Description
City of Charleston Resiliency & Sustainability Advisory Committee
B
Welcome
everyone:
this
is
our
final
meeting
of
the
resiliency
and
sustainability
advisory
committee
for
2020..
We
will
set
up
a
schedule
for
2021
and
announce
those
shortly.
My
name
is
katie
mccain,
I'm
the
director
of
sustainability
for
the
city
of
charleston
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
so
many
people
on
the
call
with
us
today.
We
are
also
live
streaming
on
youtube
and
you
can
go
back
to
youtube
and
check
and
revisit
anything
you'd
like
to
see
so
stuart
already.
Did
our
our
quick
welcome?
B
B
Who
will
talk
about
our
vulnerability
assessment,
final
report
and
then
stewart-
and
I
will
talk
about
our
climate
action
plan,
update
and
some
progress
we've
made
and
what
our
next
steps
are
and
then
we
will
have
a
public
comment
period
and
if
you're
on
the
webinar,
you
can
just
raise
your
hand.
If
you
have
something
to
say
that
is
more,
that
that
is
great.
If
you're
on
youtube,
you
won't
be
able
to
raise
your
hand
on
youtube
so
without
further
ado.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mark
for
his
update.
C
C
The
things
that
they're
focusing
on
that
will
be
new
coming
out
with
the
new
set
of
models
is
going
to
be
they're
looking
at
the
interior
hydrology
and
how
the
impact
of
the
wall
would
be
on
interior
hydrology
and
how
they
might
mitigate
for
that
and
they're,
also
looking
at
any
potential
negative
effects
to
other
parts
of
the
city
or
the
area
from
the
wall
being
there.
I
know
there's
some
concern
from
citizens
that
you
know
if
the
surge
comes
in.
If
it
pushes
away,
does
it
go?
Where
does
it
go?
C
So
those
are
the
two
big
things
that
they're
modeling
right
now,
like
I
said
they,
they
did
a
lot
of
good
work.
I
think
in
optimization
and
then
we'll
all
have
a
chance.
The
real
news
on
the
the
army
corps
of
engineer
project,
though,
is
that
the
wagner
ball
team
that
the
city,
along
with
a
series
of
folks
in
the
city,
helped
to
bring
on
board
they're.
C
C
I've
met,
I've
been
in
two
separate
meetings
with
them
already
and
different
groups
that
I
I
work
with
and
then
they'll
be
actually
be
in
the
city
next
week
for
some
face-to-face
meetings
with
key
people
as
well,
and
then
what
we
hope
will
happen
with
them.
So
the
next
milestone
that
the
the
project
itself
has
is
the
agency
decision
milestone.
C
So
we
were
that
meeting
was
scheduled
for
october
14th.
The
city
asked
for
and
was
granted
approval
to
for
an
additional
60
days,
so
we
could
have
the
input
60
days
worth
of
input
from
the
wagner
ball
team,
as
we
reviewed
our
options
at
agency
decision
milestone.
What's
does
that
mean?
Well,
the
the
army
corps
is
looking
for
two
things
from
the
non-federal
sponsor,
which
is
the
city
and
there's
two
two
questions
we
have
to
answer
at
the
agency
decision
milestone.
C
So
at
this
point
I
think
it's
it's
important
for
this
group
and
and
actually
everybody
to
understand.
This
is
just
the
study
that
we're
looking
to
support.
Okay,
it's
just
it's
the
study.
However,
without
a
science
study,
it
doesn't
move
forward
for
any
further
work
at
all.
So
if
the
study
doesn't
get
signed
at
the
end
of
this
study
period,
everything
just
stops.
C
C
If
we
were
to
decide
that
we
were
looking
for
a
locally
preferred
plan,
there's
a
couple
of
thresholds
there,
the
thresholds
are
one
the
city
would
have
to
pay
above
and
beyond
any
cost
to
the
army
corps
tentative
selected
plan.
Okay.
So
if
the
locally
preferred
plan,
if
we
were
to
have
one
and
and
I
need
to
really
stress
we're-
not
out
looking
for
a
locally
preferred
plan,
we
are
making
sure
we
don't
miss
one
okay
and
that's
what
we're
doing
and
that's
what
we're
asking
wagner
and
bald
to
do
as
well.
C
And
then,
if
there's
a
locally
preferred
plan,
it
cannot
reduce
the
amount
of
protection
it
provides
and
it
can't
reduce
the
amount
of
benefits
it
provides.
Okay,
the
city's
on
the
hook
for
any
additional
cost
as
well.
So
all
of
that
will
be
a
lot
of
really
busy
next
45
days
is,
I
guess
the
best
thing
I
can
tell
you
from
the
city
perspective
looking
forward
to
you
know
having
the
wagner
ball
team
here
next
week.
C
Looking
forward
to,
I
know,
I'm
going
to
go
up
and
see
the
chamber
next
week
right
scott
and
try
to
get
some
of
this
out
and
for
the
council
members
on
the
phone
call
we'll
be
sending
out
a
note,
probably
this
afternoon
or
tonight,
with
the
wagner
ball
schedule
where
you
all
be
invited
to
come
over
and
see
what's
happening
there
as
well.
