A
C
I
also
don't
think
that
I'll
have
a
formal
request
for
the
ordinance
on
on
complete
streets
or
really
the
the
climate
protection
update.
It's
just
more
an
informal
or
an
informational
update
for
the
good
of
the
committee
commission
as
a
whole.
A
Well,
maybe
we
best
better
jump
in.
Why
don't
I
go
ahead,
we'll
we
will
skip
the
minutes
for
now
and
let's
just
review,
who
is
online
right
now,
so
it's
carol
and
identify
yourselves.
E
D
A
A
Okay,
good,
okay,
good!
Well
I'll!
Tell
you
what
we'll
do
let's
go
ahead
and
give
michael
a
chance
to
update
us
on?
What's
happened
with
the
climate
protection
steering
committee
and
and
then
go
ahead
and
update
us
on
what's
going
on
with
the
bike
lanes
and
complete
streets.
C
C
For
those
who
who
aren't
familiar,
I
was
voted
vice
chair.
So,
in
addition
to
my
duties
here,
I
also
am
helping
robin
gnaw.
The
new
chair
of
the
client
protection
steering
committee
with
her
duties
on
that
group,
as
well
in
in
terms
of
what
our
primary
focus
has
been
up
to
this
point.
C
It
really
has
been
focusing
on
trying
to
assist
and
inform
city
staff
as
they
work
to
develop
language
and
outreach
related
to
the
climate
protection
resiliency
plan
update-
and
I
I
definitely
want
to
take
them
this
moment-
to
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
laura
and
andy
in
particular,
because
I
know
that
the
climate
protection
steering
committee-
we
we're
asking
a
lot
because
there's
a
lot
that
we
want
to
get
done,
but
obviously
that
request
is
being
made
to
to
staff.
C
So
so
we
do
appreciate
their
willingness
to
to
work
with
us
and
and
to
do
their
best
in
their
own
capacities
to
to
serve
us
as
well.
So
in
in
terms
of
where
things
kind
of
stand
with
the
climate
protection
steering
committee,
or
I
mean
with
the
climate
protection
resiliency
plan,
the
the
committee
has
been-
has
been
working
with
staff
to
try
to
get
an
update
on
or
try
to
kind
of
formalize
kind
of
the
the
the
process
for
how
we're
going
to
consider.
C
I'm
an
advise
on
potential
elements
that
go
into
the
new
plan,
so
things
around
equity
things
around
which
areas
to
prioritize
and
various
elements
like
that
and
laura
can
can
speak
to
additional
elements.
If
I
forget
anything
in
particular,
but
just
the
general
gist
is
that
there
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
will
be
happening
between
now
and
the
end
of
the
year
and
they've
already
been
doing
a
great
deal
of
outreach.
C
I'm
not
sure
how
many
of
you
were
aware
or
able
to
attend,
but
they
have
had
several
in-person
engagements.
C
C
So
beyond
that
the
the
committee
has
been
working
to
offer
additional
advice
on
on
potential
legislation,
and
that
includes
the
the
recent
push
yes
yeah.
I
mean
I
really
can't
can't
stress
enough
how
much
lara
has
been
has
been
out
doing
the
work,
and
I
really
appreciate
her
her
efforts
on
everything.
C
Thus
far,
but
again,
we
we've
also
been
working
to
advise
the
committee
or
advise
the
city
council
on
prospective
legislation,
including
the
climate
emergency
resolution
that
was
sponsored
by
councilwoman
robinson
as
well
as
the
I
believe
there
was
another
resolution
that
was
introduced.
Oh
oh,
updating,
the
legislative
priorities
at
the
state
and
federal
level
to
include
more
language
on
climate
resiliency.
C
So
for
those
of
you
who
did
not
know
or
weren't
able
to
attend,
we
held
a
special
meeting
where
we,
as
a
committee,
identified
additional
areas
of
focus
for
sustainability
as
related
to
the
the
priorities
of
the
state
and
federal
level
and
and
shared
those
with
the
special
committee
on
legal
review.
C
Beyond
that,
that's
that
it
really
has
just
been
trying
to
just
be
a
little
bit
more
proactive
than
we
have
been
in
the
past,
and
so
I'm
that's
kind
of
a
basic
30
000
foot
view
of
what's
been
going
on.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
the
rest
of
the
committee
about
the
work
we've
done.
