
do
I
see
a
motion
to
adjourn
I'm.
