A
I
think
we've
got
a
couple
committee
members
still
waiting
for,
but
I
think
we
do
have
quorum.
So
why
don't
we
go
ahead
and
get
started
because
we
have
a
lot
to
try
to
get
through
today,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
welcome
everybody
to
the
february
meeting
of
kansas
city
climate
protection
steering
committee:
chris:
are
you
filling
in
for
rachel
today
to
do
the
roll
call.

Okay
thanks
chris
okay,
so
just
wanted
to
mention
a
couple
of
things
before
we
get
into
our
agenda.
So
first,
the
main
purpose
of
our
meeting
today
is
to
review
the
recommendations
that
our
committee
work
groups
have
been
working
on
the
past
couple
weeks
and
vote
on
them
as
a
committee
to
provide
input
into
the
draft
climate
plan
that's
being
finalized
before
it
goes
out
to
the
public
for
review
and
comment.
A
We
had
planned
to
allow
time
for
public
comments
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
today.
However,
I
did
have
a
member
of
the
public
reach
out
to
me
and
express
concern
about,
since
we
had
been
having
public
comments
in
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
that
they
might
not
be
able
to
stay
and
had
made
plans
to
give
comment
in
the
beginning.
G
A
G
J
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
hi?
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
student
committee.
My
name
is
adam.
I
live
in
the
third
district
in
the
northeast.
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
was
recently
struck.
I
was
on
a
road
trip
and
I
went
to
I
stopped
at
taco
john's
in
western
kansas
to
go
to
the
bathroom
and
when
I
was
exiting
those
taco
johns,
I
noticed
that
their
salsa
bar
was
closed.
J
J
K
G
I
Yasmeen
goes
I
I
notice
there's
no
one
keeping
time
here,
so
I
I'm
happy
to
to
keep
time
and
all
for
transparency
I'll
hold
it
up
to
the
screen.
So
folks
can
see,
but
when
it
gets
down
to
one
minute,
then
we
we
do
have
to
keep
everything
going.
So
I
I
apologize
for
for
not
saying
that.
First,
but
yes
mean
the
floor.
Is
yours
and
I
won't
start
the
timer
until
you
start
speaking.
F
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
jasmine
bruno
valdes.
I
am
an
undocumented
resident
in
the
third
district
of
the
northeast.
I
am
calling
on
the
climate
protection
steering
committee
to
listen
to
the
community
and
not
utility
executives.
You
are
all
here
because
you
represent
us
and
because,
hopefully
you
want
to
advocate
for
the
most
vulnerable
populations
within
kcmo.
I
am
asking
you
to
not
endorse
buyers,
fossil
gas,
alternative
plan,
wrongly
labeled
as
renewable
natural
gas.
F
In
addition,
we
need
you
to
demand
that
energy
close
its
coal
plants
that
threaten
our
health
and
perpetuate
the
climate
crisis.
The
communities
of
northeast
kc,
who
are
largely
black
and
latino,
are
disproportionately
put
at
risk
because
of
these
policies,
you
have
the
power
to
prioritize
these
frontline
communities.
Please
do
the
right
thing
today.
A
L
L
Rather
for
a
clean
natural
gas.
I
think
we
have
seen
that
it's
a
lot.
It's
essentially
a
lie
because,
even
though
natural
gas
technically
burns
cleaner,
the
amount
of
environmental
devastation
required
to
get
that
poses
an
unacceptable
risk
to
the
environment
and
also
we
need
to
stop
burning
fossil
fuels
immediately
and
to
that
and
ever
she
needs
to
close
its
whole
plants
immediately.
Thank
you.
K
Hello,
my
name
is
aiden
allen
and
I'm
a
student
at
umkc,
as
well
as
a
leader
with
sunrise,
casey
and
a
question
I
have
today
and
which
I'm
sure
many
others
have
as
well
is
who
do
you
serve?
The
claims
climate
action
plan
is
for
the
protection
of
our
environment,
yet
you
wish
to
continue
to
use
support,
unquote,
renewable
natural
gas
and
allowing
everything
to
continue
running
their
coal
plants,
which
only
continue
to
catastrophic
damage
to
our
environment,
putting
our
most
vulnerable
opinions
at
risk,
and
also
you
claim
to
want
the
community
involved.
K
Yet,
instead
of
investing
directly
into
working
class,
black
and
brown
communities
that
have
been
historically
harmed
by
utility
executives
through
disconnects
and
predatory
practices,
you
are
endorsing
false
solutions
written
by
the
very
people
oppressing
us.
It
is
obvious
that
this
plan
is
not
for
the
community,
but
yet
another
way
to
fill
up
fossil
fuel
executive
pockets.
We
deserve
to
have
our
climate
protected
our
homes
protected
and
to
not
be
misled
by
this
disastrous
climate
action
plan
and
the
use
of
fossil
gas
alternatives,
shut
down
every
juice,
coal
plants
and
listen
to
the
people
now.
