Morning,
everybody
good
morning
morning,
good
to
see
you,
everyone,
sorry
I'm,
just
a
couple
minutes
late,
but
everybody's
here,
you
all
good
everybody
good
to
go.
We
are
yes
thank
you
for
Gathering,
albeit
virtually
I.
Guess
it's
convenient
sometimes
to
do
that,
hopefully,
for
everyone
and
Janice
is
with
us
here
today,
I
think
from
afar,
so
that
made
it
convenient
for
for
for
you,
thank
you
for
being
with
us.
I
wanted
to
welcome
councilmember,
Greg
who's
new
to
our
committee
in
that
right,
council
member.
This
is.
D
C
E
Okay,
good
morning
or
almost
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name
is
Diamond
Curry
I'm
replacing
what
was
Bailey
been
said
and
Scott
bar
height
for
the
Charleston
Metro
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
sit
on
this
advisory
committee.
So
thank
you
for
having
me
before.
I
was
with
the
Charleston
Metro
chamber.
I
spent
some
time
with
Charleston
County
in
their
Housing
Department.
C
F
Good
morning,
I'm
Stuart
Weinberg
I'm,
the
Community
member
of
the
committee,
and
have
worked
with
the
city
and
the
development
of
our
climate
action
plan
and
other
things
that
that
have
happened,
and
we
are
really
proud
of
the
work
that
we
do
from
this
committee.
So
welcome
aboard
Diamond
I
think
we've
met
actually
right.
Yes,.
G
H
C
E
B
D
C
C
J
No
presentation,
there's
many
other
items
on
the
agenda.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
update
for
the
committee
city
council
did
receive
and
acknowledge
the
updated
flooding
and
sea
level
right
strategy
that
the
city
put
together.
You
know
of
the
course
the
last
number
of
months
we
just
had
a
flood
stat
meeting
and
an
important
meeting
within
the
city
on
how
we
track
flood
resilience,
and
it's
important
to
note
that
this
sea
level
strategy
is
an
improvement
on
the
past
one.
J
J
How
we
look
at
planning
and
all
those
things
and
be
aware
also
that
that
same
14
inches
of
seat
overrides
by
2050
is
the
Assumption
underpinning
the
comprehensive
integrated
Water
by
in
this
under
development
and
both
of
those
numbers
two
to
four
feet
by
2070
and
14
inches
by
2050.
Those
have
been
separately
confirmed
through
a
different
set
of
modeling
that
the
city
work
with
in
other
folks
in
the
county.
J
Just
a
quick
update
on
the
carpets
of
water
plan
about
halfway
done
with
that
work
had
11
external
workshops
over
the
last
number
of
months.
Those
are
mostly
done
we're
starting
to
digest
the
team
starting
to
digest
all
the
information
gathered
and
sort
of
work
out
work
out
some
direction
in
Pilots.
J
We
will
share
an
update
with
City
staff
in
July
to
get
feedback
to
see
things
that
we've
missed
so
that's
underway,
and
then
we
hope
to
be
able
to
present
a
giraffe
plan
to
city
council
and
to
this
committee,
probably
in
September,
late
September
or
early
October.
That's
the
timing!
So
that's
exciting
work,
it's
a
little
bit
scary,
but
it's
also
exciting
work
and
important
work
and
just
a
quick
reminder.
J
Some
of
you
on
the
phone
are
on
the
call
have
worked
with
us
and
worked
with
the
CD
over
the
last
year
to
upgrade
the
city's
ordinance
to
prohibit
slab
on
grade
construction
and
the
Hundred
Year
floodplain.
It's
a
very
important
step
for
the
city.
Again,
we
will
implement
this
beginning.
In
2024,
we
agreed
with
the
home
builders
and
realtors
in
the
chamber
and
the
environment
organizations
that
will
monitor
how
this
gets
implemented
over
the
you
know,
maybe
the
first
18
months
of
its
being
in
effect.
J
So
we
can
understand
if
there
are
changes
needed,
whether
because
it's
too
hard
to
comply
with
or
causing
some
you
know
external
externalities,
for
the
builders
or
if
it
is
not,
and
if
we
may
want
to
become
a
little
bit
more
Progressive
with
it,
just
want
to
give
you
those
updates.
That's
where
we
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
any
of
those
items
and.
C
C
C
A
I
have
two
updates
for
you:
I
put
together
some
slides
here,
so
a
really
fun
announcement.
We
just
added
our
first
two
electric
vehicles
to
our
Fleet
this
past
month.
They
are
being
tested
to
Pilot.
You
know
what
are
new
policies
and
procedures
are
for
for
staff,
how
to
charge
them
things
like
that,
so
our
mail
Courier
and
our
HR
department
will
be
driving
one
and
then
the
planning
department
is
sharing
the
others
so
pretty
exciting
stuff.
A
Here
we
we've
been
doing
a
lot
to
transition
our
Fleet,
and
we
also
you
know
trained
all
our
staff
and
created
a
training
plan
and
we've
recently
identified
funding
to
perform
a
fleet
transition
plan.
So
right
now
we
are
actually
working
on
redefining
our
goal.