So
that's
where
we
are
with
that
study
we're
working
through
it,
I'm
very
pleased
with
where
we
are
and
very
pleased
with
the
line
of
questioning
and
discussion.
B
B
So
next
on
the
agenda,
I
was
going
to
chat
a
little
bit
about
some
more
details
to
our
new
mattress
recycling
pilot
program.
Last
time
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
how
we
have.
We
received
a
grant
from
south
carolina
d-hec
to
support
this
pilot
project
and
some
of
our
challenges,
the
main
one
being.
We
can
no
longer
take
mattresses
to
the
bees
fairy
landfill.
So
that
means
we
must
actually
drive
farther
and
spend
more
staff
time
getting
rid
of
these
mattresses.
B
We
need
to
go
to
ladson
to
the
republic
landfill,
so
we're
spending
some
more
money.
Doing
that
and
the
thought
was:
can
we
reimagine
how
we're
spending
that
money
and
and
potentially
look
at
a
recycling
program?
So
with
the
help
of
dhec?
We
have
this
funding
to
do
a
pilot
project
and
really
we're
going
to
test
ways.
How
do
we
collect
it?
How
do
we
store
them?
How
do
we,
transport
them
and
ultimately
they're,
going
to
a
special
mattress
recycling
facility
in
pamplico,
south
carolina,
which
is
about
two
hours
away?
B
So
there
are
certain
transportation
details
that
of
course
need
to
be
worked
out
and
tested
it's
about
an
a
nine
month
project,
so
we're
looking
at
and
we
just
we
just
received
the
grant
in
august
september
time
frame
and
just
as
a
quick
review
when
we
recycle
mattresses.
We
are
not
turning
them
into
new
mattresses.
We
are
actually
disassembling
them
and
reusing
the
raw
materials
in
different
ways.
B
So
here's
our
new
logo,
our
program,
will
start
on
january,
1st
we're
really
excited
and
we
are
working
on
the
marketing
materials
now
to
get
that
out
and
the
advertising.
So
we're
we're
pretty
pretty
excited
about
this.
Here's
some
of
the
we're
going
to
test
a
few
different
collection
methods
such
as
a
drop-off
site
online,
pickup,
there's.
Actually
a
company
right
now
called
bed
shred
that
has
an
online
pickup
service.
So
if
you
wanted
to
recycle
your
mattress
right
now,
you
could
schedule
it
through
them.
B
B
If
anyone
on
the
committee
has
other
ideas,
we
would
certainly
entertain
them
and,
of
course,
looking
into
how
we
can
improve
curbside,
pickup
and
potentially
collecting
them
curbside
or
what
what
it
could
mean
if
we
don't
collect
them,
curbside
how
that
could
save
us
some
money,
so
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
this.
Can
we
can
we
better
purpose
those
funds
that
we're
spending
to
now
to
now
drive
these
mattresses
farther
away?
B
If
we
can
get
these
mattresses
out
of
our
trucks,
they're
actually
pickup
trucks
that
could
result
in
less
trips
to
the
landfill,
less
overall
gas
less
staff
time?
So
maybe
we
could
save
money
that
way
and-
and
that
would
allow
us
to
put
some
money
towards
the
hauling
of
these,
to
get
them
to
the
recycling
facility,
which
is
two
hours
away
and,
like
I
mentioned
that
private
program
already
exists,
so
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
make
this
a
sustainable
program.
So
it
isn't
just
another
line
item
on
the
budget.
B
We
are,
of
course,
targeting
residents,
because
that's
how
we
pick
these
mattresses
up
from
now.
There
are
definitely
retail
businesses
that
dispose
of
a
lot
of
mattresses
a
month,
and
businesses
will
still
be
responsible
for
discarding
their
own
waste.
However,
we
think
there
could
be
a
great
opportunity
to
partner
with
some
of
these
businesses,
and
we
welcome
anyone
interested
in
pursuing
that
to
reach
out
to
us
and
we're
happy
to
entertain
that
discussion
and
see
if
we
can
recycle
even
more
mattresses
right
now.
B
B
Per
retail
store,
so
most
people
when
you're
buying
a
new
mattress.
You
have
the
store,
take
they'll
dispose
of
yours.
Sometimes
they
charge
a
fee,
but
most
of
the
time,
they're
still
taking
them
to
the
landfill
they're,
not
recycling
them,
because
it
is
more
expensive
to
take
them
two
hours
away
than
30
minutes
away.
Right.
B
So
I'm
really
excited
to
announce
our
partnership
with
bedshred.com.
They
will
be
our
hauler
and
here's
our
new
logo
and,
of
course,
our
other
partners,
d,
heck
and
charleston.
Mattress
is
an
affiliate
of
bedshed,
so
this
is
pretty
exciting.
We
will
have
more
details
on
our
website,
which
is
our
homepage,
slash,
mattress,
dash
recycling,
so
we'll
send
out
more
info
when
we
have
it,
but
look
are
looking
forward
to
this
starting
on
january
1st.
B
So
when
we
have
this
we'll
share
it
with
everyone
and
if
y'all
can
share
it
within
your
networks,
that
would
be
great
and
will
help
spread.
