A
Awesome
thanks
jack
welcome,
okay,
anyone

that
was
all
great
all
right.
Moving
on,
we
will
proceed
with
our
agenda
thanks
everyone
for
being
here,
really
appreciate
it.
A

A

B
A
Excellent,
thank
you
kim.
Our
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
reading
of
our
land
acknowledgement
as
we
meet
here
today.
We
are
reminded
that
minneapolis
is
situated
situated
on
the
homelands
of
the
dakota
people,
an
area
that
is
steeped
in
rich
indigenous
history.
It
is
home
to
indigenous
people
from
more
than
30
30
different
nations.
As
a
city,
we
have
a
responsibility
to
care
for
the
land
on
which
we
live
and
work
in
all
its
natural
surroundings.
This
stewardship
is
an
integral
part
of
our
involvement
in
this
commission
and
we
honor
it.
O
O
So
that's
at
seven
online
and
I'll
share
a
link
for
that
and
then
also,
unfortunately,
at
six
o'clock.
Tpc
has
a
new
documentary
about
the
missing
and
murdered
indigenous
women
and
relatives
crisis
coming
out
and
they're
having
a
discussion
with
the
protagonist
of
the
film
but
then,
of
course,
it'll
be
available
premiering
on
tpt
on
monday
and
then
on
a
couple
other
times
next
week
and
I
assume
will
be
available
online.
A
B
I
think
you
just
wanted
there
was.
I
can
give
a
real
brief
update.
Last
week
at
the
council
meeting,
there
was
a
motion
that
passed
eight
to
five
by
the
council
to
stop
the
demolition
of
and
the
additional
progress
of,
moving
forward
on
the
revised
roof
depot
plan,
which
would
take
the
majority
of
the
site,
except
for
three
acres.
I
believe
in
the
southwest
corner
that
was
vetoed
by
the
mayor,
and
so
that
did
not
pass.
B
However,
there
was
additional
language
as
part
of
it,
which
provides
until
which
delays
the
demolition
until
this
summer
and
provides
these
phillips
community
and
the
others
working
on
it
until
the
end
of
june
to
come
back
with
a
proposal
for
potentially
the
whole
site.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
where
it's
at
right.
Now
I
haven't
heard
from
others
staff
wiser
things
as
to
what,
if
that
I
mean,
I
think
that
basically
puts
everything
on
hold
until
you
know
that
june
30th
time
frame
before
there's
any
additional
discussion
on
it.
G
B
E
M
I
know
one
of
the
big
things
was
that
like
14
million
dollars
had
been
spent
in
planning
on
what
was
going
to
be
done
on
that
site.
So
I
know
that
that
was
one
of
the
pieces
that
the
mayor
wanted
to
figure
out
of
how
how
that
14
million
dollar
was
gonna,
be
repaid,
like
I
don't
know
that
anybody
has
an
answer
for
that.
It
seems
like
a
big
hurdle.
A
O
O
B
I
know
that
there's
there's
a
tie
to
the
the
water
fund
because
that's
where
the
funding
was
lent
from
so
there
has
to
be
a
tie
somehow
to
the
use
whether
it
has
to
be
on
this
site
or
not.
I
think,
is
up
to
folks
to
determine
but
right,
if
there's
a
the
money's
invested
in
the
use
related
to
improving
the
water
system.
That
has
a
tie.
If
it's
not
related
to
that,
then
it
would
require
repayment.
A
Okay,
not
hearing
any
for
the
moment,
tess
and
kim
thanks
so
much
for
for
bringing
that.
So
we
will
now
move
into
our
guest
presenters
for
the
day.
Jack
levy
is
a
resident
of
minneapolis
who'd
like
to
talk
about
reducing
emissions
from
lawn
equipment
and
landscaping
equipment.
Some
of
you
may
have
read
boston,
a
boston
globe,
article
about
what
cities
are
doing
on
this
topic.
A
N
N
N
That
combined
with,
as
you
all
know,
in
addition
to
wind
and
solar
and
now
battery
systems
are
being
introduced,
and
the
fact
is
is
that
I
believe
that
within
five
years
we
are
going
to
switch
to
battery
power,
floors
and
lawnmowers.
And
what
have
you
so?
The
amount
of
emission
that's
gonna
happen
in
the
next
five
years
is
really
a
shame,
for
all
of
us
is
just
a
casualty
that
doesn't
need
to
happen.
N
A
Thanks
jack
yeah,
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
issue
and
I
think
it's
an
environmental
justice
issue,
because
the
fumes
that
are
emitted
by
this
lawn
care
equipment
are
really
just
terrible
for
human
health
and
a
lot
of
folks
who
work
in
the
landscape.
Landscaping
business
they're
not
getting
paid
very
much
in
likely
a
larger
proportion
of
bipod
folks.
So
I
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
forward.
Is
there
any
discussion
or
questions
for
jack.
B
Q
Yeah,
thanks
kim
and
thanks
jack
thanks
everyone
again,
I'm
bjorn
olson
with
the
city
of
minneapolis
sustainability
staff.
Yeah
I
mean
there
is
some
tangible
evidence
and-
and
you
know,
programs
that
have
existed
in
minnesota
that
are
focusing
on
this
exact
type
of
situation,
of
replacing
gas-powered,
lawn
care
equipment
with
electric
alternatives
and
the
most
predominant
one.
Q
Q
Those
particles
are
so
small
that
when
you
inhale
them,
they
literally
get
transferred
into
your
bloodstream.
So
that's
the
real
nasty
stuff
and-
and
really
these
are
the
same
kinds
of
I
mean
nationwide.
You
know
epa
wide.
These
are
criteria,
pollutants
of
importance
and
and
of
focus
because
of
the
disproportionate
effects
not
only
on
climate
and
the
environment,
but
on
human
health.
Q
Q
Q
Yeah,
I
mean
some
of
the
examples:
apple
valley,
eden,
prairie
cities,
bloomington
schools,
metropolitan
airport,
commission.
The
vast
vast
majority
of
grant
recipients
were
public
entities,
so
you
know,
while
that
means
that
government
is
kind
of
doing
its
due
diligence,
you
know
I
would.
I
would
highly
suspect
that
when
you
talk
about
older
dirtier
equipment,
that
is
running
more
hours
and
is
going
to
be
run
until
it
literally
falls
apart,
that
opportunity
still
exists
in
the
private
sector.