Our
goal
in
flood
stat
needs
to
be
more
time
based
and
measurable,
so
we
want
to
actually
create
a
goal
for
the
light
duty
Fleet.
A
So
our
compost
program,
as
you
all
know,
mayor
tockenberg
and
city
council,
approved
funding
to
permanently
make
this
a
program
in
2023
and
to
double
its
capacity.
So
we
went
from
our
three
pilot
drop
sites
to
six
city
hosted
sites
and
we've
also
invited
all
the
regional
partner
jurisdictions
to
join
us.
So
we
are
actually
up
to
13
drop
sites
now
and
I,
basically,
their
Partners
pay
for
and
host
their
own
sites
and
they're
all
just
part
of
one
program.
So
you
can
drop
off
your
compost,
your
food
scraps
at
any
site.
A
That's
convenient
for
you,
so
pretty
exciting
to
watch
this
grow
in
the
spread
over
you
can
see.
We
still
have
some
gaps,
Center
West
Ashley
area
and,
of
course,
John's
Island,
so
trying
to
figure
out
those
opportunities
in
the
future.
We
also
did
all
kinds
of
trainings
and
workshops
and
all
various
locations,
and
during
quarter
one
and
we
targeted
we
hit
over
500
people.
We
gave
away
these
little
compost
bins
and
helped
people
understand
how
the
programs
work.
A
We
also
went
out
to
our
farmers
market
and
we
partnered
with
our
farmers
market
manager
and
we
went
out
and
trained
all
the
vendors
how
to
compost.
So
now,
all
the
vendors
are
composting
at
both
City
farmers
markets,
which
is
pretty
exciting.
While
we
were
at
the
West
Ashley
Market,
we
also
hosted
a
tent
and
we
got
to
talk
with
residents
there
too
about
the
program
for
a
couple
weeks,
and
then
we
also
promoted
it
at
many
of
the
Earth
Day
Fair
events.
A
So
here's
the
Daniel
Island
sign
we're
actually
installing
the
other
two
tomorrow
so
and
some
data
for
you.
So
we
have
over
17
100
households
participating.
You
can
see
the
first
three
sites,
still
kind
of
stand
out
there
as
most
people
participating
and
and
and
we
keep
seeing
new
signups
every
day.
So
it's
pretty
exciting.
A
So
here
our
goal
for
the
year
last
year
we
diverted
over
50
tons
just
in
our
pilot
project
we're
already
at
about
35
tons
in
the
first
four
months.
We
don't
have
our
May
data
in
yet,
but
our
goal
this
year
is
to
hit
150
tons.
So
we
are
on
track
to
hit
that
and
that's
that's
pretty
exciting
news
always
good
to
have
goals.
A
And
then
for
the
future,
we
are
trying
to
create
a
corporate
sponsorship
program
and
we're
hoping
that
maybe
some
businesses
would
like
to
fund
some
more
drop
sites
around
the
city.
So
we're
going
to
start
working
on
that
this
fall.
Hopefully,
when
some
more
grant
funding
comes
through
to
help
support
signage
for
that,
and
then
we're
trying
to
organize
more
opportunities
for
pumpkin
composting
in
the
fall
too.
C
C
K
Sure
thank
you,
mayor
I'll,
be
introducing
Janice
today
to
discuss
the
city's
recent
work
on
extreme
heat
as,
as
Missy
all
may
know,
the
city's
2019
Hazard
and
vulnerability
assessment
identified
extreme
heat
as
one
of
the
city's
key
vulnerabilities.
So
over
the
past
year,
Janice
has
worked
with
the
city
staff,
including
the
resilience
office
in
our
GIS
Department,
to
help
us
address
and
communicate
risk
compete
in
Charleston
and
we've
been
doing
that
in
partnership
with
NOAA
MUSC,
The
Citadel
and
South
Carolina
sea
Grant
amongst
other
partners.
K
It's
also
helped
spearheaded
work
by
the
city's
GIS
Department
to
Overlay
our
tree
canopy
and
heat
mapping
throughout
the
city
as
well.
A
little
info
brief
background
about
Jana
she's,
the
founder
of
climate
adaptation
partners
and
she
works
with
public
and
private
clients
to
identify
their
risk
and
vulnerabilities
to
meet
their
resilience
goals.
She
has
30,
plus
years
of
experience
in
design
and
planning
to
help
generate
Dynamic
strategies
to
address
climate
change.
K
L
Thank
you
so
much
Caitlyn
I'm,
going
to
click
through
four
topics
here,
really
appreciate
all
of
you
inviting
us
to
come
back
when
I
say
us:
it's
because
we
just
Advanced
this
slide.
Us
is
a
very
big
group
of
people
I'm
just
here
as
a
representative
I
wanted
to
talk
about
four
topics
today
that
kind
of
help
you
get
up
to
speed
on
the
work.
That's
been
happening,
we'll
start
with
where
this
all
began.
Some
of
you
might
have
seen
this
early
on
and
then
we'll
end
with
current
work.
