Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
C
In
a
word,
yes,
I
I
mean
I've.
I've
received
comments
from
varying
viewpoints.
Sierra
club
sent
us
about
112
comments
in
a
spreadsheet,
so
that's
that's
kind
of
a
microcosm
for
what
is
has
been
there.
So
I
think
the
estimate
that
I've
heard
at
this
point
is
that
there's
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
about
seven
to
eight
hundred
comments
that
have
been
submitted
so
yeah
people,
people
had
a
lot
of
things
to
say.
C
D
A
A
A
B
C
G
A
B
A
H
Okay,
no,
yes,
I
can
always
yell
too
so
do
we
have
in
this
is
what
we're
going
into
year,
four
or
three
of
the
report.
Do
we
have
any
sort
of
indication
measure
proxy
of
the
impact
that
it's
had
like?
Has
it
swayed
opinions?
Has
it
informed,
raised
awareness
of
council
members?
Is
it?
Does
anyone
have
any
insight
at
all
on
that.
B
If
I
could
comment
my
experience
lately
or
the
past
year
would
be
that
the
emc
has
as
well
as
the
climate
protection
steering
committee.
Both
both
committees
commissions
has
a
more.
I
would
say,
the
council
has
more
of
awareness
of
what
you're
doing
and
actually,
I
think,
values
your
opinion
and
you
know,
has
reached
out
over
the
past
year
for
various
issues
or
topics
to
bring
to
the
committee
or
the
commission.
A
A
B
B
B
H
It's
it's
the
orientation
that
we're
all
taking
as
a
community
as
a
commission,
hopefully
as
individuals,
but
also
you
know
just
looking
at
the
makeup
of
our
very
very
white
committee
we'd.
That
would
be
a
very
glaring
omission
if
they
pulled
up
and
saw
saw
us
not
talking
about
that
and
making
and
then
saw
that
we
were
composed
of
largely
white
members.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
always
sort
of
remembering
to
interweave
that
in
a
meaningful
and
important
way
through
our
work.
H
A
D
D
They
can't
do
them
all,
but
they're
going
to
choose
some
and
then
they're
going
to
do
climate,
effective
sort
of
applications
like
maybe
a
food,
forest
or
or
various
parts
of
the
lawn,
maybe
in
different
habitats
using
berms
and
inoculate
inoculants.
That
will
up
the
fungal
content
of
the
soil,
and
so
that's
a
that's
kind
of
a
pretty
neat
thing.
And
if
the
publicity
goes
well
on
it,
it
could
move
that
dial
a
little
bit
and
then,
of
course,
I'm
just
beginning
to
think
of
there's
a
codes
thing
going
on
too.
D
D
D
D
A
Well,
that
is,
I
appreciate
it
marty
and
what
I
wanted
everyone
to
think
about
is.
This
is
one
example
of
where
a
lot
of
pieces
are
coming
together
and
if
we
can
do
a
good
job
of
illuminating
for
the
council,
that
this
is
something
that
they
can
support,
communicate
about,
understand
and
see
as
a
piece
of
the
puzzle.
Now,
I'm
sure
there
are
a
multitude
of
other
specifics
in
the
plans
that
we
can
do
the
same
kind
of
thing.
I
Can
can
you
hear
me
now?
Oh
yeah,
I
can.
Oh,
my
my
sound
was
was
messed
up.
Yeah
marty
and
I
talked
this
morning,
but
we've
got
a
bunch
of
things
happening
that
involve
students
working
with
neighborhoods
and
doing
soil
characterizations,
not
only
microbial
work,
but
we're
also
going
to
be
doing
some
dna.
I
A
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
ben's.
I
don't
know
what
you
call
that
your
comments.
I
really
like
the
idea
of
block
captains
because
I'm
in
a
neighborhood
and
we
have
block
captains
all
up
and
down
the
neighborhood,
and
I
don't
know
how
many
other
neighborhoods
do
that
and
we're
actually
sort
of
trying
to
incorporate
environmental
things
within
what
the
block
captain
does.
But
is
that
a
format
that
is
familiar
across
the
city.
J
So
I
know
that
that
is
mentioned
in
the
actual
climate
protection
and
resiliency
plan
itself
too,
and
sorry
for
being
late.
I
tried
logging
in
at
four
o'clock
and
teams
crashed
twice
before
coming.
Have
you
ever
been
in
a
foyer
trapped
for
20
minutes?
It's
not
the
best
yeah,
so
I
think
andy
said
that
he
just
wanted
kind
of
a
summary
of
my
draft
contributions.
J
But
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
people
in
our
community
are
not
going
to
have
access
to
that
or
can
have
very
limited
access
to
that.
So
climate
captains
can
help
in
extreme
heat
events.
If
there's
a
power
outage,
they
can
go
to
their
neighbors
and
make
sure
that
they're
all
right
and
then
in
times
when
there's
not
a
tornado
or
a
heat
wave
or
a
flood
or
a
drought
which
might
not
be
that
long.
J
You
know
a
stipend
program
would
also
be
an
incentive
for
people
to
sign
up
for
it,
especially
people
who
might
be
very
passionate
about
this,
but
of
limited
means,
and
then
they
can
also.
You
know,
act
as
a
dispersal.
You
know
unit
of
information.
