I
I
B
B
B
We,
we
have
a
couple
folks
on
the
committee,
including
myself,
who
have
been
on
for
a
few
years,
but
largely
this
is
a
a
very
new
committee
and
we
also
have
the
city's
consultant,
the
brendel
group
on
the
phone
as
well
or
or
on
the
on
the
team's
call
to
to
present.
So
at
the
beginning.
I
think
it'd
be
worthwhile
for
all
of
us
to
introduce
ourselves
to
each
other.
B
Those
of
us
on
the
committee
haven't
even
had
a
chance
to
meet
each
other,
yet
in
in
many
instances.
So
it's
it's
exciting
to
be
here.
Unfortunately,
we
have
to
do
this
by
teams
again
by
computer.
We
were
hoping
to
meet
in
person
at
this
point
and
maybe
we
can
meet
in
person
the
next
time
we
get
together,
but
it's
good
to
see
all
of
you
here
and
at
least
on
screen
today,
and
why
don't
we
rachel
if
we're
okay?
B
Just
to
I
think,
we've
got
a
few
people
rolling
in
now,
but
we'll
just
go
ahead
with
the
agenda
again.
My
name
is
tom
griever.
I
am
I'll
start
the
introductions
with
myself
and
then
kind
of
roll
down
the
list
of
steering
committee
members,
and
we
can
take
a
few
minutes
for
each
one
to
introduce
themselves
and
talk
about
who
they
represent
or
or
what
their
interest
is
in
the
committee
and
I'll
give
a
little
bit
of
background
for
myself.
B
I
am
an
attorney
here
in
kansas
city,
I've
been
practicing
environmental
law
for
about
28
years.
I've
been
a
kansas
city
resident
for
about
20
years
and
I
practice
at
the
shakardi
law
firm.
I
represent
regulated
entities
on
environmental
compliance
matters
and
I
specifically
specialize
in
in
clean
air
act
requirements
and
in
developments
and
regulations.
So
that's
that's
my
specialty
area.
That's
that's
a
lot
of.
What's
kept
me
interested
in
climate
change
developments
and
I
was
appointed
to
this
committee
by
mayor
james-
I
think
it
was
about
six
years
ago.
B
Kristen
might
correct
me
on
that,
because
she
and
I
joined
at
the
same
time
I'm
guessing
six
years.
It's,
but
but
it's
been
a
thrill
and
an
honor
to
be
on
the
committee
and
and
to
help
the
city
guide
its
way
through
the
changes
and
and
obviously
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
cut
out
ahead
of
us
over
the
next
few
years
too,
and
especially
over
the
next
few
months,
as
we
put
our
new
plan
together.
So
it's
good
to
meet
you
all.
B
I
look
forward
to
meeting
you
all
in
person
sometime
soon
and
with
that
I'll
just
go
down
the
list
of
steering
committee
members.
I
can't
tell
who
is
all
on
the
phone,
so
I'll
just
read
names
and
if
I
call
your
name
and
you're
on
if
you
could
just
go
ahead
and
give
a
brief
introduction
I'll
start
with
angela
crawford.
J
Yes,
that's
me,
I
yes,
so
I'm
angela
crawford,
I'm
a
marketer
in
kansas
city,
currently
work
for
the
builders
association,
which
is
a
commercial
construction,
trade
association,
regional
trade
association,
part
of
the
national
association
of
general
contractors
as
well,
and
while
certainly
commercial
construction
has
a
role
to
play
in
environmentalism.
My
role
on
this
committee
is
probably
coming
more
from
a
place
of
personal
interest.
K
Hi
everyone,
yes,
I
am
on
my
name-
is
beth
pauly.
I
am
a
kind
of
10-year
long,
non-profit
advocate
grassroots
organizer.
I've
lived
in
kansas
city
missouri
for
about
15
years.
I
have
been
involved
in
environmental
policy
for
just
about
four
years.
I
currently
work
for
climate
and
energy
projects
and
my
subject:
area
of
knowledge
and
expertise
as
energy
generation.
H
L
M
I
am
I'm
here
yeah,
so
my
name
is
bridget
sanderson.
I
have
been
a
lifelong
kansas
city
inn,
but
bouncing
back
and
forth
between
the
missouri
and
kansas
side.
There
was
a
short
stick
in
california,
but
I
don't
really
count
it.
I
am
one
of
the
newer
members
I
currently
work
for
environment
missouri,
which
is
a
statewide
citizen-based
environmental
advocacy
group
and
based
out
of
kansas
city,
of
course.
M
Prior
to
that,
I
actually
worked
as
a
soil
scientist
for
the
state
of
kansas
for
about
eight
years.
So
a
lot
of
my
knowledge
comes
from
conservation
efforts,
but
again
it
runs.
The
gambit
of
you
know
energy
justice
and
conservation
and
protecting
clean
water
and
air
and
everything.
So
I'm
excited
to
be
a
part
of
the
team.
N
I
really
want
to
welcome
all
the
new
members
to
the
committee
and
I'm
in
a
brookside
coffee
shop,
because
I
don't
have
electricity
right
now
at
home,
so
I'm
not
going
to
stay
on
for
very
long,
but
just
to
say
I'm.
I
have
served
as
executive
director
of
bridging
the
gap
for
11
years
and
have
been
there
14.
N
O
P
Hi
my
name's
robin
ganahl,
I
was
born
in
kansas
city,
went
to
ku,
but
then
I
spent
the
last
couple
decades
moving
back
and
forth
between
both
coasts.
But
I
moved
back
about
two
years
ago.
My
background
includes
serving
as
environmental
engineer
back
in
the
day
for
burns
and
mcdonald,
an
I.t
project
manager
and
analyst
for
department
of
treasury,
and
also
I've
been
a
community
organizer
for
non-profit
in
california
called
climate
action
campaign
where
I
spent
several
years,
advocating
for
clean
energy
and
community
choice
energy.
P
But
here
I'm
I'm
co-founder
and
representing
the
kansas
city,
chapter
of
a
non-profit
called
mothers
out
front
mobilizing
for
a
livable
climate.
It's
a
national
non-profit
that
empowers
moms
to
engage
at
the
local
level
on
issues
that
impact
climate.
So
I'm
honored
to
be
here
to
be
a
voice
for
kids
and
for
concerned
moms,
who
are
really
counting
on
city
leaders
to
use
all
levels
of
power.
B
F
Thank
you,
tom
andy,
savstein,
I'm
the
chief
environmental
officer
for
kansas
city
and
the
office
of
environmental
quality,
which
is
a

of
the
city
manager's
office
and

behalf
of
the
city.
I
want
to

the
climate
protection
steering
committee

process,

a
large
agenda.

us
still
thank
you
so
moving
into
the
business,
we
want
to
quickly
look
at
the
may
21
meeting
minutes.
The
last
time
we
met
was
back
on
may
24th
and
the
minutes
were
circulated
prior
to
the
meeting.
They
should
have
all
been
on
your
calendar
notice.
Are
there
any
any
comments
or
changes
or
questions
about
the
meeting
minutes
or,
if
not,
I'd,
be
happy
to
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes.