Thus.
C
Far
so
emily,
just
as
a
point
of
clarification,
are
you
referring
to
remaining
seats
on
the
environmental
management
commission
or
the
client
protection
steering
committee.
F
C
Sure,
and
thank
you
for
the
clarification
and
the
question
so
so.
My
understanding
is
that
robin
has
made
several
suggestions
on
potential
individuals
to
fill
those
vacancies,
and
so
I
at
least,
as
far
as
I
know,
the
ball
is
kind
of
in
the
the
mayor's
co.
The
mayor's
court
in
terms
of
figuring
out
who
he
wants
to
appoint,
to
fill
those
remaining
vacancies.
G
And
mike,
if
I
could
clarify
I'm
not
sure
robin
made
specific
recommendations
more
so
I
think
she
was
encouraging
people
to
go
to
the
mayor's
website
to
fill
out
the
application
to
participate
on
the
commission
or
on
the
committee,
so
that
was
kind
of
how
I
think
it
was
left
at
the
last
steering.
G
So
certainly
encouraging
folks
to
just
get
on
and
fill
out
the
paperwork
to
be
appointed
and
robin
did
do
a
good
job
of
getting
that
into
her
testimony
during
the
climate
emergency
resolution
last
week
in
front
of
the
committee
which
included
the
mayor.
So
I
think
that
was
a
smart
move
to
kind
of
slip
that
in
there.
C
Yes,
okay!
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
clarification,
andy
and
so
emily
kind
of
to
your
point,
then,
if,
if
you
or
someone
you
know
is
still
interested,
we
would
absolutely
encourage
them
to
apply
and-
and
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
for
everyone
on
the
call,
I'm
sure
most
of
you
know
this,
but
if
you're
interested
in
serving
on
the
client
protection
steering
committee
or
the
environmental
management
commission,
we.
C
Would
would
love
to
have
the
additional
help,
and
so
that
that
offer
is,
is
on
the
table
and
wanted
to
make
sure.
I
made
that
clear
for
everyone
in
attendance
today
or
watching.
C
Are
there
any
additional
questions?
Yes,
please
apply
online.
It
makes
the
process
much
much
quicker.
So
are
there
any
additional
questions
for
me
about
the
client
protection
steering
committee.
E
H
Sorry
does
it
does
the
call
to
questions
apply
to
members
of
the
public
as
well?
I
don't
want
to
speak
out
of
turn.
Oh
yes,.
H
Right
sorry,
rule
of
order
deep,
so
thank
you.
You
know
all
for
your
continued
work
and
encouraging
the
mayor's
office
to
make
sure
that
our
budget
boards
are
full
up
to
full
force.
Do
you
have
a
sense
of
how
many
applications
have
been
submitted
for
these
vacancies?
I'm
curious!
If
that's
something
that
you
all
might
be
aware
of.
H
I
know
some
folks
have
expressed
interest
and
just
you
know,
as
a
as
somebody
works
with
a
grassroots
organization
just
like
if,
if,
if
it
be
possible
to
you
know
the
folks
who
want
to
reach
out
to
the
mayor
to
say
like
encourage
them
to
take
action,
make
sure
that
we're
kind
of
being
specific,
encouraging
them
to
don't.
H
C
I
don't
have
any
any
numbers
in
front
of
me.
I
was
andy
or
laura.
Do
either
of
you
happen
to
have
the
numbers
or
or
jerry,
if
not
it's,
okay,
as
just
figure
figured
I'd,
ask.
G
I've
tried
to
reach
out
to
the
mayor's
office
on
more
than
one
occasion
over
the
past
two
years
to
at
least
to
get
a
feel
for
you
know
how
many
candidates
there
are
when
appoint
appointments
would
be
made.
It's
a
pretty
guarded
secret
from
the
mayor's
office.
So
I
find
out
pretty
much
when
the
public
finds
out.
C
So
I
will
say
if
there
is
a
if
there
is
a
concern
or
a
question
about
transparency
with
with
numbers,
I'm
sure
that
organizations
here
and
individuals
who
have
an
interest
in
knowing
more
can
can
certainly
try
to
find
out
how
to
find
more
of
that
information.