This
can
be
someone
who
goes
to
their
neighbors
and
informs
them
about
programs
like
energy
efficiency,
or
you
know
whatever
the
city
is
working
on
at
the
time.
So
that
was
the
first
thing
that
I
wanted
to
kind
of.
J
So
if
you
have
a
300
foot
yard,
you
get
900
bucks
to
tear
up
your
lawn
and
start
fresh
with
some
native
plants
benefit,
for
that
is
both
to
the
community,
to
the
homeowner
and
to
any
burgeoning
professionals
that
are
working
with
native
plants
and
trying
to
get
their
legs
helping
their
community
grow.
These
things
either
on
a
commercial
or
a
residential
scale.
So
it
could
also
be
an
economic
booster
for
a
green
economy.
I
J
A
I
H
J
But
the
the
thing
that's
going
to
perk
people's
ears
up
is
how
fast
can
it
get
me
from
point
a
to
point
b,
you
know,
and
so,
if
we've
already
created
a
transit
system
in
which
people
are
like,
you
know
incredibly
angry
anytime,
they
have
to
slow
down
at
all
in
kansas
city.
Jacob
wagner
joked
that
the
number
one
best
way
to
anger,
a
kansas
citian
is
to
drive
the
speed
limit.
J
J
This
is
where
I
wanted
the
city
to
get
into
the
nuts
and
bolts
and
dollars
and
sense
of
how
this
can
help
people
and
how
this
can
be
a
booster
for
equity,
a
booster
for
dignity
and
a
booster
for
people
power.
So
essentially
you
know
when,
for
anybody
I
know
jensen,
you
were
there
at
this
climate
summit
on
saturday
molly
you
were
there.
Brian
platt
talked
about
how
the
city
is
going
to
save
5
million
dollars
in
the
switch
to
leds.
J
That's
the
exact
budget.
We
asked
for
for
the
urban
forest
master
plan
in
2018.,
so
using
money
that
we
can
save
through
these
changes
for
the
city
and
reinvesting
that
in
community
in
electricians
that
are
going
to
help
us
power
our
homes
in
green
infrastructure,
in
these
burgeoning
industries
that
people
are
going
to
use
to
gain
a
leg
up,
especially
in
under
underserved
communities.
J
A
J
I
didn't
see
that
corrected
one
sorry,
and
so
we
I
can
probably
edit
this
last
part,
but
it
basically
says
that
changes
to
our
industries
and
changes
to
our
economy
can
be
something
that
we
can
embrace
and
a
change
in
lifestyle
can
be
a
positive
thing
in
terms
of
saving
and
reinvestment,
and
that's
basically,
my
contribution
in
a
nutshell,
might
have
actually
been
faster.
Just
to
read
the
entire
thing.
Sorry
that
was
kind
of
a
long
summary
well.
J
G
I
A
A
A
So
for
those
of
you
who
are
wondering
who's
on
the
group,
if
you
want
to
contact
any
of
these
people
or
if
you
want
to
send
comments
directly
to
andy
or
to
me,
we
will
make
sure
that
input
gets
thoroughly
discussed
and
incorporated
and
then
we'll
be
work
looking.
I
hope
it's
some
kind
of
a
draft
document
for
a
meeting
next
month.
A
B
B
A
B
So
they've
done
a
great
job
of
sorting
through
that
and
trying
to
get
that
all
entered
in
so
that
they
are
ready
and
available
to
our
climate
protection
steering
committee.
So
I
know
michael,
is
anxiously
awaiting
that
document,
so
he
can
get
started
on.
The
next
phase,
which
essentially
is,
is
passing
it
to
the
steering
committee
to
begin
the
process
of
processing
those
comments
to
basically
see
where
you
know,
incorporating
whatever
changes
or
additions,
etc
need
to
be
made
to
the
primary
documents.
B
So
it's
a
little
bit
more
manageable
for
those
working
groups
to
kind
of
process
those
comments.
So
we
expect
at
least
another
round
of
working
group
focusing
on
those
comments
and
who
knows
it
may
take
more
than
at
least
another
round
or
two
of
those
meetings.
So
anyhow,
we'll
work
through
that
with
our
climate
protection
steering
committee
and
we'll
see
how
far
we
can
go
and
in
what
amount
of
time
that
that
is
so
we
are
being
fairly
flexible
in
terms
of
what
the
next
steps
are.
B
B
That
will
be
the
last
time
that
the
public
will
be
able
to
offer
any
particular
testimony
at
this
stage
of
the
game.
It's
comments
have
been
submitted.
It's
up
to
the
steering
committee
to
process
those
and
from
there
we'll
take
it
to
council
and
and
go
through
the
standard
process
of
of
obtaining
testimony
once
it
gets
to
a
specific
committee.
B
So
right
now
we're
hoping
for
may,
let's
just
see
how
it
goes.
That's
that's
the
plan.
What
we've
done
is
extended
the
contract
with
brendel,
because
essentially,
we've
we're
running
out
of
time
and
dollars.
So
if
I've
been
able
to
squeeze
a
few
more
dollars
out
of
my
existing
budget
to
continue
brendall
to
help
us
process
the
comments
and
make
the
changes
to
the
plan
as
necessary,
so
I
think
we're
good
with
the
least
consulting
support
at
this
stage
of
the
game
going
forward.
