A
Okay,
well
welcome
everybody
to
the
kansas
city,
climate
protection,
steering
committee,
I'm
robin
gonall,
chair
of
the
committee,
and
I
think
we
have
quorum
now
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
laura.
I
think
we
might
have
a
couple
joining
late
today,
but
laura
if
you
could
kick
us
off
with
a
roll
call.
That'd
be
great.
B
C
B
A
E
A
A
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
while
we're
waiting
for
michael
that,
we
do
appreciate
everyone
taking
time
to
share
their
thoughts
on
the
draft
plan
and
appreciate
all
my
fellow
committee
members,
who
have
been
working
long
hours
going
through
all
of
them
and
meeting
with
the
work
groups
as
well.
As
I
know,
the
climate
justice
workers
have
been
engaged
in
that
as
well
and
working
with
city
staff
and
so
really
appreciate
all
the
teamwork
going
in
to
making
this
plan
as
good
as
we
can.
As
we
can.
G
H
A
A
F
I
A
F
Laura
I
appreciate
that
and
laura
please
laura
bridget
ellen.
Please
correct
me.
If
I
I
get
anything
wrong
or
I
don't
devote
enough
explanation
to
it,
but
I
know
that
one
of
one
of
the
discussions
that
we
had
was
trying
to
make
the
logical
link
between
climate
change
and
some
of
the
recommendations
that
were
in
the
plan,
such
as
investing
in
biodiversity
and
the
strength
of
ecosystems.
F
If
you're
not
familiar
with
environmental
issues,
you
might
not
understand
the
link
between
climate
change
and
the
decline
of
various
ecosystems
like
pollinators.
So
we
went
to
some
pains
to
explain
that
at
a
little
bit
greater
length,
and
so
that's
what
the
first
paragraph
is
is
all
about
why
biodiversity
matters
and
then
laura.
If
you
would
scroll
please
a
little
bit,
that's
great.
F
So
the
next
several
other
things
that
we
received
a
lot
of
input
from
the
public
on
one
was
about
pervious
versus
impervious
spaces
and
green
space,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
city's
experiments
with
green
spaces
already,
and
I
see
that
michael
just
joined
us
robin.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
want
me
to
stop.
F
Okay,
so
some
someone
had
submitted
some
suggestions
that
we
work
more
with
pervious
surf
surfaces,
that
is
surfaces
like
sidewalks
that
can
actually
absorbs
and
and
infiltrate
storm
water
and
the
city
does
have
a
lot
of
a
lot.
Well,
we
shouldn't
say
a
lot,
but
they
have
x
amount
of
acreage
devoted
to
those
pervious
surfaces
which
have
presented
different
problems
related
to
maintenance
of
them.
F
They
tend
to
get
kind
of
clogged
and
filled
up
with
leaf
debris
and
things
like
that,
and
so
we
we,
what
we
ended
up
recommending
was
that
we
develop
a
program
to
incentivize
the
use
of
more
pervious
surfaces
in
green
space
and
also
be
able
to
learn
more
about
what
was
successful
in
terms
of
infiltration
in
general.
I
would
also
say
relatedly
to
that
action.
End
1-3
was
just
a
lot
of
input
about
how
we
need
more
green
space.
F
F
We
that
that's
really
the
area
where
we
were
talking
about
actually
increasing
the
green
spaces
that
we
have,
and
particularly
the
tree
canopy,
and
we
we
are
wanting
to
coincide
with
the
goal
from
the
urban
forest
master
plan,
which
stated
35
as
our
goal
of
coverage.
Right
now,
the
city
has
a
tree
canopy,
that's
in
the
at
the
best,
the
high
20s
and
declining
rapidly.
F
We
talked
a
lot
about
rain
gardens
and
the
experience
of
ten
thousand
rain
gardens,
which
I
think
that
was
a
mid-america
regional
council
and
other
people
promoted.
That
maybe
seven
eight
years
ago-
and
we
ended
up
with
maybe
only
fifteen
hundred
of
those
rain
gardens
being
put
in-
and
we
know
from
experience
that
there's
a
lot
of
maintenance,
that's
needed
and
there's
a
lot
of
education,
that's
needed
for
people
to
know
how
to
install
and
maintain
a
rain
garden.
F
F
There
was
a
lot
of
input
from
some
of
our
local
soil
experts
on
the
value
of
healthy
soil
to
help
infiltrate
storm
water.
And
then
there
was
another
comment
later
about
the
possibility
of
carbon
sequestration
through
our
treatment
of
soil,
and
that
was
another
area
where
there
needed
to
be
a
lot
of
education
and
advocacy,
and
I
think
maybe
there's
even
we
still
have
a
little
bit
more
work
to
do
on
that
soil
thing.
Do
we
not
laura.
B
F
Let's
see
n
2.4,
I
I
think
this
is
kind
of
a
summary
statement
that,
with
we've
already
gone
over
several
of
them.
The
points
underneath
this
sunbrella,
which
is
that
our
city
operations,
need
to
be
revised
to
protect
the
ecological
health
of
city,
managed
landscapes
and
also
to
encourage
other
public
and
private
entities
to
do
the
same
thing.
So
there's
policy
that
needs
to
change
and
there's
also
just
education.
We
all,
I
think,
need
to
be
educated.
F
I
think
this
has
already
been
in
the
plan
for
some
time,
but
we
added
a
little
bit
more
wording
to
that.
We
wanted
to
encourage
incentivize
and
or
require
the
use
of
native
plants
on
city
property,
and
I
think
we
added
vacant
lats
vacant
lots,
medians
and
community
wide
in
this
latest
round,
and
we
stress
the
importance
all
of
the
different
benefits
of
native
plants.