So
do
what
that,
what
you
will
billy.
C
Are
there
any
additional
questions?
Billy
again,
thank
you
for
your
question.
C
Okay,
so
assuming
from
the
silence
that
everyone
is,
is
good
on
that,
I
know
that
carol
had
also
asked
me
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
talking
about
a
piece
of
legislation
that
was
introduced.
That
was
a
little
bit
concerning,
especially
from
an
environmental
standpoint.
C
C
It
would
have
directed
the
city
manager
to
remove
bike
lanes
in
her
district
unless
the
neighborhood
association
said
that
they
wanted
them
would
have
effectively
banned
new
bike
lanes
from
going
in
unless
the
city,
council
and
neighborhood
association
signed
off
and
most
concerning
is
that
it
would
have
opted
the
council
district,
her
entire
council
district
out
of
the
city's
complete
streets
ordinance
for
those
of
you
who
who
aren't
familiar
complete
streets
as
an
idea
is
this
idea
that
streets
should
be
built
for
all
modes
of
transportation,
regardless
of
your
preferred
mode,
whether
it
be
walking
or
transit
or
using
an
assistive
device
like
a
wheelchair
or
biking.
C
C
It's
been
on
the
books
for
several
years
and
it
has
helped
to
inform
our
efforts
around
building
a
more
multimodal
and
important
for
this
group.
Sustainable
transportation
system,
because
obviously
transportation
is,
is
our
largest
source
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
We
have
to
do
more
to
encourage
these
forms
of
transportation.
C
So
on
that
stance
alone,
we
were
very
very
concerned
about
the
legislation,
but
it
was
also
a
little
bit
concerning
because
it
created
somewhat
of
a
concerning
sort
of
framework
and
precedent
for
council
members
to
be
able
to
opt
out
of
legislation
that
they
didn't
like.
So
if
a
council
member
somewhere
down
the
line,
you
know
decided
that
they
didn't
want
to
institute
something
related
to
sustainability
policy.
C
If
this
ordinance
were
to
be
adopted,
they
would
then
have
a
framework
and
precedent
to
be
able
to
point
to
to
say
you
granted
this
for
this
district.
You
should
do
the
same
thing
for
me
on
this
issue,
and
so
we
we
raised
these
concerns
with
councilwoman
robinson.
C
We
were
able
to
meet
with
her
as
an
organization
bike,
while
casey
was
able
to
meet
with
her
as
an
organization
to
kind
of
bring
these
concerns
to
her
attention,
and
it
is
our
understanding
that
councilwoman
robinson
is,
is
willing
to
to
potentially
work
on
on
legislation
that
kind
of
gets
closer
to
her
main
concern.
So
so
councilman
robinson
made
it
very
clear
in
our
meeting
that
her
primary
concern
really
beyond
you
know,
bike
infrastructure
was
really
with
the
issues
of
community
engagement.
C
The
city
has
has
struggled
in
the
past
with
with
community
engagement,
especially
around
infrastructure
projects,
and
that
has
created
mistrust
which
ultimately
makes
it
harder
for
some
of
these
projects
to
move
forward
and
so
trying
to
find
ways
to
improve
the
legislation
to
kind
of
address.
C
Those
concerns
is
is
really
something
that
that
she
would
like
to
see
in
order
to
kind
of
move
to
to
a
point
where,
from
a
legislative
standpoint,
there's
something
that
that
everyone
can
kind
of
get
behind
to
answer
nate's
question
very
quickly:
yes,
yeah
and
been
been
answered.
It
already.
But
yes,
both
pieces
of
legislation
were
sponsored
by
councilwoman
robinson.
C
So
so
our
understanding
at
this
point,
the
way
that
things
stand
legislatively
is
that
councilwoman
robinson
requested
a
hold
until
december
1st
on
the
legislation.
C
Following
our
conversation,
she
has
indicated
that
she
may
be
willing
to
request
another
hold.
While
we
try
to
work
on
some
some
different
language
and
in
the
meantime,
she
has
been
gathering
community
feedback
on
the
legislation.
There
was
a
public
in-person
meeting
on
november
1st.