L
The
first
thing
that
happened
as
Caitlyn
mentioned
when
the
city
started
when
the
city
completed
its
vulnerabilities
assessment,
extreme
heat
was
an
issue,
but
it's
not
obviously
the
priority
issue.
You've
got
some
real
concerns
with
water
as
Dale
was
just
describing,
and
those
priorities
are
absolutely
critical.
In
fact,
there
are
so
many
projects
coming
up
that
included
water,
as
well
as
the
kinds
of
expansions
of
work
at
the
Medical
District
West
edge
with
the
D.O.T
that
there
are
billions
of
dollars
going
into
the
ground.
L
However,
none
of
those
dollars
were
addressing
the
fact
that
the
heat
was
going
to
change.
Quite
a
bit
over
the
course
of
the
century,
with
extreme
heat
days
days
over
90
degrees
tripling
within
the
century
and
as
Noah
has
flagged.
This
is
a
really
deadly
issue.
In
fact,
year
over
year,
NOAA
attracts
the
heat
fatality
as
the
most
severe
weather
fatality
across
the
country.
So
when
we
think
back
at
those
Investments
and
think
about
well
this,
these
things
are
intended
to
last
50
7
5
100
years.
L
We
need
to
be
thinking
about
that
background
of
how
heat
is
going
to
change
along
that
same
timeline
and
whether
or
not
we're
thinking
about
heat
in
those
Investments.
So
in
working
with
this
Charleston
Medical
District
back
in
2019-2020
and
Christine
was
a
key
part
of
that
we
did
some
landsat
sampling
just
to
see
satellite
data
on
surface
temperature
and
couple
that,
with
some
emerging
technology,
allergies
using
FLIR,
1
cameras
to
help
you
understand
thermal
images
and
tracking
those
through
GPS
data,
and
we
did
that
work
on
a
typical
day
in
Charleston
summer
right.
Nothing!
L
Things
were
hotter,
so
we
were
seeing
temperatures
that
were
pretty
extraordinary
in
places
like
the
Gardens
at
MUSC,
and
when
you
look
at
B
Street,
where
all
a
lot
of
that
development
was
going
to
be
centered,
we
saw
some
pretty
significant
temperatures
more
like
a
hot
Corridor
than
a
cool
Corridor,
but
that's
normal.
Actually,
across
all
the
data
we
collected,
we
actually
saw
a
40
degree.
Temperature
difference
same
day
same
place
as
just
material
choices,
making
that
that
impact.
L
So,
with
Christine
and
others
leadership,
we
ran
a
heat
charette
at
the
Charleston
Medical
District
and
as
the
Medical
District
was
thinking
about
planning,
Master
planning
across
all
three
institutions
at
that
time
worked
with
the
engineers
to
raise
the
discussion
of
heat
that
then
led
to
research
with
the
sisa,
the
NOAA
sisa
team
in
two
ways,
one
looking
at
outdoor
worker
exposure
to
heat
in
the
second
looking
at
wet,
bulb,
Globe
temperature
and
you'll
have
these
slides.
So
you
can
get
the
details
about
this
huge
team
behind
it.
L
When
we
looked
at
outdoor
workers,
we
were
really
trying
to
understand
temperature
and
humidity
and
how
workers
were
exposed
to
that
so
MUSC
and
Citadel
grounds
workers
and
MUSC
safety
officers.
Over
the
course
of
two
weeks
we
collected
about
8
500
observations
and
there
were
some
major
takeaways
there,
one
the
workers,
personal
exposure
to
temperature
ambient
temperature
was
Far
higher
than
what
was
at
the
weather
station
two,
the
heat
index,
so
that's
temperature
and
humidity,
was
higher
than
at
the
weather
station
and
three
for
grounds
workers.
L
It
was
even
higher,
and
so
what
that
told
us
was
that
the
heat
index,
values
for
Citadel
and
MUSC
were
above
a
heat
risk
threshold
and
that
there
should
be
heightened
prevention
measures
and
they
were
already
doing
some
things
like
adjusting
their
work
days
in
order
to
accommodate
that
kind
of
heat.
But
we
shared
with
the
the
supervisors
of
those
groups,
some
niosh
recommendations
on
other
things
that
could
be
done
and
at
the
same
time
that
was
happening.
L
A
group
from
UNC
under
ship
Conrad's
leadership
looked
at
not
only
the
heat
index,
but
also
wind,
speed
and
solar
radiation.
When
you
put
those
four
things
together,
that's
what's
called
wet,
bulb
Globe
temperature.
Now
we
all
know
that
from
High
School
athletics
right
in
High,
School
athletics,
when
it's
too
hot,
you
don't
practice
insert
or
you
kind
of
bag
down
your
practice.
We
also
know
that
from
the
military
citadel's
been
tracking
this
forever.
L
So
what
we
begin
to
look
at
again
was
the
surface
temperature
issues
and
how
surface
types
the
degree
of
shade
and
the
openness
of
the
landscape.
So
how
much
can
the
wind
blow
across
it
or
how
rough
is
it
or
closed
in?
Is
it?