There.
F
There
were
a
number
of
occasions
where
we
felt
that
what
was
being
suggested
like
in
actions,
4.1
and
4.3,
was
beyond
the
scope
of
city
capabilities
and
that
we
needed
to
add
modot
as
a
partner.
And,
let's
see,
do
we
laura?
What
could
you
bounce
back
up
so
I
can
see
4.1
and
4.3,
I'm
not.
I
don't
think
you're.
J
F
B
F
F
These
were
some
of
the
suggestions
that
the
public
had
and
we
felt
because
of
the
expense
and
the
feasibility
issues
related
to
some
of
these
things
that
we
needed
a
kind
of
prioritized
feasibility
plan
for
this.
For
this
incremental
planting
to
increase
the
amount
of
green
space
in
trees
where
the
heat
island
effect
is
prevalent.
F
By
definition,
when
the
heat
island
effect
is
present,
it
means
there's
a
lot
of
smoking
hot,
concrete
there
and
therefore
that
smoking
hot
concrete
has
to
be
either
removed
or
shaded
by
vegetation,
which
can
become
an
expensive
thing.
So
we
felt
like
we
needed
greater
study
and
prioritization
in
order
to
achieve
this
important
goal.
F
G
G
Modot
currently
does
have
a
policy
in
place
to
basically
plant
native
plants,
get
rid
of
invasive
species
and
don't
mow.
However,
an
issue
is:
is
that
it's
just
not
very
enforced,
and
if
a
neighborhood
complains
about
their
highway
being
overgrown,
modot
will
just
go
through
and
mow
it,
so
it
would
yeah.
It
would
be
a
little
bit
more
interacting
with
the
city
and
modot
kind
of
working
hand
in
hand
and,
like
figuring
out,
an
educational
aspect.
With
regard
regards
to
soil.
I
don't,
I
think
you
nailed
it.
G
I
think,
and
laura
did
a
great
job
of
kind
of
summing
up
all
the
elements
we
had
on
healthy
soil.
We
don't
have
great
soil
in
kansas
city.
Unfortunately,
we
also
live
in
the
lead
belt.
So,
there's
a
lot
of
issues
that
we
need
to
do
when
it
comes
to
soil
health.
So
I
think
that
that's
worded
pretty
good
anyway,
just
my
two
cents.
F
A
E
To
everyone
for
running
late,
some
late
minute
stuff
came
up
with
work,
but
one
quick
point
of
clarification,
because
I
think
it'll
help
me
with
my
comments,
which
sections
have
already
been
discussed.
I
know
natural
systems
was
just
discussed,
as
any
other
sections
have
been
discussed
at
this
point:
okay,
okay,
so
in
the
interest
of
time
I
will
skip
over
the
discussion
on
the
natural
systems
and
just
kind
of
focus
on
the
other
section.
So
give
me
just
a
second
to
pull
up
my
desktop
window
here.
K
E
Okay,
so
so
really
really
quickly
what
this
was
is
first
off.
Thank
you
to
everyone
who
submitted
public
comment
for
the
the
plan.
I
know
it
was
only
one
section
of
of
the
type
of
community
engagement
that
we
wanted
to
try
to
get,
but
we
do
appreciate
everyone
who
took
some
time
to
submit
a
comment
in
in
support
of
of
the
planner
ways
that
we
could
improve
this.
E
So
there
were
765
total
between
the
public
and
city
that
I
received
from
oeq
and
thank
you
again
to
oeq
for
organizing
all
of
those.
So
basically
what
I
did,
what
what
this
is
is
essentially
going
through
and
identifying
within
each
of
the
kind
of
emphasis
areas,
so
mobility,
natural
systems,
energy,
as
well
as
things
like
implementation
and
equity.
E
What
some
of
the
the
main
themes
were
in
terms
of
the
comments
so
trying
to
give
kind
of
a
high
level
explanation
of
what
the
comments
were
saying
to
to
kind
of
better
inform
the
work
of
oeq,
as
well
as
the
work
of
this
committee,
as
we
try
to
take
what
the
public
said
and
work
it
into
the
plan.
So
this
was
separate
from
the
work
that
was
being
done
by
the
individual
work
groups.
E
It
was
just
meant
to
be
another
way,
a
supplemental
way
to
kind
of
inform
some
inform
the
committee
of
what
some
of
the
community
input
and
feedback
was
on
the
plan.
Up
to
this
point,
so
you'll
see
that
there
are
several
common
themes
and
theme
percentages.
So
with
each
of
the
emphasis
areas,
there
was
several
common
themes.
E
So
the
theme
percentage
is
essentially
the
the
amount
of
times
relative
to
the
rest
of
the
comments
in
that
emphasis
area
that
this
specific
theme
showed
up
so
with
going
back
to
solarwinds
geothermal
within
the
energy
supply
comments
that
made
up
more
than
a
quarter
of
all
of
the
comments
that
were
submitted
by
the
public
to
oeq
through
their
website.
So
again,
this
is
not
to
to
say
that
there
weren't
other
forms
of
of
community
input
or
feedback.
E
I
know
that
there
were
several,
but
in
terms
of
what
I
received
from
oeq.
This
is
what
what
I
received
and
what
I
looked
at.
So
this
is
organized
very
very
quickly
in
terms
of
the
largest
to
the
smallest
in
terms
of
emphasis
area,
so
very
very
quickly
with
general.
The
the
the
big
comment
here
that
stood
out
was
most
of
the
comments.
E
Another
big
theme
that
emerged
here
was
the
emphasis
on
equity,
inclusion
and
justice,
and
so
building
on
the
more
specifics
part.