There
was
a
virtual
meeting
on
november
3rd
and
there
will
be
another
virtual
meeting.
C
Next
thursday
november
18th
at
10
a.m.
I
know
there
were
a
couple
of
people
here
in
attendance
today
who
were
at
a
couple
of
those
meetings
and
obviously,
through
my
own
professional
capacity
with
bikewall
kc.
C
I've
reached
out
to
several
of
you,
but
I
I
do
think
that
councilman
robinson's
concerns
about
community
engagement
are
are
well
founded
and
we
fully
agree
with
her
and
we
fully
agree
with
the
need
to
create
safer
streets
for
people
who
walk
for
people
who
may
be
walking
to
school
for
for
all
all
manner
of
things.
It's
just
that
we.
C
We
don't
think
that
we
need
to
pit
sidewalks
against
bike
lanes
in
order
to
try
to
get
to
that
point,
and
so
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
work
with
councilman
robinson
to
try
to
find
a
legislative
solution
that
that
really
works
for
everyone.
So
that's
kind
of
the
the
spiel
on
that.
If
anyone
has
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
them
on
this
ordinance.
C
Well,
if
there
aren't
any
questions
or
anything,
then
again,
yes,.
E
It
seems
like
if
people
had
somewhere
to
go
on
bicycles,
there
would
be
more
bicycles,
and
I
guess
what
I
mean
by
that
is
there
are
there
is
places
to
go,
but
you
know
you
might
have
to
to
pedal
halfway
across
the
city
and
it's
a
large
place,
and,
and
so
it
seems
to
me
that
we've
we
can't
just
do
the
bicycles
alone
we
have
to.
E
We
have
to
put
drug
stores
near
people
or
or
kind
of
like
it
used
to
was
a
long
time
ago,
where
the
you
know
the
there's
more
square
feet
of
grocery
stores
than
ever,
but
there's
way
fewer
grocery
stores
and,
and
there
used
to
be
one
on
several.
You
know
different
corners
near
where
you
lived,
and
I
brought
that
up
somewhere
else
too.
You
know
it's,
I
mean
I
guess
we
could
all
all
have
a
delivery
service.
You
know
we
have.
E
We
could
have
I'll,
have
a
delivery
service,
bring
our
groceries
to
us
and
and
solve
the
problem.
That
way,
you
understand
what
I'm
saying
I
I
you
know
if
we
had
so,
I
think.
C
I
I
get
I
get
what
you're
saying
marty.
I.
I
think
that
the
thing
is
that
it
it.
It
really
comes
down
to
to
the
issue
of
choice
like
it's.
It's
not
to
say
that
any
one
particular
mode
should
should
be.
You
know
just
the
absolute
one
that
everyone
has
to
use.
Everyone
has
different
needs.
Everyone
has
different
places
to
go,
but
the
idea
is
that
as
a
city,
we
should
be
building
options
and
the
and
the
choice
for
people
to
be
able
to
choose
how
they
want
to
get
from
one
place
to
another.
C
So
it's
not
to
say
that
we
should
should
build
bike
lanes
exclusively.
That's
that's
never
been
been
our
point
and
I
don't
think
it
should
be
the
city's
point
either.
It
is
that
if
there
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
build
our
roads
and
our
systems
in
a
way
which
supports
as
many
modes
as
possible,
we
should
be
doing
that
and
we
shouldn't
be
pitting
the
smaller
modes
against
one
another,
because
the
bigger
the
bigger
issue
is
is
our
over
dependency
on
on
driving
alone.
C
So,
that's
not
even
to
say
that
that
driving
doesn't
have
its
place.
I
know
that
there
are
plenty
of
champions,
even
in
this,
even
in
this
group
here
who,
who
want
to
see
more
more
electric
cars
and
electric
cars
do
have
their
place,
but
specifically
from
a
sustainability
standpoint.
We
we
can't
rely
on
driving
alone,
even
if.
B
C
All
with
electric
cars,
because
electric
cars
alone
aren't
going
to
get
us
to
the
lower
point
that
we
need
to
when
it
comes
to
lowering
our
transportation
emissions.
The
most
effective
and
quickest
way
to
lower
our
emissions
when
it
comes
to
transportation,
is
by
driving
less
and
the
easiest
way
to
do.