How
does
that
begin
to
impact
temperature,
and
what
we
found
at
this
CMD
campus
was
that
there
were
some
pretty
hot
spots
like
there
on
Dowdy
Street,
where
some
of
those
earlier
images
were
taken.
L
In
fact,
many
of
the
spots
that
were
sampled
were
in
those
Black
Flag
rating
temperatures,
so
that
then
led
us
to
doing
the
heat
watch
research
program
the
next
year.
Now
the
heat
watch
research
program
is
a
growing
program
across
the
country.
Charleston
was
one
of
the
first
cities
in
the
Southeast
to
be
involved
in
that
and
has
now
spurred
Colombia
to
be
involved
in
that
as
well,
and
there
are
folks
like
Scott
and
Susan,
and
all
these
volunteers
here,
including
some
folks
on
the
phone
who
were
so
involved
right
Stuart.
L
Thank
you
again
for
your
help
on
that.
The
heat
Watch
program
really
covered
about
69
square
miles
after
we
took
out
wetlands
and
water,
and
things
like
that
across
10
traverses.
This
is
an
example
of
a
Traverse
or
a
driving
route.
It
also
included
Fleer
teams,
which
is
what
Stuart
was
involved
in,
and
we
tried
to
map
those
areas
based
on
disparities,
where
we
know
that
heat
might
more
negatively
affect
people
making
sure
we
got
those
areas
covered
and
with
all
the
27
volunteers,
the
10
routes,
the
FLIR
mapping.
L
We
had
about
58
000
measurements,
including
images
like
these,
the
Stewart
and
team
collected
to
see
how
temperature
changes
across
surface
over
the
course
of
a
day.
Those
data
are
all
available
now
in
this
heat
watch
summary
that
tells
us
that
the
density
of
development
has
an
impact
that
the
concern
for
us
is
really
important
and
that
there
are
some
areas
that
we
thought
might
have.
An
impact
like
swamp
was
not
really
impactful,
and
these
data
have
all
been
fully
visualized
through
the
city
GIS
team,
on
this
website.
L
So
the
last
thing
we
want
to
tell
you
about
is
some
of
the
more
recent
work
based
on
what
was
happening
with
these
heat
watch
programs.
Noah
then
convened
a
program,
a
pilot
project
where
they
brought
together
four
cities
Charleston
along
with
Miami
Las,
Vegas
and
Phoenix,
to
dig
deeper
the
we
ran
a
project
in
Charleston
called
chirp.
The
Charleston
heat
health
research
project.
L
Noah
sponsored
this
work
because
of
that
heat
fatality
slide
that
we
showed
earlier
and
they're.
Also
recognizing
that
heat
is
an
inequitable
pain
point
right,
so
they're
really
interested
in
how
to
work
with
communities
to
better
understand
heat,
Health
impacts
and
address
their
needs,
and
we
are
still
ongoing
in
that
work.
L
We
already
knew
that
the
area
around
gas
and
green
was
pretty
hot,
but
Casey,
and
the
team
in
GIS
looked
at
other
areas
across
the
the
city
as
well,
just
to
understand
where
temperatures
might
be
warmer
in
case
of
gas
and
green
we've
got
a
lower
tree
canopy
and
you
can
see
the
Medical
District
right
there
and
how
hot
that
is
as
well.
So
we
did
a
similar
kind
of
thing.
On
a
typical
day
we
collected
data
to
understand
temperature
and
humidity
in
wet,
bulb
glow.
L
We
looked
at
not
only
the
the
primary
gas
and
green,
but
also
the
extension.
We
looked
at
surface
materials
like
those
that
we
had
looked
at
at
CMD,
just
basically
across
the
street
and
collected
the
flare
images
like
the
ones
Stewart
collected
during
heat
watch
and
in
looking
at
those
temperatures.
We
said
what's
happening
in
the
morning.
L
Just
in
a
typical
sidewalk
and
grass
and
building
site,
we
dug
a
little
bit
deeper
and
did
some
box
and
whisker
plots
to
understand
how
the
temperature
values
begin
to
Cluster
across
building
materials
and,
what's
really
interesting,
we
found
things
like
just
choosing
a
different
roof
material
made
a
huge
difference,
so
a
19
degree
difference
between
a
clay,
tile
roof
and
an
asphalt
roof.
That's
a
decision
that
can
be
made
pretty
straightforward
right
and
similarly,
even
the
same
material,
but
in
a
different
color
can
make
a
big
difference.
L
So
what
you
can
see
with
the
asphalt
shingle
here
is
a
difference
between
the
124
and
133
same
material,
just
a
different
color
of
shingles.
So
that's
another
thing
that
could
be
handled
better
and,
as
we
think
about
other
play
spaces
or
other
things,
you
recognize
that
different
material
choices
not
only
make
a
difference
in
the
surface
temperature,
but
also
in
the
radiated
heat
that
those
materials
introduce
and
when
we
looked
at
wet
bulb.
Globe
temperature,
like
like
we
did
at
the
Medical
District.
L
So
what
else
has
happened
here
and
we'll
just
wrap
up
with
this?