Q
To
do
this,
so
you
know,
while
we
don't
have
any
sort
of
confirmation
or
certainty
from
the
pollution
control
agency,
that
this
opportunity
will
will
come
around
again.
I
would
also
know
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
specifically
has
the
green
business
cost
share
program,
which
offers
45
percent
of
a
grant
match
for
pollution
reduction
projects
up
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
you
know,
is
there
a
need
for
this?
Yes,
is
there
an
opportunity
for
this?
Yes
and
have
previous?
Q
A
Q
Q
Q
We
could
flesh
out
the
details
with
our
friends
in
the
health
department,
but
that's
also
something
that
we
could.
We
have
control
over
that
I
mean
it's
our
program
right,
it's
the
city
of
minneapolis,
so
I
think
that
that
case
could
definitely
be
justified
and
definitely
be
made.
And
if
we
need
to
make
a
few
tweaks,
then
that's,
I
think
something
that
would
be
a
great
recommendation
to
come
from
this
group
and
something
that
we
would
have
tangible
lovers
of
of
influence
over.
B
Yeah,
that's
that's
kind
of
what
I
was
going
to
mention
that
while
we
do
have
the
eligibility
to
do
that,
we
don't
really
have
the
program
criteria
or
what
have
you
of
it
as
a
program.
So
it's
an
eligibility,
but
we
kind
of
have
to
look
at
a
separate
program
and
there's
some
work
that
jack
has
been
doing
reaching
out
and
working
with
patrick
hanlon
too,
but
yeah
any
recommendations.
H
N
I
guess
I
think
of
it
as
two
strategies:
one
is
the
stick.
The
other
one
is
the
carrot.
The
stick,
of
course,
is
a
band
which
is
problematic
first
of
all,
because
it
takes
a
long
time
and
secondly,
because
sometimes
it's
difficult
to
enforce
other
cities
have
taken
the
approach
that
if
they
can
have
things
like
grants
and
incentives
and
good
education
around
this,
as
one
of
you
mentioned,
you
know
these
are
people
who
already
are
not
making
a
lot
of
money,
and
here
they
are,
you
know
they're
closest
to
this.
A
E
E
N
Another
question:
well,
thank
you
for
the
question
I
could
go
on
about
that
for
quite
a
while,
but
in
summary
the
the
first
target
would
be
the
service
companies
because
they
are
actually
the
biggest
culprits.
They
work
long
hours
and
and
multiple
devices.
So
then
you
have
the
concentration
of
two
or
three
or
four
of
these
devices
staying
in
one
place
for
half
an
hour
to
an
hour
and
a
half
and
but
but
I
I
did
talk
to
somebody.
F
N
If
he
thought
about
switching
over
to
electric,
the
answer
was
he
had,
but
he
doesn't
think
it's
possible
because
they
work
all
days
and
these
batteries
don't
last
well
he's
right,
but
he's
also
unaware
of
the
fact
that
the
prices
of
these
batteries
have
come
down.
The
manufacturer
of
these
devices
have
been
very
clever
about
the
quick,
replace
I
mean
literally
it's.
N
G
Hi
thanks
so
much.
This
definitely
sounds
like
a
place
where
we
might
want
to
consider
a
ciac
letter
of
support.
I'm
curious-
and
maybe
this
is
more
for
bjorn
and
kim,
but
if
there
were,
could
we
suggest
something
along
the
lines
of
smaller
like
or
less
resourced
businesses
having
an
additional
incentive
through
the
green
cost
share
program,
or
maybe
businesses
with
more
minority
workers
just
to
help
make
sure
that
this
is
going
to
smaller
or
diverse
owned
businesses,
or
is
the
field
so
like?
Is
it
just
small
businesses?
B
I
was
I
I
haven't
done
a
lot
of
exploration
on
that
I
mean
I
think,
in
what
we're
looking
at
now
is
sort
of
the
commercialized
businesses
initially,
so
most
of
those
are
fairly
small,
but
I
still
think
we
should
make
recommendations
on,
like
you
said
around
that
area.
I
know
that
they
did
make
some
priorities
in
rankings
for
the
mpca
program
based
on
where
they
were
doing
their
work.
B
If
they
were
in
environmental
justice
communities
like
green
zones,
they
were
ranked
higher,
so
that
could
be
part
of
the
recommendations,
but
we're
still
in
development
right
now.
I
know
there's
also
there's
also
a
possibility
that
we
could.
You
know,
work
with
local
department,
store
our
department,
hardware
stores
and
potentially
do
this
on
a
residence
basis.
B
It
would
be
a
little
more
we'd
have
to
kind
of
figure
that
one
out
a
little
bit
more,
but
you
know
having
some
kind
of
point
of
sale
rebate
at
some
of
our
local
hardware
stores
for
electric
replacement
of
fossil
fuel.
You
know
gas
trimmers,
weed
trimmers,
I
that
kind
of
thing,
but
you
know
there's
also
the
discussion
too,
about
encouragement
of
using
you
know,
planting
lawns
that
require
less
use
of
equipment
in
general.
So,
whether
it's
electric
or
not,
you
know
you
don't
have
to
to
use
it.
R
Yeah
thanks
anna
first
of
all,
I'm
a
big
fan
of
electric
replacements
for
gas,
landscaping,
equipment
and
and
I've
I've.
All
of
my
equipment
is
electric
now
or
or
old-fashioned
real
type
lawn
mowers.
But
I
I
guess
a
question
for
the
the
group
you
know
a
personal
observation
of
mine
is
that
most
of
the
crews
that
are
doing
landscaping
tend
to
be
in
wealthier
neighborhoods,
as
opposed
to
you
know.
Maybe
the
the
smaller
homes
smaller
yards,
where
less
wealthy
residents
reside.
R
A
R
P
Hi
yeah,
I
I
definitely
hear
and
understand
that
comment,
but
I
work
in
kind
of
incentivizing
folks
to
to
take
on
projects
that
are
voluntary
and
very
often
they
need
that
financial
incentive
in
order
to
be
motivated
to
do
it,
and
there
might
also
be
a
fear
of
losing
business
if
they
were
to
raise
costs
on
those
customers.