That
is
to
not
just
build
more
bike
infrastructure,
but
to
build
more
sidewalks
and
safer
pedestrian
facilities
and
to
invest
a
great
deal
more
in
transit,
specifically
rapid
transit.
C
Yes,
yes,
that
is,
that
is
absolutely
right,
and
I
mean
even
even
from
an
organizational
standpoint.
We
we
try
to
work
with
our
counterparts
at
the
kcata,
because
it
is
very
evident
that
making
it
easier
for
people
to
walk
or
bike
to
transit
is
is
what
makes
that
multimodal
choice
that
much
easier
for
more
people
to
make.
So
so,
yes,
absolutely.
A
Stick
around
and
chime
in
some
more,
we
have
a
quorum,
and
so
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
the
review
of
the
minutes
from
september
and
october.
Rachel
was
nice
enough
to
go
back
and
prepare
some
minutes
for
our
award
ceremony.
So
first,
are
the
september
minutes
acceptable
to
you
all
as
written
audition
for
corrections.
A
Okay,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
or
raise.
E
A
Okay,
now,
let's
take
a
look
at
the
october
minutes:
are
there
any
additions
or
corrections
to
the
october
minutes.
C
A
B
A
Okay,
all
in
favor,
say
aye.
C
A
Okay,
they
are
approved
as
written.
Thank
you
rachel
while
we
still
have
michael
and
since
this
is
related
to
the
climate
protection
planning
as
well.
I
would
like
us
to
move
next
to
resolution
210967
the
declaration
of
climate
and
ecological
emergency,
who
is
asking.
G
Me
carol
yeah
I'll,
take
this
one
and
I
didn't
have
a
full
presentation
prepared
for
this
per
se.
I
recently
I
just
kind
of
want
to
give
a
quick
overview
of
some
of
the
changes
that
came
out
of
the
substitute
that
I
think
the
commission
had
a
chance
to
review
an
original
draft
and
then,
through
the
input
of
additional
stakeholders
and
feedback
from
staff,
the
the
resolution
was
kind
of
added
to
so
we
have
a
committee
substitute
for
it,
so
I
just
thought
I
kind
of
hit
some
of
the
highlights
of
this.
G
I
did
recently
just
get
a
copy
of
it:
a
clean
draft
and
an
authenticated
draft
from
the
mayor's
office.
So
you
I
emailed
that
out
to
the
commission
here,
maybe
about
an
hour
ago.
So
if
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
it
feel
free
to
do
so,
and
I
don't
mean
to
read
the
whole
thing
to
you.
G
Of
course,
you
know
we're
right
in
the
midst
of
the
climate
planning
process
which,
as
we
talked
about
in
the
commission's
original
meeting
about
this
issue,
you
know
makes
it
a
little
bit
more
challenging,
but
I
think
we
can
move
forward
with
with
at
least
some
consideration
of
some
of
these
sections,
so
the
the
substitute
that
came
out
ended
up
adding
four
sections
to
the
resolution
and
just
as
a
review.
G
Of
course,
you
know
it's
rallying
the
support
of
our
elected
officials,
the
citizens
and
staff
in
the
creation
of
this
plan,
and
then
section
five
was
talking
about
subsidy
programs,
and
that
was
that
was.
That
is
what
I
think,
piqued
councilman
robinson's
interest
in
this
resolution.
To
begin
with,
it
was
from
the
environmental
management
commission's
annual
report,
where
you
basically
identified
several
projects
and
programs
around
the
country.
G
So
the
first
five,
I
would
say,
were
probably
the
core
of
what
the
original
resolution
was
about,
of
course,
including
it
as
the
legislative
priority
for
the
state
and
federal
was.
It
was
included
in
that.
But
what
came
out
of
that?
The
additional
9
10,
11
and
12
were
some
interesting
and
probably
well
thought
out
additions
to
this.
The
first
one
I'll
mention
was
revisiting
the
goals.
G
So,
as
you
all
know,
the
city
has
our
climate
neutral
goals
for
the
community
at
2040
and
for
the
city,
operations
of
2030
and
so
section
9
kind
of
kind
of
encourages
the
city
to
revisit
those
goals
on
a
more
regular
basis.