G
A
All
right
with
that,
I
think
we're
ready
to
move
on
to
our
work
group
recommendations
and
I'd
like
to
start
with
the
prioritization
work
group
and
then
move
on
to
the
the
work
groups
as
they
appear
in
the
plan.
So
then
so
starting
with
mobility
and
then
moving
on
to
energy.
If
is
there
any
opposed
to
that.
A
A
A
A
So
I
guess
first,
we
wanted
to
recommend
that
the
targets
for
the
plan
be
adjusted
to
grendel's
to
more
closely
align
with
what
grendel
is
suggesting
for
stretch
targets
that
they
in
parts
of
the
plan
said,
were
realistic
and
recommended
by
them.
So
what
we
are
recommending
is
that
we
include
a
target
knowing
that
in
2019.
A
And
so
we
want
to
fix
that
by
suggesting
that
by
2025
we
have
a
target
of
reducing
to
at
least
seven
mega
ten
million
mega
times
of
co2
and
then
follow
that
by.
I.
I
think
the
the
current
target
is
nine,
so
we'd
be
switching
from
nine
to
seven
for
2025
and
for
2030
we'd
be
making
the
targets
more
ambitious
by.
A
A
Okay,
so
our
next
recommendation
is
that
we'd
like
to
see
a
summary
table
in
the
main
plan
document
that
shows
the
cost
for
each
strategy
and
and
that
lists
all
the
strategies
that
we
that
essentially
shows.
How
are
we
going
to
meet
our
climate
neutral
target
by
2040.,
so
with
each
strategy
there
should
be
a
cost,
also
the
amount
of
potential
emission
reductions
by
strategy
and
and
in
a
table.
A
A
Another
thing
that
we
found
that
we
thought
that
was
missing
from
the
plan
was
a
recommended
scenario
for
meeting
these
targets,
so
there's
several
different
strategies
with
potential
emission
reductions
listed
in
the
plan,
but
there's
not
one
one.
You
know
leading
recommendation
or
preferred
alternative.
Perhaps.
A
G
A
A
So
what
we're
recommending
is
to
just
instead
adopt
ann
arbor's
framework,
and
we
have
even
done
some
done.
The
scoring
ourselves
with
assumptions
that
we've
documented
too
so
we'd
like
to
recommend
that
we
adopt
the
ann
arbor
prioritization
framework
and
that
we
include
the
following
strategies
in
a
recommended
scenario,
and
those
strategies
would
be
e1,
e2
and
e5.
So
that's
greening
the
adding
more
renewables
to
the
grid.
A
Because
now
is
the
time
to
be
ambitious
and
try
to
go
above
and
beyond
what
what
is
expected
and
then.
Lastly,
then.
Lastly,
we
wanted
to
include
the
production
potential
by
strategy
in
the
body
of
the
plan
in
the
subject
area.
So
it
was
clear,
as
you
were,
reading
through
the
plan,
how
much
each
strategy
could
reduce.
A
G
N
H
G
A
H
I
Yes,
okay,
okay,
so
I'll
go
through
this
as
as
quickly
as
I
can
so
in
terms
of
the
mobility
work
group,
there
were
some
general
comments
and
then
I'll
I'll
try
to
briefly
highlight
some
of
the
the
comments
with
each
of
the
strategies
as
well.
So,
in
addition
to
what
was
already
said,
there
were
really
three
big
things
with
the
general
comments
as
much
as
possible.
I
I
think
it
was
said.
A
little
bit
earlier
in
the
in
the
the
overview
from
from
robin
but
taking
a
safety
first
approach
for
transportation,
so
one
which
emphasizes
our
most
vulnerable
road
users
is
also
important
and
just
generally
the
last
big
thing
is
emphasizing
that
the
fastest
way
for
us
to
lower
our
transportation
related
emissions
is
to
use
multi-modal
transportation
more
and
to
drive
less
and
so
again.
As
with
robin.
I
I
I
I
I
So
so
what
was?
What
was
it
explained
to
me
is
that,
because
of
how
investments
are
are
working
at
the
federal
level,
as
well
as
the
the
requirements
from
the
infrastructure
bill?
Cng
as
a
as
a
fuel
source
has
has
effectively
hit
its
peak
in
terms
of
how
much
the
kc
ata
can
use
it
for
for
for
resourcing
its
buses?
With
that
being
said,
they
are,
they
are
actively
working
to
try
to
shift
more
electric
buses.
I
H
I
H
O
I
I
I
B
J
I
B
I
K
I
I
okay
any
any
opposed
okay.
So
going
back
to
ellen's
previous
point,
I
would
like
to
also
make
a
motion
that
languages
included,
which
specifically
recommends
supporting
the
needs
of
of
people
with
disabilities
as
it
relates
to
walking
and
biking
infrastructure,
with
a
specific
eye
towards
a
greater
emphasis
on
universal
design.
Oh
sorry,
sorry
laura!
Please
raise
your
hand
or
you
have
your
hand
raised.
I
I
P
B
A
B
B
M
Okay,
thanks
robin
so
I'll
just
do
what
everyone
else
did
and
just
go
through
our
notes
from
the
top
to
the
bottom,
starting
with
the
executive
summary,
and
some
of
these
are
more
grammatical
versus
you
know
like
the
technical
aspects
of
the
plan,
but
it
was
no.