So
I
would
personally
probably
advocate
for
the
the
carrot
approach
as
well.
P
The
only
other
comment
I
wanted
to
make
is
just
with
the
green
cost
share
program,
ensuring
that
there
are
either
organizations
or
if
the
city
provides
folks
that
will
provide
assistance
in
filling
out
those
applications,
just
kind
of
knowing
that
that
can
be
a
big
challenge
to
figure
out
how
to
fill
out
those
applications,
specifically
if
a
business
might
have
a
first
language
other
than
english
as
well.
So
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there.
B
B
B
A
A
Q
B
B
A
A
Cool
all
right.
Well
with
that,
I
think
we
were
teed
up
for
a
presentation
from
hennepin
county
on
their
climate
action
plan,
which
I
know
they
have
put
a
lot
of
work
and
time
into
it
over
the
last
I
don't
know
took
a
long
time.
I
think,
because
it
was
thoroughly
vetted
with,
I
think,
every
department
in
the
county,
so
I
will
hand
it
over
to
them
to
talk
about
it.
L
K
L
So
I
don't
know
if
some
of
you
are
familiar
with
this
scenario:
planning
through
our
climate
action
plan,
hennepin
county
committed
to
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
45
from
2010
levels
by
2030
and
achieving
a
net
zero
emissions
by
2050,
both
in
the
county's
operations
and
geographically,
and
as
you
can
see
in
this
wedge
diagram,
we
are
presented
with
scenario
planning
of
how
we
could
reach
this
emissions
reduction
goal.
County-Wide.
L
L
To
achieve
this
vision,
our
plan
observes
two
key
goals:
the
first
one
focuses
on
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
the
second
seeks
to
adapt
the
mitigate
to
the
effects
of
climate
change,
but
both
of
these
goals
share
a
disparity
reduction
lens.
As
you
know.
Well,
there
is
a
high
correlation
between
socioeconomic
vulnerabilities
and
the
effects
of
climate
change.
In
other
words,
lack
of
access
to
equitable
transportation,
housing
and
health
services
are
more
make
communities
more
vulnerable
to
climatic
change.
L
These
seven
strategies,
as
I
mentioned
before,
were
identified
by
our
staff
as
the
best
place.
To
start
our
work
and
we
call
them
foundational
strategies,
so
I
wanted
to
share
briefly
some
of
the
work
that
we've
been
working
on
to
advance
this
foundational
strategy.
So
we
have
implemented
a
small,
green
jobs
and
tree
canopy
expansion
project
we're
currently
developing
a
project
with
our
tax
forfeited
land.
L
We
are
also
working
with
u
of
m
on
an
urban
agriculture
youth
program.
This
is
meant
to
transform
vacant
urban
lots
into
community
gardens
and
we
are
hoping
to
engage
with
over
30
youth
and
their
families
in
north
minneapolis
to
promote
urban
agriculture
farming.
They
would
be
providing
provided
training
to
become
master
gardeners
and
they
would
be
provided
leadership
skills,
and
this
would
be
in
partnership
with,
u
of
m
extension,
we're
also
working
on
supporting
the
the
anaerobic
digester
rfp.
That
is
ongoing,
and
this
would
be
taking
place
in
brooklyn
park.
L
We're
also
working
on
updating
our
vmt
reduction
goal.
So
we
are
currently
overseeing
a
consultancy
that
will
help
us
develop
a
baseline
study,
as
well
as
a
matrix
of
strategies
to
reduce
vmt
and
scenario
planning
to
assess
the
best
way
of
achieving
a
the
most
successful
goal
to
reduce
vmt
at
a
county-wide
level.
L
And
then
I
will
also
share
a
bit
of
our
ev
strategy
further
along
this
presentation.
But
I
can
share
briefly
that
we've
identified
a
green
strategy
for
our
internal
fleet
and
we
are
currently
coordinating
with
some
cities
to
hopefully
facilitate
a
conversation
about
launching
navy
car,
shared
services
and
potentially
ev
infrastructure
as
well.
L
We
worked
in
partnership
with
u
of
m
and
they
completed
an
ev
fleet
conversion
study
for
hennepin
county,
so
in
2021
the
board
solidified
our
direction
in
the
fleet
transition
by
establishing
two
key
targets.
The
first
one
was
to
convert
a
minimum
of
twenty
percent
of
the
county's
light
duty
fleet
vehicle
to
electric
and
fifty
percent
to
high
rate
by
twenty
thirty
and
then
the
second
target
is
to
achieve
a
net
zero
emissions
by
county
fleet
by
2050..
L
So
to
date
we
have
about
four
evs.
You
know
our
fleet
and
51
hybrids
and
by
2021
in
2021
30
light
duty
vehicles
were
replaced
with
vehicles
across
six
departments
with
new
hybrids
and
we
reached
over
a
90
ton
reduction
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
we're
also
trying
to
expand
our
charging
stations
infrastructure
across
facilities.
L
L
So
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
the
work
that
we're
doing
on
the
vmt.
This
is
a
map
that
our
consultancy
firm
developer,
has
to
assess.
Where
are
the
areas
across
the
county
that
have
highest
vmt,
so
vehicle
miles?
Travel
as
as
you
can
see,
minneapolis
shows
the
highest
amount
and
that's
understandable,
because
it's
the
highest
urban
area
within
the
county.
L
But
so
at
this
point
we
have
a
baseline,
which
is
very
helpful
and
we're
expecting
to
have
a
matrix
of
strategies
to
reduce
vmt,
and
we
are
obviously
considering
diversity
of
strategies,
so
anything
from
you
know
tdm
to
different
resilient
hubs
or
any
any
capacity
that
we
could
look
into
potentially
investing
on
eb
infrastructure
deployment
and
so
on.
So
I
think
that
this
would
be
an
interesting
piece
of
conversation
in
the
future
for
you
or
for
us,
so
I'd
love
to
keep
you
updated
on
on
the
process.
K
Hi
everyone
I'm
just
going
to
touch
base
a
little
bit
on
some
of
our
energy
reduction
goals
that
we
have,
and
this
probably
isn't
all
exhaustive
of
what
we're
doing.
But
it's
it's
definitely
a
starting
point,
as
we've
just
had
our
climate
action
plan
improved
for
just
over
a
year
now.