And
so
you
know
as
data
as
information
comes
available
from
ipcc
or
other
sources.
G
It's
just
kind
of
a
reminder
that
we
should
kind
of
consider
those
particular
data
sources
revisit
the
goals-
and
you
know
see
if
there's
any
amendments
or
changes
or
to
our
plan,
which
at
this
point
we're
assuming
we're
going
to
get
a
plan
approved
by
council
sometime
in
january
or
february.
G
But
you
know,
I
think,
down
the
road
a
year
down
the
road
two
three
four
years,
whatever
it
will
remind
us
that
we
do
need
to
revisit
those
goals
from
time
to
time
to
see
if
they're
still
relevant,
section
10.
G
G
G
This
is
just
basically
where
the
kansas
city
will
encourage
other
cities,
other
municipalities
in
the
region
and
beyond,
to
take
similar
actions,
and
there
are
organizations
that
do
kind
of
rally.
These
types
of
resolutions-
I've
already
been
kind
of
looking
at
some
of
those
organizations
where
we
can
kind
of
sign
on
to
and
get
kind
of
registered.
If
you
want
to
call
it
that
as
participating
in
this
particular
action.
G
As
of
the
date
of
the
resolution
in
in
this
country,
it
was,
it
was
about
167
cities,
counties
townships,
had
signed
on
to
a
climate
emergency
before
we
had
actually
finished
with
a
resolution.
It
was
about
150,
so
like
15
or
16
had
joined
on
before
we
had
passed
ours
within
a
matter
of
two
weeks
globally,
you're
looking
at
closer
to
about
two
thousand,
you
know
a
little
bit
over
two
thousand
municipalities
locality,
local
governments
around
the
world
that
sign
on
to
these
things.
G
So
anyways,
that's
just
kind
of
a
quick
overview
of
this
resolution.
Take
a
look
at
it
in
more
detail,
I'm
quite
sure
that
the
climate
protection
steering
committee
and
our
stakeholders
will
will
be
wanting
to
revisit
this
in
more
detail
at
a
later
time
to
kind
of
really
kind
of
peel
this
apart
a
little
bit
more
and
really
try
to
attach.
You
know
meaningful
actions
to
some
of
these
sections
in
this
resolution,
so
I
think
that
is
the
gist
of
it.
G
C
I'll,
I
will
just
reiterate
some
of
the
comments
and
just
say
thank
you
andy
for
for
your
work
on
this
ordinance
or
for
this
resolution
and
for
working
with
the
client
protection
steering
committee
to
make
sure
that
our
suggestions
and
dialogue
was
was
relayed
to
the
members
of
the
city
council.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
A
Okay,
well
we're
kind
of
on
a
theme
here.
I
wonder
if
we
want
to
have
an
update
on
the
planning
process
from
laura
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
that
that
work,
yeah.
G
That's
a
good
idea
for
me
well,
and
I
was
just
going
to
before
we
turn
over
to
laura.
I
was
going
to
mention
as
well
that
kind
of
staying
with
this
theme
that,
if
you
didn't
catch
it
earlier
laura
and
myself,
along
with
representative
from
climate
action,
kc
spoke
at
the
city's
business
session
in
front
of
full
council
at
two
o'clock
today.
So
we
gave
a
presentation
on
both
the
regional
plan
and
common
update
on
what
the
city
is
doing
with
with
our
planning
process.
G
D
I
Okay,
so
I'll
just
I'll
go
ahead
and
give
you
guys
just
some
slides
from
the
slideshow
that
we
presented
to
council,
because
I
think
it's
kind
of
relevant
just
a
reminder
of
the
overview
of
our
various
engagement
phases
for
this
plan,
so
phase
one
where
we
were
just
listening
to
community
to
find
out
just
their
thoughts
on
the
whole
climate
crisis
in
general,
started
in
june
and
ended
approximately
september
and
then
phase
two,
which
is
our
collaborate
and
explore
phase.
I
Actually,
I
think,
technically
just
ended
last
night
with
our
last
strategy
session,
but
we
do
have
a
meeting
next
week
with
kansas
city,
industrial
council
and
the
chamber
to
talk
about
some
strategy
ideas
with
them
and
also
I
have
one
with
a
community
out
in
south
kansas
city
coming
up
next
week.