This
is,
is
meant
to
speak
to
the
idea
that
we
really
do
need
to
find
as
many
ways
as
possible
through
the
plan,
but
also
through
its
implementation,
to
support
the
needs
and
and
really
leave
lead
with.
The
voices
of
frontline
and
marginalized
communities
that
are
disproportionately
impacted
by
the
climate
crisis
and
that
made
up
about
14
so
a
little
less
than
the
more
specifics.
E
The
third
one
was
just
plant
adoption,
so
people
who
are
speaking
to
this
portion
made
it
very
explicit
that
they
want
us
to
adopt
a
strong
climate
protection
plan
and
what
strong
meant
varied
amongst
these
comments.
But
there
was
a
very
clear
indication
that
they
wanted
a
a
strong
plan
that
is
stronger
than
its
predecessor
back
in
in
back
from
resolution,
two
zero,
zero,
zero
five
and
that
made
up
about
13
and
a
half
percent
funding
and
incentives.
E
There
were
comments
here
which
spoke
to
the
need
for
funds
to
support
workers
now
and
as
some
transition
to
green
jobs,
along
with
incentives
for
cleaner
individual
choices
and
then
the
other
big
theme
from
general
was
workers
and
jobs.
So
comments
here
speaking
once
again
to
the
need
for
workers
to
be
included
in
the
plan's
implementation,
and
several
of
the
comments
in
particular
spoke
to
the
need
to
find
more
training
opportunities
for
the
green
jobs
that
are
being
created
with
regards
to
energy.
E
E
In
terms
of
the
comments
that
I
received
from
oeq,
there
was
a
there
was
a
split
in
terms
of
the
comments
with
some
people
wanting
to
to
move
towards
transition
and
some
wanting
to
to
sort
of
maintain
the
status
quo.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
there
were
other
other
forms
of
community
and
input
around
this,
but
in
terms
of
what
I
received
this
is
this
is
what
it
came
out
to
and
that
made
up
about
24
in
terms
of
energy
choice.
E
There
was
again
a
a
split
in
terms
of
what
people
were
wanting
here
with
some
wanting
to
with
more
people
wanting
to
electrify
than
not
as
it
broke
out,
and
some
also
spoke
to
the
need
for
greater
consideration
to
to
health
impacts
relative
to
current
sources
like
natural
gas
and
then
the
last
one
was
supply
and
usage.
So
both
city
staff
and
public
feedback
requested
more
specifics
on
goals
and
benchmarks
related
to
supply
and
usage.
E
E
One
of
the
big
points
here
just
came
up.
A
lot
was
just
wanting
to
redesignate
partners
in
terms
of
either
being
leads
in
some
places
or
support
in
the
other
parts,
and
I
just
I
as
much
as
it
was
showing
up.
I
I
had
to
designate
it
as
as
one
of
the
common
themes
and
that
made
up
about
17
of
of
the
themes
for
of
the
comments
for
homes
and
buildings.
E
Now
the
next
one
was
mobility,
and
so
there
were
several
themes
here:
the
the
biggest
one
being
transit.
This
made
up
over
over
60
percent
of
comments
for
mobility,
and
so
there
was
a
big
emphasis
on
things
such
as
east-west
connections,
electric
and
zero
emission
buses
and
with
regards
to
development,
a
big
emphasis
on
following
the
transit-oriented
development
policy
more
closely
and
supporting
accessibility
and
working
more
closely
with
with
transit
workers.
E
I'm
walking
walkability.
The
big
point
with
this
was
was
asking
for
a
more
robust
effort
to
construct
and
repair
sidewalks
across
the
city,
especially
in
parts
of
the
city,
with
little
or
no
develop
a
little
to
no
development,
as
well
as
a
bigger
shift
on
mode
shift
targets
towards
walking
over
the
next
few
years
as
well
and
finally,
comments
including
improvements
to
public
facilities
and
additions
of
public
facilities,
which
could
support
the
needs
of
families
and
young
children.
E
E
Several
comments
spoke
to
the
need
to
adopt
the
the
proposed
bike
master
plan
and
to
build
more
protected
and
connected
facilities
and,
finally,
accessibility
in
ada,
so
making
up
about
fourteen
percent
of
comments.
Overall
comments
here
spoke
to
the
need
to
ensure
a
greater
accessibility
as
a
priority,
especially
with
regards
to
transit
and
walkability
elements.
E
So
I,
as
I
mentioned
I'll,
skip
natural
systems
implementation,
so
it
gets
much
smaller
from
here.
So
implementation.
Again,
one
of
the
things
here
was
just
trying
to
designate
which
partners
should
do
what
that
made
up
about
40
of
the
comments
under
implementation,
and
the
other
thing
that
came
up
under
implementation
was
fuel
source
and
purchasing
considerations.
E
A
number
of
comments
spoke
to
both
the
need
to
use
natural
gas
as
a
bridge
and
heavy-duty
options
becoming
mostly
because
heavy
duty
options
are
still
needing
to
be
established.
So
there
was
also
a
desire
in
the
comments
here
to
develop
policies
which
better
regulate
fuel
source
and
the
use
of
commercial
vehicles
wasted
materials.
There
are
only
about
21
comments
here.
E
The
big
two
themes
were:
one
recycling,
so
finding
more
ways
to
educate
the
comm,
the
community
about
recycling,
but
also
looking
to
try
to
find
ways
to
provide
recycling
options
for
rental
units
and
multi-family
housing.
In
a
way
we
haven't
before
the
other.
