Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
All
right
a
quorum
is
met.
Moving
on
next
on
the
agenda
to
introductions,
I
don't.
F
Linda
linda
thompson,
environmental
planner,
perfect,
susanna,
suzanna,
evans,
comfort,
commissioner.
A
Meredith
and
shelby
we're
doing
introductions
so
meredith.
If
you
want
to
go
first.
A
H
A
A
D
Perfect
moving
on
to
the
next
on
the
agenda
is
public
comment.
There's
a
limit
of
five
minutes
per.
A
Person
for
public
comment,
if
any
member
of
the
public
wishes
to
give
public
comment,
this.
A
Evening
they
can
raise
their
hand
or
type
in
the
chat
function
and
our
host
will
let
you.
A
E
Well,
not
really,
we
had
a
very
short
meeting.
Our
leader
was
off
for
family
business
and.
E
The
mia
her
last
name,
I
think,
is
williams,
is
the
iu
representative
and
she
talked
about
how.
E
And
instead
going
to
sponsoring
whole
areas
instead
and
groves,
I
think
they
will
call.
E
Them
and
so
the
university
is
still
working
on
that,
and
that
was
about
all
we
did
actually.
A
Seeing
none
we'll
move
on
to
the
monroe
county,
environmental
commission.
I
couldn't
actually
go.
A
To
this
meeting
this
month
I
had
a
conflicting
meeting,
but
from
the
agenda
there
wasn't
much.
A
Discussed
long-term
goals
for
the
commission,
but
once
I
find
out
from
the
minutes
what.
A
Those
goals
were
I'll,
let
you
know,
but
they
didn't
do
anything
formal
at
that
meeting.
A
A
Don,
do
you
have
a
report
for
them?
This
much
of
their
meeting
was.
C
Administrative
as
usual,
but
the
most
significant
thing
I
think,
was
the
I
would
say.
C
Was
that
they
are,
they
voted
on
whether
they
should
be
submitting
a
letter
to
the
city
council.
C
Anything
back
yet
I
asked
either
to
send
it
to
me
or
to
linda,
or
I
think
andrew.
A
And
if
you
get
that
don
feel
free
to
send
that
to
linda
and
myself,
I'd
like
to
look
at
it.
A
Possible
after
the
amendment
process,
once
we
go
through
what
we,
if
we
have
any
changes,
we
want
to.
A
A
Considerable,
but
if
there
are
other
options
we
can
do,
which
is
why
I
want
to
see
their
letter.
E
No
meetings
recently
and
I'll
get
you
the
minutes
of
the
last
meeting.
Once
I
get
them.
A
A
A
Out
to
you
guys-
or
I
can
give
a
report
on
at
our
next
meeting
about
what
happened
at
this
one.
A
But
yeah
there's
no
report
for
mpocac
this
month.
Yet
any
questions.
A
E
E
E
Research
project-
we
would
have
met
this
past
monday,
except
it
was
martin
luther
king
day.
So.
E
E
A
B
I
do
briefly,
we've
talked
about
this
site
before
so,
and
there
there's
no.
B
It's
located
where
the
current
brownstone
terrace
apartments
are.
B
And
the
plan
is
to
take
down
the
entire
brownstone
apartments,
brownstone.
B
Terrace
apartments
and
rebuild
the
standard,
and
when
we
talked
about
before
they
were
requesting
a.
B
Zoning
change
which
they
got
and
it's
now
zoned
for
student
housing.
So
what.
B
They
have
committed
to
affordable
housing
and
the
national
green
building
certification.
B
And
in
our
original
memo
we
asked
them
if
they
could
try
to
go
for
the
emerald.
B
They
were
asked
about
commercial
space
and,
according
to
the
petitioner
statement,
they
will.
B
So
that's
something
that
the
ecpc
will
discuss,
whether
they,
whether
you
want.
B
More
required
green
space
to
go
away
or
not,
and
they've
worked
they're
working.
B
Out
a
deal
with
the
bloomington
transit,
the
site
is
seven
and
a
quarter.
Acres.
B
So
it's
very
big
between
walnut
and
dunn
right
across
the
street,
from
terra
terra
trace.
B
Oh,
let's
see
here
they
are
planning
a
parking
garage
in
which
they
plan
to
have
some
electric.