The
word
and
like
I
said
this
is
a
pilot
program.
So
we'll
see
what
works,
what
doesn't
and
then
look
at
possibly
continuing
that
within
a
future
but
budget
cycle,
because
the
grant
will
only
fund
the
pilot
part
of
it.
D
So
katie
great
work
on
this.
I
was
just
thinking
you
were
talking
about,
contacting
the
mattress
companies
and
all
like
that.
Maybe
could
we
consider
taking
this
to
the
sierra
club
and
letting
them
be
aware
of
it
number
one,
but
asking
them
if
they
could
provide
some
volunteers
to
make
those
calls
and
to
do
those
kinds
of
things.
It
seems
like
a
a
worthwhile
project
for
some
non-profit,
if
not
the
sierra
club
and
some
other
environmental
group
might
be
willing
to
give
us
some
assistance
on
this.
B
B
F
B
F
B
F
B
F
C
C
If
not
today,
before
the
end
of
the
week,
it's
been
a
while
in
the
works,
but
I
want
to
say
this
this.
From
my
perspective,
I
don't
know
of
any
other
study
that
we
have
used
as
much
in
city
work
as
this
one
already
to
date.
This
has
been
used
in
every
project
that
is
looking
at
any
kind
of
data
on
our
vulnerability
and
risks,
and
and
want
to
thank
matt
and
his
team.
C
It
informs
not
only
about
the
hazards,
but
it
really
also
focuses
in
on
who
is
at
risk
and
what
is
at
risk,
what
types
of
facilities
and
and
where
they're
located.
It
also
talks
a
little
bit
about
the
jobs
that
are
at
risk.
The
economy
that's
at
risk
and
all
this
was
taken
from
publicly
available
databases,
and
I
think
map
might
cover
that
a
little
bit,
but
somebody
asked
me
the
other
day.
You
know
how.
C
It
should
help
us
use
if
the
city
as
the
city
integrates
it
in
it
should
help
us
to
know
where
to
work
first
and
how
we
reduce
our
greatest
risk
and
those
will
be
further
decisions
and,
like
I
said,
it'll
be
posted
sometime
this
week
and
with
that
I
want
to
thank
matt
and
his
team
and
turn
it
over
to
matt.
To
go
ahead
and
give
us
a
quick
final
report.
E
E
I
also
want
to
recognize
the
the
team
that
I
feel
really
fortunate
to
have
been
a
part
of
included,
a
nemac
fernleaf,
collective
water
resources,
kimberly
horn
and
joyce
communications
and
as
a
team,
we
were
really
able
to
bring
a
range
of
perspectives
and
expertise
to
the
project
that
was
really
exciting.
It
was
really
exciting
to
see
how
that
came
together
so
moving
on
into
you
know.
E
First,
what
is
the
assessment,
and
so,
as
mark
mentioned,
the
assessment
really
is
a
resource
for
city
leaders
and
staff
to
use
to
assess
and
manage
impacts
from
hazard
events.
As
mark
mentioned,
the
assessment
was
designed
to
be
integrated
with
the
city's
flooding
and
civil
rights
strategy,
the
dutch
dialogues
process
that
happened
last
year
and
other
planning
efforts
and
be
integrated
on
ongoing
basis.
E
So
a
big
part
of
the
assessment
early
on
was
defining
this
idea
of
community
assets
and
core
systems,
and
this
really
became
the
foundation
for
the
assessment
and
we
worked
with
city
staff
on
defining
these
systems,
including
property
and
public
services,
businesses
and
homes
that
are
included
in
that
category
critical
facilities,
including
schools
and
public
safety,
and
the
next
one
was
rhodes.
Mobility
really
focused
on
access
to
critical
services.
E
E
The
assessment
then
focused
on
what
hazards
to
assess
you
know
what
hazards
are
most
likely
to
harm
people
in
the
community
that
results
in
loss
or
failure
of
these
assets,
or
course
systems
in
the
city,
and
so
the
assessment
focused
on
eight
hazards
in
total,
four
of
which
were
flooding
related
and
six
of
which
were
climate
related.
So
the
others
you
see
here
in
addition
to
flooding
and
sea
level
rise,
are
earthquakes.
E
And
so
the
assessment
really
focused
on
defining
vulnerability,
and
it
does
that
through
a
variety
of
ways
and
here's
one
image
that
conveys
how
vulnerability
can
be
viewed
from
a
physical
standpoint.
These
two
images
or
these
two,
these
two
buildings
in
this
image,
are
equally
exposed
say
to
the
threat
of
flooding,
but
the
characteristics
of
these
two
properties
make
one
more
vulnerable
than
the
other.
E
On
this
example,
looking
at
the
elevation
of
the
building
on
the
left,
that
would
be
less
vulnerable
to
an
impact
of
flooding
than
the
building
on
the
right,
but
it's
really
characteristics
like
these
that
are
assessed
differently
for
every
hazard
in
the
assessment,
and
this
is
just
looking
at
one
aspect
of
the
physical
aspect
of
vulnerability.