So
just
a
few
stragglers
coming
in
on
those
meetings.
I
But
that
phase
was
where
we
were
gathering
strategy
ideas
from
the
community
based
on.
We,
we
kind
of
gave
them
these.
For
those
of
you
that
attended
know
this,
but
we
gave
them
boards
that
have
the
different
strategy
ideas
in
our
various
areas
that
were
in
the
plan,
the
the
regional
plan
and
then
ask
them
what
was
missing
and
we
did
get
a
lot
of
good
feedback
on
some
strategies
that
were
missing
and
so
now
we're
beginning
our
prioritize
and
align
phase.
I
That's
going
to
be
a
more
inward
facing
the
consultant's
going
to
do
some
high-level
analysis
on
those
well,
first
off
they're,
going
to
put
our
strategies
in
buckets
and
they're
going
to
do
some
high-level
analysis
of
what
strategies
are
going
to
really
get
us
to
our
climate
goals
and
then
we're
going
to
take
the
once.
The
analysis
is
done,
we're
going
to
take
that
to
topical
area.
Work
groups
I'll,
give
you
a
little
more
information
on
for
analysis
and
then
we're
hoping
for
a
draft
plan
by
january.
I
The
prioritizing
alliance
phase
is
is
pretty
much
going
to
happen
during
the
month
of
december,
so
just
just
kind
of
a
quick
overview
of
how
much
participation
we
did
get
in
the
process.
So
the
online
participants-
and
this
is
actually
it
says,
phase
one,
but
this
does
include
phase
two
as
well,
because
we
had
a
lot
of
the
the
surveys,
the
maps
and
and
things
like
that,
where
we're
in
phase
one
we're
carried
over
to
phase
two.
So
we
had
quite
a
robust
engagement
online.
I
We
believe
for
what
the
plan
was,
and
then
our
climate
justice
workers,
justice
and
jelly
have
had
81
community
conversations
with
over
500
stakeholders,
a
lot
of
dialogue
and
mostly
focusing
on
our
council
districts
with
our
highest
climate,
vulnerable
populations.
But
there
was
also
some
pretty
robust
conversation
with
the
north
land
as
well.
I
This
is
kind
of
a
reminder.
These
are
the
climate
action
areas
that
we
decided
on
for
the
plan,
and
I
can't
remember
if
we
had
completely
decided
on
them
when
I
last
talked
to
this
group,
so
I
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
kind
of
reiterate
what
those
were,
and
so
we've
got
six
buckets.
I
Those
are
our
sat
strategy
areas
on
the
outside
mobility,
energy
supply,
natural
systems,
homes
and
buildings,
food
and
waste
and
materials
at
the
center,
where
everything
is
going
to
resonate
from
is
the
climate,
justice
and
equity
piece
and
then
community
resilience,
the
financing
and
infra
innovation
piece
and
the
community
empowerment
piece
are
going
to
be
woven
into
all
of
these
various
action
areas
as
we
go,
and
so
this
is
just
kind
of
from
our
strategy
sessions
that
we
had
where
we
asked
community.
I
What
we're
hearing
is
important
from
community
around
mobility,
our
kind
of
things
we
already
knew-
and
this
is
coming
not
only
from
you
know
the
emc
experts
and
the
climate
protection
steering
committee
folks,
and
our
advocates
that
came
to
these
meetings.
Thank
you
billy
for
coming
to,
I
think
every
meeting,
but
one
we
really
missed
you
at
southland,
but
we're
hearing
him
from
community
as
well.
So
they
like
the
idea
of
complete
streets.
They
like
expanding
trans,
alternative
transportation
programs
and
having
a
system
of
protected
bike
lanes
and
sidewalks
for
people
to
access.
I
I
Natural
systems
this
one
was
here-
we've
got
a
lot
of
strategies
coming
out
of
natural
systems.
It's
kind
of
a
hot
topic
right
now,
but
of
course
increasing
our
tree
canopy
and
preserving
the
green
space
we
already
have
is
a
big
deal
and
encouraging
and
requiring
the
use
even
of
native
plants,
on
on
some
developments
and
on
city
property
and
then
just
evaluating
opportunities
to
increase
use
of
green
development
practices
within
other
plans
and
policies
of
the
city,
our
homes
and
buildings.