B
Keep
looking
into
that
their
landscape
plan
that
they
submitted
recently.
B
B
Excuse
me,
I
also
had
a
question
in
there
on.
B
How
will
they
prove
to
us
to
the
city
and
to
the
ec
that
they
actually
got
their.
B
B
The
planning
committee,
but
basically
what
I've
said
tonight
is
the
same
thing.
I
said.
B
Previously,
I
just
wanted
to
remind
everybody
and
and
and
and
also
repeat
that
previously.
B
Linda,
I
have
one
quick
question
sure,
thanks
for
the
information
on
that,
do
you
know
any
of.
B
Not
everything
they're,
but
they
have
committed
to
not
having
their
own.
B
Of
that
of
that
conversation,
but
they're
working
with
transit
on
that
that
that's.
B
B
You're
welcome
any
other
questions
for
linda
on
on
the
standard.
Yes,
matt.
H
Sorry
is
there,
has
there
been
any
indication
of
whether.
H
They'll
be
able
to
preserve
the
tree
canopy
there
on
the
south
side.
B
Where
it
is,
they
have
no
real
good
reason
to
take
it
away
from
that
steep
slope.
That
kind
of.
B
Required
buffer
yard
there,
so
they
you
know
it
would
be
in
their
best
interest
to
keep
it.
C
What's
the
difference
question
I
have
is
so
they're
going
to
have
a
potentially
a
thousand.
C
Residents
exactly
and
the
president
occupancy
is
about
what
I
have
that
here
somewhere.
I.
C
How
that's
going
to
affect
wilmington,
transit,
etc?
Right,
currently,
there's
121
units
there.
B
So
yeah
it's
a
it's
a
large
increase
but
yeah
they're
and
that
you
know
they're.
B
Gonna
have
all
the
bike
parking
that
they're
required
they're
also
gonna
have
scooter
parking.
B
Yeah,
well,
we
can
talk
about
it.
Usually
the
usually
that's.
B
Frowned
upon
because
sideway
many
people
want.
B
Is
intended
to
be-
and
I
haven't
gotten
an
answer
to
that
yet,
however,
in
the
petitioner.
B
Statement
they
said
that
they
wanted
to
follow
all
the
udl
rules
unless
they
go
with
that.
B
Commercial
space
that
they
would
put
in
to
the
vegetated
buffer,
and
that
would
that
would
require.
B
I
Over
there,
a
number
of
times
on
my
dog
walks
and
the
current
apartment
complex,
there
has
many.
I
A
lot
of
parking
space
there's
very
little
green
space
on
that
location,
as
is
so,
I
think.
I
I
A
E
Happy
about
it
taking
away
buffer
space
so
there's
a
they
probably
don't
know
that
answer
yet.
I
I
Some
kind
of
ice
cream
or
treats
of
alcoholic
or
non-alcoholic
variety.
C
Terra
trace
across
the
street
from
there
dumb
question
is:
what
did
they
do
with
the
building.
C
B
That
yet,
but
one
of
the
standard
things
that
the
ec
puts
in
their
planned
commission.
B
Memos
is
a
request
to
reuse
or
recycle
all
the
construction
demolition
debris.
B
The
landfill
where
all
our
trash
goes
when
we
had
when
monroe
county
had
its
own
landfill.
B
There
was
a
municipal,
solid
waste,
landfill
and,
and
then
there
was
a
separate.
A
B
You
come
up
with
something
and
a
brief
update
on
a
previous
petition
that
ec
had
worked
on.
A
The
mcdole
business
center
petition
by
switchyard
park-
I
actually
spoke
at
the
planning.
A
Too
high,
so
I
spoke
against
that
it
passed
the
the
planning
commission
eventually
because.
A
But
you
can
I'll,
let
you
all
know
when
that
comes
up
on
the
city
council
agenda,
the
city.
A
Council,
as
you
may
know,
this
recent
past
year,
recently
instituted
or
the
year
before
recently.
A
Instituted
a
standing
committee
structure
so
now
before
it
goes
before
the
entire
city
council.
A
Council
that
once
I
know
where
it's
going
and
when
I'll,
let
you
all
know
any
questions
on
that.