The
other
really
key
part
here
that
the
assessment
focused
on
are
social
vulnerabilities
as
well,
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
here
in
a
minute.
E
The
assessment
is
city-wide
and
focused
on
the
city
limits
and
then
beyond
the
city
limits,
and
this
map
on
the
right
shows
the
extent
of
the
study
area,
which
the
extent
is
made
up
of
census.
Tract
boundaries
that
encompass
the
city
and
the
areas
here
on
in
the
colors
on
the
map
show
the
different
areas
that
were
also
focused
on
throughout
the
assessment
and
so
nine
areas
in
total,
including
daniel
island,
the
downtown
peninsula
area,
james
and
john's
island
kane,
hoy
area
in
west
ashley.
E
But
here,
with
this
level
of
flooding
the
image
on
the
right
in
the
red
areas,
the
red
road
segments
you
see
on
that
map
are
potentially
inaccessible
roads
at
this
water
level,
and
so
you
can
see
here
the
numbers
there
associated
on
those
map
and
on
that
map.
Ten
percent
of
major
roads
inaccessible
at
that
level,
25
percent
of
minor
roads
throughout
the
city
and
the
really
key
part,
is
okay.
E
And
the
last
key
finding
we'll
touch
on
here
and
it's
a
really
important
one-
is
that
areas
that
are
vulnerable
to
hazards
are
also
socially
vulnerable
and
that's
a
really
key
finding
throughout
the
assessment
that
that
you'll
see
and
here's
one
example
of
storm
surge.
The
assessment
shows
highlights
that
about
90
percent
96
of
homes
in
the
most
socially
vulnerable
neighborhoods
of
the
city
are
highly
vulnerable
to
storm
surge.
This
also
includes
public
housing.
Nearly
all
public
housing
properties
are
vulnerable
to
storm
surge
and
about
96
percent
of
food.
E
The
images
on
the
right
shows
just
the
homes
and
the
dark
red
areas
showing
the
highest
levels
of
vulnerabilities
to
to
homes,
to
storm
surge,
and
when
we
talk
about
social
vulnerability,
the
assessment
used
information
from
the
cdc
to
define
different
types
of
social
vulnerabilities
and
the
cdc
frames
them
through
four
different
themes,
such
as
housing
and
transportation,
minority
status
and
language
and
socioeconomic,
and
so
the
assessment
again
pulled
in
that
information
from
the
cdc
to
look
at
these
elements
of
social
vulnerability.
As.
E
These
are
the
components
that
the
city
came
up
with.
This
is
not
something
that
the
consulting
team
developed,
but
these
critical
components
really
provides
this
holistic
approach.
That's
really
needed
for
building
resilience,
and
this
is
an
approach
that
we
really
commend
the
city
on
and
one
that
we
know
that
other
communities
are
going
to
be
really
interested
in
using
and
building
on
as
well.
E
So
the
assessment
in
looking
at
options
and
priorities
identified
over
90
different
strategies.
The
assessment
report
does
highlight
the
top
20
or
so
recommendations
of
these
90,
but
there
are
lots
of
strategies
developed
throughout
each
of
these
components.
You
can
see
their
28
strategies
related
to
infrastructure,
10
strategies
related
to
land
use.
E
As
one
example
of
a
strategy,
here's
one
that
is
one
of
the
top
recommendations
based
on
the
assessment
findings-
and
this
is
a
strategy
related
to
resources
related
to
acquiring
appropriate
flood
response
assets
for
public
safety.
So
the
assessment
highlighted
that
about
86
percent
of
properties.
City-Wide
could
be
inaccessible
to
emergency
response
in
major
flood
events,
and
so
again
this
is
a
different
image
from
the
title
flooding
one
in
civil
rise
earlier.
E
However,
you
know
the
there
are
opportunities
and
the
assessment
highlights
a
lot
of
these
opportunities,
and
so
it's
important
to
recognize
the
importance
of
being
solutions
oriented
and
the
assessment
does
highlight.
You
know
how
some
of
these
strategies
can
mitigate
potential
future
risk,
and
so
with
that,
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
the
final
report,
and
so
all
this
information
we
just
touched
on
a
few
high-level
findings.
E
That
includes
general
area
reports
for
each
of
these
areas,
highlighted
in
the
study
area
map,
there's
a
there's,
an
area
report
for
each
of
those
nine
areas
and
includes
these
two
page
asset
hazard
profiles,
and
so
for
any
of
those
asset
categories
for
any
of
the
hazards.
You
can
look
at
a
two-page
profile
for
the
vulnerability
and
risk
information
and
includes
all
those
90
options
that
we
highlighted,
and
so
with
that
all
that
mark
or
katie.
If
you
want
to
mention
the
report
release,
I
guess
you
already
mentioned
that
mark
of
happening
this
week.
C
E
D
E
Great
question,
so
the
assessment
looks
at
vulnerability
to
extreme
heat
event
as
any
day
that
would
be
over
95
degrees
is
what
the
national
climate
assessment
information
supports,
and
so
there's
information
that
you
can
see
some
of
it
in
the
report.
But
the
national
climate
assessment
gives
a
lot
more
detail
of
how
they
define
days
over
95
degrees
and
the
potential
for
those
increasing
with
time.