B
Once
the
plan
gets
through
council
and
they
approve
it,
and
we
have
a
resolution
that's
approved.
Then
then
the
real
work
begins.
That's
where
we
start
looking
at
the
short-term
implementation
plan,
which
is
supposed
to
be
a
living
document,
it's
designed
to
go
through
2025,
so
it's
kind
of
a
road
map
of
what
the
initial
steps
are
for
implementation.
B
So
that's
where
not
only
just
the
city
but
various
stakeholders
that
are
taking
the
lead
on
various
strategies
and
actions
well
at
least
know
where
to
start.
So
after
once,
we
get
start
approaching
2025
we'll
look
at
what
we've
been
measuring,
we'll
look
at
our
successes,
we'll
reevaluate
our
strategies
and
actions
to
develop
the
midterm
implementation
plan,
so
lots
more
to
come
on
that
just
kind
of
throwing
out.
Basically
what
we're
seeing
what
we're
for
seeing
in
the
future
we're
we're.
B
It
gives
you
a
chance
to
model
some
things,
so
we're
trying
to
find
a
way
to
put
something
on
our
website
or
or
on
a
platform
where
the
community
can
kind
of
monitor
how
we're
doing
with
our
implementation
plan.
So
just
some
things
going
on
behind
the
scenes,
while
everybody's
focused
on
the
draft
we're
already
looking
at
next
steps
on
implementation,
so
and
part
of
what
I'm
doing
as
well
is
looking
at
funding
opportunities
as
well.
B
I'd
like
to
say,
I've
got
a
few
things
in
the
pipeline
that
I'm
pretty
excited
to
be
able
to,
hopefully
be
able
to
share,
but
not
quite
there
yet,
but
I'm
hoping
sometime
in
may
I'll
be
able
to
share
some
some
funding
sources
that
we'll
be
able
to
access
for
for
implementation
so
working
on
that
end
as
well.
So
with
that,
I
think
that
is
the
gist
of
the
update
on
the
climate
plan.
I'd
offer
an
opportunity
for
michael
kelly,
the
chair
of
the
steering
committee,
to
offer
any
comments.
If
you'd
like.
C
Thank
you
andy.
I
just
want
to
say
really
quickly.
Thank
you
to
staff
for
for
all
of
their
work.
Up
to
this
point,
it
has
not
been
easy
dealing
with
the
myriad
comments
that
have
come
in
and
and
the
the
various
perspectives
that
are
brought
to
this
work,
but
it
is
still
important
and
it
has
to
get
done,
and
I
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much
to
andy
and
the
other
staff
who
have
been
working
on.
This
really
do
appreciate
all
of
your
work.
C
The
only
other
thing
I'll
offer
on
on
top
of
on
top
of
what
andy's
already
said,
is
that
we're
we're
going
to
work
to
try
to
sift
through
the
comments
as
quickly
and
efficiently
as
possible.
What
we've
done
earlier
was
to
look
through
the
comments
and
and
basically
try
to
organize
them
by
emphasis
area
and
then
to
draw
themes
from
those
comments
in
those
emphasis
areas,
and
I
think
that
that
was
pretty
well
received
by
the
other
members
of
the
steering
committee.
C
So
I
think
we'll
we'll
probably
do
the
same
approach
again
for
these
comments.
So
once
the
team
has
had
the
opportunity
to
kind
of
review
and
organize
the
the
comments
as
needed,
I'll
work
on
kind
of
going
through
and
taking
a
similar
approach.
So
I'll
and-
and
I
will
share
that-
obviously
with
the
the
steering
committee
and
staff
as
well
as
the
public,
once
that's
finalized.
So
it
will,
it
will
certainly
take
a
little
bit
longer
than
the
first
round
of
comments
did.
C
But
I
think
to
to
some
of
what
andy
has
said.
I
think
we
definitely
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
processing
everything
as
as
effectively
as
we
can.
So
I
would
just
ask
people
who
who
may
be
on
this
call
or
maybe
watching
later
to
just
please
give
folks
some
patience
and
some
grace
there's
a
lot
to
sift
through.
Some
comments
were
very
very
short.
Some
were
very
extensive
and
and
don't
fit
neatly
into
one
basket,
and
so
it's
not
that
anyone's
trying
to
slow
down
the
process.
C
I
think
everyone
understands
the
severity
of
the
climate
crisis.
It's
just
that
trying
to
figure
out
the
most
effective
way
to
do.
That
is
going
to
take
time
so,
like
I
said,
I
just
want
to
ask
anyone
who
may
be
in
here
now
or
who
may
be
watching
to
please
give
staff
the
the
opportunity
and
the
the
patience
to
to
do
their
jobs,
because
I
think
they
they
know
what
they're
doing
in
terms
of
getting
the
comments
to
to
the
emc
into
the
steering
committee
and
to
the
council.
D
B
I
B
B
B
B
We
do
have
a
new
admin
assistant
with
us
and
marlene
I'd
like
you
to
say
hello
to
everybody,
so
your
screen,
pops
up
on
there
you
go
so
marlene.
Flores
is
our
new
administrative
assistant,
so
she's
rachel's
in
the
process
of
bringing
her
up
to
speed
on
all
things.