F
And
tom

you
do
that
just
give
a
quick
shout
out
to
my
admin,
rachel,

admin
support
and
she'll
be
very
integral

or
whatever

out
feel
free
to

to

rachel.
Did
you
want
to
say
anything
real,
quick
before
they
moving
forward.
A
B
A
H
B
H
B
We're
probably
getting
into
the
maybe
the
longest
part
of
our
meeting,
which
will
be
a
presentation
by
the
brendel
group
on
the
status
of
the
work
that
they're
doing
toward
the
resiliency
plan
that
they're
working
with
us-
and
this
is
going
to
be
probably
the
first
in
a
series
of
of
discussions
we'll
have
with
brendell
over
the
next
few
months
as
we're
working
toward
our
goal
of
march
31st
of
next
year
to
have
the
final
report
and
recommendations
in
place.
That's
a
short
timeline.
So
we've
got.
B
We
did
get
a
presentation
from
them
back
in
may
about
the
kickoff
of
the
process
and
we're
now
two
months
into
it.
So
we're
going
to
hear
from
them
about
where
they
stand
and
what
the
next
steps
are
going
to
be.
And
what
are
the
issues
we're
going
to
need
to
consider
in
the
in
the
coming
months?
So
andy
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you
to
introduce
the
folks
at
brendel.
B
Q
Yeah,
I'm
becca
stock,
I'm
a
engineer
with
brendel
group
and
I'm
also
the
project
manager
for
this
project,
so
I'm
sort
of
coordinating
all
the
parts.
I'm
also
leading
up
the
inventory
analysis,
as
well
as
the
scenario
analysis
and
today
I
am
joined
by
shelby
chubby.
If
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
introduce
yourself
yeah.
G
Well,
I'm
using
becca's
audio.
So
if
it's
looking
a
little
funny,
that's
why
we're
sharing
the
microphone
so
hi,
everyone
I'm
shelby
summer,
I'm
a
senior
planner
with
friendly
group
and
a
member
of
our
leadership
team.
My
role
on
the
project
is
helping
provide
sort
of
the
architecture
or
engagement
process
and
strategy,
and
so
we're
joined
with
soviet
solutions
and
sydney's
on
today's
call,
as
well
as
our
climate,
justice
workers,
jelly
duckworth
justice
horn
and
our
brand
new
intern,
adalia
cabralis,
so
I'll
pass
it
over
to
stephanie
to
introduce
herself
next.
I
Thank
you
becca
and
shelby,
and
thank
you
to
the
steering
committee.
My
name
is
stephanie
smith.
I
serve
as
managing
partner
of
sofix
solutions,
we're
a
change
management
firm.
We
help
organizations,
navigate
change
through
an
equity
lens
and
we'll
be
guiding
and
supporting
our
engagement
team
in
ensuring
that
we
are
taking
an
equitable
look
at
this
work
and
so
I'll
pass
it
to
jelly.
So
she
can
introduce
herself.
R
S
Thank
you
jelly.
Thank
you
syrian
committee.
My
name
is
justice
horn.
I
used
he
slash
him
pronouns,
also
the
other
climate
justice
worker.
Also
one
of
the
echo
with
stephanie
stephanie,
said
as
well
as
jelly.
Our
primary
role
is
make
sure
that
disenfranchised
and
underrepresented
communities
are
well
represented
in
this
project,
that
their
voices
are
being
uplifted,
amplified
and
centered,
because
it'll
be
those
communities
that
are
hurt,
the
worst
when
the
climate
crisis
does
it.
S
I
D
Q
C
All
right,
thank
you,
becca
and
thanks
again,
everyone
I'm
I'm
so
excited
we
could
have
so
much
of
the
team
here
to
present
today
about
our
climate
protection
and
resiliency
plan.
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
guys
a
bit
of
history,
real
quick
on
this.
Most
of
you
are
probably
familiar,
but
kansas
city
has
had
a
climate
protection
plan
since
2008
that
comet
protection
plan
was
put
together
with
assistance
from
the
community
and
this
climate
protect
protection
steering
committee.
So
it's
been
around
a
long
time.
C
However,
we
all
know
2020
has
passed,
and
so
the
goals
that
we
had
set
for
ourselves
needed
to
be
updated
and
you
can
go
ahead
and
move
to
the
next
slide.
Becca,
so
incomes
resolution
two
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero.
Five!
That's
a
lot
of
zeros!
It's
really
easy
to
find
that
way.
If
you're
on
the
city
clerk's
page
because
of
all
the
zeros
just
keep
pushing
zeros,
but
this
this
particular
resolution
was
put
together
with
assistance
from
the
community.
C
and
internally,
just
to
walk
the
talk,
we
are
hoping
to
have
100
reduction
of
emissions
from
electricity
use
by
2022
through
some
partnerships
with
energy
and
then
the
for
municipal,
we're
expected
to
be
climate
neutral
by
2030..
So
we've
got
quite
a
lift
ahead
of
us
and
it's
one
that
we're
really
excited
about.
We
do
know
that
in
order
to
do
that,
we're
going
to
have
to
make
changes
on
the
utility
scale
and
also
in
the
building
and
transportation
sectors.
C
The
point
of
this
plan
is
to
make
sure
that
we
do
that
in
an
equitable
way,
without
causing
environmental
harm
to
historically
marginalized
and
climate
vulnerable
communities,
which
is
why
we're
doing
it
the
way
we
are.
We
also
know
that
our
original
climate
protection
plan
and
just
mitigating
the
climate
issue-
it
has
the
time
for
that
is
long
past,
and
we
must
now
also
become
a
resilient
city
and
adapt
the
climate
issues
that
are
facing
us
and
also
find
innovative
ways
to
sequester
carbon
through
both
natural
means
and
new
technologies.
C
So
we
are
looking
to
do
this
new
plan
so
that
we
can
try
to
meld
all
of
those
things
together.
It
is
a
messy
process
involving
many
many
many
stakeholders
for
those
of
you
that
have
read
resolution
05
it.
It's
there's
a
list,
there's
a
paragraph.
The
longest
thing
in
there
is
the
amount
of
groups
we
have
to
reach
out
to
and
get
input
for
on
this
plan,
which
is
which
is
a
big
lift.
C
Q
Q
So
we've
set
out
some
of
these
kind
of
key
markers
of
this
climate
protection
resiliency
plan.
We
want
to
build
on
existing
data,
as
laura
mentioned,
you
guys
have
been
doing
climate
action
for
many
years.
There's
been
great
efforts
both
in
the
city
and
regionally
that
we
want
to
pull
from
those
efforts
as
much
as
possible
and
not
duplicate
the
work.
Q
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
reaching
out
to
those
community-based
resources
and
advocacy
groups
that
are
already
doing
work
in
these
communities
and
how
we
can
support
them
to
kind
of
amplify
their
impact,
as
well
as
support
where
there's
some
gaps.
So
with
that
in
mind,
this
is
sort
of
our
big
timeline
for
kansas
city.
Q
Q
H
Q
Warming,
at
the
same
time,
we
know
that
climate
change
is
here
and
people
are
feeling
the
effects.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
city
is
adapting
to
it
and
providing
the
resources
for
neighborhoods
to
be
resilient
to
the
effects
of
their
feeling,
and
then
we're
going
to
base
this
all
in
this
equity
and
neighborhood-centered
engagement.