It
was
noted
that
the
last
sentence
in
the
first
paragraph
from
the
land
acknowledgement
talking
about
implementation
workshop
is
confusing,
and
it
was
suggested
that
that
be
clarified
and
with
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
M
The
next
part
is
the
targets
which
robin
already
covered
in
the
implementation
aspects,
so
I'll
just
reiterate
that
this
committee,
also,
you
know,
talked
about
the
targets
and
how
the
targets
could
be
more
ambitious
and
our
suggested.
Our
suggestions
here
mirror
what
was
already
accepted
into
the
plan
getting
into
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
plan
on
page
41.
M
We
also
wanted
to
note
that
it
needed
to
be
wordsmith
so
that
residential
community
solar
availability
is
not
conflated
with
subscription
based
school,
solar
and
slash
or
utility
scale
solar.
Since
those
are
different
balls
of
waxes,
as
well
as
focusing
on
residential
solar
community,
solar
heat
pumps
and
energy
efficiency,
then
we
made
a
note
that
we
needed
to
make
that
consistent
with
the
building
section.
M
A
M
Gotcha,
yes,
that
sounds
great
sounds
right
and
then
again,
this
is
what
we
already
discussed
in
the
energy
supply.
We
thought
it
was
important
to
again
be
more
explicit
here
and
add
eliminating
the
energy
burden,
eliminating
pollution
from
our
energy
supply
and
utilizing
our
homes
and
buildings
as
part
of
the
energy
infrastructure.
M
On
page
42,
there
was
quite
a
bit
of
conversation
about
the
graphic
of
evergy's
energy
mix
and
ellen
and
bill
we're
going
to
actually
work
to
come
up
with
a
more
accurate
graphic
and
rob,
and
I
may
actually
tap
you
to
help,
explain
why
this
was.
This
was
a
topic
of
conversation,
but
essentially
we
thought
it
was
misleading
and
was
not
conveying
the
information
that
we
thought
that
what
it
was
intended
to
is
that
right,
robin.
A
Yeah,
I
think
we
were
more
interested
in
a
graphic
that
shows
how
evergy's
emissions
have
gone
down
over
time
and
not
how
the
their
percentage
their
energy
mix
percentages
have
changed,
because
we
know
that
you
know
the
consolidation
of
or
the
you
know.
The
merger
of
kcp
and
l
and
westar
meant
that
evergy
and
you
know,
got
a
lot
more
wind
in
their
portfolio,
but
it
didn't
necessarily
relate
to
that
amount
of
emission
reductions.
A
B
And
I
didn't
send
anything
to
bill,
yet
we
just
announced
year-end
numbers
on
friday,
so
we
have
our
2021
information
now
that
is
public
and
that
graphic
also
only
went
through
2019,
which
so
it's
kind
of
dated
from
that
perspective
as
well.
So
I
will
send
over
I'll
start
with
bill,
but
send
over
a
couple
of
different
graphics
to
consider.
N
M
N
M
We
also
noted
that
the
plan
you
know
cited
house
bill
734,
which
you
know
is
enables
us
to
expedite
closing
down
coal
plants
and
wanted
to
note
that
we
encourage
the
city
to
double
down
on
their
support
for
that
legislation,
because
pieces
of
legislation
have
been
introduced
in
kansas.
That
would
allow
coal
plants
to
be
used
in
extreme
weather.
So
in
the
event
that
that
same
type
of
legislation
comes
up
in
missouri,
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
say
that
the
city
supports
securitization,
as
is
without
enabling
the
coal
plant
generations.
B
A
couple
things
just
on
hawthorne
that
I'd
like
to
point
out
for
everybody
one
I
don't
think
anywhere
in
the
plan.
We
pull
out
of
another
specific
asset
that
the
city
is
asking
a
company
to
close.
So
I
want
to
go
put
that
on
record
and
then.
Secondly,
you
know
hawthorne
is
not
the
only
facility
that
supports
the
city
of
kansas
city
and
we
have
an
integrated
resource
plan
that
we
go
through,
that
balances,
reliability,
affordability
and
sustainability.
B
And
I
know
later
in
the
plan,
we
suggested
that
the
city
participate
more
in
the
regulatory
process
as
an
intervener,
and
I
think
that's
really
where
the
city,
where
we
should
direct
the
city
is
to
intervene
in
the
rate
case
process
because
energy,
you
know,
we
can't
just
shut
down
a
coal
plant
without
the
approval
of
the
missouri
public
service,
commission
and
they're
there
to
help
balance.
You
know:
affordability,
reliability
and
sustainability,
and
that
would
be
the
better
avenue
for
the
city
to
have
input
into
evergy's
energy
mix.
M
A
A
B
B
The
utility
service
to
the
city
and
those
two
should
be
weighed
as
well,
and
that's
why
the
integrated
resource
plan
and
process
is
helpful
versus
picking
out
a
specific
asset
that
may
or
may
not.