So,
as
many
of
you
know,
we
are
already
in
the
process
and
actually
have
already
implemented
an
efficient
buildings
collaborative
and
it,
and
it
does
kind
of
model
the
same.
K
The
model
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
does,
where
we're
requiring
large-scale
commercial
buildings
and
multi-family
buildings
to
to
disclose
their
energy
use,
and-
and
this
is
something
that
we
do
not
have
policy
authority
to
require
throughout
the
hennepin
county.
But
we
do
provide
the
technical
support
for
cities
to
adapt
that
policy
themselves,
and
so
we're
really
trying
to
encourage
cities
within
hennepin
county
to
to
make
that
that
step
and
pass
that
policy.
K
Some
of
the
things
that
we're
working
on
internally
are
our
facility
services
department
that
manages
and
operates.
The
majority
of
the
henneman
county
buildings
is
looking
to
complete
a
building
decarbonization
study.
What
is
it
going
to
take
to
really
reduce
carbon
in
our
buildings?
How
are
we
going
gonna?
K
K
So
that's
happening
this
year
and
we
have
and
always
have
followed
the
b3
guidelines
for
most
of
our
building
development,
and
so
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
that
and
actually
look
to
see
if
we
can
expand
on
that
and
even
look
to
prioritize
net
zero
buildings
in
the
future.
When
we
reconstruct
them
and
then
I
think
a
lot
of
people
know
about
our
energy
plant
that
we
have.
We
have
the
henneman
county
energy
center
downtown
minneapolis.
K
It
does
supply
a
majority
of
the
buildings
that
henneman
county
owns
and
operates
there
with
steam
and
chilled
water.
We're
going
to
look
at
strategies
and
create
a
plan
to
decarbonize
that
so
we'd
like
to
have
that
building
carbon
neutral
in
the
future.
And
so
that's
going
to
be
a
pretty
big
undertaking.
K
And
all
these
things
here
are
really
going
to
contribute
to
our
key
metrics
that
we
have
identified
in
our
climate
action
plan,
two
of
which
diana
already
mentioned,
which
is
a
45
reduction
of
greenhouse
gases
by
2030
carbon
zero
by
2050,
and
then
carbon
neutral
electricity
by
2035
and
a
three
percent
angel
reduction
goal
in
our
energy
use.
For
our
buildings
is
an
ongoing
metric
that
we
have
every
year
next
slide.
K
So
obviously,
going
to
renewable
energy
is
a
one
of
our
key
aspects
in
trying
to
reduce
our
greenhouse
gases.
We
have
a
new
solar
installation
coming
on
board.
Hopefully
this
year
in
2022,
it's
a
ground
mount
system.
It's
a
fairly
large
one,
going
on
in
our
adult
correctional
facility.
It's
going
to
be
ground
mount.
K
K
K
You
know
with
different
plantings
and-
and
you
know,
obviously
you
can
see
on
here
cisterns
and
things
like
that,
really
looking
at
green
infrastructure,
you
know:
how
can
we
really
reduce
the
heat
island
effect
with
green
infrastructure
really
trying
to
capture
some
of
that
water
on
site
repurpose
it
one
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
a
lot
more
of
and
really
trying
to
focus
on
this
year?
Is
you
know
how
do
we
incorporate
and
actually
preserve
carbon
sequestration
on
our
facilities
on
our
properties?
K
Thaw
effects
the
impacts
on
our
buildings,
the
use
of
salt,
the
use
of
machinery
that
takes
to
mitigate
that,
and
so
we're
going
to
look
at
how
we
can
better
landscape
our
buildings,
and
you
know
better,
provide
green
infrastructure
to
mitigate
those
free
freeze,
thaw
effects.
So
we're
really
looking
to
reduce
these
impacts
of
climate
change
on
our
county
facilities
in
the
future.
L
L
So
we
are
in
the
process
of
developing
a
task,
flexible
gis
hub
to
use
as
a
planning
tool
to
assess
vulnerable
vulnerability
across
communities,
and
so
what
you're
seeing
here
is
an
example
and
honestly,
the
origin
of
this
project,
which
is
our
climate
change,
vulnerabilities
map,
which
is
taking
data
from
the
cdc
svi,
but
we're
also
co-designing
different
dashboards,
actually
leah.
That's
here
today
developed
a
greenhouse
gas
emission
power,
bi
dashboard
to
assess
internal
annual
carbon
emissions,
and
I
think
we
have
data
coming
back
from
2005
all
the
way
to
today.
L
Hopefully
around
may
and
their
work
will
will
really
help
us
assess
how
we
should
be
coordinating
and
engaging
and
learning
from
the
capacities
of
the
communities
that
we
seek
to
serve.
So
with
that.
I
thank
you
for
your
time
and
if
you
have
any
questions
leah-
and
I
are
here
to
respond-
we're
looking
forward
to
your
comments.
Thank
you.
A
O
I
noticed
that
sequestration
was
a
pretty
significant
portion
and
you
talked
a
little
bit
about
some
of
that.
I
was
just
wondering
if
all
of
that
is
planned
to
be
the
sort
of
tree
planting
and
ecologically
based
sequestration
strategies.
That's
question
number
one
on
the
ev
fleet,
I
was
just
wondering
you
gave
some
great
numbers,
but
didn't
say
what
the
total
number
is.
So
it's
a
little
hard
to
assess
how
much
that
is
compared
to
the
full
fleet
on
the
conservation
easements.
O
K
I
can
take
the
carbon
sequestration
one
deanna
so,
like
I
said
we
are
just
in
the
beginning
stages
of
trying
to
even
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
approach
carbon
sequestration
and
so
we're
the
easiest
ones
are.
Obviously
you
know
planting
more
trees
and
you
know
doing
that
type
of
stuff,
but
I
don't
think
that's
going
to
get
us
all
the
way,
so
I
think
we're
going
to
look
at
expanding
technology.
K
I
know
we've
looked
at,
you
know
different
ways
to
capture
carbon
in
you
know
boiler
exhaust,
but
you
know
with
boilers
going
to
electric.
That's
probably
not
going
to
be
a
good
idea,
so
I
think
we're
going
to
be
open
to
opportunities,
and
you
know,
opportunities
to
partner
with
city
minneapolis
to
evaluate
different
strategies,
but
this
is.