Q
Q
H
Q
And,
finally,
we
expect
vector-borne
diseases
to
increase,
as
well
as
things
are
getting
warmer,
we're
not
getting
those
freezing
events
that
kill
off
some
of
those
insects.
So
we
see
more
diseases
like
west
nile,
moving
into
places
that
they
haven't
been
before,
so
our
first
phase
is
really
kind
of
hearing
from
the
community
on
what
they're
experiencing
and
trying
to
match
it
up
with
the
data
that
we
already
have.
I
All
right,
thank
you
so
much
to
everyone.
It
has
been
a
delight
working
with
the
brendo
group
and
the
city
on
this
endeavor,
with
us
being
deeply
rooted
and
committed
to
making
sure
that
we
are
hearing
the
voices
of
all
kansas
citians
and
our
commitment
in
this
work
has
really
been
grounded
in
this
being
a
human
centered
equity
driven
approach,
which
means
just
by
a
fact
of
that
definition
that
our
willingness
to
monitor
and
adjust
and
to
make
sure
that
we're
centering
voices
and
so
before.
I
You
are
our
guiding
principles
that
really
ground
us
as
a
team.
In
doing
this
work,
and
many
of
you
all,
some
of
you
all
might
recall
that
in
our
first
presentation
to
you
all,
we
put
these
same
principles
up,
and
so
here
we
are
again
and
I'll.
Ask
a
similar
question
and
would
love
for
those
of
you
who
are
able
to
drop
in
the
chat
which
which
of
these
principles
really
stand
out
to
you,
as
you
think
about
your.
I
Why
your
commitment
to
climate
justice,
and
then
also
our
community,
and
how
we
get
there
if
you
could
drop
in
the
chat
which
ones
stand
out
to
you
and
I'll
pick
out
a
few
as
we
move
through
this
you'll,
be
able
to
hear
the
the
voices
and
the
work
of
jelly
justice
and
adelia
or
adelia's
news.
So
she'll
just
be
kind
of
going
along
with
this,
but
jelly
and
justice
in
what
they
have
been
able
to
engage
and
how
they've
been
able
to
engage.
I
So
we're
really
excited
not
only
that
we
are
committing
ourselves
as
a
city
to
this
work.
But
we're
saying
we
can't
do
this
without
the
voices
of
our
community
members
and
that
kind
of
really
goes
back
to
reinforcing
this
with
not
four,
so
this
being
willing
to
be
uncomfortable.
Thank
you
for
that,
because
being
willing
to
be
uncomfortable
is
a
really
important
one,
because
so
often
when
we
engage
in
conversations
that
have
to
do
especially
with
racial
equity
or
inequity
or
any
of
the
other
isms
that
infect
and
affect
our
community.
I
Also,
this
attempt
to
change
the
narrative.
Sometimes
there
can
be
narratives
that
certain
communities
don't
care
about
climate
when
the
truth
is
climate,
justice
and
injustice
affects
all
of
us,
and
so
of
course
we
all
care
right.
We
pay
utilities,
we're
walking
down
streets,
our
our
children.
We
want
them
to
breathe
and
be
healthy
right.
R
So
we
really
see
equity
as
the
conduit
to
our
long-term
goal
as
cl
to
climate
justice
and
having
a
definition
like
this.
One
not
only
holds
us
accountable
for
addressing
climate
change
and
ensuring
that
this
planning
process
and
the
outcomes
are
practical,
practical
and
equitable,
but
it
also
helps
us
acknowledge
the
need
to
help
heal
communities
in
the
process,
which
is
another
important
part
of
the
role
for
justice
and
I,
as
climate
justice
workers.
R
So
in
this
as
well.
We
have
to
be
intentional,
too
about
how
we
recognize,
historically
marginalized
communities
in
kansas
city
and
one
of
the
ways
that
we
did.
That
was
by
basing
our
information
off
of
target
areas
leveraged
by
mid-america
regional
councils,
great
research
on
their
risk
and
vulnerability
assessment,
and
specifically,
some
of
our
more
specified
research.
R
That
brindle
group
did
to
show
more
updated
vulnerabilities
of
communities
in
kansas
city,
and
so
we
used
those
maps
to
identify
specific
areas
that
were
not
only
disproportionately
impacted
by
climate
issues,
but
also
socioeconomic
issues
and
other
demographics
as
well.
So
when
we
identify
at-risk
communities,
we
want
to
be
sure
that
we
are
including
other
intersections
that
they
would
face
as
well.
R
So
that
is
how
we
started
to
prioritize
communities
that
we
were
going
to
start
engaging
with,
and
I
do
want
to
know
as
as
stefanie
said,
that
this
information
is
constantly
evolving,
because
we
are
making
sure
that
community
expertise
is
at
the
forefront
of
our
conversations.
So
we
are
open
to
more
interpretations
in
the
process
of
this,
so
go
to
the
next
slide.
R
So
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
intentional
about
explaining
just
the
justice
and
I's
roles
as
climate
justice
workers
as
facilitators
and
more
of
listeners
and
trust
builders
and
relationship
builders
in
this
process
with
all
of
these
groups
that
we
are
going
to
be
engaging
with
and
to
make
sure
that
we're
using
our
platform
to
bring
community
expertise
and
knowledge
to
the
table.
So,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
although
we
prioritize
historically
marginalized
communities
because
of
disproportionate
impacts
on
climate
inequities,
that
does
not
mean
that
it's
we're
excluding
all
other
communities
in
the
process.
R
So,
as
you
can
see
here,
we
are
wanting
to
make
sure
that
this
plan
is
has
as
much
of
a
robust
and
experienced
input
as
possible.
So
that
is
a
holistic
and
can
work
long
term,
so
we
are
starting
with
some
of
the
neighborhood
groups
and
also
going
to
be
working
our
way,
as
you
know,
you
guys
are
a
big
part
of
the
process.
R
Q
I
S
S
Personally,
I
have
a
lot
of
experience
in
the
social
justice
space
as
well
as
jelly,
but
we're
not
at
all
any
experts.
Our
role
in
this
project
is
to
be
facilitators,
for
the
community
is
to
further
uplift
amplify
and
bring
them
into
this
process.
Personally,
I
think,
when
the
community
has
more
hands
on
the
project,
if
they
feel
that
this
project
is
their
project,
they're
going
to
be
more
willing
to
get
behind
that,
and
that's
hopefully,
what
we
plan
to
do
kind
of
the
next
point
of
what
we're
doing
with
that
information.
S
It's
important
we're
taking
in
information,
but
what
exactly
are
we
doing
with
it?
We
plan
to
facilitate
conversations
like
I
said
before:
listening,
not
lecturing
and
really
just
being
there
to
hear
their
voices,
hear
their
personal
experience
and
and
really
if
we
can
make
sure
that
they're
a
part
of
every
single
part
of
this
project.
Secondly,
growing
an
understanding
of
the
socio-economic
and
cultural
issues
around
climate.
S
So
that
is
a
climate
issue
that
has
a
socioeconomic
issue
and
it's
a
cultural
issue
that
she's
not
able
to
get
out
of
the
neighborhood.