Big
common
theme
was
with
waste
reduction
and
trash
efficiency,
so
here
it
was
with
regards
to
finding
ways
to
improve
trash,
pickup
and
limit
spillage
from
trucks,
and
that
made
up
about
28
of
the
comments
with
food.
The
big
things
here
were
food
systems
and
food
waste.
E
The
first
part
was
with
aspects
of
implementation,
so
speaking
to
the
need
to
support
black
and
brown
and
indigenous
indigenous-led
organizations,
but
also
the
need
to
identify
more
funding
for
the
implementation
and
the
organizations
involved
in
that
work.
And
then
there
was
also
support
for
a
great
new
deal,
which
is
is
obviously
separate
from
from
the
plan
itself
and
so
trying
to
find
ways
to
ensure
that
the
most
vulnerable
portions
of
the
community
aren't
left
behind
and
then
the
last
one
was
there
were
five
comments
for
equity.
E
A
E
C
We
did
refine
the
overview
and
to
better
define
that
and
spell
out
that
utility
scale
of
renewable
technologies
you
know,
provide
a
wealth
of
benefits
to
the
grid
and
also
distinguishing
that
from
decentralized
distributed
renewable
energy
generation,
while
making
sure
that
we
are
prioritizing
overburdened
underrepresented,
neighborhoods
and
these
solutions.
And
so
we
did
propose.
C
And
this
is
what
the
people
of
kansas
city
and
the
climate
protection
steering
committee
is
urging
the
city
to
act
on.
And
so
we
want
to
kind
of
distinguish
that
from
you
know,
other
plans
that
exist
right
now
and
make
sure
that
we
are
really
defining
our
vision,
as
the
community
wants
it
to
be
defined
and
as
the
scientists
are
telling
us
need
to
be
implemented
urgently.
C
C
We
are
setting
the
metrics
for
success
as
follows.
So
when
we
are
expanding,
utility
scale
owned
renewables,
and
I
also
do
want
to
name
that
there
is
a
lack
of
consensus
in
our
subcommittee
on
this,
but
in
spite
of
that,
there's
still
a
three
to
one
opinion
that
the
hawthorne
coal
plant
does
need
to
be
retired
by
2025,
and
that
is
something
that's
been
discussed
at
length
on
the
subcommittee
committee.
C
If
you
scroll
down
a
little
bit,
I
also
wanted
to
name
that
public
service.
Commission
intervention
is
a
big
priority
for
the
energy
generation
subcommittee.
For
those
of
you
who
who
do
not
know
the
public
service
commission
is
the
appointed
governing
body
who
regulates
our
utilities
and
it
is
the
subcommittee.
There
was
a
consensus
on
this.
The
subcommittee
believes
that
it's
really
important
in
order
for
us
to
meet
these
goals,
that
the
study
starts
intervening
in
the
public
service
commission.
C
I
believe
this
is
all
the
same
again.
We
wanted
to
really
continue
to
develop
and
refine
exactly
what
we
mean
when
we're
talking
about
renewable
energy,
and
so
when
we're
talking
about
distributed
energy
community
solar.
This
is
energy
that
is
decentralized
energy,
that
is
community
owned
and
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
are
specifying.
C
You
know
those
goals
and
exactly
what
it's
going
to
take
to
get
us
there,
and
so
we
determined
that
again,
a
goal
of
110
megawatts
of
new
you
know
distributed
energy
has
been
built.
We
also
wanted
to
make
note
of
solarize
kc,
which
is
something
that
is
already
in
motion.
So
solarize
kc
is
already
a
partner
in
this,
and
if
you
want
to
continue
going
down-
and
this
is
a
couple
of
you-
know-
suggestions
that
were
here
internet.
L
C
I
know
michael
called
that
it
called
that
out
named
that
during
you
know,
the
summary
and
community
choice
is
a
legislation
that
will,
you
know,
promote
more
community
choice,
energy,
so
I
will
leave
it
there
in
the
interest
of
keeping
it
high
level
and
also
recognizing
that
there
are
overlaps
with
the
decentralized
energy
programs
that
that
I
talked
about
that.
I
think
bill
will
get
to
because
we
talked
we
received
a
lot
of
public
comments
about
you,
know,
displacement
and
things
like
that
and
bill's
homes
and
buildings.
F
C
What
the
latest
ipcc
report
has
told
us
is
that
that
has
to
be
targeted
and
it
has
to
be
paired
with
equitable
building
decarbonization
in
terms
of
being
a
part
of
the
whole
a
whole
pie.
So,
instead
of
you
know
administering
energy
efficiency
in
a
way
that
you
know,
prolongs
fossil
fuels
and
really
making
sure-
and
I'm
stealing
a
little
bit
of
your
thunder
bill.
C
F
C
A
All
right
thanks
thanks
beth,
I
think
in
the
interest
of
time
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
it's
probably
good
segue
for
bill.
Since
we
were
just
talking
about
bill
bill,
are
you
ready
to
kind
of
walk
through
at
a
high
level
being
mindful
of
time
now
being
5
50?
We
want
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
time
for
public
to
give
comments
as
well.
So
if
you
could
keep
it
high
level,
that
would
be
great.
M
M
M
The
united
states,
but
we
want
to
see
how
we
can
affect
that
as
we
work
through
the
homes
and
buildings
you
know,
and
that
can
be
anything
from
energy
efficiency
to
you
know
more
shade
to
better
hvac.
What
have
you,
but
we
do
want
to
be
thinking
of
that
systemically
as
we
go
through
this
okay.
Moving
on
down
there,
okay,
under
strategy
b4,
promoting
equitable
building
decarbonization
in
the
latest
ipcc
report
that
came
out
the
beginning
of
april.