This
is
just
a
starting
conversation
at
this
point
in
time
in
carbon
sequestration.
So
yeah,
I
don't
think
we
have
all
the
answers.
Quite
yet.
O
K
Carbon
sequestration
is
a
little
bit
more
gray
in
that
one
is
we're
still
kind
of
trying
to
figure
all
those
out,
but
I
think
that
portion
of
it
is
is
more
or
less
kind
of
what's
remaining
based
on
the
things
that
we've
already
identified
and
that
was
put
together
by
a
consultant.
So
I
could
probably
go
back
and
find
exactly
what
numbers
they
used.
L
Yeah
and
maybe
I
can
respond
to
the
question
about
fleet
services,
so
the
county
has
a
total
amount
of
units
of
710
units
on
its
internal
fleet.
So
really
the
projection
is
that
by
2030
we
should
have
250
electric
units
and
160
hybrid
units.
Right
now
we
have
less
than
20
hybrid
units
and
less
than
10
electric
units.
So
this
is
that's.
That's
part
of
the
work.
L
C
C
E
F
E
L
So
yes,
so
that
the
fleet
is
quite
varied
and
then,
regarding
your
point
on
the
zero
waste
work.
This
is.
This
is
a
piece
of
work
that
is
being
led
by
environment
and
energy
and
I
believe
that
right
now
we're
in
the
process
of
developing
an
rfp
and
finding
a
consultant
firm.
That
will
help
us
assess
that
strategy
and
truly,
I
think
that
the
work
is
meant
to
be
done
with
communities,
so
will
most
likely
coordinate
with
community-based
agencies,
municipalities
and
school
districts.
K
If
it
was
possible-
and
you
know
decided
if
we
needed-
you
know
the
f-250s
or
the
f-150s,
so
we
actually
went
through
the
process
of
actually
right-siding
our
fleet
already
so
hopefully,
even
with
that
process,
we'll
we'll
hopefully
be
reducing
some.
You
know
emissions
from
making
sure
we're
right-siding
our
fleet.
So
I
think
that
was
really
actually
very
helpful
for
us
to
to
go
through
that
study
and
if
anyone
hasn't
already
done
that,
I
highly
recommend
that
yeah,
I
gotta.
K
K
Oh,
I
was
just
gonna.
I
know
that
our
organics
and
recycling
staff
have
already
been
working
with
the
schools
to
collect
some
of
their
organics.
I
don't
know
if
they're
actually
doing
a
full.
I
would
assume
that
that
would
extend
to
you
know
like
leftover,
food
and
stuff
like
that
getting
thrown
into
the
recycling
or
the
organics
recycling,
but
I
know
they've
already
been
working
a
lot
with
the
schools
within
hennepin
county
to
start
doing
that
process
and
getting
schools
up
to
speed
on
that
and
getting
some
recycling
organic
recycling
put
in
there.
L
And
and
just
to
clarify
to
the
the
climate
action
plan
has
been
implemented,
I
would
say
on
parallel
with
a
lot
of
different
work
that
is
happening
across
the
county,
and
part
of
it
is
also
understanding
what's
on
the
ground
so
to
to
the
point
of
the
zero
waste
work
that
was
ongoing
same
with
the
anaerobic
digester,
and
so
the
food
rescue
plan
is
part
of
it
as
well,
and
there
are
some
ongoing,
really
cool
projects
like
the
priceless
produce
program.
That
is
in
coordination
with
different.
L
E
Moving,
oh,
I
know
the
question
was:
what
are
you
doing
with
the
cars
or
the
vehicles
once
you
retire
them?
Are
you
selling
them
or
where?
Where
are
they
going?
Are
they
getting
dismantled?
So
that's
a
question
that
I
have
with
everybody
when
we're
going
into
this
electrification
and
decarbonization
is
about
the
waste
that
we're
collecting
and
where
is
that
going
and
that's
that's
the
question
I
had.
E
So
doesn't
that
kind
of
counteract
what
you're
doing
as
far
as
your
your
goal
to
cut
it
down,
but
then
the
same
vehicles
that
you're
upgrading
in
the
in
in
this
space
but
you're
putting
back
the
same
vehicles
that
you're
trying
to
change.
So
it's
it's
kind
of
like
you're.
Still
it's
it's
not
even
changing,
because
the
vehicles
that
were
changed
does
am
I
saying
it
right.
So
I
have
this
idea.
K
Where
your
point
is,
we
should
we
should
circle
back
with
them
and
find
out
what
they're
doing
you
know
what's
what's
happening
there.
You
know,
I
think
the
biggest
draw
here
is
just
to
make
sure
that
there's
less
demand
for
those
gas
guzzling
cars
and
that's
a
community
action
that
we
all
need
to
you
know
be
a
part
of
is
to
see
if
we
can
get
less
demand
for
those
in
in
general,
but
yeah.
I
think
that's
a
that's
a
good
thing
to
circle
back
with.
A
But
I
have
I
have
a
question
follow-up
question
about
fleets
and
that
just
feels
like
some
of
the
lowest
hanging
fruit
and
also
it's
super
cost
effective
to
to
purchase
electric
vehicles
and
the
goal
of
like
I
forget
what
it
was
if
it
was
like.
30
percent
by
2030.
Evs
strikes
me
as
like
kind
of
kind
of
low,
considering
that
could
that
it's
just
like
a
cost-effective
and
quite
a
jump
in
emissions
reductions
with
every
electric
vehicle.
A
So
I'm
curious,
if
there's
room,
to
be
a
little
bit
more
ambitious
with
that
and
to
especially
with
like,
like
duty
vehicles,
just
bypass
purchasing
hybrids
and
go
straight
to
electric
and
and
if
there's
a
like
an
opportunity
to
and
sort
of
willingness
within
the
department
to
recognize
those
benefits
and
not
stick
exactly
to
the
goals
of
the
plan.
If
they
can
do
better
than
that,.
L
Yeah
and
I
and
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
energy
too,
but
there
are
some
more
structural
barriers
so
and-
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
respond
without
having
the
expert
here
that
would
be
jay
if
I'll
win
from
transportation.
But
I
think
that
he
would
probably
say
that
the
main
issues
that
supply
is
still
limited
and
there's
a
whole
line
of
different
agencies
and
and
municipalities
waiting
for
supply
and
then
that
that
creates
delays.