If
shut,
you
know
how
that
would
impact,
reliability
and
affordability
isn't
known
without
going
through
the
integrated
resource
process
anyway.
So
I
throw
that
out
there,
and
we
have
you
know
this
spring
we'll
be
filing.
We
do
an
annual
update
to
our
integrative
resource
process,
which
is
this
spring.
M
M
M
M
M
On
section
e
2.2,
the
we
thought
that
we
can
strengthen
this
a
little
bit
more
as
well,
on
implementing
a
solar,
ready,
ordinance
and
requiring
all
new
residential
multi-family
commercial
construction
to
be
solar
ready,
and
we
noted
that
what
we
can
call
our
sister
city
in
st
louis
who
we
have
a
friendly
rivalry
with,
has
a
model
ordinance
that
we
can
even
follow.
If
we
want
to
follow
their
lead
on
the
implementation,
we
thought
it
was
important
to
give
local
solar,
installers
and
workforce
development
trainees
a
fair
share.
M
So
the
community
solar
implementation
right
now
is
listed
as
energy,
but
we
actually
thought
that
we
should
even
that
out
and
allow
for
local
solar
installers.
Our
local
businesses
in
kansas
city
are
small
businesses
in
kansas
city
to
be
in
competition
for
that,
as
well
as
the
workforce,
development
trainees.
A
M
M
M
A
A
A
A
Q
N
P
P
So
as
far
as
priorities
go
b4
and
then
b2
and
going
to
recommendations
on
assumptions,
big
ones,
transitioning
to
efficient
electric
heat
pumps,
heat
pump,
water
heaters
and
induction
cooks,
those
will
reduce
utility
bills,
that's
very
clear,
and
there
are
some
really
great
heat
pumps
out
there
for
cold
weather.
In
fact,
I'm
getting
one
on
thursday,
so
it's
neat
stuff
happening
with
heat
pumps
and
another
one
is
since
appliances
and
furnaces
have
a
useful
life
of
a
decade
or
two.
P
Now
is
the
time
to
start
the
transition
because
they
will
be
sunk
costs
for
a
while
and
again
when
we
were
checking
my
furnace,
which
is
getting
one
of
my
furnaces,
which
is
getting
yanked
out
on
thursday,
it's
from
1997,
so
it's
been
around
for
25
years,
so
you
know
putting
in
a
furnace.
You
could
have
some
people
that
would
have
it
there
that
long,
so
you'd
be
looking
at
what
2047.
P
P
P
N
P
N
P
We
feel
the
city
should
be
the
implementation
lead
on
most
programs,
and
this
would
not
include
the
public
utilities.
Commission
in
yeah.
Okay
would
not
include
the
not
necessarily
include
that,
but
just
in-house
here
at
the
city-
that's
not
saying
the
city
staff
would
necessarily
do
it,
but
the
city
would
have
oversight
on
that,
and
the
organization
should
not
be
allowed
to
choose
themselves
for
future
partnerships
where
city
funds
are
involved,
that
we
think
the
city
should
have
more
control
over
that.
P
Let's
see
existing
programs
like
pays.
Here's
where
we'd
like
to
see
more
education
for
maybe
like
that
one-stop
website
a
nicely
done
website.
You
know
where
businesses
institutions,
just
individuals,
can
you
know
kind
of
one
stop
shop?
Have
it
explain
all
the
programs
that
could
be
available
to
them?
You
know
or
how
or
how
they
could
be
directed
to
that?
So
we
think
that'd
be
really
important
to
get
that
out
there
as
a
website.
P
Okay,
going
down
to
immediate
benchmarking,
this
again
a
map
on
a
city
website,
with
benchmarking,
where
the
city
would
adequately
fund
and
prioritize,
for
example,
energy
audits
enforcement,
but
making
it
more
transparent
on
the
city
website.
I
think,
if
I'm
not
wrong,
I
believe
we
were
some
people
thought
that
part
of
the
city
website
was
a
little
clanky
if
I'm
not
mistaken
and
could
be
spiffed
up
a
little
bit.
P
Let's
see
continue
sharing
the
importance
of
energy
efficiency,
electrification
and
the
benefits
to
local
business,
again
education
partially
website,
but
partially
some
outreach
as
well.
Under
b1.4.
We
propose
making
the
sentence
a
little
clearer.
Phasing
out
natural
gas
use
should
be
a
key
focus
of
these
energy
efficiency
measures.
P
As
the
city
works
to
source
all
electricity
from
renewable
energy
sources,
we
thought
that
would
be
clearer
by
stating
it
like
that
and
then
getting
into
energy
codes,
assuming
the
adoption
of
2021
iecc
codes.
If
a
builder
goes
above
and
beyond
that
that
code
for
energy
efficiency,
electrification,
solar,
eb
readiness,
what
have
you
the
city
would
investigate
possible
incentives
for
them?
P
P
B17
kristin
had
brought
this
one
to
my
attention
and
it
does
have
a
lot
of
bang
for
the
buck.