Lastly,
coupling
climate
related
information
with
other
community
challenges
and,
lastly,
co-creating
an
actionable
playbook
that
reflects
community
expertise.
I
really
want
to
leave
that
last
point
with
everyone.
S
I
And
thank
thank
you
justice
for
for
teeing
that
up,
because
when
we
talk
about
the
importance
of
valuing
the
lived
experiences
of
our
community
members
and
engaging
each
as
having
information
about
themselves
and
about
their
everyday
community,
that
can
actually
help
to
create
and
provide
viable
and
practical
solutions
that
move
us
closer
to
the
justice.
And
so
you
know,
hopefully
what
you
have
heard
shared
from
our
team.
I
So
you'll
see
that
all
the
the
voices
that
you
have
heard
from
today
and
names
mentioned
and
and
perhaps
even
those
that
haven't
especially
our
city
staff,
that
we
that
is
very
much
part
of
this
team
and
have
their
fingerprints
all
over
this,
but
we'll
all
be
able
to
to
come
together
to
go
about
this
work
and
building
this
cultural
culture
of
accountability
through
the
various
ways
that
you
see
on
your
screen.
And
so
we
have
since
already
begun
our
technical
stakeholder
interviews.
I
While
we
increase
and
and
amplify
the
voices
of
those
with
lived
experiences
we
want
to.
We
want
to
partner
that
with
the
subject
matter,
expertise
that
dwells
within
our
cities
and
with
within
our
organizations,
and
so
it's
been
really
great,
connecting
and
listening
and
learning
from
our
technical
stakeholders
as
we
continue
to
build
out
our
an
outreach
toolkit
and
it
had
been
mentioned
earlier.
But
there
has
been
great
work
that
has
already
been
in
in
the
making
right
that
I
have
people
who
have
already
been
championing
and
paving
the
way.
I
This
is
an
online
engagement,
and
so
we
wanted
to
be
able
to
have
an
online
engagement,
while
also
recognizing
that,
as
we
talk
about
cross
sector
and
cross-cultural
issues
or
opportunities,
we
know
that
we
also
have
a
broadband
access
issue
as
well
and
so
making
sure
that
we
are
not
just
stopping
short.
Even
in
the
midst
of
our
current
health
crisis,
that
we
are
finding
very
meaningful
and
viable
ways.
Even
if
it
takes
us
more
time
and
more
effort,
we
find
it
valuable.
I
Justice
mentioned
it
earlier,
but
I
find
it
important
to
mention
again
the
importance
of
coupling
this
climate
related
information
with
other
community
challenges.
We
know
that
these
things
don't
just
happen
in
a
vacuum
that
in
many
cases,
the
the
lack
of
climate
justice
that
exists
within
our
neighborhoods
perpetuates
and
sparks
other
incidents
and
vice
versa.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
thinking
holistically
about
this,
as
this
is
not
just
by
itself
and
so
we'll
continue
to
connect
the
dots
in
that
way.
S
I
And
just
real,
quick
justice.
Thank
you
shelby!
If
every,
if
you're
able
to
check
check
out
your
chat,
if
you
click
on
that
link
and
go
ahead
and
allow
it
to
open
up,
then
once
we
get
done
with
our
time,
we
invite
you
to
actually
share
to
join
this
conversation
and
share
your
story
and
provide
your
input
on
that.
In
addition
to
sharing
it,
as
justice
invited
you
to
do
so,.
I
S
Yeah,
so
I'll
I'll
go
ahead
and
start
with
the
first
one.
If
the
committee
doesn't
know
much
about
me,
a
lot
of
my
work
comes
from
primarily
the
social
justice
space,
as
well
as
the
black
space.
To
be
frank
with
you
all,
I'm
in
in
listening
to
a
lot
of
black
leadership,
the
black
community,
as
well
as
black
civil
rights,
community
and
civic
organizations,
a
lot
of
what
their
common
interests
are
kind
of
near-term
action.
S
That
is
because
of
a
policy
that
was
put
in
place
that
did
not
put
in
place
sustainable
and
green
housing,
as
well
as
access
to
cooling
centers,
as
well
as
just
how
there's
just
no
tree
coverage,
because
there
aren't
communities
that
are
built
frankly,
like
the
same
way,
some
of
our
other
neighborhoods
are
so.
There
was
a
greater
emphasis
for
some
near-term
action
and
that
would
look
like
planting
trees
having
trees
in
their
neighborhoods
starting
community
gardens
here
in
the
coming
months,
as
well
as
access
to
cooling.
S
Centers,
I
think,
when
you
just
a
metaphorical
term
and
story
that
was
used
by
a
lot
of
our
community
members,
you
think
of
the
elderly,
black
woman,
who
may
not
have
a
family
to
take
care
of
her
who
may
live
in
a
an
apartment
by
herself
and
for
example,
today
and
tomorrow,
when
it's
high
90s,
it
is
those
people
in
our
communities
who
are
feeling
that
as
well
as
then,
you
have
our
our
black
youth.
That
is
also
not
having
the
best
air
quality
because
of
where
they
live.
S
R
Thank
you
for
sharing
that
justice
yeah.
I
can
speak
on
my
side
of
things.
This
is
why
justice
and
I
make
a
great
pair
he's
more-
have
been
engaged
in
the
policy
sector
and
I
have
been
in
the
grassroots,
environmental,
justice
and
social
justice
sector
for
about
six
years
now.
So
I'm
really
looking
at
those
intersections
when
talking
to
communities
and
to
that
point,
do
you
want
to
make
sure
we
note
that
sometimes
talking
to
communities
about
climate
change
is
not
as
direct
as
naming
climate
change?
R
It
is
meeting
the
community
where
they
are
so
the
story
that
justice
was
referring
to
earlier.
I
do
think
it's
worth
mentioning
in
regards
to
this
woman,
who
was
actually
her
house
actually
was
falling
apart.
The
foundation
was
falling
apart
because
I
had
so
much
waste
water
that
had
flooded
the
basement
and
ended
up
like
eating
the
foundation
essentially.
R
But
when
I
started
the
conversation
with
her
and
her
another
community
member
that
was
part
of
their
neighborhood
alliance,
they
told
me
that
climate
issues
were
not
a
pressing
priority
in
their
community
at
all,
and
so
in
order
to
engage
in
more
conversation
to
kind
of
meet
in
the
middle.
You
just
ask
me
what
is
a
priority
and
it's.
R
That
transportation
is
also
a
huge
issue
on
the
flip
side
of
that,
there's
also
perspectives
on
the
streetcar
coming
in
and
making
sure
that,
even
though
we
are
having
sustainable
transportation,
we
are
also
being
considered
of
long-term
homeowners
and
the
gentrification
that
is
going
alongside
that.
So
those
are
also
main
priorities
that
that
we
need
to
have
input
in
when
we
are
talking
about
climate
solutions
like
having
sustainable
infrastructure
as
well.
R
There
is
creating
urban
and
the
urban
forestry
program,
where
they're
starting
to
locate
where
trees
need
to
be
in
communities
to
help
them
to
lower
their
energy
costs.
So
there
are,
there
are
great
practical,
immediate
solutions
like
we
were
touched
on
earlier,
that
the
community
wants
that
relate
to
some
of
the
even
long-term
goals
that
we
have
as
our
group
for
energy
efficient
buildings
on
the
line
and
infrastructure
and
things
going
forward.