G
Hey
matt
and
this
might
be
for
matt
and
for
mark.
This
is
mark
messersmith,
just
wondering
how
that
assessment
matched
up
with
some
of
the
existing
city
of
charleston
drainage,
improvement
projects
that
have
been
ongoing,
like
in
the
church,
creek
watershed
and
marquetry
wagner.
Terrace.
Other
areas
like
that.
E
There's
a
lot
of
detail
there
of
different
initiatives
that
tie
into
some
of
those
projects,
but
also
identify
areas
of
opportunity
where
there
may
not
be
projects
necessarily
identified
and
the
assessment
report
information
should
help
to
identify
those
opportunities
going
forward.
But
mark
don't
know
anything
else.
You
want
to
add
to
that.
C
Well,
I
think
I
think
what
I
would
add.
It's
a
good
question
mark
thanks
for
asking
it.
I
think
you
know
this
data
here
which
underpinned
a
lot
of
the
work
that
the
dutch
dialogues
report
did,
which
validated
the
need
for
the
work
out
in
west
ashley
out
in
church
creek,
which
was
also
validated
by
other
studies.
C
So
all
of
the
studies
have
lined
up
and
and
if
you
look
at
what
we're
actually
now
doing
out
there,
you
know
it's
a
variety
of
things
by
taking
things
out
of
the
flood
plain,
which
is
what
we're
doing
restoring
the
floodplain
once
we
take
homes
out
of
there
and
and
turn
the
property
back,
but
also
looking
at
some
hard
infrastructure
solutions
that
are
just
beginning
to
get
underway.
So
I
think
it
lines
up
perfectly
with
that.
C
But
again
this
is
you
know
those
projects
will
come
on
as
funding
allows
and
as
it's
prioritized
by
city,
council
and
others.
Also,
the
a
ecom
study
which
matt
fountain's
been
leading
when
that
is
ready
to
come
out,
that's
going
to
look
at
projects
by
storm,
storm
surge
or
not,
storms,
it's
by
the
the
basins
that
you
look
at
and
that
will
also
help
to
put
a
little
finer
point
on
some
of
those
projects.
C
E
C
And
also
a
nice
comment
from
kendra
stewart.
You
know
for
thanks
for
looking
at
social
vulnerability,
it's
important
how
we
think
about
addressing
these
issues
and
thank
you
kendra
for
that
comment,
but
the
team
all
of
the
team
city
staff
certainly
and
then
the
the
fern
leaf
team.
We
we
started
with
social
vulnerability
as
one
of
the
key
things
that
we
had
to
make
sure
was
looked
at
at
every
stage
of
this
report
and
I
think,
when
you
get
into
the
report,
you'll
see
that.
D
So
so
matt,
if
I
may-
you
mentioned
that,
go
back
to
that
slide.
If
you
don't
mind
about
the
vulnerable
populations
and
and
some
extremely
high
figure,
97
percent
vulnerability
on
storm
surge
right
about
96
of
homes
in
the
most
socially
vulnerable
neighborhoods
are
vulnerable
to
storm
surge
and
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
a
goodly
number
of
those
are
on
the
peninsula
and
then
the
jobs
of
vulnerability
was
on
another
slide,
60
something
percent
on
the
65
percent
on
the
peninsula.
E
Yes,
so
that
that
figure
is
also
available
for
storm
surge
and
there's
there's
one
summary
page
in
in
the
report.
If
you're
you
know
wanting
to
look
at
some
of
these,
you
know
stats
related
to
each
hazard
page
25
of
this
final
report
that
will
be
available
highlights
for
every
single
asset
category,
including
the
jobs
and
for
every
hazard.
What
the
level
and
percentage
of
vulnerability
is,
and
so
that's
kind
of
one
quick
page
that
I
kind
of
refer
folks
to
in
the
report
that
will
be
available
where
you
can
find
that
information.
D
E
That's
a
great
question:
I'm
not
familiar
with
the
specific
findings
from
any
of
the
army
corps
studies,
yet
I
think
that's
really.
That
was
that
was
one
of
the
key
points
of
integration
that
I
think
the
assessment,
and
we
talked
about
with
city
staff
through
the
process
that
that
will
be
a
key
integration.
Point
of
you
know
what
are
what
are
the
from
a?
I
guess,
a
benefit
standpoint,
but
from
really
a
vulnerability
reduction
standpoint.
E
You
know
what
are
the
assets,
people
that
are
currently
in
harm's
way,
that
a
project
such
as
that
could
you
provide
some
mitigating
benefit
or
protection
to
so
we
didn't
look
at
that
in
this
report.
But
it's
definitely
you
know
something
that
the
assessment
information
in
the
format,
their
mate
information
should
be
in
a
format
to
make
that
connection.
D
C
C
Interesting
you
bring
that
up
on
the
call
I
was
on
before
this
with
dhs
fema
and
the
folks
over
at
delph
in
the
netherlands
for
the
project
that
we're
kicking
off
tomorrow.
One
of
the
the
science
folks
over
in
delft
actually
is
going
to
show
exactly
what
you
just
mentioned.