I
was
doing
a
little
more
research
on
it.
A
little
more
for
industrial
commercial,
but
to
promote
or
educate
again
could
go
back
to
the
website,
promote
reflective
roof
coating
for
industrial
and
commercial
buildings,
which
really
can
reduce
cooling
costs
there.
P
P
Okay,
so
upper
40s,
which
was
even
a
little
higher
than
than
I
thought
so
if
we
exclude
them
and
them
as
landlords
and
tenants
on
some
of
these
we're
really
doing
a
disservice.
There,
we've
got
to
find
a
way
to
get
them
more
involved,
and
that
can
be
a
challenge
because,
again
a
lot
of
times.
The
landlords
are
not
paying
the
utility
bills.
So
there's
a
disconnect
there
that
we
have
to
be
aware
of
and
to
try
to
build
bridges.
P
P
You
know,
deal
with
brookside
and
briarcliff
and
stuff
like
that.
Okay,
near
term,
b2.3
require
home
energy.
Carbon
disclosures
at
the
time
of
lease
and
sale,
not
just
a
time
of
sale,
but
if
someone's
renting
that
it
would
be
available
for
renters
as
well,
is
how
much
of
an
energy
hog
or
energy
miser
is
that
particular
structure
they're
thinking
of
renting.
P
So,
just
looking
at
some
language
that
can
help
with
that
possible
incentives,
we
don't
have
any
right
off
the
top
of
our
head,
but
something
to
look
for
as
we're
going
forward
here
and
the
3.2.
This
echoes
a
little
bit
in
the
energy
there.
Workforce
development
programs,
along
with
solar,
installers,
there's
not
enough
people
in
hvac
doing
that
type
of
work
and
so
being
trained
in
hvac
heat
pump
technology,
passive
home
techniques,
energy
efficiency.
P
explore
grant
and
private
capital
opportunities
to
issue
low
interest
loans
to
building
owners,
landlords,
property
managers,
homeowners,
businesses,
everybody
to
help
them
electrify
their
buildings,
with
modern,
efficient
appliances,
which
includes
everything
from
heating
cooling
to
cooking
water
heaters.
All
of
that.
Okay,
so
that
is
exciting.
Going
forward
hopefully
see
what
the
feds
come
up
with
there
update
existing
programs.
P
We
do
have,
I
believe,
three
buildings
of
the
city
that
are
on
the
vicinity
network
with
the
natural
gas
downtown
and
vicinity
in
boston
has
switched
that
and
so
we'd
like
the
city
to
work
with
vicinity
to
get
that
cooling
system
switched
to
a
more
renewable
to
a
renewable
energy
resource,
because
we
do
recognize.
There
are
three
buildings
on
the
vicinity
network
downtown,
including
city
hall.
A
H
O
O
Basically
talking
about
growing
and
sharing
local
and
nutritious
food,
we
decided
to
add,
with
the
urban
neighborhood
initiative,
to
incentivize
land
banks,
to
sell
vacant
lots
to
communities
in
order
to
build
more
community
and
urban
gardens
to
support
food
production
and
soil
generation,
and
I
listed
listed
a
link
here.
It's
the
uni
and
heartland
conservation
alliance
is
vacant
to
vibrant,
which
discusses
how
the
city
can
do
that.
O
O
The
next
one
is
incentivize
incentivize
and
increase
access
to
nutritionally
sound
plant-based
food
options
in
schools
and
government
buildings
allowing
access
to
a
wide
variety
of
healthy
plant-based
food
options.
So
students
who
have
decided
to
go
vegan
or
vegetarian,
don't
have
to
just
choose
to
eat
a
bagel
for
breakfast
and
lunch,
adopt
and
encourage
the
use
of
a
website
or
application
to
reduce
food
waste
in
the
city
in
order
to
get
food.
That
would
normally
go
to
landfills
onto
tables
at
a
cost,
effective
price.
O
So
there's
a
couple
of
apps
that
are
already
in
existence
too
good
to
go.
App
save
the
food
that
we
can
get
the
city
like
to
encourage
that
these
apps
come
to
our
city
as
well.
I'm
going
to
skip
this
red
comment
for
a
second
just
so
I
can
get
through
these
because
I'm
gonna
that's
a
tom
comment,
and
I
would
like
to
hear
because
I
don't
really
know
if
I
understand
so
we're
gonna
go
down
now
to
waste
it
well.
Should
I
stop
and
ask
if
there's
any
questions
about
food.
O
O
Include
this
is
a
big
one,
about
educational
include,
investing
in
educational
services
of
recycled
materials;
basically
so
the
recycle
trucks,
the
they
don't
get
contaminated
and
then
just
sent
straight
to
the
landfill.
Instead,
that's
one
of
our
issues
provide
these
for
businesses,
schools,
libraries,
what
have
you
evaluate
policy
for
all
schools,
universities
and
government
buildings
that
provide
some
type
of
food
option,
either
a
cafeteria
or
cafe,
or
coffee
shop
options
to
ban
single-use
plastics
and
polystyrene
foam
plates
trays,
food
containers
and
food
packaging,
and
that
is
to
decrease
waste
heading
into
the
landfills.