Administrative
here
so
in
the
future,
you'll
be
kind
of
coordinating
with
her
on
anything
that
you
might
need
from
our
office
in
terms
of
minutes
or
other
correspondences
or
whatever
so
happy
to
have
her
on
board
she's
from
the
health
department.
B
So
if
you
go
to
kcmo.org
and
go
to
careers,
you
should
easily
be
able
to
find
it
and
the
job
description
is
listed
there
as
well.
For
the
most
part,
it's
it's
somebody
to
help
us
network
with
the
community
and
to
basically
help
us
with
implementation
on
the
climate
plan,
so
that
closes
on
april
25th.
B
G
A
B
And
actually
there
may
be
some
changes,
so
what
I'm
going
to
tell
you
now
is
as
of
today,
if
it's
posted
here,
but
I
want
to
let
people
know
that
the
city
actually
is,
did
a
market
analysis
of
salaries
for
the
city
positions
and
they've
made
some
changes
to
the
salary
ranges.
What
they
discovered
was
that
we
were,
for
the
most
part
below
private
sector
considerably,
which
is
making
it
real
difficult
for
the
city
to
recruit.
So
in
the
upcoming
fiscal
year,
the
city
will
be
adjusting
the
pay
ranges
for
folks.
B
B
B
B
That's
probably
going
to
be
bumped
higher
starting
may
1,
but
being
that
I
posted
it
before
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
I
had
to
go
to
the
existing
range.
Thank
you
andy.
Thank
you,
jerry
all
right,
let's
see
all
right,
so
that's
on
positions
next
on
to
building
performance
standards,
so
many
of
you
know
that
we
as
a
city
signed
on
with
other
cities
with
the
national
building
performance
coalition,
that's
out
of
the
white
house,
so
we've
started
meeting
with
that
coalition
to
kind
of
start
talking
about
building
performance
policies.
B
So
we
have
a
two-year
window
where
we'll
be
working
with
the
local
community
and
the
stakeholders
to
kind
of
hopefully
build
out
a
building
performance
standard
here
in
kansas
city,
with
that
to
help
us
with
that,
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
get
a
what's
called
a
fuse
fellowship
so
fuse.
It
goes
through
the
mayor's
office,
but
fuse
is
a
national
organization
where
they
offer
professional,
fellowship
opportunities
to
current
executives
and
and
professionals
out
there.
B
So
we
were
fortunate
enough
to
pick
up
a
fuse
fellow
to
help
us
with
this
process.
So
we
completed
interviews,
we
offered
a
made
an
offer
to
one
of
those
that
it
interviewed
and
that
person
will
be
joining
us
assuming
they
make
it
through
all
of
our
hr
related
functions.
That
person
will
be
joining
us
may
1st.
B
So
at
that
point
I'll
announce
who
that
is
at
that
point,
but
we're
pretty
excited
to
have
somebody
solely
dedicated
to
working
on
that
particular
issue,
which
is
it's
already
nestled
in
the
climate
protection
resilience
plan
in
the
draft,
and
we
expected
that
this
is
an
obvious
next
step
after
our
benchmarking
program.
So
I'm
pretty
excited
to
to
get
that
rolling
as
well.
B
Yeah,
that's
great!
Well,
it's
it's!
It's
a
one-year
fellowship,
but
we've
already
started
kind
of
asking
that
same
question
whether
we'd
be
able
to
get
a
second
year
out
of
it.
The
position
pays
pretty
well,
and
the
city
has
a
contract
with
fuse.
We
have,
I
think,
four
or
five
fellows
that
the
city
is.
It
has
recruited,
so
it's
a
matter
whether
the
city
can
find
funding
to
keep
it
going
for
another
year
or
two.
But
honestly
I
was
just
happy
to
get
somebody
on
for
at
least
the
year.
B
B
I
would
say
for
folks
that
are
interested
to
look
for
it
to
be
introduced
next
week,
so
we've
met
with
councilman
buu,
been
meeting
internally
with
city
staff
and
our
city
planning
and
codes
folks,
we
pretty
much
have
a
game
plan
on
where
we're
going
to
go
forward
and
essentially
look
for
it-
hopefully
next
next
thursday
to
be
introduced
and
then
where
it
goes
from
there
we'll
see
in
terms
of
committees
and
testimony
and
such
after
that,
so
there's
the
energy
code
very
excited
about
getting
that
off
our
plate.
Let.
B
B
Not
an
architect,
I'm
not
an
engineer.
I
don't
quite
understand
fully
I'll
defer
to
jeremy.
I
know
he's
on
here.
I
could
tell
you
more
about
the
issue,
but
apparently
it's
a
sticking
point
with
our
codes
folks,
and
I
think
we
need
to
just
do
more
conversation
and
discussion
over
what
the
issue
is
specifically,
but
in
terms
of
what
city
staff
is
supporting,
they're
all
on
board,
with
the
code
otherwise
unamended
and
then
including
the
solar,
ready
and
ev
ready
components
and
then
we'll
do
the
optional
zero
code
as
well.