M
One
of
the
points
they
made
was
we
have
to
move
strongly
toward
building
electrification,
which
is
building
decarbonization
by
another
name.
There
also
wanting
to
make
that
equitable.
So
we,
you
know,
want
to
look
at
that
and
make
sure
people
are
not
left
behind
and
the
carbonization
will
be.
A
combination
and
beth
alluded
to
that.
M
M
We
did
change
or
we
added,
I
think
correctly.
If
I'm
wrong,
I
can't
remember
now:
we
we
split
it
up
industrial,
commercial,
residential
into
three
parts
there
so,
and
we
also
wanted
to
note
that
part
of
evergy's
energy
mix
that
was
added
by
you
know,
taking
over
west
star
changed
their
calculations
a
little
bit
there.
So
we
put
that
in
there
all
right,
moving
on
down.
M
M
3.4,
you
know,
besides
promoting
certain
types
of
you,
know:
passive
home
construction,
but
again
the
word
affordable
in
there.
So
we
don't
want
this
just
to
be
the
high
end
stuff
out
there,
but
look
at
how
we
can
make
this
affordable
to
a
wider
range
of
people
there
and
then
just
touching
on
equitable
building
decarbonization.
M
Some
of
that
kristin
has
you
know,
for
example,
some
zip
codes
where
we
could
really
identify
some
of
that
and
how
we
can
work
through
education
and
outreach
and
possibly
funding.
Looking
for
funding.
For
you
know,
a
combination
of
well
I'll,
just
say
decarbonization,
which
includes
electrification
and
energy
efficiency,
so
we'll
just
use
the
bigger
term
right
there
moving
further
down.
M
And
so
I'm
going
down
to
the
fourth
line
here
to
support
the
strategy
building
decarbonization
the
city
will
establish
an
equitable
building
decarbonization
program.
So
that
is
something
we're
highly
recommended
lead
through
example,
again
cities,
you
know
to
have
them
move
toward
electric
equipment,
beginning
in
2022,
for
you
know
their
facilities
on
heating,
cooling
and
water
heating
there
and
then
you
know
again
vision.
City
facilities
is
the
next
part
100
by
2030..
M
We
did
go
ahead
and
set
some
goals
for
owner
occupied
and
rental
25
percent.
We
wanted
to
have
something
measurable
right
there
and
you
know
for
us
to
work
on
so
there
it
is.
We
have
electrification
and
then
air
sealing
and
insulation
improvements
through
there
again
one
two
punch
there
and
again
we
made
some
assumptions
here
with
some
numbers.
You
know
we
wanted
to
come
up
with
them
to
measure
our
success
on
here,
so
you
can
see
those
again
right
there
and
if
we
can
scroll
on
down.
M
Moving
down
was
that
it
or
was
there
a
little
boring
yes
yeah
on
financial
assistance
and
incentives,
again
we're
not
looking
at
mandates
as
far
as
electrification
in
any
way,
but
if
we
can
support
it
with
besides
education,
you
know
like
a
website
where
we
can
get
information
out
or
something
almost
like
a
climate
ambassador
in
some
neighborhoods,
where
you
get
more
word
of
mouth
with
someone
who's
trusted
in
the
neighborhood.
I
think
it's
something
that
we
will
want
to
visit
here
in
the
future.
M
But
anyway,
besides
that,
have
the
city
look
for
possible
grants,
other
funding
mechanisms,
incentives
so
again
carrots
to
work
with
electrification.
Again,
no
one
is
telling
anyone
they
have
to
get
rid
of
their
gas
furnace
here,
okay,
then
they
talked
about
you
know,
or
we
talked
about.
You
know
different
people
to
get
to
building
owners
landlords.
Obviously,
because
tenants
can't
do
much
of
that
themselves
and
then
you
know
homeowners
themselves
and
and
things
like
that,
all
right
are
we
done.
M
A
E
Thank
you
very
much
laura
and
I
want
to
thank
bridget
and
kristen
for
their
help
with
this.
So,
like
I
said
I'll,
be
very,
very
quick
here,
so
the
big
thing
here
was
needing
to
note
strategies
that
are
not
prioritizing
by
their
numbering.
In
the
plan.
The
city
needs
to
develop
an
agreed
upon
definition
of
gentrification
that
includes
green
gentrification
for
the
purpose
of
future
planning
and
policy.
It's
as
much
as
it's
coming
up
here
and
as
much
as
coming
up
elsewhere.
E
I
did
want
to
note-
and
I
think
laura
did
make
a
change
here-
really
quick-
that
we
wanted
to
say
investing
at
least
three
percent
of
city
transportation
in
pedestrian
infrastructure.
We
don't
want
it
to
just
be
limited
to
three
percent.
We
want
that
to
be
at
the
very
minimum
what
the
city
is
spending,
because
it's
spending
less
than
that
at
the
moment,
michael.
B
O
B
G
I'll
start
by
saying,
thank
you
to
I.
I
think
we
did
a
pretty
good
job
covering
everything
in
food
and
waste
and
also
to
my
teammates
as
well,
and
if
I
miss
anything,
I
don't
I
don't
know
if
tom's
on
here.
I
can't
see
him
but
angela,
you
could
get
out
of
here,
okay,
so
food
and
waste,
basically
a
lot
of
stuff
that
we
added
is
just
like
kind
of
word:
smithy,
for
instance,
action.
Five
1.2.