There
have
been
some
incredible
efforts
made
by
the
city's
GIS
team
to
make
these
data
public
and
to
create
tools
that
help
people
understand
the
issues
we've
had
several
Publications
in
concert
with
some
leading
researchers.
The
MUSC
team
is
currently
working
on
a
Statewide
heat
study
in
concert
with
National
Weather
Service.
L
The
city
has
also
begun
to
collect
existing
resources
that
you
have
ready
to
offer
to
Citizens,
including
this
cooling
center
facilities
map.
You
had
a
great
intern
this
summer
or
sorry
this
winter,
you
collected
some
resources
on
existing
tools
that
the
city
can
put
in
place
and
then
MUSC
health
professionals
have
been
offering
resources
as
well,
and
there
are
some
examples,
some
of
additional
strategies
that
could
be
introduced.
The
biggest
thing
is
really
just
getting
folks
involved
at
this
point
and
those
proclamations
that
you
worked
on
really
helped.
L
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
and
that
kind
of
gives
you
an
overview
of
where
we
are
in
these
four
steps
over
the
last
few
years,
and
if
you
have
any
questions
you
know
we
went
through
that
quite
quickly.
But
if
you
have
any
questions,
we'll
be
very
happy
to
answer
those
questions
and,
of
course,
you'll
have
the
Decks
that
you
can
refer
to
with
any
of
the
links
that
you
might
want
to
see
more
fully.
C
F
Share
each
other
should
I
say
what
I
was
gonna
say
anyway,
but
since
Janice
mentioned
my
name
a
few
times,
it
was
absolutely
amazing.
I
did
the
Ashley,
Greenway
and
I
had
no
idea
how
it
was
a
hot
day,
but
I
had
no
idea
how
hot
the
surface
was
and
then
that
part
of
the
West
Ashley
Greenway
has
no
trees.
F
So
if
people
are
going
to
be
walking
there
during
the
course
of
a
summer
day
how
much
hotter
it
is
because
there
are
no
trees
and
no
shade,
but
it
was
absolutely
amazing
in
those
pictures
that
Janice
showed
it
really
clarified
how
you
can
measure
heat.
So
it
was
a
fascinating
experience
and
I.
Think
it's
a
lesson
for
all
of
us
that
we
don't
realize.
As
Jenna
said,
this
is
an
outcome
of
climate
change,
that
the
days
are
all
getting
warmer
and
warmer
and
how
it
affects
and
I
think.
F
J
Just
wanted
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
additional
context,
so
Janice
and
I
go
back
quite
a
while
from
Dutch
dialogues
and
even
before
we
worked
on
some
similar
things
up
in
New,
York,
Post
Sandy.
So
Janice
is
a
true
asset
and
a
True
Believer
and
in
this
work-
and
she
was
always
telling
me
Dale-
we
need
to
do
water
and
heat
so
and
if
you
think
about
tree
canopy
and
water
for
cooling
and
heat
risk
mitigation,
it's
really
important.
J
Janice
was
right
and
we've
tried
to
follow
her
leadership
here
in
the
city
and
is,
is
you
know,
Janice
mentioned
a
lot
of
this
data
is,
has
been
collected
and
is
being
assembled
into
the
beginning
of
what
we
hoped
we,
the
resilience
and
stability
office.
Hope
you
ought
to
present
to
city
council
sometime
in
the
fall
for
the
beginning
of
a
of
a
heat
plan
and
the
reason
that
that
would
be
necessary
is
tourists
not
only
people.
J
You
know,
folks,
with
pre-existing
metal
conditions,
pregnant
women,
outdoor
workers,
all
those
all
those
folks.
We
need
to
understand
better
the
impacts
upon
their
upon
their
health
and
their
ability
to
get
around
during
the
day
from
heat,
because
it
is
going
to
get
hotter
and
then
what
we
as
a
city
may
want
to
do
to
consider
that
so
this
effort,
Janice,
has
been
spearheading
it
and
it
is
a
water
and
heat
thing.
We're
trying
to
put
together
and
I.
Just
can't
thank
her
enough
for
all
of
our
leadership
here.
C
C
You
all
have
done
a
terrific
job,
but
but
I
do
think
you
know
we
can
go
over
the
heads
of
a
lot
of
people
and
try
to
distill
it
down
now
to
what
what
steps
can
we
should
we
take
you
know
and
have
in
place
policy
wise
or
otherwise,
and
it
could
be
as
simple
as
you
know,
using
lighter
colored
shingles,
you
know
rather
than
the
dark
ones
and
making
sure
the
bar
knows.
That's
okay,
you
know
so
it
could.
C
M
J
It
won't
be
as
detailed
as
our
storm
water
management
plan
or
our
stormwater
design,
standards,
manual
or
comprehensive
water
plan,
but
it'll
be
the
start
of
it
and
we
can
then
build
on
it
in
the
future.
Right
again,
Janice
mentioned
this.
It's
important
heat
kills
more
people
than
any
other
natural
Hazard
wow.
G
G
Were
measured
and
then
maybe
what
the
ambient
temperature
was
say.