A
All
right
thanks,
linda
appreciate
your
work
as
always.
Moving
on
to
the
next
item.
A
Amongst
the
members
to
determine
whether
or
not
there
were
any
amendments
or
changes.
A
A
While
we
go
through
the
process,
I
can
do
that
or,
if
linda
or
ben
feel
up
to
it.
A
A
A
Or
if
there's
a
small
typo
somewhere,
I
would
reserve
those
amendments
and
submit
them
yourself.
A
The
tentacle
and
have
people
work
out
the
formatting
on
their
own
time.
If
that
makes
sense.
A
So
through
the
executive
summary,
there
might
not
be
like.
I
said
many
technical.
A
Anyone
have
any
executive
summary
amendments
to
offer
for
the
draft
climate
action
plan.
F
Of
it
and
I
suggested
that
they
should
add,
increased
that
increased
stormwater
runoff
will.
F
Again,
on
page
10,
the
greenhouse
gas
reduction,
there
was
a
lot.
A
Okay,
good
catches
on
those
do
we
have
anyone
else
with
amendments
to
the
executive
summary.
A
Section
so
I'm
not
surprised
if
others
don't
as
well,
but
one
more
time
I'll.
A
A
Okay,
seeing
none
we'll
take
down
those
two
from
mike.
Thank
you
mike
for
your
work
on
that.
A
I
believe
do
we
have
any
amendments
on
the
transportation
section
of
this
report
to
offer.
B
This
is
the
one
I
had
a
question
about,
and
this
is
a
question
for
you
all.
J
Okay,
okay,
so
I
I.
C
I
agree
yeah
it's
to
me.
It's
more
of
a
biofuels
is
an
issue
for.
C
Bio
and
also
the
amount
of
energy
that
goes
into.
C
C
Impression
of
what
I
saw
in
the
literature,
including
my
text,.
C
A
Was
there,
was
there
a
lot
about
biofuels
in
there
linda
or
was
it
just
a
footnote
more
or
less.
A
A
Okay,
okay,
so
we'll
put
that
on
the
list
for
discussion.
I
remember
reading
through
this.
A
A
In
a
state
report,
more
so
than
a
local
government
report,
which
makes
me
like,
on
things
like.
A
A
Actually
making
that
happen
in
real
life,
but
I
didn't
have
many
technical
amendments.
A
These
action
items
that
they
do
have
are
a
hundred
percent
practical
to
enact
on
our
level.
A
I
I
can
also
envision
that
a
lot
of
senior
citizens
in
the
community.
C
Public
transit
after
the
the
ongoing
bruja
over
the
uniform
development
ordinance
and.
C
Plexus,
I
think
you
can
really
open.
I
can
another
large
can
of
worms.
C
C
Of
e-vehicles
and
it's
like
oh
we're,
going
to
just
go
to
bicycle,
walking
and.
A
Yeah,
I'm
I'm
going
back
through
this
section
now.
It's
I
read
it
so
long
ago.
H
H
H
A
A
A
H
The
h
section
where
they
were
talking
about
off-road
and
lawn
equipment.
H
Even
though
I
know
that
would
be
more
expensive
if
we
want
to
make
a.
H
Real
impact,
it
seems
like
this
section,
this
h
section
was
far
and
away
the
most
emissions.
B
Is
that
in
the
text,
or
is
that
in
the
the
list
in
the
back
is
in
the
text.
C
Are
they?
How
are
we
are
they
thinking
in
terms
of
how.
A
Showing
my
ignorance
under
the
what
you
can
do
section
on
the
last
page
of
this
section,
they.
A
Have
a
bullet
point
list
of
things
you
you
can
do
personally
to
offset
your
carbon
emissions.
A
E
I
have
something
like
that,
something
like
that
for
my
home
electricity,
it,
I
forget
the
name
of
the.
E
Company
but
they
are
replacing
or
not
replacing,
but
for
every
bit
of
electricity
that
I
buy.
E
They
guarantee
that
they
will
generate
that
much
by
solar
and
wind
somewhere
else.
C
C
C
Just
trusting
and
I'm
not
sure
that
this
is
an
appropriate
thing
to
to
be
in
essence,
selling.
C
I'm
I
would
strike
that
it
to
me.