G
G
Yeah,
we,
I
think
we
had
made
this
recommendation
beforehand,
but
it
didn't
make
it
into
the
final
plan,
but
again
just
promoting
plant-based
food
consumption,
and
we
were
thinking
about
this
with
schools
and
stuff,
like
that,
so
kids
aren't
forced
to
eat
just
like
a
bagel
with
you
know,
cream
cheese
or
dry
if
they're
vegan,
so
yeah,
just
adding
some
more
earlier,
adding
some
more
student
partners,
schools
in
general,
that
has
to
do
with
like
the
plant-based
stuff
and
some
of
the
recycling
stuff,
I
think,
is
further
down
hospitals
as
well.
Restaurants.
G
We
want
to
have
restaurants
and
supporting
parties.
We
want
to
give
restaurants,
you
know
recognition
if
they're
doing
a
really
great
job
of
having
local
urban
food
and
healthy
food,
and
then
oh,
yes,
also
library,
as
well
as
an
implementation
partner.
So
that's
really
food.
It
wasn't
a
lot.
It
was
mostly
wordsmithing
and
just
adding
implementation
partners
waste
of
materials.
G
This
is
basically
to
we
got
the
comment
that
the
comprehensive,
solid
waste
management
plan
we've
actually
been
backtracking,
a
little
bit
with
recycling,
and
so
we
want
to
update
and-
and
I
guess,
enforce
better
recycling
and
waste
management
practices
again
kind
of
what
kristen
was
saying
earlier.
Education
is
going
to
be
huge,
specifically
with
recycling.
G
You
know
the
recycling
system
is
very
difficult.
It's
kind
of
made
that
way
because
of
the
oil
and
gas
industry
and
and
the
chemical
association
as
well,
because
they
want
us
depending
on
plastic,
and
we
can't
be
so
again
another
one
is.
We
have
a
preemption
on
banning
plastic
bags,
single-use
plastic
grocery
bags.
They,
the
missouri
legislature,
has
been
trying
to
push
that
out
to
to
go.
G
Containers
which
are
called
polystyrene
or
styrofoam
is
like
the
common
name
for
it,
and
so
we
added
advocate
for
the
reversal
of
the
state
level
single-use
preemption,
which
there
is
a
bill
currently,
but
it
hasn't
been
heard,
and
I
don't
think
it
will
be
since
there's
only
two
weeks
left
and
then
so
yeah
explore
policies
basically
of
how
to
get
around
that
preemption.
So
government
buildings,
schools,
private
companies
as
well
try
to
push
to
have
zero
waste
or
reusable
goods
to
take
your
food
home
in
or
what
have
you?
G
G
Essentially,
we
need
to
have
permit
requirements
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
trash
is
being
sorted
and
taken
care
of
in
the
proper
manner
for
all
events,
and
then
this
was
something
that
came
up
actually
with
mobility
and
then
also
with
waste.
Basically
talking
about
embodied
carbon
with
regards
to
construction
materials
that
we
use,
for
instance,
like
concrete
versus
asphalt,
asphalt,
is
apparently
better
to
use
or
cement.
G
I'm
totally
flipping
that
around,
but
basically
the
stuff
that
we
use
can
can
be
used
to
actually
take
carbon.
You
know
and
and
hold
it
into
its
material,
so
we're
going
to
update
the
name
and
make
a
definition
of
this
as
well
and
have
that
be
a
priority
yeah,
and
so
we
have
all
of
the
manufacturing
transportation
installation
maintenance
of
all
building
materials.
G
This
is
another
one.
This
is
kind
of
the
same
thing:
reducing
embodied
carbon
and
construction
materials.
So
looking
for
those
materials
that
aren't
actually
increasing
our
heat
island
effect
and
are
helping
us
with
carbon
capture,
this
is
another
one
that
we
had
suggested
before,
but
it
didn't
get
made
into
the
plan,
but
we
got
plenty
of
input
saying
that
they
wanted
it
so
establishing
a
zero
waste
recognition
for
restaurants
and
businesses
that
do
show
that
they
are
zero
waste.
G
G
You
know
the
people
who
are
picking
up
our
trash
and
then
yes,
sorry
now
I'm
like
trying
to
remember
all
of
this
parts
advocate
at
the
state
and
federal
level
for
producer
responsibility
policies.
I
don't
know
if
everybody
knows
what
that
is,
but
essentially
putting
the
blame
not
on
individual
people,
but
actually
manufacturers
and
basically
them
having
to
either
pay
a
tax
or
a
fee
in
order
to
manufacture
plastic
and
goods
essentially
into
our
city.
G
A
So,
unfortunately,
in
our
in
our
work
groups,
we
we
realize
we
still
don't
have
quite
enough
information
to
that.
We
need.
So.
One
note
was
that
we
would
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
have
our
work
group
or
representatives
from
the
work
group
work
directly
with
brendel,
since
they
have
some
details
that
we
need
to
really
be
able
to
flush
out.
A
What
that
summary
table,
especially
should
look
like
we
would
like
the
opportunity
to
work
with
them,
as
we
finalize
the
plan
to
get
that
finished,
and
then
we
also,
as
a
group,
took
work
through
a
prioritization
framework
and
took
into
account
public
comment
to
try
to
set
some
initial
priorities
recommend
some
initial
priorities
for
both.
What
to
get
you
know
what
we
want
to
make
sure
gets
attention
right
away
immediately.
A
What
needs
to
be
in
there
for
the
budget?
So
we
don't
have
the
numbers
for
budget
cycle,
and
one
of
the
I
guess
disadvantages
we
had
was
not
really
having
costs
for
each
of
these
actions
to
work
with.
So
we
did
the
best
we
can,
but
so
I'll
just
speak
through
this
real
quick.
We
just
had
a
couple
minor
edits
to
that
paragraph
in
the
executive
summary
again
to
work
through
that
kind
of
with
brindle
to
make
sure
we're
wording
things
right
and
know
what
our
limitations
are.