L
So
I
know
that
we're
waiting
right
now
for
cars
at
this
at
this
moment
for
vehicles
and
that
that's
also
related
to
limited
charging
infrastructure.
That
is
also
the
lead.
So
I
think
that's
the
main,
the
main
issue
and
then
with
maintenance
concerns.
I
think
the
uniqueness
of
electric
models
and
powertrains
and
the
coast
to
replace
battery
components.
So
we
need
people
that
are,
you
know,
equipped
to
to
be
ready
to
maintain
the
the
av
charging
stations
and
the
new
equipment.
So
that
might
take
a
little
more
on.
L
You
know
preparing
staff
for
that
piece
and
that
could
also
be
an
opportunity
for
green
jobs
in
the
future
that
might
take
a
little
longer
and
then,
in
addition
to
your
question,
so
you're
you're,
probably
aware
of
the
nebby
program
and
the
upcoming
infrastructure
bill
that
is
focused
solely
on
you
know
tv
cars
and
and
ev
charging
infrastructure
deployment.
So
we
are
currently
coordinating
with
a
cohort
of
cities
through
cn
the
community
energy
network.
L
Is
that
right
and
gpi?
So
we
put
together
a
number
of
cities
to
talk
about
this
and
facilitate
the
access
to
these
services,
because
some
of
these
cities
are
really
excited
and
I
think
they're
really
energized
and
some
of
them
even
have
funding
to
buy
ev
charging
stations.
But
we
want
to
coordinate
so
that
we
don't.
L
You
know,
create
more
barriers
and
increase
disparity.
Someone
said
at
some
point
in
in
this
meeting
that
there's
fear
of
increasing
disparities
and
not
having
the
right
people
at
the
table,
and
you
know
not
providing
support
to
cities
that
may
not
have
resources
and
sustainability
directors,
for
example.
So
that's
part
of
the
the
other
piece
of
our
work
that
and
maybe
didn't
include
in
the
slides.
But
it's
it's
really
important
too.
F
O
O
But
if
we're
investing
in
charging
infrastructure
anyway,
you
know
making
that
something
that
the
public
can
access
would
be
a
huge
step
to
lowering
public
adoption
of
electric
vehicles,
and
then
I
was
going
to
just
ask
these
as
you're
going
through
the
slides,
but
I
didn't
want
to
interrupt.
I
was
still
wondering
on
the
conservation
easements.
L
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question,
and
so
actually
we
have,
if
you
read
the
climate
action
plan,
there's
a
huge
goal
of
planting
one
million
trees
by
2050,
and
so
to
do
that.
We've
been
coordinating
with
different
entities,
including,
u
of
m,
to
help
us
develop
a
road
map,
and
so
one
of
the
key
things
that
our
foresters
developed
was
a
really
cool
gis
map
to
assess
areas
of
priority
based
on
where
those
communities
of
interest
so
with
climate,
vulnerable
communities.
L
K
K
K
Okay
yeah,
so
I
mean
and
deanna
you
can
take
this
on,
but
I
know
we're
looking
to
to
evaluate
what
charging
station
infrastructure
is
needed
in
hennepin
county
as
a
region
and
make
sure
that
we
make
it
equitable
and
evenly
distributed
throughout
the
county.
And
that
has
been
something
that
has
been
a
priority
for
hanbok
county.
K
O
Q
Q
Q
But
I
was
intrigued
by
the
light
blue
local,
renewable
energy,
which
is
like
the
fourth
down
from
the
top,
and
it
looks
like
starting
around
kind
of
like
2035
2040,
it's
kind
of
getting
squeezed
out,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there
was
like
kind
of
a
story
line
behind
that,
because
I
know
that
you
know
local
renewable
energy
generation
is
is
a
big
proponent
of
what
we're
doing
in
minneapolis.
Not
only
you
know
to
reduce
our
emissions,
but
also
the
equity
component.
Related
to
that.
K
K
So
I
think
if
we
want
to
you
know,
if
we
really
want
to
get
out
there
and
put
solar
on
now
now's
the
time
to
do
it,
because
I
think
the
the
need
from
the
utility
for
us
to
have
distributed
solar
is
going
to
become
less
and
less
of
a
need,
as
they
invest
in
more
and
more
large-scale
renewable
energy
sources.
So
I
think
it
is
kind
of
a
critical
time
for
us
to
maximize
that
opportunity.
K
Now,
before
the
opportunity
is
gone
and
we're
already
seeing
that
you
know
the
utility
companies
don't
really
want
to
support
community
solar
gardens,
they
would
rather
just
they
would
rather
support
big
large-scale
utility,
wind
source
farms,
and
you
know
those
type
of
things,
and
so
we're
already
seeing
the
utility
companies
really
want
to
squeeze
out
these.
These
smaller
distributed
solar
systems,
but
I
I
think
that
they're
part
of
the
mix
and
I
think
they're
a
valuable
asset
to
the
community,
and
I
think
that
we
want
to
you
know,
continue
to
invest
in
them.
A
I
K
Yeah
we
have
it,
I
don't
think
we've
we've
opened
up
those
doors.
Quite
yet,
I
think
we're
looking
to
partner
with
the
utility
companies
that
are
providing
the
infrastructure
for
a
lot
of
these
charging
stations,
and
then
you
know
recognizing
that
there's
a
competitive
market
out
there
that
needs
to
be
maintained.
K
So
we
don't
want
to
you
know
sole
source
charging
stations,
but
then
also
looking
to
see,
if
there's
ways
to
maximize
that-
and
you
know
the
the
benefit
that
it
brings
to
the
the
owners
of
these
charging
stations-
and
you
know
do
they
want
to
be.
You
know
more
or
less
considered
a
a
developer
of
these
these
opportunities.
So
I
think
that's
going
to
be
down
the
road
and
opportunity
that
we'll
be
able
to
partner
with
them.
K
Well,
the
the
goal
is
going
to
be
similar
to
the
efficient
buildings
collaborative
and
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
legislative
policy
to
provide
policies
to
the
cities.
So
we
can
support
the
cities
by
providing
the
you
know
by
taking
down
the
barriers
that
they
have
to
to
actually
implement
sustainable
building
policies.