It
goes
along
with
the.
A
Benefit
of
the
doubt
for
some
reason,
but
when
they
are
seemingly
to
me
proposing
it.
A
A
A
Seeing
any
so
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
section,
thank
you
to
everyone
for
their
input
on
that.
A
Moving
on
to
energy
and
the
built
environment,
do
we
have
any
amendments?
I
know
don
was
the
main.
A
One
working
on
this
section
did
you
have
much
to
change
in
there.
I
didn't
bring
up
my
notes,
so
I.
C
To
me,
there's
and
looking
at
what's
being
done
in
europe,
the
united
kingdom.
C
C
My
colleagues
pointed
out
that
he
went
to
cambridge
oxford
and
pointed
out
that
his
campus.
C
Sirbaum
we've
known
the
stir
bombs
for
since.
C
Been
upgraded
in
the
build
environment
and
new
construction
yeah,
that's
going
to
be
built.
C
To
modern
standards,
anyhow,
that's
my
take
on
it
and
I
I
don't
have
the
line
by
line.
B
My
notes
yeah,
I
don't
mean
to
be
rude,
but
we
only
have
this
zoo
meeting
until
7
30
for
some.
D
Or
we
can,
how
would
that
work
with
the
cats
recording
and
everything
linda?
That's
my
question.
B
B
I
guess
I
could
just
change
also,
but
anyway
I
just
I
thought
I'd
mention
that
we
might
have.
B
A
Because
we
do
have
to
go
over
just
a
few
of
the
election
items
today
per
the
handbook.
A
So,
let's
don
do
you
have
any
actual
amendments
to
offer.
A
C
Even
if
I
did
open,
I
won't
be
able
to
read
my
notes.
Okay,
so
what
I
would
recommend,
then,
is
we'll.
A
A
C
The
aspect
of
this
is
that
it,
it
potentially
is
a
major
job
creator.
Yeah,
that's
this
is
this.
A
Ability
of
some
of
the
plans
to
actually
be
enacted
unilaterally
by
the
city,
so
so
multiple.
A
Points
on
action
items
on
this
section
included
things
like
advocate
for
stronger
state
regulation.
A
A
To
enact
if
that
makes
any
sense,
but
that's
just
a
general
criticism
I
have
in
general
of.
A
Labeling
them
as
actual
substantive
items
to
move
on
to
that's
a
good
point.
We'll
move
on
to
our.
A
Next
section,
then,
which
is
local
food-
I
know
dave
was
working
on
this
section
dave
did
you
have.
A
Any
technical
amendments
for
local
food
wait
are
you?
Are
you
skipping
some
waste
management.
A
A
B
B
On
paper,
so
you
go
ahead
with
whatever
you're
doing.
Okay
dave
did
you
have
anything
for
local.
A
Food
and
don't
forget
to
if
you're,
not
unmuted,
no,
I
this
document
well,
especially
the
green.
E
E
E
Amendment,
okay:
does
anyone
else
have
anything
to
offer
for
the
local
food
section?
I
don't.
G
For
to
implement,
like
local
foods
and
city
managed
facilities
with
the
hospital.
E
E
E
B
Front
yard
and
rooftop
vegetable
gardens
and
edible
landscaping
and
foraging
and.
B
We
don't
have
any
prohibitions
for
that
now.
It's
like
they
grab
this
off
of
out
of
some
somebody.
B
E
A
B
About
other
cities,
I
mean
it's
kind
of
common
in
other
cities,
but
it
isn't
here.
E
Ever
complained
about
the
fences,
so
you're
perfectly
within
your
rights
to
do
that
and
you.
B
Can
grow
corn
in
your
front
yard
if
you
want
to
there's
a
family
up
in
the
neighborhood.
A
North
of
mine
that
has
her
house
surrounded
entirely
by
I
don't
it
can't
be
native.
Obviously,.
B
A
The
city
I'm
not
going
to
report
her
just
because
I
don't
want
to
well
there's
nothing
that
says.
C
Previous
house,
one
of
my
co-workers,
which
I
assume
linda,
would
know
they
had
corn.
A
Do
we
have
any
further
amendments
for
the
local
food
section
before
we.
A
Yeah,
that's
okay,
seeing
none
we'll
move
on.