B
Yeah
so
yeah
happy
to
move
it
on
so
anyways
keep
keep
your
eyes
open
for
it
stay
tuned
and
just
get
involved
at
that
point,
with
the
testimony,
so
council
will
be
leaning
on
you
all
to
hear
your
opinions
and
your
thoughts
and
we'll
go
from
there
next
step
would
be.
I
want
to
just
kind
of
I
know
some
of
you
are
aware.
With
of
our
solarize
kc
campaign,
I've
recruited
several
of
you
to
help
us
with
that.
B
Basically,
it's
a
community
solar,
crowdsourcing
campaign,
bulk
purchase
program.
Whatever
you
want
to
call
it,
we
have
different
names
for
it,
but
the
solarize
kc.
We
have
a
logo.
Now
we've
got
a
website
and
right
now
we're
we're
soliciting
bids
for
a
solar
installer
to
join
us
on
this
campaign
and
to
be
responsible
for
doing
the
solar
installations
under
the
program,
but
be
prepared
for
a
big
kickoff
on
may
20th
and
we'll
we'll
send
out
invitations.
B
B
So
I've
got
a
great
coalition
of
partners
helping
if,
if
any
of
you
have
others
that
might
want
to
help
us
on
the
coalition,
I'm
certainly
looking
for
more
support
and
and
local
help
on
getting
that
campaign
up
and
running.
So
I
can
have
can
have
meetings
at
a
later
time
to
talk
about
what
that
might
be
so
anyways
pretty
excited
about
solarize
kc
that'll
get
started
here
shortly.
B
E
E
I
don't
know
what
the
answer
is
going
to
be,
but
since
we're
talking
about
60
of
medium
income
for
the
solar
installation,
if
we
can
get
any
money
out
of
that,
we'll
we'll
try
to
do
that,
so
we'll
definitely
get
more
minor
home
repair
and
there'll
be
some
restrictions
on
that,
but
but
we'll
try
to
get
some
solar
money.
Also
I'll,
let
you
know
once
I
know
the
answer
to
that.
B
G
B
B
B
I
B
J
And
then
andy,
I
know
that
there
was
legislation
going
through
the
missouri
legislature
to
finally
legalize
community
solar
projects
and
stuff
like
that.
So
is
this
for,
like
individual
organizations
and
people
within
the
neighborhood,
or
can
it
expand
in
case,
like
you
had
a
neighborhood
association
that
wanted
to
do
something
that
was
more
expensive.
B
Yeah,
this
is
for
individual
solar
for
a
residential
and
also
for
commercial
or
non-profits.
It's
not
community
solar,
although
we
are
exploring
a
pilot
project
with
our
private
partner
to
do
a
project
like
that
for
community,
solar
sure
and
we've
talked
to
evergy
they're
on
board
with
help
us
helping
us
explore
our
pilot
project
along
those
lines.
So
we're
we're
looking
at
doing
something
like
that.
J
B
B
This
also
includes
battery
technology,
so
if
folks
want
to
do
batteries
along
with
their
solar
systems,
they
can
do
that,
but
I
kind
of
foresee
this
could
be
used
for
if
we
want
to
do
ev
charging,
possibly
down
the
road,
do
a
similar
type
program
that
way
as
well
so
yeah.
This
crowd
sourcing
is
kind
of
an
interesting
concept.
Rocky
mountain
institute
is
helping
us
with
other
cities.
B
B
Let's
see
just
a
couple
of
last
minute
thing
last
few
things
here:
these
are
related
to
earth
day.
Of
course,
coming
up,
we've
got
the
show
me
green
sales
tax
holiday.
Just
as
a
reminder.
Every
year
we
have
this
opportunity
to
purchase
energy
star
appliances
here
in
kansas
city
between
april
19th
and
the
25th,
so
we
opted
in
just
like
we
have
for
the
past
10
years
or
so
so
those
appliances
are
exempt
from
city
tax
for
the
most
part,
county
tax
and
state
tax.
B
B
So
if
you
go
to
the
city's
website,
just
come
to
our
main
homepage,
you'll
see
the
great
kc
cleanup.
If
you
want
to
be
involved
with
a
litter,
pickup
event,
they're
scattered
all
over
the
city,
there's
dozens
of
them
and
they're
looking
for
volunteers
to
sign
up
they've
got
t-shirts
other
stuff
associated
with
that,
but
you
can
participate
on
friday
or
you
could
do
a
saturday
or
sunday
clean
up.
If
you
want
to
organize
a
cleanup,
you
can
do
that.
There's
resources
to
do
that
as
well.
B
So
this
is
kind
of
started
out
as
a
green
team
event
and
basically
basically
got
hijacked
and
turned
into
a
big
cleanup
event
for
the
whole
city,
which
is
completely
fine
with
us.
I
think
we
can
all
agree.
The
city
could
use
a
little
tidying
up.
After
all,
the
all
the
the
wind
and
glitter
that
we've
got
out
there
so
anyways
so
go
online
and
sign
up
if
you're
interested
in
that
last
thing
is
the
nuisance
code.
B
They
we've
pretty
much
wrapped
up
most
of
the
basic
conversations
around
the
code.
Now
it
comes
down
to
an
actual
draft
and
I'll
we'll
work,
staff's
work.