And
so
what
we're
really
trying
to
do
is
just
try
to
make
it
easier
for
cities
to
adopt
those
policies,
because
we
don't
have
the
legislative
authority
to
actually
require
cities
to
do
that.
K
So
we
do
have
that
limitation
as
a
county,
but
we
do
have
a
big
role
in
the
fact
that
we
can
provide.
You
know,
support
in
programs,
and
you
know
possibly
even
some
financial
incentives
and
stuff
like
that
to
the
cities.
You
know
as
we're
working
through
trying
to
incentivize
some
of
these.
You
know
policies
and
these
movements
throughout
the
cities
really
trying
to
focus
on
some
of
the
underserved
cities.
A
Thank
you
for
I
appreciate
that
is
that
was
that
did
that
help.
Hopefully
it
did
yeah,
but
I
am
also
curious
if
I
I've
no,
it
never
occurred
to
me
for
a
county
itself
to
adopt
a
sustainable
building
policy
and
if,
if
that's
like,
you
know,
jurisdictionally
an
option,
I
know
that
you
have
to
match
building
codes
in
general,
but
yeah.
K
I
think
the
role
that
we
might
play
is
helping
to
support
a
statewide
adoption
of
some
sort
of
sustainable
building
code
or
stretch
code,
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
that
going
through
the
legislation
right
now,
and
I
think
I
I
see
that
we
could,
you
know,
play
a
voice
in
that,
and
you
know
hopefully
try
to
encourage
something
like
that
to
be
a
future
option
for
cities
from
a
legislative
standpoint.
I
think
that
would
be
great,
otherwise
yeah
we'd
have
to
support.
K
A
A
A
Awesome
well,
thank
you
in
my
day
time
job.
I
work
for
an
organization
that
advocates
for
building
policies
at
the
legislature,
so
I
will
follow
up
with
you
to
talk
about
helping
to
advocate
there
great
yeah.
I
I
also
would
be
remiss
not
to
to
ask
about
the
herc
and
plans
for
that.
I
know
it's
only
technically,
I
think
it's
like
either
one
or
three
percent
of
emissions,
but
it's
of
great
environmental
justice
concern
for
the
community
and
citywide
in
minneapolis.
K
That
we
could
be
opening
up
a
can
of
worms
here,
but
I
think
we're
looking
to
you
know
see
to
verify
our
impacts
on
the
greenhouse
gases
and
look
to
see
what's
more
impactful,
closing
down
herc
or
sending
waste
to
a
landfill,
and
I
think
we're
we're
making
sure
that
we
want
to
try
and
maintain
that
and
and
do
those
evaluations
and
make
sure
we're
accurate
on
that
before
we
make
any
conclusive
decisions
on
how
to
move
forward
with
any
of
the
herc
that
you
know,
speaking
from
people
that
aren't
here.
Unfortunately.
K
L
Yeah,
so
I
think
the
conversation
of
the
commission
in
herc
is
pretty
early
at
this
point.
Actually
today,
during
the
board
briefing,
there
was
support
for
actually
creating
pathways
for
people
coming
in
and
working
and
bringing
some
diversity
within
jobs
for
the
herc.
So
I
don't
have
much
information,
but
we
can
bring
some
information
back
if
that's
helpful.
E
I
have
a
question
about
that
because
not
just
I
understand
that's,
not
your
area,
but
have
you
heard
of
talks
of
changing
the
air
monitoring
in
that
in
that
facility
because
of
the
burning
of
the
plastics
and
then
I'm
gonna
leave
it
right
there,
that's
it,
but
I
know
that's
not
what
you
guys
do,
but
I
was
just
wanting
because
of
not
decommissioning
it,
maybe
monitoring
it
properly
with
the
things
that
are
being
burnt.
That's
my
thing.
K
Yeah
and
I
obviously
I'm
not
the
expert
on
that
I've
seen
some
of
the
reports,
I
I
my
understanding
from
the
experts
that
operate
that
plant
that
we're
we're
monitoring
it,
but
I
I'm
not
the
expert
on
it.
So
I
probably
could
not
speak
and
answer
your
your
question
accurately.
So,
but
my
understanding
is
that
we
are
monitoring
it
and
it's
actually
been
reported
to
the
the
pca,
and
we
do
that
on
a
regular
basis
and
that
data
is
available
publicly
and
that's
something
that
you
could.
K
E
A
A
F
A
A
D
B
D
B
B
I
R
I
B
D
I
B
N
B
G
F
B
H
A
H
This
is
us,
so
actually
what's
happening.
Is
the
green
zone
summit
is
happening
as
part
of
the
community
connections
conference?
So,
if
seak
is
going
to
be
participating,
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
join
in
with
the
green
zone
summit
as
opposed
to
having
like
our
own
table
got.
It
is
my
recommendation.
B
E
Well,
as
you
know,
we
have
a
new
vista,
volunteer
and
she's
been
organizing
the
agenda
and
it's
kind
of
complicated,
but
moving
off
of
that,
I
was
going
to
reach
out
to
anna
and
aaron
because
they
both
said
that
they
would
help
with
the
wordage
to
make
sure
that
it's
proper
for
the
contest
that
I've
created
for
a
billboard.
So
I
was
awarded
two
billboards
for
the
green
zones,
I'm
using
one
of
them
for
a
contest
for
the
youth
for
the
ages
of
18
to
14.
E
what
environmental
justice
means
to
them
and
have
it
a
billboard
contest
someone
donated
five
hundred
dollars
for
the
first
prize,
also
the
sierra
club,
what
I
thought
for
all
the
contestants
was
to
create
a
minneapolis
north
side,
green
zone,
environmental
coloring
book
for
the
contestants
to
have
their
work
put
in
the
coloring
book,
with
maybe
the
civil
rights
amendment
clean
air
act.
You
know
these
different
laws
and
entities
in
there
to
create
it.
The
first
coloring
book
for
the
those
that
didn't
win.
E
So
that's
my
role
in
it
and
we're
also
going
to
blast
it
on
the
radio
stations.
We
do
have
a
little
money
and
we're
debating
which
radio
stations
to
put
on
kmoj-
I
heart
radio.
We
talked
to
them
in
some
several
other
ones,
but
I
created
a
communication
group
and
it
seems
like
I'm
the
only
one
on
there.
E
The
vista
angela
was
helping
me,
but
I'm
redoing
it
and
making
it
more
detailed.