I
think
this
might
be
the
last
section
before
we
move.
A
On
for
today,
depending
on
how
long
it
takes
obviously
like
I
said,
we
have
to
go
over
some.
A
Of
the
election
stuff
under
by
the
bylaws
to
do
so,
we
have
to
do
that
today,
but
we'll
move.
A
On
to
waste,
I
know
we
had
several
people
working
on
the
waste
section,
including
don
matt
and.
A
Bailey
who's-
not
here
this
evening,
do
you
guys
have
anything
to
add
for
waste
amendment
wise.
H
Yes,
and
no
I
mean
I,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
time
for
it.
I
did
want
to
praise.
H
But
then,
beyond
that,
the
only
thing
I
really
questioned
was
action.
D1.
C
I
concur
with
that.
The
reality
is
globally
virtually
yeah
whatever,
even
if
well
clean
plastic.
C
You
have
to
have
a
market,
you
have
to
our
county
waste
person
and
I
have
had.
H
Yeah,
I
also
kind
of
had
generic
criticism
about.
I
think
they
they
were
dreaming
on
a
couple
of.
H
C
Won't
let
us
do
that,
so
there's
a
lot
of
issues
that
have
to
be
done.
C
F
Did
it
have
a
did?
Did
it
discuss
the
idea
of
commercial
composting
with
large-scale
composting.
A
Oh,
I
I
can't
I
I'm
terrible
at
figuring
out
how
to
direct
people
to
find
it.
It's
under
gold,
wm1.
A
Are
part
of
the
waste
management
cycle
and
that
just
might
be
me
being
pessimistic.
But.
A
The
risk
of
people
getting
expired
food
is
that
really
a
realistic
goal
to
try
to
fight.
A
A
For
people,
but
when
I,
when
I
hear
food
bank
donations,
I
think
of
like
you
know,
taking.
A
A
A
This
will
be
the
last
I
section
we
go
over
this
evening.
I
recommend
that
everyone.
A
Water
and
wastewater
green
space,
health
and
safety
and
the
climate
economy
before
our
next
meeting.
A
To
generate
more
comments
on
those
sections
as
well
good
job
on
everyone
who
read
over
and.
A
A
The
city,
so
it's
a
good
way
to
get
our
voices
heard
and
technical
language,
even
though
it
may.
A
That
we
can
have
on
these
different
plans,
so
I
appreciate
everyone's
work
on
that.
Unfortunately,.
A
A
Wastewater,
so
if
there's
no
objection,
we
have
14
minutes
left
we'll
move
on
to
new
business.
A
For
those
who
may
not
be
aware,
the
environmental
commission
holds
elections
which.
A
Changed
it
this
month,
this
year,
to
be
held
them
in
february,
and
part
of
the
election
process
is.
A
From
individuals
who
watch
who
wish
to
seek
office
on
the
ec,
so
there's.
A
Commission
and
others-
and
the
chair
also
is
generally
responsible
for
providing
reports.
A
On
what
the
ec
does
to
the
city
as
a
whole,
so
to
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
A
If
I'm
ever
absent,
the
vice
chair
would
run
the
meetings
or,
if
the
chairs
are
absent,
the
vice.
A
Chair
run
the
meetings
as
well
as
represent
the
commission
at
events
that
the
chair
cannot
attend.
A
In
this
case
is
ben,
but
the
secretary
basically
serves
as
an
additional
backup
and
officer
to.
A
A
Take
on
that
role
to
volunteer
for
that
position,
so
they
basically
work
to
collect
nominations.
A
A
I'm
appointing
mike
litwin
matt
cauley
and
dave
parkhurst,
I'm
appointing
them
on
the.
A
A
When
we
hold
the
elections,
they'll
report,
what
nominations
there
are,
if
there's-
and
this.
A
Recap
the
procedure
at
the
next
meeting
we'll
have
the
elections.
The
nominating
committee
will.
A
List
what
for
us,
the
nominations
that
are
on
the
floor,
if
there's
more
than
one
nomination
for.
A
An
office
we'll
hold
a
secret
ballot,
melinda's
kitty
is
appearing
in
the
frame.
I
love
it.