A
A
If
you
could
scroll
down
a
little
bit
more,
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
our
targets
are
changed
to
what
the
committee
voted
on
at
the
last
time
and
worked
with
brendell
to
on
the
language
about
whether
things
are
going
to
be
net
zero
or
zero
carbon,
and
just
because
it
seems
like
to
us.
We
are
working
towards
zero
carbon,
but
we
just
wanted
to
work
with
them
and
see
what
the
issues
were
with
not
changing
that
wording
and
then
scrolling
down.
A
A
I
know
the
2021
building
codes
are
have
been
introduced
at
council
now.
So
that's
another
one
of
our
top
priorities
to
ensure
that
that
passes,
including
some
things
in
the
state
legislative
priorities
like
clean
energy
and
rent
control
and
protecting
continuing
to
protect
and
expand
natural
ecosystems
and
also
to
make
this
process
of
prioritization
more
inclusive.
Going
forward
establish
an
environmental
justice
advisory
council
which
would
have
more
community
representation
going
forward
and
have
that
council
work
to
set
priorities
annually.
A
A
P
P
A
N
Okay
hi,
my
name
is
broden,
I'm
22,
I
work
in
kcmo
and
I'm
a
leader
with
the
sunrise
movement
kc.
Since
moving
to
the
area
in
2017,
I've
worked
in
three
different
locations
in
the
city.
Each
one
has
been
a
hazard
to
my
health,
an
asphalt
plant,
a
livestock
pellet
feed
mill
and
the
wca
garbage
and
recycle
transfer
station,
where
the
kcmo
garbage
trucks
dump
their
loads.
N
A
A
O
O
And
so
my
comments
today
and
what
the
edits
that
I
want
this
committee
to
adopt
reflect
my
work
as
a
community
organizer
engaging
many
of
those
groups.
So
I
would
like
the
committee
to
support
edits
to
this
plan
that
prioritize
total
public
and
private
decarbonization
by
2030
push
to
close
evergy's
hawthorne
coal
plant
as
soon
as
possible,
with
a
just
transition
for
all
utility
workers
and
to
explicitly
name
prioritizing
frontline
communities.
The
stakeholders
in
resolution
2005
for
rooftop,
solar
and
building
retrofits,
and
this
plan
must
not
name
natural
gas
as
any
sort
of
bridge
fuel.
O
And
while
the
city
cannot
ban
natural
gas
hookups,
it
should
not
prioritize
it
or
give
contracts
to
implementation
partners
that
are
pushing
this
narrative,
that's
climate
denial,
and
there
are
people
who
are
pushing
for
this
and
we
need
to.
We
need
to
stop
this
like
this
is
ridiculous:
you're,
not
an
environmentalist.
If
you're
pushing
for
natural
gas,
I
don't
care.
I
also
think
that
this
plan
needs
to
name
prioritizing
permanent,
affordable,
accessible
and
safe
green
housing
for
all,
as
defined
by
kansas
city.
K
K
K
But
this
is
just
comes
down
to
health
and
science.
You
know
gas
is
quite
literally
a
hazard
to
our
health
gas
plants
explode.
You
all
literally
noted
that
in
your
comments
and
it's
hurting
the
indoor
air
quality
people
right
now-
and
please
be
thinking
about
the
fact
that
if
we
put
natural
gas
as
a
bridge
fuel,
you
are
co-signing
and
allowing
new
pipelines
to
be
built
entire
generations
of
infrastructure
to
be
used
in
the
name
of
a
bridge
fuel
that
will
last
for
decades.
K
It
is
not
something
that
we'll
use
for
five
six
years
until
renewable
comes
around.
It
will
be
something
that
has
an
impact
for
decades
to
come
and
we
cannot
risk
putting
people's
lives
and
health
on
the
line
just
to
make
certain
people
certain
gas
executives
happy-
and
I'm
saying
this
not
to
sound
divisive,
but
because
we
just
simply
do
not
have
the
time
to
invest
in
false
solutions,
and
I
am
so
excited
about
the
edits
that
have
been
proposed.
But
let's
do
the
right
thing.
Q
Yeah
david
johnson,
I'm
a
resident
of
the
fourth
district,
and
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
my
chat
comment
and
make
sure
everyone
caught
that
that
the
city
should
increase
its
spending
on
public
transportation
rather
than
keeping
it
flat
or
in
decline.
Money
is
diverted
annually
for
non-transit
public
works
uses.
C
Q
A
E
G
E
Okay,
okay,
so
so
here,
robin
I'll
I'll,
do
I'll
take
care
of
this
so
really
really
quickly
it
we.
We
definitely
want
to
give
people
a
chance
to
speak.
But
again
we
are
running
up
against
the
clock,
so
we
we
want
to
hear
you,
but
please,
if
you
can
make
your
comments
somewhat
somewhat
to
the
point
so
that
we
have
enough
time
to
to
discuss
the
the
comments.
We
really
do
appreciate
it.
R
Hi,
I'm
zoe
wilson,
I'm
a
leader
with
the
sunrise
movement
and
I'd
just
like
to
go
back
to.
I
know
you
guys
talked
about
in
a
plan
just
a
little
bit
green
social,
affordable
housing.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
that
is
so
important
that
we
get
it
right,
that
we
get
it.
That
not
only
does
it
happen,
but
it's
done
well.
We
need
it
to
be
affordable,
affordable.
L
These
comments
with
conflicts
of
interest.
I
just
want
to
finally
say
that
retrofits,
weatherization,
rooftop,
solar
and
more
must
all
be
be
prioritized
and
disinvested
communities
and
that
it's
imperative
that
language
in
this
plan
and
future
legislation
specifically
protect
against
green
gentrification
from
these
projects.