S
And
and
joey
like
to
jump
in
on
just
one
more
item,
this
is
and
doing
a
lot
of
listening
to
a
lot
of
these
community
groups.
I
know
those
there
are
a
lot
of
our
community
groups
who
are
well
versed
in
in
issues
that
may
not
be
sustainability
related,
but
a
lot
of
our
civil
rights
organizations,
our
civic
organizations
and
community
organizations
are,
are
well
equipped
and
are
well
aware
how
climate
issues
are
related
to
climate
justice.
S
So
just
really
wanted
to
pose
to
the
group
that
the
fight
for
black
liberation,
the
fight
for
sustainable
issues,
the
fight
for
queer
liberation,
so
on
and
so
forth,
are
interconnected
and
a
lot
of
people
in
this
work
are
seeing
that
that's.
Why
there's
such
an
emphasis
on
not
only
sustainability
but
more
importantly,
climate
justice,
and
what
exactly
that
looks
like.
I
Thank
you,
justice
for
lifting
that
up
and
that
really
leads
us
to
giving
some
more
insight
in
the
upcoming
phases
and
so
jelly.
If
I
can
invite
you
back
to
really
walk
us
through
phases,
two
through
four.
I
also
want
to
share
with
you
all
my
gratitude
for
taking
time
to
listen
to
us.
I
will
have
to
transition
off
to
move
to
another
meeting
here
right
a
little
bit
after
four,
but
the
team
will
remain
here
to
answer
any
questions
and,
of
course
any
way
that
I
can
answer
those
questions.
R
Thank
you
stephanie
for
being
here
and
showing
up,
as
always
so
with
that,
as
we
talked
about
the
beginning
phases
really
having
those
one-on-one
community
conversations
and
more
grassroots
conversations
are
going
to
lead
us
into
aligning
those
with
some
of
our
research
and
the
data
that
we
have
and
making
sure
that
we
are.
We
are
bringing
that
input
to
to
start
talking
about
the
solutions
that
come
up
next,
so
in
the
phase
two,
we
really
are
trying
to
get
at
what?
R
Do
you
want
to
see
and
and
specifically
at
the
neighborhood
hyperlocal
level,
because,
as
we
know,
it
varies
sometimes
neighborhood
to
neighborhood
block
to
block
so
that
data
that
hyperlocal
data
is
extremely
important
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
and
start
to
brainstorm
and
explore
what
those
solutions
will
look
like
again,
both
short
term
and
long
term,
and
after
we
go
through
that
phase,
we
really
are
trying
to
analyze.
What
what
can
we
do?
R
What's
going
to
have
the
most
impact,
not
only
for
the
neighborhood,
but
for
for
the
surrounding
businesses
and
organizations
that
are
supporting
those
neighborhoods
as
well,
so
really
prioritizing
their
priorities,
and
then
the
you
know,
fourth
phase
is
just
my
favorite
one
is
to
mobilize:
let's
bring
them
together
and
actually
start
acting
on
these
things.
What
can
we
implement?
C
C
Obviously
you
guys
are
our
steering
committee
and
all
of
your
input
is
important,
but
we'd
also
like
to
make
sure
if
you're
not
doing
it
already,
that
you
are
recognizing
climate
change
and
the
climate
crisis
for
what
it
is
and
asking
others
to
do
the
same
and,
of
course,
taking
action
within
your
own
organizations
and
taking
action
at
the
political
level
to
help
move
this
forward.
Like
I
said
in
the
beginning,
we
know
the
big
things
we're
going
to
have
to
change
utility
scale,
energy
transportation,
building
envelopes.
C
We
understand
all
of
those
things
so,
but
we
we
need
your
help
to
make
sure
that
these
move
forward
politically,
so
that
we
can
make
the
big
changes
in
this
plan.
The
other
thing
we
really
want
for
you
all
is
to
help
spread.
The
word
about
the
engagement
website.
That's
out
here
and
we
love
that
people
are
taking
the
climate
survey
as
many
people
as
can
take.
The
survey
as
possible
would
be
great,
but
also
share
your
climate
story.
C
If
you
know
somebody,
that's
got
a
great
climate
story,
either
a
success
or
even
even
a
way
the
city
might
have
failed
them.
We
would
love
to
hear
those
stories.
The
more
stories
that
are
on
that
engagement
website,
the
more
people
read
them
and
they'll
go.
Oh
wait.
I
didn't
think
that
was
related
to
climate
that
wow.
I
can
totally
share
my
story.
So
more
stories
lead
to
more
stories,
lead
to
more
stories
lead
to
more
public
input,
which
is
really
really
what
we
need.
C
We
also
have
a
map
on
the
engagement
site
that
you
can
add
areas
where
you
think
we've
made
climate
successes
and
areas
that
may
have
been
failures,
and
that
can
be
just
from
a
we're
tearing
down
natural
resources
or
we
built
a
park
or
mike
kelly
was
able
to
get
a
really
cool
new
bike
trail
through
an
area.
So
make
sure
you
note
those
on
the
map,
so
we
can
start
to
see
a
big
picture
of
where
kansas
city
is
excelling
and
where
we
are
not
and
then
below.
We
have
upcoming
events.
C
These
are
a
few
events
that
we're
looking
to
try
to
reach
out
to
people
at
with
covet.
Of
course,
we
never
know
exactly
how
that's
going
to
go,
but
we're
working
hard
to
try
to
be
at
these
events,
and
we
would
love
other
suggestions
of
upcoming
events,
where
we
can
have
a
moment
not
like
a
loud
concert,
but
we
could
actually
sit
and
have
a
moment
to
talk
with
any
of
the
attendees
about
climate
change
issues.
C
So
if
you
have
something
coming
up
that
you
think
would
be
a
value
for
us
to
share
just
a
little
time
or
if
you
know
of
a
specific
organization.
That's
really
looking
for
some
kind
of
climate
presentation.
We
will
try
and
make
that
happen,
and
on
that
note
I
think
the
plan
was
to
turn
it
over
to
you
all
for
your
questions
and
comments,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
because
all
right
sounds
like
we're
in
a
good
place.
So
thanks
again,
everyone.
H
H
O
This
is
michael
kelly,
first
off.
Thank
you
again
for
the
presentation
question
that
I
had
is
which
you
explain
in
the
equitable
engagement
overview,
that
one
of
your
focuses
would
be
on
the
number
of
people
you
reach
in
targeted
areas.
Can
you
give
me
a
bit
of
an
explanation
on
what
you
are
defining
as
targeted
areas.
R
R
So
there
is
research
done
by
mid-america
regional
council
and
more
specified
research
done
by
brindle
group
that
really
assessed
where
communities
were
going
to
be
most
at
risk
in
vulnerable
and
then
the
components
of
that
were
not
only
climate
related
issues
but
also
socioeconomic
and
demographics.
So
we're
looking
at
you
know,
specifically
one
of
the
areas
I
remember
in
the
map
that
was
really
prone
to
heat
was
up
in
northeast
and
east
side
over
there.