O
We
have
a
preemption
in
missouri,
so
we
can't
have
a
city-wide
ban
on
these,
but
we
can
do
these
through
schools
and
government
buildings
establish
a
zero
waste,
restaurant
and
business
recognition
and
incentive
incentives.
Wow
sorry
explore
the
creation
of
a
zero
waste
kc
logo
for
restaurants
possible
self-recognition.
I
basically
scrapped
this
from
one
of
the
other
suggestions
that
brundle
group
made
this
I'm
going
to
have
a
further
discussion
with
the
committee,
but
I'm
just
going
to
state
it
right
now:
discourage
future
advanced
recycling
or
chemical
recycling
infrastructure
within
city
limits.
O
We
don't
have
any
chemical
recycling
infrastructure
in
missouri
right
now,
but
I
know
this
industry
is
pushing
really
hard
to
make
it
easier
and
more
cost
benefit
for
them
to
build
infrastructures
within
missouri,
and
so
I
think
a
citywide
ban
would
be
great.
If
we
did.
You
know
some
type
of
tax
tom
made
a
great
point
not
offering
tax
breaks,
something
along
those
lines
banning
it
could
cause
a
preemption
again
with
this.
O
O
You
know
like
our
waste
system,
and
I
think
most
of
that
with
those
it's
a
little
bit
untethered
to
emission
reductions.
It's
just
not
the
repair
economy
and
like
green
stuff
like
that,
has
just
not
been
fully
realized
yet
because
we
can't
repair
our
phones,
for
instance,
and
we
throw
away
a
lot
of
cell
phones
and
there's
a
lot
of
emissions
that
go
into
making
and
tossing
cell
phones.
So
I'd
love
to
hear
what
the
committee
thinks
on
that
and
then
tom.
N
Okay,
yeah,
I
did
I
put
it
down,
it's
not
that
important.
Just
we
have
to
be
really
careful
how
we
were
chemical
recycling,
since
our
household
hazardous
waste
facility,
which
allows
people
to
get
rid
of
household
chemicals,
could
actually
be
seen
as
one
of
those.
So
we
just
have
to.
I
know
we
don't
actually
recycle
them,
but
yeah,
just
that
was
all
it
was.
O
I
O
A
M
R
R
I've
seen
a
lot
of
encouraging
conversation
and
recommendation
from
folks
in
this
committee.
I
would
just
say
there
are
a
lot
of
groups
that
brendall
has
not
reached
out
to
right
now,
including
folks,
heavily
affected
by
the
the
kansas
area
transit
authority,
as
well
as
a
bunch
of
other
community
groups
in
the
process.
So
I
would
hope
that
this
committee
takes
those
recommendations
seriously.
I
N
No,
I
just
I
I
was
responding
to
michael's
comment.
He
said
brindle
had
not
reached
out
to
some
of
those
groups
and
it's
not
brendol's
job
to
reach
out
to
those
groups.
It's
the
city's
job.
So
if
he
would
like
to
give
me
the
names
of
those
groups,
so
I
can
reach
out
to
them.
I
would
really
appreciate
it.
Q
Hello,
can
you
all
hear
me
hi?
My
name
is
leila,
I'm
a
resident
of
the
third
district
and
a
leader
with
sunrise
movement
kc.
My
comments
are
directed
at
the
city.
This
plan
talks
about
community
voice
being
at
the
center
of
the
recommendations.
Yet
the
very
process
that
is
shaping
this
plan
is
incredibly
inaccessible
to
the
community.
As
you
can
see,
the
participation
today
dropped
off.
Incredibly,
given
the
fact
that
public
comments
were
at
the
end,
and
I
want
to
say
that
the
process
to
even
get
into
this
meeting
is
very
difficult.
Q
The
clerk's
office
has
two
or
three
as
two
different
times
listed
in
three
different
places:
the
link's
not
embedded
into
the
clerk's
office.
This
meeting
happens
on
teams,
even
though
every
other
city
meeting
happens
on
zoom
this
chat's
inaccessible
even
to
the
hosts
and
panelists.
So
we
can't,
even
if
I
did
have
a
tech
issue,
there's
no
one.
Q
I
could
feasibly
really
contact
the
all
of
these
things,
make
it
incredibly
demoralizing
and
demotivating
to
be
here
as
a
community
member,
and
I
want
to
just
flag
that
we
still
have
two
vacancies,
and
I
ask
that
people
who
are
alive
aligned
with
us
to
push
the
mayor
to
make
those
appointments
with
beto
and
mehreen.
Thank
you.
S
Hi,
can
you
all
hear
me?
Okay,
hi,
my
name
is
mehreen,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
a
student
at
umkc
and
also
a
resident
of
district
3..
I'm
gonna
be
super
honest
with
the
climate
action
plan.
It's
been
super
confusing
trying
to
go
through
this
whole
entire
process,
and
I
don't
think
it's
fair
that
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
people
here
have
been
left
in
the
dark.