Thanks.
D
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
okay,
madam
chair,
mr
vice
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
billy
davies.
He
him
pronouns
and
I
I'm
a
resident
of
the
sixth
district.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity.
Speaking
for
extending
time,
I
just
so
we'll
start
would
like
to
express
appreciation
for
the
very
thorough
edits
and
deliberation
done
by
each
and
every
one
of
the
committee
members,
and
that
will
start
by
just
saying.
D
D
Although
there's
always,
there
is
important
areas
of
improvement
to
center
community
engagement
and
public
voices
in
helping
shape
these
important
policies.
I
believe
it
has
made
kansas
city
a
leader
already,
and
I
just
want
to
as
a
someone
who's.
You
know,
starting
to
plan
a
family
and
looking
ahead,
I'm
feeling
much
more
confident-
and
I
appreciate
all
of
your
work
over
the
last
couple
years
to
raise
the
level
of
discourse
in
our
region
and
set
an
example
for
others
to
follow.
E
Thank
you
and
I'll
just
note,
aslan's
comment:
there
should
be
no
language
advocating
for
continuation
of
natural
gas
issues
in
this
plan.
Natural
gas
and
other
fossil
fuels
are
the
causes
of
the
crisis
that
we
are
setting
out
to
avert.
How
can
we
make
progress
and
move
forward,
leaning
into
propping
up
natural
gas?
A
E
E
B
I
think
we
kind
of
decided
that
you
all
were
going
to
vote
on
each
individual
section
as
a
committee
on
whether
or
not
you
are
going
to
support
it
and
then
based
on
that,
we'll
send
everything
over
to
brindle
for
inclusion
in
the
plan
and
there'll
be
some
items.
Obviously,
that
will
have
to
have
more
dialogue
since.
B
Some
time
with
brendall,
but
then
then
we'll
once
you
guys
vote
on
it,
we'll
send
it
over
we'll
see
what
we
can
do
comments
and
things
we
can
change.
We
will
change
if
something
comes
back,
that
we
can't
change
it
for
some
reason,
we'll
get
back
to
you
on
that
and
then
brendel
has
two
weeks
to
incorporate
and
all
of
these
changes
and
then
we'll
give
the
plan
internal
city
administration
to
look
at
and
then
back
to
the
cpsc.
Once
we
have
that
final
plan.
E
Okay,
okay,
so
so,
then,
just
just
understanding
that
it's
it's
not
going
to
counsel.
Yet
thank
you
for
the
clarification
it's
going
back
to
brendel
for
for
some
additional
work.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
both
for
for
the
clarification
on
that
I'm
willing
to
make
a
recommendation
to
start
to
for
the
cpsc
to
adopt
the
recommendations
related
to
mobility.
Can
I
get
a
second.
I
E
M
I
E
C
E
I
E
E
C
E
I
Yeah
so
everyday
submitted
comments
supporting
several
items
in
this
section.
However,
I'm
going
to
vote
no
evergie
works
with
the
missouri
public
service
commission
annually
to
update
an
integrated
resource
plan
that
uses
factual
analysis
to
plan
our
ongoing
transition
towards
cleaner,
more
renewable
energy.
While
this
goal
and
the
plans
are
laudable,
they
are
not
feasible
today
and
we
result
in
less
reliable
energy
supply,
including
the
very
real
possibility
of
rolling
blackouts
for
kansas
city
and
the
region.
Energy
has
reduced
its
carbon
emissions
by
50
percent
versus
2005
levels.
E
E
J
E
J
E
A
Okay,
great,
I
think
we're
through
our
agenda
today
just
want
to
mention
again
some
next
steps
and
maybe
have
andy
and
laura
weigh
in
with
that
as
well.
As
you
stated,
this
will
go
to
brendell
now
to
finalize
the
plan
and
send
and
andy
can
you
walk
through
the
next
steps?
Again,
I'm
getting
confused
again.
H
Business
sessions,
don't
allow
the
opportunity
for
public
testimony
so
we'll
take
it
to
business
session,
we'll
we'll
draft
a
resolution
for
adoption
of
the
plan,
and
that
would
allow
then
to
introduce
that
to
a
legislative
session.
Of
course,
we
go
through
a
committee
and
at
the
committee,
whichever
committee
gets
to
sign
this,
I'm
not
quite
sure
if
it's
transportation,
infrastructure
or
whether
this
goes
through
finance
and
governance,
then
once
we
go
through
a
committee,
the
public
can
testify
at
that
point
as
well.
H
So
they'll
have
another
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
plan
at
that
point
as
well,
not
sure
what
the
time
frame
is
between
the
business
session
and
the
the
the
resolution.
That
kind
of
depends
on
how
much
time
the
city
council
wants
to
take
to
review
the
plan
and
whether
they
have
questions
or
concerns
or
whether
there's
additional
meetings
between
stakeholders
and
the
council.
So
council
can
take
as
much
time
as
they
like
to
talk
to
groups
still,
that's
still
a
possibility.
F
E
H
H
A
C
C
H
H
So
I
think
laura
did
you
have
a
response
today
I
mean
it
cut
you
off
sound
like
you're
yeah
and
that's
a
good
question
honestly.
I
think
we
need
to
talk
with
the
with
robin
and
and
brendel
and-
and
you
know
we
at
this
point
we've
done.
Our
intention
was
to
put
all
of
the
public
comments
that
we've
received
in
the
final
supplemental
documents
as
part
of
the
climate
plan.
At
the
end
of
when
this
project
is
done,
everything
was
going
to
be
made
available.