Oh
good,
and
that
was
without
must
he's
going
to
take
hurricane
hugo
and
show
it
coming
to
the
peninsula
and
what
kind
of
impact
the
storm
surge
system
would
have
in
protecting
assets
on
the
peninsula.
C
D
Great
awesome
so
matt.
Thank
you
again
for
this
critical
assessment
and
study,
and
it
comes
as
a
great
time.
As
I
know,
this
will
inform
our
comprehensive
plan,
that's
being
updated
right
now
by
our
community
and
our
planning
department
and
the
way
this
does
integrate
with
our
sea
level
rise
strategies.
I
I
think
it's
very
timely
and
thank
you
for
your
work
on
it.
As
we
read
the
whole
thing,
I
bet
we
might
have
some
more
questions
for
you.
E
F
E
D
D
B
D
B
So
I
wanted
to
share
some
feedback
that
we
received
from
the
community.
So
as
part
of
our
public
participation
process,
we
had
an
original
survey
that
was
out
on
our
website
and
we
also
had
a
public
meeting
and
I'd
like
to
share
the
results
from
the
survey
and
then
stewart
will
share
the
results
from
the
public
meeting.
That
way.
Everyone
on
the
committee
can
hear
the
comments
that
people
said.
B
So
we
had
over
200
and
we
had
222
responses
as
of
last
night,
and
that
was
about
over
six
weeks.
The
majority
of
folks
are
residents,
but
you
can
see
that
there
are
some
folks
outside
of
city
limits
that
maybe
in
mount
pleasant
or
north
charleston.
That
also
took
the
survey,
which
is
great
and
we
had
a
couple
non-residents.
B
I
do
want
to
start
with
the
demographic
diversity,
because
I
think
this
is
really
important.
I
have
received
a
couple
comments
saying:
why
is
this
important
and
it's
important
so
we
know
who
we're
hearing
from
and
we
can
go
back
and
say
and
say
you
know
we
didn't
reach
that
target
our
audience
that
we
wanted
to
reach,
and
maybe
we
need
to
rethink
things.
So
if
we're,
for
example,
only
reaching
all
males,
then
that's
going
to
skew
our
survey
results
so
that
demographics
are
really
important.
B
B
Now,
while
the
majority
of
folks
were
white,
who
who
participated
in
this
survey,
I'd
just
like
to
point
out
that
this
is
actually
one
of
the
smallest
or
largest
percentages
of
non-white.
People
we've
had
in
some
of
the
surveys.
So
while
we're
not
there
yet
and
we're
not
getting
the
participation,
we
would
love
to
see
from
other
demographics.
B
So
for
those
of
you
most
of
you
took
this
survey
yourselves
and
we,
the
first
two
sections,
were
some
questions
on.
How
do
you
personally
feel
about
something
versus?
How
do
you
think
people
in
charleston
feel
about
it
so
in
in
we'll
go
through
some
of
these
questions?
So
the
first
one
was
I'm
concerned
about
climate
change,
and
you
can
see
the
number
of
people
who
strongly
agreed
on
the
left
and
then
on
the
right
and
notice
that
the
y-axis
is
different.
B
We
can
thank
free
survey
software
for
that,
but
just
keep
that
in
mind,
but
on
the
right
you
can
see
that
the
number
of
people
who
strongly
agreed
with
this
comment
for
how
other
people
think
about
it
is
very
different.
So
you'll
notice
this
pattern
as
we
go
through
these
that
the
personal
feelings
seem
to
be
a
little
more
stronger
than
how
we
think
other
people
feel
so
I'm
concerned
that
climate
change
will
harm
me
and
my
family
we're
seeing
the
same
pattern
here
and
there'll
be
a
full
report
released
on
this.
B
So
we
don't
need
to
go
into
too
much
detail.
I'm
concerned
that
climate
change
will
harm
future
generations
wow.
This
is
a
big
one.
Climate
change
is
caused
mostly
by
human
activities
versus
people.
Think
people
in
charleston
think
that
it's
caused
mostly
by
human
activities.
So
there's
a
pretty
big
difference
there.
B
B
I
am
already
taking
action
to
prevent
climate
change,
also
also
pretty
pretty
strong
on
the
left
side
and
here's
all
those
questions
just
on
top
of
each
other,
so
you
can
see
so
the
top
is
the
personal
feelings
and
the
bottom
is
what
people
think
and
you
can
just
see
that
stark
difference
between
that
giant,
blue
bar
versus
the
other
colors
at
the
bottom.
I
thought
that
was
pretty
interesting,
so
that
was
the
first
section.
B
B
Energy,
efficient
homes
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
we
went
on
to
say
that
greenhouse
gases,
of
course
trap
heat
in
the
atmosphere
which
leads
to
light
rising
global
temperatures
and
that's
what
causes
our
climate
to
change?
Lots
of
agreement
on
that
my
transportation
choices,
impact
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
a
lot
of
agreement.
B
B
Workplace
electricity
use
and
heating
cooling
contribute
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions
even
more
agreement.