S
I
mean
when
we
went
through
it
at
the
last
meaning
it
was
super
rushed
and
then
we
also
weren't
given
a
copy
of
it
when
it
almost
seemed
like
that
was,
was
going
to
happen
because
we
didn't
even
get
to
go
through
all
of
it
or
even
in
depth.
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
I
think
it's
really
inappropriate
that
we
have
these
meetings
at
like
3
p.m.
S
For
most
people-
and
I
also
remember
like
earlier-
we
talked
about
renewable
natural
gas
and
I
wanted
to
touch
on
that
again,
because
I
think
it's
really
important
that,
like
this
plan,
pushes
for
what
what
is
possible
and
what
needs
to
be
possible.
We
can't
just
continue
relying
on
fossil
fuels,
especially
with
like
how
we
see
russia
and
everything
is
going
down
with
that.
S
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
find
ways
to
move
away
from
those
things
rather
than
trying
to
continue
using
those
things,
because
this
dependency
is
not
helpful
to
anyone
in
any
circumstance,
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
shape
this
plan
in
a
way
that
benefits
all
kids
obsidians
and
the
planet
and
is
not
just
like
what
is
a
compromise
that
a
company
can
make,
but
rather
like
what
do?
What
do
kansas
cities
deserve?
What
do
we?
What
do
we
want
as
kansas
citians.
I
T
Sorry,
can
you
all
hear
me
now:
okay,
cool,
thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
ryan
and
I
live
in
the
fourth
district
and
I'm
a
leader
with
sunrise,
kansas
city
and
a
member
of
the
midtown
tenants
union.
We've
been
beating
this
drum
throughout
a
good
amount
of
public
like
outreach
parts
of
this
program.
Some
I
just
want
to
say,
like
there
are
problems
with
this
program
like
marine
and
layla.
T
We're
just
talking
about
pretty
consistently
at
the
same
time
of
day
during
a
work
day
can
be
very
difficult
to
find
the
meeting
details,
both
where
we
go
and
what
will
be
in
the
meeting.
There's
not
the
public
outreach
has
not
been
great.
It's
been
difficult.
I
don't
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
effort
in
finding
people
who
are
in
kansas
city
who
do
care
about
a
climate
plan,
but
just
don't
know
about
this
process.
T
This
committee
still
has
two
empty
seats
like
to
me
all
these
things
not
look
like
a
city
that
is
committed
to
a
strong
climate
plan.
Most
of
this
is
not
on
this
committee.
I
realized
y'all
were
hamstrung
from
the
start
by
how
this
committee
was
set
up.
I
also
want
to
say
last
time
I
came
out
pretty
hard
against
rng
renewable
natural
gas.
I
want
to
clarify
that
position.
I
do
understand
that
it
is
like
it.
T
It
can
reduce
emissions
when
used
in
the
right
settings,
but
I
do
not
think
it
is
worth
the
money
and
the
business
that
we
hand
over
to
spire.
I
do
not
think
it
will.
It
will
not
offset
our
actual
natural
gas
usage
at
like
max
estimate
of
how
much
we
can
actually
offset
with
renewable
natural
gas
is
about
16.
I
did
a
rough
estimate
based
on
how
much
more
expensive,
renewable
natural
gas
programs
are.
T
I
think
this
would
this
could
potentially
double
utility
rates
if
we
were
to
offset
that
16
with
renewable
natural
gas
based
on
how
those
programs
can
be.
You
know,
I
think,
about
seven
times
more
expensive
per
unit
of
energy
that
you
get
out
of
that.
I
do
like
how
the
bill
and
the
buildings
team
we're
looking
through
a
lens
of
reducing
emissions
and
helping
out
tenants.
At
the
same
time,
I
really
appreciate
the
lens
that
that
team
was
looking
through
and
I
also
appreciated
sorry.
T
It
sounds
like
my
time's
up
the
distribute
generation
plan,
natural
systems
plans,
and
I
do
appreciate
pretty
much
every
edit
that
I
have
heard
from
committee
members
that
are
not
already
in
this
plan.
Today.
I've
been
pretty
on
board
with,
so
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
say
most
of
y'all
instincts.
Things
that
need
to
be
changed
are
pretty
good.
U
U
What
process
has
been
for
nothing?
The
goal
of
this
plan
should
be
to
get
rid
of
kansas
city's
dependability
dependability
on
fossil
fuels,
not
to
give
in
to
the
wishes
of
fire
and
energy
that
are
literally
destroying
my
chance
at
a
livable
future.
So
I
call
on
this
community
to
listen
to
to
the
community
members
and
to
reject
the
wrongly
labeled
renewable
natural
gas
and
to
close
any
remaining
coal
plants
in
kc
much
sooner
than
than
it
is
being
planned
to.
U
E
Hello,
can
you
hear
me
cool?
My
name
is
raymond
forstatter,
I'm
a
fourth
district
resident
and
a
leader
with
sunrise
kc,
and
I
want
to
second
a
lot
of
what
people
have
said
about
the
inaccessibility
of
these
meetings
and
also,
I
want
to
kind
of
talk
to
the
fact
that
this
committee
has
talked
a
lot
about
centering
community
voices
and
the
importance
of
community
voice,
but
a
lot
of
times.