Three
four
five
feet
above
that
surface
and
what
the
different
materials
did
to
impact
the
air
temperature,
not
just
the
surface
temperature,
but
the
air
temperature
that
the
you
know,
workers
or
anyone
around
there
would
be
feeling
and
was
there
that
much
of
a
difference
between
say
the
artificial
turf
and
natural
grass-
and
you
know,
obviously
asphalt
and
concrete
and
everything
nearby.
L
Yeah
we
we
do
have
we
and
sorry
about
that.
I
thought
boy,
I've
gone
long,
they've,
muted
me.
It
was
my
Bluetooth.
So
thank
you
for
your
patience.
Yes,
we
have
data
that
show
what
the
surface
temperatures
are.
We
have
the
ambient
data
from
the
National
Weather
Service,
because
there
is
not
a
sampling
site
right
at
that
point.
We're
going
it's
it's
not
a
one-to-one.
L
C
You
and
I
would
know,
and
Katie
might
have
a
better
update
on
this
and
than
I
do,
but
we
we
are
doing
a
complete
inventory
of
our
tree
canopy
in
the
city
as
well,
and
that
should
be
able
to
tie
into
well
planning
for
future
plantings
tree
plantings
in
the
right
places
to
try
to
mitigate
this
heat
analysis
as
much
as
possible.
Isn't
that
right,
Katie
or
Dale?
That's.
A
Right
the
parks
Department's
working
on
the
street
tree
inventory
and
then
our
long-term
plan
is
to
use
that
data
to
apply
for
a
big
Federal
grant
to
plant
trees
in
disadvantaged
communities.
And
if
we
do
that
in
the
in
the
right
places,
they
waive
the
match
completely.
So
it's
just
it's
a
good
opportunity
plan
for
them.
We're
hoping
to
apply
for
that
spring
next
year.
Great.
C
Great
thank
you
well
again,
Janet
thank
you
for
being
with
us
today
and
for
all
the
incredible
work
Gathering
of
data
on
this
heat
index
and
you're
you're.
So
right,
it's
it's
a
killer
and
it's
going
to
get
worse
over
time
so
important
for
us
to
to
mitigate
for
it
in
every
way.
We
can.
Thank
you.
So
next
up,
we've
got
a
little
we're
talking
about
sustainable
events
and
having
a
guide
for
that
Katie.
A
So,
basically,
sorry,
let
me
get
this
out
of
the
way
here
we
go.
We
have
been
paying
close
attention
to
events
happening
in
the
city.
We
know
Charleston
is
home
to
many
different
events
of
all
sizes
on
public
and
private
property,
and
we
want
to
try
to
create
a
guide
to
help
these
events
give
them
some
ideas
get
more
creative,
so
they
can
be
more
sustainable,
reduce
waste
and
just
have
less
impact
on
our
local
community.
A
So
what
a
lot
of
other
cities
have
done
is
they
create
a
special
event
guide
and
sorry,
a
sustainable
event
guide,
and
so
so
we've
kind
of
modeled.
This
idea
off
off
of
others.
A
lot
of
the
other
guides
are
very
long.
They're
lengthy,
you
know
15
to
30
pages,
so
the
idea
was
kind
of
do
we
do
we
consolidate
this
into
a
simple.
A
You
know
three,
three
four
page
checklist
similar
to
how
we
did
it
in
our
climate
action
plan
for
a
resident
checklist
like
you
kind
of
see
here
on
this
image,
or
do
we
spread
it
out
a
little
more,
you
know.
Maybe
we
spread
this
to
eight
pages.
Add
more
pictures.
Add
some
facts
and
that
I
wanted
to
kind
of
put
it
to
the
committee
for
your
thoughts
on
it
and
before
you
you're
also
I
I
would
love
to
hear
input
specifically
on
all
these
items
too.
A
If
you
have
anything
you'd
like
to
change
or
add,
you
could
feel
free
to
email
me
those
specific
comments,
so
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
talk
about
each
detail
today,
but
I
wanted
to
kind
of
get
your
thoughts
on
the
formatting,
and
let
me
say
too
that
Katie
has
been
working
on
our
special
events
manual
and
it
is
nearly
ready,
so
the
other.
The
other
topic
of
discussion
is
how
do
we
attach
this
to
the
manual?
Is
it
part
of
the
manual?
Is
it
a
chapter?
A
Is
it
an
appendix
that
can
be
referenced
and
you
know
printed
separate,
and
so
so
these
are
kind
of
some
items
to
talk
about
today.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
the
permitting
of
special
events,
I
Know,
Dan,
riccio,
Amy,
Sutherland
and
Katie
Harris
Are,
all
on
and
I,
will
promote
them
to
panelists
right
now,
and
maybe
we
could
talk
about
that
more
and
for
anyone.
The
the
guide
is
actually
in
the
agenda
packet
that
I
posted
in
the
the
link.
A
A
O
I
didn't
know
if
Dan
wanted
to
say
something,
though
I
know
Katie
invited
them
to
say
something
first,
so
no
no
go
ahead.
Okay,
no
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
you
on
this
document.