A
A
A
To
take
under
that
limit,
and
it's
it's
a
pretty
straightforward
process
in
the
past.
A
A
A
A
A
Linda,
did
you
want
to
talk
about
the
ecohere's
discussion,
while
you're
giggling
to
yourself?
Yes,.
B
Sorry,
yes,
it
looks
like
we
will
not
be
able
to
hold
the
eco
hero,
competition.
B
And
ceremony
in
april,
as
we
typically
do
so,
I
had
proposed
moving
it
back.
H
H
H
Somewhat
physically
distant,
if
that
still
needs
to
be
a
thing,
I
think
we
should
shoot
for
it.
B
Okay,
cool,
I
I
agree.
I
was
very
sad
last
year
when
we
had
to
cancel
eagle
heroes,
but
this
entire.
A
Shenanigans
all
these
shenanigans
started
only
a
month
or
so
before.
We
actually
would.
A
Have
held
ec
lat
the
eco
heroes
last
year,
and
so
we
cancelled
and
I'm
fine
with,
I
I
feel.
A
Confident
in
that
decision
I
don't
want
to
plan
for
early
this
year
and
cancel
it.
A
Able
to
have
an
outdoors
event
where
we'll
be
able
to
socially
distance
and
if
not,
if
we're.
If
we.
A
A
A
A
C
A
Is
there
any
further
comment
on
eco
heroes
or
any
further
discussion
on
that.
A
She's
hungry
it's
almost
dinner
time.
I
have
a
dog
at
my
feet.
A
Up
how
to
continue
to
reduce
co2
after
covet
ends,
you
know
it's
down
right
now,
due
to
people.
A
Not
traveling
and
that
sort
of
thing
or
whether
or
not
we
should
do
it
at
all
and
just
focus
on.
A
Current
projects
and
future
projects
I'd
love
to
hear
people's
discussion,
the
only
one
I
don't.
A
Want
to
do
right
now
is
the
50th
anniversary.
If
we're
going
to
do
50th
anniversary
celebrations.
A
But
any
other
topics
I'm
more
than
open
to.
I
think
our
last
couple
letters
have
gotten
press.
A
We
actually
got
a
reply
letter
yesterday
to
our
environmental
justice
and
density
letters.
A
So
anything
that
can
increase.
A
Choosing
a
topic
until
our
february
meeting
since
we're
running
out
of
time.
Here
we
only.
A
Have
four
minutes
left,
but
I
want
people
to
be
thinking
over
the
next
month
about
potential.
A
Topics
that
come
up
in
their
mind
as
they
look
at
environmental
topics
in
bloomington,
okay,.
E
Seems
to
me
we
should
have
columns
when
somebody
has
a
real
interest
in
writing.
One
and.
A
A
I
will
start
writing
it
after
this
meeting.
All
right,
if
there's
no
objection
since.
A
I
won't
go
through
the
list.
I'll
just
ask:
do
any
commissioners
have
announcements
if.
A
You
do
just
raise
your
hand
and
we'll
just
go
through
dave.
Just
wanted
to
point
out
that.
E
Meetings
has
now
been
nominated
to
be
deputy
director
of
the
epa,
and
so
that
job
will.
A
Thank
you
dave.
Anyone
else
have
any
announcements
susannah.
Yes,
I
just
want
to
say
that
my
term
is.
I
Up
so
this
is
my
last
meeting
as
commissioner.
I
really
appreciate
the
time
that
we
spend
together.
I
And
I'll
see
you
in
august,
at
the
eco
heroes
party
out
in
the
park,
excellent.
Thank
you
for.
B
A
Having
an
author
in
the
room,
it
was
helpful.
Thank
you
so
much
any
further
announcements
from
don.
C
A
Whoever
appointed
you
just
to
let
them
know
hi
my
terms
up,
I'm
interested
in
surfing
again.
C
I
believe
I
was
appointed
by
the
the
council.
Would
I
contact
since
dave
rowell.
A
A
Any
further
announcements
from
commissioners,
as
we
close
the
meeting
I
I
did
send
around
the.
C
Mc
iris
meeting
and
I
do
really
feel
that
the
the
current
work
with
the
invasives.
A
Look
at
it
any
further
announcements.
Do
we
have
a
motion
to
adjourn
movement.