Helping
me
work
on
the
draft
of
a
revised
nuisance
code,
which
will
then
go
back
to
our
our
working
group
to
start
editing
and
and
commenting
and
tweaking,
and
all
that
before
we
start
coalescing
around
a
final
proposal
to
our
neighborhoods
department
to
consider
going
forward.
B
So
the
idea
is
to
basically
help
promote
natural
landscaping
native
landscaping
as
much
as
possible,
but
still
have
some
teeth
in
it
to
deal
with
clearly
nuisance
violations
and,
of
course,
providing
resources
for
our
city
staff,
our
code,
inspectors
and
resources
to
educate
the
community
and
the
public
on
what
it
really
means
to
have
native
landscaping
to
have
it
managed
and
to
meet
the
the
intent
of
the
nuisance
code.
So
still
work
to
be
done,
but
just
letting
folks
know
we're
still
working
through
those
those
details.
A
A
There
were
some
questions
about
the
economic
development
process
as
related
to
the
new
data
center,
that's
being
proposed
out
by
the
airport
and-
and
you
told
me
that
they
had
contacted
oeq
and
the
council
had
done
quite
a
bit
of
deliberation.
If
you
would
share
your
thoughts
about
that-
and
we
had
talked
about
perhaps
having
carrie
come
back
on
some
future
date
and
following
up
with
her
a
little
bit
about
the
economic
development
process.
But
I
think
we
already
have
a.
B
So
what
we're
going
to
we'll
revisit
with
carrie
when
she's
available
to
come
back
and
talk
more
about
the
development
process,
because
we've
had
some
internal
conversations
with
her
on
where
we
as
oeq
can
have
touch
points
into
the
whole
process
of
a
project,
not
just
those
that
are
necessarily
those
projects
are
asking
for
economic
incentives,
but
for
any
project
in
the
city.
So
where
do
we?
Where
can
we
insert
ourselves
into
that
process?
So
she's
been
helping
us
look
for
those
touch
points
and
so
we're
working
through
that
internally.
B
So
I
think,
having
carried
a
future
meeting,
certainly
on
the
table,
just
we
gotta
give
carrie
some
time
to
process
because
she's
she's
all
by
herself,
she
doesn't
have
really
staff
to
help
her
with
what
she's
working
on
so
so
she
passes
along
her
her
regrets
and
not
be
able
to
join
today,
but
in
terms
of
the
data
centers
that
wasn't
really
under
her
her
bailiwick.
It
really
felt
more
under
the
water
services
department.
B
B
Okay,
and
hopefully
it
made
some
sense-
or
I
was
like
somewhat
explanatory
about
it,
but
essentially
the
issue
around
data
centers
here
of
and
it
wasn't
just
one
carol-
we
actually
have
two
data
centers
that
are
moving
to
kansas
city
and
the
first
one:
one's
google
and
one's
facebook,
both
of
those
are
in
the
northland.
One
is
off
of
the
facebook,
one
is
actually
off
of
169
and
just
south
of
smithville,
and
then
the
other
one
is
actually
located
over
by
worlds
of
funds.
B
So
what
was
interesting
about
this
is
that
you
know
both
both
proposals
to
move
forward
with
those
went
through
the
water
department
because
of
the
amount
of
water
that
was
being
used
for
the
project
and
data
centers
are
notorious
energy,
hogs
and
water
hogs,
okay,
so
they're
very
water
intensive.
They
need
a
lot
of
that
for
their
cooling
for
their
data
centers.
B
So
what
was
interesting
about
this
is,
I
didn't
get
wind
of
it
until
the
ordinances
were
introduced
and
water
department
was
doing
a
presentation
on
the
ordinances
to
basically
move
forward
with
both
data
centers
and
what
ended
up
happening
is
that,
interestingly
enough?
The
mayor
and
councilman
bunch
both
started
asking
tough
questions
and
really
started
pressing
them
on
you
know
what
does
this
mean
for
kansas
city
in
terms
of
water
resources,
energy
resources?
How
does
this
affect
kansas
city
so
interesting
enough
that
unfortunate?
B
B
Looking
at
water
scarcity,
issues
around
the
country
and
data,
centers
and
kansas
city
doesn't
necessarily
fall
into
the
water
scarce
region,
whereas
other
parts
of
the
country
certainly
are
and
are
really
poor
sites
for
turn
in
terms
of
data
centers.
So
here
in
kansas
city,
the
water
department,
based
on
the
data
that
they
have,
they
were
more
than
comfortable,
of
course,
supporting
the
data
centers
because
they
felt
that
you
know
we're
not
a
water
scarce
region
that
they
could
be
supportive
of
it.
The
energy
side
falls
to
energy
to
kind
of
explain.
B
I
shared
the
pros
and
cons
of
it
with
with
council
and
the
mayor
and
city
staff
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
ended
up
moving
forward,
but
I
think
it
what
was
important
at
least
the
takeaway
that
I
had
is
that
it
was
the
first
time
I
really
saw.
The
ordinance
basically
got
stopped.
It
was
like
they
saw
wait
a
second,
let's
think
twice
about
this:
let's
go
back
to
the
environmental
folks.
B
Let's
start
asking
the
questions
and
they
did
ask
some
hard
questions
and
facebook
and
google
had
to
answer
those
questions
in
front
of
council
in
front
of
the
mayor,
and
I
provided
some
background
technical
guidance
based
on
the
research
I
was
able
to
find
for
them.