It
is
really
I
really
enjoyed
reading
through
it
and
I
thought
it
was
great
and
very
helpful
and
I
thought
it
was
pretty
clear
as
to
what
was
somewhat
what
was
required
and
what
was
what
what
wasn't
and
ways
around
it
and
I
like
the
way
it's
set
up
as
a
checklist.
O
O
I
think
having
it
as
a
an
appendix
makes
sense,
and
you
know
perhaps
down
the
road
creating
some
kind
of
point
system
where
you
know
if
people
do
a
certain
amount
of
these
things,
that
the
city
would
acknowledge
them
as
a
sustainable
event
or
something
you
know,
people
seem
to
like
that
type
of
acknowledgment.
You
know
if
we
were
hosting
something
and
the
city
if
we
did
a
certain
percentage
of
those
things
and
the
city
would
qualify
it
as
a
sustainable
bet,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
organizations
in
Charleston.
O
C
P
Great,
thank
you
Dan.
Thank
you
mayor
good
morning.
Everyone,
my
name,
is
Katie
Gianni
I'm,
the
special
events
manager
over
here
in
the
department
of
livability
and
tourism,
I'm.
Also
the
chair
of
the
special
events
committee.
That
committee
is
comprised
of
about
10
different
city
departments.
We
meet
twice
a
month
to
discuss
applications
for
events
that
are
happening
on
city-owned
property,
public
right-of-way
and
that
sort
of
thing
in
the
application.
P
We
actually
have
a
section
for
traffic
for
trash
and
recycling
where
they
have
to
initial
that
they've
read
and
agreed
to
the
single-use
Plastics
ordinance.
The
committee
takes
that
one
step
further.
We
then,
when
they're
in
the
meeting
we
talk
about
what
that
actually
means
and
where
to
find
the
information
events
also
use
the
approved
mobile
food
food
vendor
list
on
the
website.
All
of
those
vendors
should
be
adhering
to
that
single-use
Plastics
ordinance,
I,
concur.
Katie
view
did
a
great
job
with
this
sustainability
event.
Manual
I
think
it's
awesome.
P
A
C
A
C
Thank
you,
Katie,
Johnny,
so
and
last
on
the
agenda
and
I
think
we
got
some
comments
back
from
the
chamber
just
yesterday.
It's
about
our
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
policy
for
new
construction.
This
is
just
a
draft
at
this
point,
and
so
we
are
have
our
ears
open
for
for
comments,
but
Katie.
You
want
to
explain
further.
We've
talked
about
this
before
yeah.
A
We've
talked
about
this
before
it
won't
take
us
through
all
the
slides.
I
know,
there's
a
couple
new
members,
but
basically
the
the
goal
of
this
is
to
save
save
money.
It's
a
lot
more
affordable
to
install
this
infrastructure
when
you
construct
a
building
when
it
is
to
go
back
in
retrofit,
so
saves
resources
saves
time.
So
this
this
job
code
applies
to
new
construction,
major
external
renovation,
that
have
parking
modifications.
Just
a
reminder.
A
This
code
really
only
addresses
level
two
charging,
so
we're
not
really
talking
about
level
one
or
the
DC
fast
charging,
and
then
the
code
is
split
into
three
category
requirements.
So
just
a
quick
of
the
categories
are
capable
is
really
just
that
panel
capacity,
you
know
the
Transformer
and
then
installing
that
conduit
and
then
EV
ready
is
all
those
the
same
is
above
plus
you're,
actually
adding
the
wire
in
the
conduit
and
the
termination
or
junction
box,
and
then
EV
installed
means
you're,
doing
everything
and
then
actually
adding
the
charging
station.
A
So
my
last
slide
is
a
little
intense
again.
The
copy
of
this
code
is
on
the
agenda
package,
but
you
can
see,
we've
broken
it
down
by
the
land
use
categories,
and
these
are
the
same
as
our
parking
code
and
our
zoning
code
and
there's
the
three
categories,
and
this
is
this-
is
how
where
the
code
is
at
right
now,
we've
had
a
lot
of
great
input
from
folks
and
I.
A
E
E
I'd
say
yeah,
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
I
want
to
start
by
saying
thank
you
to
Katie
for
the
response
letter.
We
got
we're
going
to
take
it
back
to
our
regional
policy
committee
next
week
when
we
meet
again
and
I.
Think
a
lot
of
things
were
addressed,
but
we'll
still
be
considering
particularly
the
regulation
versus
Marketplace
idea
and
those
concerns
that
we
expressed
in
that
letter,
and
we
think
that
the
marketplace
will
ideally
because
we
support
a
free
Marketplace
start
to
add
those
EV
charging
stations
in
so
we'll.
I
I
Additional
under
exceptions,
number
D,
we
see
renovations
to
existing
parking
spaces,
just
better
definition
of
what
a
major
renovation
is,
so
that
we
don't
have
a
patchwork
of
application
in
the
marketplace.
When
you
know
what
is
deemed
a
major
renovation,
for
instance,
some
things
like
that
to
make
sure
that
we're
seeing
consistency
across
the
board
on
that
side
also
use
a
conduit
can
create
an
expense
factor
that
may
be
may
add
additional
cost
to
units
that
may
have
an
unattended
consequence.