So
people
don't
expect
the
city
to
take
over
their
thing
or
all
the
other
little
institutes
that
go
into
artists
minds
as
this
movie
process,
so
I'll
be
reaching
out
to
you.
What
I
have
so
far,
and
hopefully
that
you
guys
can
help
me
put
it
in
a
nice
wordage
that
it's
city
friendly
for
the
green
zones,
because
we
are
entity
under
the
city
and
be
respectable
for
the
community.
E
And
I
appreciate
you,
ladies
for
saying
that
you
would
help
me
in
this,
but
looking
forward
to
having
this
be
something
different
for
the
first
time
and
see
how
it
goes.
But
I'm
just
excited
about
the
billboards
and
getting
the
youth
input
into
what
they
feel
environmental
justice
means
to
them.
So.
O
Yeah
so
that
all
sounds
fantastic.
My
impression
is
that
the
community
connections
conference
is
more
of
an
exhibition
than
like
what
you
might
typically
think
of
as
a
conference
where
all
sorts
of
entities
have
a
booth
and
basically
people
come
and
see
them
and
talk
to
them.
So
I'm
not
clear
exactly
how
that
fits
in
with
the
green
zone
summit
and
whether
like
how
that
interacts
with
the.
F
O
E
E
The
green
zone
summit
and
they'll
have
breakout
rooms
in
there,
so
we're
going
to
be
having
breakout
rooms
and
do
an
introduction
of
the
green
zones
and
have
a
couple
of
speakers,
but
we'll
basically
have
breakout
rooms,
so
we're
kind
of
next
door
to
them,
but
we've
also
invited
hopefully
inviting
people
that
are
non-profit.
So
everybody
has
a
voice
into
this,
so
it
was
supposed
to
be
a
collaboration
of
all
the
non-profits
environmental
justice
groups
in
the
city,
so
we
know
who's
who
so
we
out
of
this.
E
E
A
H
Yeah,
so
we
have
had
a
table
in
the
past
and
I
would
say
that
it's
not
necessarily
the
most
helpful
for
c
itself
to
be
tabling.
I
have
found
more
success
when
we've
been
with
like
the
sustainability
division,
or
you
know
some
other
division
of
the
city,
so
that
you
know
that
we're
also
with
city
staff
people
who
are
able
to
connect
with
people
on
a
daily
basis
around
some
of
these
topics.
H
It's
helpful
to
have
a
presence
just
so
people
know
that
we
exist,
but
in
terms
of
actually
being
helpful
and
providing
something
during
the
conference,
I
feel
like
being
partnered
with
the
sustainability
division
has
worked
better
in
the
past.
I'm
also
just
I
guess,
reflecting
on
what
ciac
has
done
in
the
past.
H
C
Yeah,
I
think
it's
worth
noting
that
there
is
actual
conference
content
that
just
there's
nothing
posted
about
it.
Yet,
at
least
in
the
past
there
has
been
usually
it's
like
four
tracks.
It's
very
much
focused
on
neighborhood
efforts.
So
there'll
be
you
know
there
might
be
a
track
talking
about
housing
and
public
safety.
There
might
be
a
track
talking
about
transportation
and
sustainability
issues,
things
like
that
and
then
it's
usually
a
combination
of
city
staff
and
and
neighborhood
associations
and
other
folks
that
are
presenting
that
that
work.
C
But
then
tess
your
perception
is
not
wrong.
That
there's
also
a
very
huge
focus
on
the
exhibition,
but
it's
the
the
point
of
the
exhibition
is
really
kind
of
like
a
get
to
know
everything
the
city
can
do
for
you
kind
of
thing.
It's
it's
dominated
by
city
departments
and
non-profits
that
provide
services
in
specific
parts
of
the
city
and
things
like
that.
H
Besides,
the
exhibition,
like
in
past
years,
they've
had
a
conversation
about
upper
harbor
terminal
and
had
those
conversations
at
like
small
groups
at
different
tables
with
council
members
and
stuff.
So
I'm
not
sure
you
know
what
the
plan
might
be
this
time
around,
especially
with
the
shorter
term
that
most
of
the
council
members
have
all
the
council.
Members
have
right
now.
B
Yeah,
I'm
just
gonna
agree
with
all
that
that
was
being
said
there
and
just
we
made
a
decision
within
sustainability
that
we
were
going
to
try
to
focus
on
this.
The
green
zone
summit
as
our
sort
of
contribution
to
the
to
the
community
connections
conference.
So
we've
as
leslie
said,
get
a
number
of
staff.
People
already
kind
of
engage
on
that,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
fairly
robust
series
of
of
meetings
and
and
round
tables.
B
A
C
F
I
M
C
Yeah
yeah
they're
they're
two,
I
think
they're
they
are
related
projects,
they're
they're,
pretty
different
stages.
The
the
252
project
has
some
money
already
identified
and
it's
really
being
shepherded
primarily
by
a
couple
of
the
north,
suburban
cities
that
want
to
see
changes
on
the
expressway
portion
of
252.
C
A
Okay,
cool
thanks
nick
for
bringing
that
up,
and
thanks
maddie
for
that
suggestion.
If
anyone
in
the
meantime
between
now
and
the
next
meeting
or
anytime
has
other
ideas
about
topics
that
you
want
to
discuss
here,
feel
free
to
email
me
or
kim,
or
sandy
or
bjorn,
we
are
overtime,
so
I'm
gonna
hustle
through
to
get
us
adjourned.
Anything
else
to
talk
about
before
we
head
out.
Oh
tess,
yeah.
O
I
was
just
going
to
note
that
I
put
in
the
chat
earlier
about
an
event
coming
up
next
week
next
wednesday,
that
the
green
new
deal
folks
from
mn350
and
just
transition
coalition
are
holding
to
launch
their
work
related
to
the
rethink
of
the
minneapolis
climate
and
equity
action
plan.
If
folks
are
interested
and
if
you
want
to
join
the
premiere
of
food
that
grows
in
water
right
now,
I
put
the
links
for
the
codes
for
that
into
thanks.

A
A
You

reach
anyone
or
the
sustainability
office
at
sustainability
at
minneapolism.gov
and
if
without
objection,
if
I'm
assuming
I'm
not
going
to
hear
that

meeting
adjourned