So
that's
where
we're
at.
As
far
as
I
know,
the
projects
are
moving
forward.
B
B
I
Thank
you,
andy.
That
was
a
ton
of
information.
I
really
liked
the
the
data
information
you
sent
mike
my
question
sort
of
came
up
because
I
don't
follow
a
lot
of
kansas
city
sort
of
news
stuff.
But
there's
been
all
this
talk
about
the
big
company
secret
secret
company
coming
to
town
and
who
was
it
and
it's
you
know
how
does
oeq
get
involved
in
that?
If
there's
so
much
secrecy
around
you
know
keeping
it
quiet,
not
letting
anything
in
anything
out
before
breaking
news
of
a
big
company
like
that
right.
G
I
How
it's
common,
and
in
fact,
if
bitcoin
really
takes
off
it,
has
the
potential
to
swamp.
You
know
energy
and
water.
It's
it's
really
actually,
not
necessarily
a
good
thing.
Yet
people
haven't
thought
through
the
amount
of
energy
it's
going
to
suck
up,
but
also
I
in
general.
I
think,
there's
a
perception
that
we
have
this
big
river
out
there
and
therefore
water
is
not
an
issue
for
us
and
that's
not
true,
including
this
summer.
I
G
B
I
G
B
More
work
to
come,
I
mean
we
need
to
get
more.
You
know
we've
been
talking
with
ashley
sadowski,
you
know
in
the
plan
review
process
so
more
to
come,
we're
we're
literally
trying
to
find
where
we
can
get
more
into
the
process
of
things
where
you
know
just
whether
it's
a
a
planned
or
review
or
something
along
those
lines
where
we
can,
at
least
you
know,
offer
some
basic
comments,
one
way
or
the
other
about
how
things
fit
into
our
climate
plan.
B
What
are
the
ramifications
to
greenhouse
gases
here
in
kansas
city
for
this
or
that?
So
that's
where
we
got
to
get
to
that
point
I
mean
there's
no
point,
we've
been
doing
this
planning
process
and
we
start
implementation,
and
then
meanwhile,
we've
got.
You
know
these
data
centers
that
are
changing.
You
know
our
greenhouse
gases
locally.
You
know.
I
G
B
B
There
are
standards
to
how
they're
rated
by
third
parties,
so
I
provided
what
the
the
you
know,
the
a
plus
standard
is
and
what
the
google
data
centers
come
in
at,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
how
efficient
they're
being
so.
That
was
just
some
of
the
stuff
I
provided
yeah
there's
you
can
get
into
a
lot
of
details
and
I
appreciate
jeremy
for
throwing
this
out
there
and
I'm
certainly
no
expert
on
data
centers.
It
was
literally
a
learning
process,
but
yeah.
J
B
A
Well,
andy,
thank
you.
I
think
that's
important
for
that.
We
kind
of
all
stay
up
to
date
with
that
work
and
really
appreciate
yeah.
It's
really
great
to
know
that
you're
getting
consulted
on
this
and
that's
the
kind
of
pattern
behavior
that
we
want
long
term.
That's
really
what
will
help
us
move
forward.
A
A
F
G
C
F
And
just
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
are
grateful
and
I'm
very
grateful
as
a
resident
of
kansas
city.
I
wanted
to
speak
briefly,
and
also
just
thank
this
committee
for
expressing
concern
over
the
very
sudden
proposal
to
move
the
office
of
environmental
quality
into
the
neighborhoods
department,
and
I
think
you
know
that
it
was
a
great
show
from
again
the
work
of
this
committee
over
the
last
and
the
staff
over
the
last
several
years.
F
I
think
it
has
helped
see,
helped
contribute
to
our
flourishing
of
civic
society
and
community
advocacy
in
kansas
city
and
folks
advocating
for
their
neighborhoods
that
ended
up,
leading
to
again
just
much
like
the
data
center,
like
folks
asking
hard
questions
it's
just
like.
Why
are
we
doing
this?
What
is
the
need
like?
Let's
really
take
a
hard
look
at
this
now
that
that
we
know
that
oaq
is
staying
in
the
city
manager's
office?
I
just
would
say
you
know,
as.
C
F
F
I
think
that
is
starting
to
happen
more
and
I
think
the
communities
want
to
see
that
more,
and
so
I
hope
that
this
commission
in
the
future
can
maybe
have
discussions,
and
I
know
there
are
civic
groups
that
would
be
willing
to
support
it,
and
I
also
want
to
trust
oaq
as
leaders
on
this.
You
know:
how
are
we
going
to
achieve
that
goal
of
incorporating
the
climb
plan
into
all
aspects
of
city
policy
like
okay,
so
oaq
isn't
moving
to
neighborhoods,
but
what
can
director
decker
do
like?
What?
What
can
we
do?
F
What
are
the
resources
needed
or
if
there
are
issues
in
the
city
manager's
office,
where
oaq
needs
more
support?
Well,
let's
have
a
conversation
about
what
resources
are
needed
like.
How
are
we
incorporating
this
to
make
sure
everything's
everybody's
on
the
same
page?
I
think
this
is
a
good
state
you.