There,
solid
waste
contributes
to
the
emissions
lots
of
agreement
there,
and
then
we
asked
what
actions
are
you
already
taking,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
write-ins
that
were
great
to
see
with
the
major
the
largest
ticket
items
were
conserving
electricity
limit
buying
items
that
produce
waste
limiting
meat
consumption
was
pretty
large
about
60
of
the
group
is
already
doing
that,
so
that
was
great
to
see.
B
Performing
energy
efficiency
upgrades
also
also
a
big
one
and
then
walking
instead
of
driving
or
riding
bike
instead
of
driving
or
riding
transit
instead
of
driving
made.
The
list
we've
about
17
of
people
already
drive
a
hybrid
or
electric
vehicle,
but
only
about
seven
percent
of
people
have
solar
powered
electricity
and
then,
like
I
said
there
were
some
people
that
said
that
they're
not
doing
anything,
they
were
about
eight
percent
of
their
respondents.
B
Do
you
think
the
city
of
charleston
should
be
doing
more
than
they
are
currently
to
address
climate
change?
That
was
the
majority.
Yes,
in
the
past
year,
have
you
become
more
or
less
supportive
of
taking
action?
We
have
a
lot
of
people
saying
they're,
more
supportive
or
neutral
and
then,
like
I
said,
we
had
a
few
open-ended
questions
with
lots
of
responses.
So
I'll
send
these
to
you
in
the
final
report.
It
was
really
good
to
see
these.
These
were
very.
B
B
F
A
One
of
the
things
that's
very
interesting
is
what
katie
just
reported
by
the
survey
actually
was
part
of
all
the
responses
at
our
community
meeting
last
week,
probably
the
some
of
the
important
items
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
these,
but
we
asked
everyone:
do
you
support
strengthening
our
target
emissions
goal
and
adding
a
short-term
goal
and
the
overwhelming
majority
said
we
must
be
50
reduction
by
2030
and
debt
zero
by
2050.
there
was
almost
100
percent
consensus
consensus
on
that
katie.
Can
you
just
scroll
down
what
we
then
ask?
A
What
can
this
city
do
and
I
think
we
got
across
the
point
that
whatever
we
do
in
a
climate
action
plan
for
the
city
of
charleston
must
be
a
real
plan
and
that
we
must
be
able
to
make
sure
that
we
in
the
future
budgets
that
we
also
provide
for
that
you
can
see
what
employees
carpooling
they
actually
address.
Each
of
those
issues.
Building
this
talking
about
getting
greater
usage.
We
know
that
the
city
already
does
energy
audits.
But
how
can
we
take
those
energy
audits
even
further
transportation?
A
We
know
we
have
the
new
bus
high
speed
bus
coming
in
a
couple
years,
but
what
are
the
other
things
that
we
can
do
encouraging
carpool,
pooling,
more
green
space
more
park
and
ride
and
see
if
the
city
can
model
a
lot
like
composting,
etc?
We
then
asked
the
same
question
to
the
businesses
and
regarding
businesses,
and
again
it
was
green.
You
know
that
we
used
to
do
the
green
business
challenge.
A
Maybe
we
should
reenact
that
we
encourage
participation.
Can
we
do
renewable,
renewable
energy
as
a
must
for
all
new
buildings?
I
know
that
sometimes
we
don't
have
the
authority
here
in
charleston,
but
are
some
of
these
things
that
we
should
be
lobbying
for?
Should
we
ever
give
out
a
building
permit
in
the
future
that
does
not
include
renewable
energy
in
their
building
process.
A
Asking
all
the
businesses
to
do
an
energy
audit
there's
actually
a
program
that
some
37
states
have
adopted
called
pace
which
actually
provides
a
lending
vehicle
for
businesses
that
want
to
do
things.
How
about
making
sure
that?
Well
that
you
have
a
bike
rack,
could
you
reimburse
employees
for
biking
or
walking
or
pay
for
employees
to
take
the
bus
weatherization
that
goes
back
into
the
energy
audits
composting?
A
Can
every
business
have
an
ev
charging
station?
Could
they
renovate
their
roofs
to
be
green?
Roofs
could
all
of
their
parking
lots,
be
permeable
parking
lots,
and
this
is
a
this
came
across
that
anybody
who
does
have
a
parking
lot.
It
says
everybody
wants
to
park
in
the
shade.
Can
we
put
roofs
on
parking
lots
that
are
solar
roofs?
We
then
asked
what
could
residents
do
and
we
said
to
find
incentives?
I
know
that
dominion
has
a
small
incentive.
Can
we
increase
that
for
replace,
replacing
less
energy
efficient,
air
conditioners
and
appliances?
A
Add
some
incentives
for
adding
solar
panels.
Compost
came
across
in
almost
every
area,
use
of
evs
and
hybrids
the
park
and
ride
came
up
again
sending
back
your
hot
water
heater.
Your
thermostats
provide
education
that
we
really
many
people,
don't
know
what
we're
doing,
and
they
also
don't
know.
As
the
mayor
has
said
in
the
past
that
climate
change
is
an
existential
threat
to
the
city
of
charleston,
so
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
could
do.
A
Think
it's
not
economically
feasible,
but
we
see
that
the
use
of
renewable
energy
has
saved
people
and
cities
and
other
municipalities
a
lot
of
funds.