R
So
that's
specifically
a
really
high
dense,
as
you
well
know,
immigrant
population
and
black
african
american
population
over
there,
so
that
that's
what
we're
referring
to
so
those
maps
really
show
us
taking
those
three
components
of
demographics,
socioeconomic
disparities
and
climate
inequities,
coupling
all
of
that
and
then
showing
us
who's
most
at
risk,
so
we're
really
trying
to
prioritize
conversations
with
them.
First,
I
hope
that
answered
your
question.
P
P
Shoot
sorry,
I
was
having
trouble
unmuting.
Yes,
thanks
so
much
for
the
presentation
and
for
the
great
work
you're
doing
I
just
my
question
is
about
the
prioritization
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
could
tell
me
more
tell
us
more
about
what
kind
of
that.
What
does
that
look
like?
Is
there
a
certain
framework,
you're
you're
using
or
you
know,
how
will
solutions
be
prioritized
in
this
plan.
Q
We
know
that's
going
to
be
one
of
the
big
buckets,
but
then
what
we
really
want
to
do
is
look
at
what
the
community
members
are
telling
us
from
that
kind
of
bottom-up
approach
and
saying:
okay,
what's
the
best
way
to
do
that,
because
we
know
if
we
have
the
community
support,
we're
going
to
get
more
implementation
and
more
action
and
more
actual
results,
so
it
will
really
be
a
marrying
of
that
top-down
analysis.
Leveraging
the
regional
work.
P
Q
Yeah,
absolutely
so
that's
not
to
answer
your
question
with
a
question,
but
we
do
have
two
more
meetings
scheduled
with
you
all
and
so
we're
our
current
thinking
about
that
is
we'll
have
a
one
kind
of
at
the
end
of
phase
one
beginning
of
phase
two,
which
is
here's.
What
we've
heard
from
our
communities?
Q
What
strategies
do
you
think
we
should
start
looking
at
kind
of
into
that
brainstorming
phase
two
and
then
we'll
come
back
kind
of
into
that
beginning
of
phase
three
and
say:
okay,
here's
all
the
strategies
that
we
have.
Where
do
you
think
we
should
put
our
effort?
Where
do
you
think
we
have
can
have
the
biggest
bang
for
our
buck?
You
know
really
leveraging
you
guys
as
some
of
our
technical
experts
and
making
sure
that
we're
getting
your
input
in
there
on
where
we
think
you
can
have
the
biggest
impact.
So
we.
F
And
becca,
if
I
might
also
robin
just
one
of
our
roles
for
the
city,
is
to
help
work
with
the
climate
protection
steering
committee
you're,
certainly
not
going
to
be
focused
or
forced
into
just
two
more
meetings
to
hear
what
the
climate
or
the
consultants
have
to
say.
I
think
one
of
the
things
we
need
to
hear
from
the
committee
is:
what
is
your
frequency?
F
What
are
you
guys
wanting
to
do
and
then
leave
it
to
myself
and
my
staff
to
figure
out
what
under
the
contract
we
grendel
we
can
accommodate,
and
you
know
we
have
some
flexibility
with
our
funding.
I
can
we
can
make
things
happen
where
we
need
to
so
I
don't
want
it
to
sound
like
we're,
trying
to
be
so
rigid
that
this
is
what
you're
going
to
get
with
brendall,
and
that's
it
it's
it's
my
role
in
lara's
role
to
make
sure
we
steer.
F
B
Thank
you
very
much.
It
was
an
excellent
presentation.
Sorry
I
didn't
say
that
earlier,
but
while
we
have
you
on,
can
you
tell
us,
in
terms
of
scheduling
and
a
final
deliverable
to
city
council
on
march
31st
working
back
from
that?
Strangely,
as
it
sounds,
that's
only
seven
months
from
now
and
you
have
a.
B
Q
Q
Q
Yeah,
so
the
way
we
have
it
drafted
out
right
now
is
thinking
about
meeting
with
you
all
again
in
september,
sort
of
end
of
phase
one
beginning
of
phase
two
and
then
another
time
in
november,
which
would
be
kind
of
between
two
and
three,
but
again
as
they
mentioned.
That's
all
flexible,
depending
on
where
you
guys
want
your
input
and
then
obviously
there'd
be
the
draft
plan
for
your
review
and
comment
likely
in
january.
C
And
also
I
just
I
wanted
to
mention
they
are,
and
I
becca
said
this
earlier
on:
they
are
working
through
municipal
and
community-wide
greenhouse
gas
inventories
and
a
community
vulnerability
and
risk
assessment
for
us
as
well.
Right
now,
and
those
two
plans
are
not
completely
those
those
two
pieces
are
not
finished
yet
and
once
they're
finalized
that'll.
Give
us
also
give
you
all
something
else
to
look
at
to
help
make
decisions
right.
Q
K
Hi,
I
want
to
echo
everyone
who
has
spoken
so
far.
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
great
presentation.
You
all
are
doing
really
great
work
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
and
that
this
work
is
informing
the
plan.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
about
some
data
points.
A
couple
of
things
in
your
presentation
that
really
resonated
with
me
was
one
meeting
people
where
they
are
into.
You
know
talking
about
these
issues
in
the
form
of
issues
that
they
are
experiencing.
K
So
everybody
on
this
meeting
probably
knows
that
kansas
city
is
one
of
the
tops,
a
list
of
cities
to
and
to
experience,
climate
change.
We
also
have
a
really
serious,
affordable
housing
crisis
in
the
city.
I
think
we're
also
at
the
top
of
the
list
of
decreasing,
affordable
housing.
So
I'm
wondering
if
evictions
are
a
part
of
this
lens
and
my
secondary
question
would
be
if
utility
shutoffs
are
also
a
part
of
this
lens
in
organizing
work.
K
You
know
I've
talked
to
folks
who
are
getting
their
utility
shut
off
and
93
degree
weather
when
the
hot
weather
rule
starts
at
95
degrees,
and
so
that
to
me
is
a
huge
equity
problem
and
when
we,
the
utility
shutoff
data,
isn't
quite
as
clear
that
would
require
a
little
bit
of
a
heavier
lift
with
our
public
service
commission.
But
I
really
do
think
it
is
incumbent
upon
us
if
we
are
going
to
be
tracking.
Q
S
Yeah,
I
think
it's
it's
a
phenomenal
point.
I
think
when,
when
talking
about
who
those
who
are
greatly
affected
by
this,
it
is
those
who
are
already
suffering
the
most
from
external
forces
already
and
for
other
forces
to
step
in
and
also
causing
great
suffering.
I
think
this
is
without
a
doubt
needs
to
be
added.
I
think
we'll
obviously
talk
about
this,
but
you
all
are
steering
committee
and
if
this
is
where
you
think
we
need
to
scare
it
and
so
be
it
learn
with
them.
S
Q
And
I
think
it
also
further
like
goes
with
what
jelly
said
a
little
bit
about
infrastructure
and
energy
efficient
homes,
because
if
you
have
a
home,
that's
not
energy,
efficient,
you're,
more
likely
to
spend
more
on
your
utility
bills
and
therefore
get
behind
on
your
bills,
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
So.