The
action
has
shown
that
it's
a
bit
of
lip
service.
E
I
also
want
to
kind
of
talk
to
the
fact
that
I
think
it
was
pretty
gross
to
hear
the
representatives
from
utility
companies
talking
about
the
affordability
impact
of
shutting
down
coal
plants
when
there
are
already
thousands
of
families
around
kansas
city
that
are
having
their
utilities
shut
off,
because
they
can't
afford
the
current
rates
anyways.
So
the
fact
that
they
are
talking
to
the
idea
of
something
making
it
unaffordable
is
kind
of
ignorant
to
the
unaffordability
that
exists
already
from
these
companies.
H
B
V
V
D
I
C
Yes,
my
name
is
robert.
What
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
sir?
Oh
I'm,
I'm
I'm
sorry.
I
was
I'm
technology
challenged
on
this
end.
I'm
part
of
the
thomas
hart
bitten
group,
executive
committee
of
the
sierra
club
and
I'm
also
in
district
three,
and
I
just
barely
got
in
on
the
the
end
of
the
building
part
of
this
presentation,
and
I
was
calling
for.
C
And
finally,
I
want
to
ask
there's
something
called
flying
extensions
where
I
guess
the
city
gives
incentives
for
builders
to
connect
with
gas
mains,
and
I
also
wanted
to
urge
that
that
be
ended
by
2030.
I'm
trying
to
because
I'm
in
the
urban
core.
I
want
to
move
us
toward
electrification
sooner
than
I
think
a
lot
of
people
on
this
committee
might
want,
but
it's
a
matter
of
health
for
me,
so
I
think
it
needs
to
be
done.
So
that's
all
I
need
to
say,
and
thanks
for
listening.
H
A
O
That's
fair
one
of
my
biggest
questions
was
I
couldn't
just
I
couldn't
tell,
and
this
is
gonna
be
laura.
I'm
already
planning
on
sending
you
an
email
with
kristen.
I
couldn't
her
page
numbers
were
really
wonky,
so
I
don't
know
if
she
was
switching
between
pdf
or
like
the
actual
document
page
number.
So
that
needs
to
be
clarified
in
that
document,
but
I
mean
I
think
that
you
know
she
has
the
assumption
that
we
were
going
to
vote
on
all
of
these
today.
So
yeah.
A
A
H
A
N
I
mean
I
can
the
next
steps
are
I'm
pro.
I'm
gonna
get
all
of
your
recommendations
to
brindle
with
clarification
where
I
have
it
and
I'm
gonna
send
them
also
a
copy
of
this
recording.
So
they
can
get
a
little
bit
more
info
on
that
they've
got
approximately
two
weeks
that
we
put
into
the
schedule
for
them
to
incorporate
your
all
of
your
comments.
They
didn't
know
for
sure.
N
You
know
what
those
would
look
like
and
how
long
it
would
take
and
they
will
probably
need
to
reach
back
out
a
little
bit
for
some
of
them
and
then
the
plan
will
then
go
to
public
comment.
The
plan
will
be
open
for
public
comment
for
a
month
before
we
go
back
to
brendel
with
with
public
input
and
then
deal
with
all
of
the
changes
that
the
public
wants,
or
I
don't
know
exactly
how
it's
all
gonna
work
out
at
this
point.
N
We're
still
kind
of
running
through
how
this
is
is,
is
all
gonna
gonna
pan
out,
but
we're
definitely
taking
public
input
for
a
month
and
then
we'll
have
a
couple
of
weeks
for
brendell
to
incorporate
those
comments
and
then,
during
our
next
cpsc
meeting,
which
is
about
a
month
out,
we'll
probably
talk
about
how
the
cpsc
wants
to
proceed
after
the
public
comments
are
all
received
and
then
we're
going
to
get
this
resolution
in
front
of
council.
So
we
can
get
the
plan
adopted.
N
At
the
same
time,
it
comes
back
to
the
public
and
you
will
once
again
have
time
to
comment
as
members
of
the
kansas
city
public
on
changes
to
that
plan,
but
that
they
were
gonna
update
it.
It
was
once
they
got
your
updates
included.
We
were
gonna
put
it
in
and
then
you
could
say:
oh
wait
that
wasn't
right
or
got
that
a
little
wrong
or
he
wanted
that
change.
But
that
was
last
meeting.
A
D
I
mean
I'm,
I
mean,
I
think
we,
if
you're
asking
for
a
day
or
two
or
a
few
days
to
review
it,
it
might
be
possible
to
do
that.
The
only
thing
is,
we
would
have
to
make
sure
to
avoid
public
comments
or
sunshine
law
is
just
your
any
comments
or
edits,
or
anything
that
we
might
have
missed
or
brendel
had
missed
that
you
email
them
directly
to
laura
to
be
incorporated.
That
might
be
the
quickest
easiest
thing
to
do.