So
again
katie's
going
to
post
this.
It
was
really
exciting
to
participate,
and
some
of
you
that
are
on
on
this
call
also
participated,
and
we
just
it's
a
good
feeling,
knowing
that
people
want
to
be
involved
and
get
involved.
So
that
was
our
community
meeting.
B
Okay,
so
now
really
quickly
our
climate
action
planning
task
force
met
in
september
and
I'd
just
like
to
update
you
on
that
discussion.
So
we
had
about
25
folks
and
we
of
course
went
over.
You
know
some
logistics
green
plant
history.
What
our
climate
action
planning
process
is
how
important
social
equity
is.
B
B
B
The
group
really
wanted
to
stay
within
the
10-year
time
frame
rather
than
20-35
aiming
for
2030
and
really
felt
that
this
short-term
goal
is
more
important
than
the
long-term
goal
and
some
of
the
ranges
stuart
had
mentioned
about
50
by
2030.
We
also
talked
in
a
range
from
30
to
70,
so
you
can
see
on
the
right
there's
some
other
goals
just
to
give
you
some
ideas.
So
our
our
green
plan
from
2010
was
30
to
2030.
B
It
was
more
of
a
midterm
goal
because
that
was
20
years
away
and
two
places
that
have
recently
updated
their
climate
action
plans
are
boyton
beach
and
the
memphis
area
and
these.
So
these
are
actually
new
numbers
for
2020
and
they
did
50
by
2035
and
51
for
2035.
I'll.
Also
just
share
that
columbia.
They
have
an
older
action
plan,
but
they're
at
28
by
2025,
so
that
just
gives
us
an
idea.
So
our
next
step
with
this
discussion
is
now
that
we
have
sort
of
a
foot
to
stand
on.
B
We
will
start
quantifying
the
proposed
action
items
and
putting
a
cost
to
them
and
then
revisit
these
admissions
goals
based
on
data
from
that
quantification.
So
we'll
use
metrics
to
inform
those
goals
and
we
revisit
them
and
again
once
those
goals
are
in
a
final
draft
form.
They'll
be
presented
to
this
committee
and
here's
the
long-term
goal:
discussion
aiming
for
net
zero
by
2050.
B
We
really
don't
know
what
it's
going
to
be
like
in
2050.
What
technology
will
be
like
so
typically,
a
climate
action
plan
isn't
a
strategy
towards
a
long-term
goal,
it's
more
towards
the
short-term
goal
and,
of
course,
the
importance
of
keeping
equity
and
fiscal
responsibility
and
science
at
the
center
of
creating
these
goals
in
our
planning
process,
and
you
can
see
on
the
right
some
of
the
long-term
goals
that
some
communities
have
adopted
and
our
current
goal
is
80
by
2050.
B
So
that
was
the
discussion
and
what
happens
next
is
we're
gonna
the
the
convene,
the
subcommittee
groups,
so
we
have
over
200
people
who
have
volunteered
to
be
on
these
subcommittees.
I
am
looking
forward
to
seeing
how
this
works
virtually,
but
we're
going
to
give
it
a
try,
we're
going
to
take
deeper
dives
into
the
subject
areas
and
and
create
some
proposed
strategies.
So
here's
an
again
the
public
input
opportunities.
B
So
if
anyone's
still
interested
in
volunteering,
you
can
let
me
know
there
will
also
be
another
public
meeting
and
another
survey
probably
coming
out
in
january
february
time
frame
once
we
have
some
draft
items
for
folks
to
review
and
you're,
of
course
welcome
to
reach
out
to
me.
If
you
have
any
other
feedback,
and
my
last
slide
here,
we're
running
a
little
over
is
just
an
estimated
timeline.
So
I'm
hoping
at
our
first
meeting
in
2021
we'll
be
able
to
go
over
that
draft
action
item
list.
B
You
will
be
receiving
some
emails
with
that
content
too.
So
you'll
have
a
chance
to
review
it
ahead
of
time
and
what
we'll
do
is
flag
the
action
items
that
we
would
like
to
discuss,
potentially
as
a
group,
and
we
can
talk
about
that
at
our
next
meeting
and
then
I'm
hoping
we
could
have
a
final
draft
plan
to
you,
potentially
by
our
second
meeting
in
2021.
B
D
Committee
members
well
well
katie
and
stuart.
You
all
have
done
a
fine
job
and
that
that's
that's.
Terrific
you've
got
200
volunteers
signing
up
on
those
sub
groups
and
it
looked
like
you
have
some
pretty
detailed
recommendations
already.
So,
as
you
all
refine
those
it
it'll
become
a
very
robust
and
meaningful
plan.
I
think.
D
B
D
Great
all
right
any
other,
any
other
business
or
comments
from
the
committee.
I
thank
you
all
for
your
service.
I
guess
that's
talking
about
the
schedule.
So
this
is
our
last
meeting
for
this
year.
We'll
get
back
together
in
january.
Is
that
right,
katie.
You
were
saying
yeah
any
any
further
business
hearing.
None!
We
stand
adjourned.
Thank
you
all
for
your
service.