N
Absolutely
so,
if
I'd
like
to
jump
into
second,
what
beth
was
saying
and
add
that
there
are
administrative
and
block
blocks
and
a
lack
of
flow
of
information
that
are
causing
funds
that
are
intended
to
relieve
people
from
their
utility
bills
to
not
get
spent
both
in
the
water
department
and
in
the
electric
utility
and
possibly
in
the
natural
gas
utility
too.
I
don't
know,
but
we're
we've
been
working
with
elizabeth
danforth
at
evergy
for
some
weeks
on
this
and
it
we
haven't
gotten
to
the
bottom
of
it.
Yet.
N
I
I
have
a
question
I
I
my
question
is
I
and
it's
largely
directed
at
andy?
I
know
that
one
of
the
reasons
that
we've
had
trouble
with
the
2008
climate
protection
plan
is,
we
simply
haven't,
had
the
funds
to
do
what
that
2008
plan
set
out
for
us
to
do
so.
For
example,
the
2008
plan
had
150
000
trees
as
one
of
the
goals,
and
there
was
no
funding
to
follow
up
to
make
sure
that
those
trees
were
there.
N
We
know
that's
going
to
be
a
big
issue
for
us,
with
whatever
we
decide
to
do
with
climate
protection
andy.
What
is
your
sense
of
the
flow
of
the
potential
flow
of
funds
from
federal
funds
that
might
help
us
in
this
venture?
And
what
would
the
timing
of
those
federal
funds
be
because
I'd
like
to
be
ready
with
a
bucket
to
catch
them
as
soon
as
they
start
flowing
through
the
pipeline?.
F
Yeah,
so
we've
been
monitoring,
of
course,
the
infrastructure
bills
and
all
that
the
city
manager
has
asked
all
of
us
directors
to
kind
of
kind
of
keep
a
list
of
those
wish
lists
those
infrastructure
projects
ready
to
go
shovel
ready
type
of
projects.
So
we've
got
an
active
list
that
department
directors
have
been
adding
to,
of
course,
just
recently
the
senate.
Just
of
course
passed.
You
know,
their
version
of
of
the
bill
needs
to
go
over
the
house.
Now.
F
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
campaigning
behind
the
scenes
and
a
lot
of
lobbying
behind
the
scenes
on
trying
to
get
dollars
kind
of
funneled
into
that
area,
and
those
dollars
of
course,
would
be
kind
of
funneled
into
different
departments
within
the
federal
organization.
So
still
looking
pretty
good
it's
you
know
there
were
some
cuts
here
and
there,
but
it's
not
certainly
not
final.
It
particularly
since
then
still
needs
to
go
to
the
house.
So
from
the
federal
level.
F
Hopefully
we'll
have
something:
that's
more
focused
that
our
modeling
shows
that
will
help
us
reach
our
goals.
But
you
know
it
kind
of
helps
us
focus
our
staff
time
as
well
as
knowing
where
we
can
go
with
the
funding
sources
for
it.
So
that's
in
our
contract
with
brendall.
It
was
something
we
were
very
specific
to
put
into
that.
To
kind
of
help
us
focus
on
that
funding
issue.
N
So,
and-
and
I
would
like
to
to
just
shore
up
what
andy
just
said
by
adding
for
brendel's
sake-
that
it
seems
clear
to
us
that
the
city
itself,
municipal
funds,
are
not
going
to
be
sufficient
to
do
what
needs
to
be
done
to
for
for
preparedness,
and
therefore,
engagement
of
private
funding
needs
to
be
an
important
strategy
in
the
in
our
overall
climate
plan
and
that
that's
not
an
easy,
easy
ask.
But
I
think
it
has
to
be
part
of
it.
Q
B
Q
B
Okay,
so
next
on
the
agenda,
I
just
wanted
to
talk
briefly
about
scheduling,
future
meetings
and
future
topics
for
future
meetings.
It's
it
seems
to
me
that
over
the
next
few
months,
we
really
probably
will
have
to
be
laser
focused
on
the
development
of
the
plan
and
and
prioritizing
and
funding,
and
all
these
other
ideas
that
we've
been
talking
about.
B
So
I
don't
want
to
overlook
the
possibility
of
adding
other
topics
to
it.
I,
I
am
a
little
concerned
that
our
plates
are
going
to
be
pretty
full,
just
in
at
least
the
next
two
to
three
months
with
getting
this
plan
to
take
shape,
but
that
said,
we
typically
haven't
met
as
a
committee
on
a
monthly
basis,
but
I
think
over
the
next
few
months,
maybe
the
next
three
months
we
probably
ought
to
plan
for
monthly
andy
I'd
like
to
hear
what
you
and
your
staff
think
about
that.
B
F
The
ordinance
basically
said
that
the
committee
could
stay
on
to
continue
on
the
implementation
side.
So,
of
course,
this
is
a
new
planning
process.
So,
of
course,
we
are
very
active
at
this
moment,
certainly
amenable
to
monthly
or
or
whatever
we
may
not
again.
I,
if
you
want
brendel
at
the
table
again,
it's
gonna
be
a
matter
of
us
finding
out
how
much
time
we
need
of
them
for
funding
purposes,
to
modify
our
contract
accordingly
or
is
there
situations
where
I
can
have
laura
and
the
team?
F
I'm
more,
you
know
we
can
certainly
pick
a
day,
you
know,
and
do
it
the
same
day
of
the
month
or
if
folks,
like
the
process,
we
we
used
just
on
this
on
this
particular
meeting,
where
we
basically
did
a
poll
and
had
five
or
six
days
available
of
the
month,
that
that
we
let
people
vote
on
and
then
we
kind
of
went
with
the
one
that
had
the
most
votes.
We
could
do
it
that
way,
I'm
certainly
open
for
whatever
the
committee
wants
to
do.
B
M
Sorry-
and
I
also
have
to
have
my
camera
off
because
my
internet
is
choosing
violence
today,
but
yes,
I
definitely
agree
with
the
idea
of
maybe
you
know
the
lara
and
andy
and
everybody
kind
of
filling.
You
know
like
giving
us
an
update
and
we
have
a
meeting,
so
we
don't
have
to
extend
the
contract
and
spend
money
on
that
because,
as
we
know,
we're
going
to
be
putting
a
lot
of
money
into
this
plan
and
so
I'm
very
willing
to
meet
monthly.
L
This
is
bill.
I
would
definitely
want
a
september
meeting.
I
think
we
have
other
things
on
our
plate
and
I
would
probably
like
to
see
staff
update
us
on
brindle
group
unless
there's
something
you
know
very
compelling
where
we
need
them
to
fill
in.
At
that
point-
and
I
imagine,
echoing
tom,
we
probably
need
an
october
november
meeting,
but
I
don't
want
to
get
too
far
ahead
of
my
skis.
B
F
Yeah
I
mean,
and
for
purposes
of
setting
that
meeting
up
it
takes
us
probably
about
a
two
week
time
period
administratively
to
you
know,
get
the
agenda
set
up
to
do
the
polling
to
do
the
agenda
to
get
the
notice
to
the
clerk's
office
and
get
it
all
posted.
So
if
you
are
interested
in
doing
a
september
meeting,
then
I
can
certainly
get
started
on
at
least
getting
that
scheduled
and
get
the
polling
going,
and
then
that
would
allow
tom
to
work
with
the
rest
of
the
committee
members.