I
There
may
be
a
less
expensive
means
in
which
to
to
go
about
that.
So
some
little
tweaks,
like
that
I
think
the
homeowners
feel
like
we've,
had
a
good
opportunity
to
lean
in
and
so
Katie
I'll
send
those
to
you,
and
maybe
you
and
I
can
get
it
offline
rather
than
go
through
each
of
those
in
the
committee.
Unless
you
want
me
to,
but
that's
the
gist
of
some
of
our
some
of
our
comments,
we're
overall,
pretty
satisfied
with
where
we
stand
here
and
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
collaborate.
Great.
C
I
C
N
N
Thinking
that
the
comment
period
was
the
public
comment
period
but
appreciate
the
opportunity
I
I
work
for
a
company
in
chargepoint,
which
is
one
of
the
world's
largest
EV
charging
infrastructure
providers
in
terms
of
hardware
and
software,
we're
a
us-based
company
with
us-based
manufacturing,
and
we
also
have
offices
in
South
Carolina,
fortunately
didn't
get
them
in
Charleston,
but
they
are
in
Greenville,
but
but
they
they
are
there
in
the
states
and
related
to
the
EV
ready
building
code.
We're
in
full
support
of
this.
N
N
You
know
this
is
one
of
the
biggest
questions
for
someone
when
it
comes
to
purchasing
an
EV
is:
do
I
have
home
charging
I
personally
Drive
in
EV
in
the
state.
I
do
not
have
home
charging
I've
been
doing
it
for
nine
months
and
fully
reliant
on
that
public
charging
infrastructure.
I'll
tell
you.
If
I
had
a
home
charger,
it
would
make
things
a
lot
easier.
N
My
parents
have
one
and
it's
it's
really
nice
to
have
a
home,
Charter,
so
I'll
just
say
having
that
code
in
there
will
really
be
a
boost
for
the
city
in
terms
of
the
equity
you
know
of
where
we're
seeing
the
market
approach
of
deployments
happening.
Now,
in
multi-family,
dwelling
is
really
happening
in
higher
income
locations
so
by
having
these
codes
for
not
even
installing
the
stations
yet,
but
just
having
the
wiring
and
conduit
laid
for
some
of
these.
N
You
know
full-scale
Market
approach
to
the
the
housing
I
think
will
be
really
beneficial
in
the
sense
like
what
Katie
said
is
you
know
we're
seeing
a
five
five
to
ten
times
cost
reduction
when
it
comes
to
new
construction
versus
retrofit,
so
it's
I'll
pause
there,
but
but
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity.
Thank.
Q
Hey
I'm
here
all
right,
pardon
the
the
noise
I'm
outdoors
and
a
big
gust
of
wind
just
came
through,
but
hi
I'm,
Chris,
Carnival
and
I
live
in
West
Ashley
I
work
for
the
southern
Alliance
for
clean
energy
and
I
wanted
to
express
our
support
as
an
organization
for
the
EV
ready
ordinance.
The
ordinance
will
help
residents
and
guests
of
Charleston
realize
the
numerous
benefits
of
electric
transportation
and
importantly,
like
Ben,
was
saying.
Q
Q
R
You
and
good
morning,
mayor
and
all
other
attendees
on
the
line.
My
name
is
Brandon
villalona
and
I
I'm
with
the
maritime
administration
at
the
US
Department
of
Transportation
I
am
your
Regional
director
I
have
South
Carolina
Georgia
Florida,
Virgin,
Islands
and
Puerto
Rico
I
have
worked
in
pretty
extensively
I'd
like
to
say
with
Mark
and
his
team
there.
R
Thank
you,
sir
nice,
to
see
you
on
a
couple
of
different
Grant
programs
and
opportunities
and
I
I
serve
as
a
liaison,
essentially
and
generalists
across
all
of
our
different
Missions
at
the
maritime
Administration
and
at
the
U.S
Department
of
Transportation.
All
the
different
funding
programs
and
resources
that
we
have
available.
R
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
myself
I'm
looking
forward
to
attending
these
meetings.
I
think
that
there
could
be
an
opportunity
if
there
is
interest,
of
course,
for
infrastructure
or
planning
grants
to
align
with
our
protect
program.
That
was
recently
announced.
There's
a
nofo
out
right
now,
so
unfortunately,
I
I
have
to
jump
into
another
meeting,
but
I
can
I.
Think
I
I
sent
an
email
over
to
Katie,
and
you
know
please
feel
free
to
share
my
contact
information.
R
R
S
Yes,
hey
mayor
good,
to
hear
from
y'all,
so
not
sure
why
I
didn't
press
to
to
speak,
but
very
supportive
of
Katie's
work
on
the
on
the
the
ordinance
Amendment,
so
I
think
it's
got
a
lot
of
Merit
as
they've
expressed
and
as
with
Dominion,
just
glad
to
support
support
it
any
way
we
can
to
just
to
help
promote
electrification
and
avoid
really
high
cost
of
the
retrofitting
down
the
line.
So
so
that's
really
all
I
needed
to
add.
Okay,.