There
are
a
lot
of
experts
on
this
commission
that
can
weigh
in
on
that-
and
I
know
they're
experts
at
city
and
oeq
and
just
you
know,
I'm
interested
as
a
resident
and
advocate
for
like
how
we
can
help
move
that
forward.
F
J
No-
and
I
think
that
billy
you,
you
are
owed
a
round
of
applause,
for
your
advocacy
for
the
oeq
staying
in
the
city
manager's
office.
I
know
that
I
got
a
number
of
emails
down
to
the
minute
of
when
comments
were
going
to
be
made
on
the
city
budget
to
make
sure
that
that
happens.
So
thank
you
for
your
service
to
your
community
as
well.
K
K
K
Plastic
who
they
they
state
to
make
more
plastic,
but
typically,
there's
only
been
one
of
all
of
the
37
failed
things
that
have
actually
made
new
plastic
from
old
plastic.
It
typically
goes
to
fuel,
but
there's
a
lot
of
health
issues
around
this.
These
plants
give
off
lead
and
cadmium,
as
well
as
all
of
the
other
good
stuff.
K
That's
added
to
plastic
polymers,
and
so
the
state
is
currently
looking
to
designate
these
facilities
as
not
solid
waste
facilities,
but
instead
manufacturing
facilities
because
they're
stating
that
they're
going
to
manufacture
plastic-
and
we
haven't
had
a
lot
of
opposition.
Unfortunately,
against
these
bills,
myself
and
somebody
from
sierra
club,
michael
berg,
were
up
there
this
morning
and
essentially,
our
argument
is
that
we
need
to
have
them
be
solid
waste
facilities,
because
there
is
a
permitting
process
that
basically
puts
it's.
You
know
a
standard
thing
that
they
have
to
do
for
environmental
reasons.
K
They
have
to
uphold
these
environmental
regulations
as
well.
If
they
don't,
they
have
to
pay
the
state
for
the
environmental
mishaps
they
have
or
financial
mishaps
they
have,
and
so
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
flag
that
for
emc
that
this
is
coming
down
the
line.
So
that's
anybody
has
questions
about
it.
I'm
free
to
talk
about
it.
K
So
there
are
smaller
facilities.
I
know
that
I'm
pretty
sure
I
don't
hold
me
to
this,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
that
missouri
organics
actually
has
a
small
version
of
it
specifically
because
they
take
out.
They
end
up
getting
plastic,
sometimes
in
their
compost,
and
they
take
that
out
and
then
they
do.
You
know
plastic
to
fuel,
which
is
fine.
K
G
J
K
D
I
I
I'm
still
sort
of
well
jefferson.
City
brings
up
so
much
trauma
for
me.
I
have
been
down
there
and
testified
too,
and
and
I'm
still
stuck
on
the
water-
there's
not
a
lot
in
u.s
water
law
that
protects
subsurface
waters
and
it's
something
we
need
to
think
about
and
be
aware
of,
and
just
water
on.
The
missouri
is
a
very
complicated
thing
because
there's
so
many
other
states
involved,
but
we
don't
generally
protect
our
groundwater,
which
so
that
doesn't
prevent
entities
coming
in
and
pumping
it.
I
So,
for
example,
in
new
mexico
in
yuma,
which
is
sorry,
ariz
arizona,
really
super
dry
desert
right
on
the
border
with
the
mojave
desert.
There's
a
saudi
arabian
company,
growing
alfalfa
with
irrigation
water,
because
there's
no
subsurface
water
right,
so
they
just
went
in
and
bought
a
lot
of
desert
land
and
they're
pumping
the
aquifer
and
growing.
It
is
cheaper
to
grow
alfalfa
in
our
southwest
and
ship
it
to
saudi
arabia
for
their
dairy
cattle.
A
L
Hi
thanks
so
a
lot
here
to
talk
about,
but
I
was
actually
going
to
talk
about
water
as
well.
So
when
I
first
tuned
in,
you
were
talking
about
soil
regeneration
and
in
fact
I
see
jim
has
added
another
comment
here,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
the
note
that
I
added
up
up
near
the
top
of
our
chat
here,
didn't
get
lost,
which
is
that
speaking
of
missouri,
organic
and
and
water,
adding
organic
matter
to
soil
is
also
a
water.
L
J
Well,
so
just
bridget's
comment
about
the
pyrolysis
stuff.
I
don't
know.
I
think
I
find
that
kind
of
interesting
because
it
doesn't
sound
like
any
of
the
developments,
are
gonna
go
or
are
being
planned
for,
like
the
kansas
city
region.
I
could
be
wrong
about
that
and
would
probably
need
to
do
research
for
it.
But
this
I
mean
it's,
it's
probably
really
terrible
for
human
health
outcomes,
regardless
of
where
it
goes.
J
So,
if
it's
going
to
be
put
next
to
a
rural
community,
you
know
I
hear
all
about
wind
turbines
causing
cancer,
and
here
you
are
thinking
about
putting
in
a
facility
that
could
literally
harm
human
health
and
cause
cancer,
and
it's
like
you
know.
This
might
be
something
that
we
could
advocate
for
with
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
to
extend
a
on
olive
branch
to
rural
communities
and
and
say
that
you
know
kansas
city
is
big-hearted
enough
to
consider
this
on
a
statewide
level.