P
H
F
If
there's
any
specific
information
that
you
folks
need
certainly
reach
out
to
me,
I'm
your
liaison
to
the
steering
committee
to
the
office
so
certainly
reach
out.
If
there's
background
information
documents,
whatever
you
think
you
need
you
just
send
me
a
note
and
or
rachel
would
be
the
other
person
we'll
we'll
get
back
what
you
need
so
that
you
can
kind
of
do
your
homework.
If
you
want
to
call
it
that
okay.
B
Well,
andy,
it
sounds
like
brendell
will
have
a
you
know
something
they
want
to
present
to
us
in
september,
whether
they
can
do
that
through
staff
or
whether
they
feel
the
need
to
do
that
themselves.
I
I
suppose
we
can
talk
about
that.
Maybe
as
we
get
closer,
it
sounds
like
the
committee
is
amenable
to
just
having
staff
present.
If
that,
if
that's
necessary
or
if
that's,
if
that's
feasible,
and
you
know
withholding
some
of
those
later
dollars,
you
know
to
be
used
later,
if
necessary,
right.
F
So
let
laura-
and
I
work
with
brendel,
we'll
we'll
talk
to
them
in
the
next
week
or
two
we're
going
to
do
a
debriefing
after
this
as
well,
but
we'll
see
how
it
goes
in
the
next
week
or
two
and
we'll
we'll
pose
that
question
directly
to
brendell.
If
they
think
september
is
just
it's,
it's
the
opportune
time
for
them
to
bring
back
what
they
need
to
to
the
steering
committee.
If
they're
saying
that
it's
fine,
we
could
push
them
back
a
month.
We'll
do
that.
B
L
B
F
Well,
I
I'm
completely
fine.
I
would
normally
put
the
agenda
together
with
the
chair,
so
I
usually
leave
it
to
the
chair
to
reach
out
to
the
committee
members
and
kind
of
gather
their
input
so
that
more
or
less
I
have
one
contact
and
you
know
with
it
with
a
chair,
particularly
so,
whether
it's
the
emc
or
the
steering
committee,
that's
typically
who
I'm
working
directly
with
so
I
my
suggestions,
be
let
you
tom
pull
the
committee
members
to
see
what
agenda
items
you
would
like.
L
B
B
J
H
F
F
So
elvard
would
usually
give
us
some
type
of
guidance
to
the
steering
committee
in
terms
of
how
many
of
you
should
be
meeting
and
without
a
public
notice.
So
there
might
be
some
guidance
we'll
forward
to
you
to
just
kind
of
be
aware
of
that,
so
that
we're
following
all
the
sunshine,
our
requirements.
Okay,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
not
an
attorney.
I'm
not
citizen,
I'm
not
going
to
say
what
they
are
right,
but
I'll
defer
to
eluvar
to
kind
of
send
that
out
electronically.
B
B
T
Just
you
know
just
just
a
reminder
and
I'm
sure
each
and
every
one
of
us
know
this,
but
just
to
reaffirm
it.
You
know
that
that
our
climate
crisis
and
our
ecological
crisis
are
existential
threats.
So
you
know
it's
it's
becoming
more
and
more
obvious
that
it's
becoming
a
whole
lot
more
serious.
So
just
just
reaffirming
that
this
not.
H
U
Yes,
thank
you
so
much,
mr
green.
Thank
you,
members
of
the
of
the
committee,
congratulations
to
all
of
new
members
on
your
appointment
and
just
thank
you
all
for
your
work
again.
Trying
to,
I
guess,
put
up,
because
I
just
want
to
say
that,
as
we
all,
as
has
been
mentioned,
the
ipcc
report
releasing
being
released
yesterday
and
with
along
with
another
dire
warning,
and
I
think
we're
just
finally
coming
out
this
week
after
umpteen
days
of
air
quality
warnings
related
to
for.
U
To
wildfires
in
the
west,
it's
I
think
we
all
understand,
like
the
seriousness
of
the
moment
we
face,
but
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
the
report
meant
to
reveal,
I
think,
is
that
while
humans
are
such
a
driving
force
with
the
climate
crisis,
it
also
means
that
there's
a
lot
of
power
vested
in
humanity
and
in
leaders
such
as
yourselves
to
help
right
the
ship
so
that
we
can
lead
folks
into
a
healthier
more
resilient
future.
Commend
you
on
that,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
V
V
F
Yeah,
I
might
just
kind
of
do
a
tie
in
a
little
prelude
to
that.
So
tomorrow
is
the
environmental
management
commission,
and
that
is
on
the
agenda.
There
will
be
kind
of
an
update
to
the
climate
plan
for
the
commission
as
well,
just
myself
kind
of
going
over
a
few
points.
So
it's
going
to
be
fairly
brief,
but
there
is
more
direct
conversation
about
the
declaration
and
what
other
cities
are
doing
around
the
country.
F
So
you
know
is
this
something
that
the
commission
will
take
on
themselves
or
will
they
partner
with
the
climate
protection
steering
committee,
or
would
they
defer
this
to
the
climate
protection
steering
committee?
So
this
is
all
something
that
we'll
see
how
the
conversation
goes
and
I'll
kind
of
carry
that
to
this.
This
particular
committee
for
consideration,
probably
at
the
next
meeting.
F
F
F
W
Sorry,
I'm
trying
to
get
unmuted.
I
I
did
just
want
to
note
that
there
is
the
regional
climate
action
planning
effort
happening
right
now
as
well,
and
I
didn't
hear
it
discussed
almost
at
all
through
this
conversation,
I'm
sure
to
make
sure
that
that
that
those
dots
are
being
connected,
that
there's
some
kind
of
collaboration
happening
between
these
kind
of
scales
of
climate
planning.
F
Yeah,
jeremy-
and
that
was-
and
I
completely
left
that
off
that
was
part
of
maybe
some
strategy
that
we
need
to
talk
about
where
we
can
maybe
do
a
presentation
of
council
for
the
regional
plan
and
then
follow
up
with
a
discussion
about
where
we
are
with
our
city
specific
plan.
So
thank
you
for
chiming
in
I.
I
meant
to
throw
that
in
there
when
I
was
thinking
about
this
meeting
and
that
one
slipped
out,
but
that's.
M
W
F
F
But
city
planning
is,
at
this
point
wanting
to
defer
with
the
climate
protection
planning
process
and
see
where
that
goes
so
just
want
to
make
sure
people
are
aware
that
the
energy
code
from
the
city
perspective
we're
not
ignoring
it.
We
know
that
this
is
a
big
one,
but
we
want
to
kind
of
funnel
this
through
the
climate
protection
planning
process,
first
see
how
far
we
can
get.
If
we
can
come
to
some
resolutions
on
that
or
or
some
agreements
and
if
not
then
it'll
go
back
to
city
planning
for
further
discussions.
W
Okay
and
there's
a
lot
you
could
do
to
set
it
up
so
that
the
the
moment
that
climate
action
plan
comes
out,
you've
got
it
locked
and
loaded
and
done
and
ready
and
it's
a
win
on
day
one.
So
don't
I
would
discourage
you
from
waiting
until
a
climate
action
plan
is
done
in
2022
to
start
talking
about
adopting
a
2021
energy
code.