I
Were
these
are
kind
of
the
consultant
put
these
together,
based
on
what
we're
hearing,
what
I'm
really
hearing
from
community
is
make
our
homes
energy
efficient,
help
us
find
out
how
to
get
cool
roofs
on
our
homes.
That's
that's
really
big.
Coming
from
community,
how
do
we
reduce
our
our
utility
bills,
but
then,
of
course,
also
from
our
stakeholder
community?
We're
we're
seeing
bolster
the
current
benchmarking
program
that
we
already
have
and
start
building
performance
standards.
I
Really,
a
lot
of
communities
want
flood
barriers
to
help
protect
infrastructure
along
our
creeks
and
streams,
and
then
building
really
just
adopting
enforcement
strategies
in
order
to
get
our
homes
and
and
buildings.
I
Why
is
my
phone
going
off
like
crazy?
I
apologize
I'm
trying
to
get
it
away
from
me
and
healthy
housing
standards,
food,
we're
hearing,
support
our
farmers
and
our
ranchers
and
traditional
agricultural
practices,
environmentally
friendly
agricultural
practices
and
mardi
soil
protection
and
repair
soils
become
a
really
big
deal
wasted
materials.
I
Really
it's
get
some
composting
up
and
running.
They
really
want
us
to
do
that
and
then
managing
our
construction
and
demolition
waste
to
divert
that
material
which
I
that
actually
came
up
more
than
I
expected
and
then
get
us
comprehensive,
solid
waste
management
plan
so
that
we
can
actually
reach
our
diversion
goals
this
time
around.
I
So
that
was
kind
of
just
a
few
of
the
the
strategies
we're
hearing
from
community
that
would
fit
within
those
various
strategy,
topic
groups,
and
so
here's
where
we
are
now
the
topical
work
groups
have
been
scheduled.
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
90-minute
meeting
of
each
topical
area.
Work
group
and
that's
going
to
consist
of
our
subject
matter.
I
Experts
are
in
our
advocacy
groups
and
communities,
so
we're
going
to
put
everybody
kind
of
in
the
same
zoom
room
together
and
kind
of
hash
out
which
of
these
priorities
are
going
to
actually
be
implementable
in
kansas
city
after
the
consultant.
Does
that
high-level
analysis
and
gets
them
back
to
us
they're
we're
kind
of
gonna?
What
it's
gonna
be
is
almost
like
a
suite
of
items
to
choose
from
to
kind
of
pick
from
what
can
we
work
on
now?
What
what
is
you
know
our?
What
are
our
advocacy
groups
or
our
nonprofits
already
working
on?
I
What
can
we
get
funding
for
right
now
and
how
much
is
that
going
to
move
the
needle
on
carbon
reduction,
so
those
are
are:
are
ready
to
go
out,
I'm
in
the
process
of
updating
the
playbook
site,
so
that
this
information
is
on
here
and
I'm
working
with
the
consultant
to
get
our
registration
links
up.
So
you
guys
can
register
for
them.
At
this
point,
though,
if
you
are
interested
in
being
part
of
any
of
these
topical
work
groups,
please
just
email
me
and
you
know
say
hey.
I
I
As
soon
as
we
have
these
up
and
running
to
be
able
to
register
to
make
sure
that
we
get
you
signed
up
for
it
and
then
I'm
going
to
follow
up
with
all
those
folks
that
have
already
told
me
they
were
interested
and
we've
already
put
on
a
spreadsheet
to
make
sure
they
actually
do
get
signed
up.
So
laura.
A
E
A
E
I
have
I
have
a.
It
seems
to
me
that
the
food
and
natural
systems
and
composting
have
a
have
a
real
relationship.
E
They're
more
natural,
the
whole
thing
is
natural,
and
the
only
reason
that
agriculture
might
be
separate
is
because
it
is
veered
off
to
chemistry
or
something
so
anyway.
I
I
don't
know
what
you
can
do
to
keep
those
to
break
the
walls
between
the
silos
that
you
may
be
setting
up.
I
I
So,
in
the
end,
we're
hoping
if
you
want
to
be
part
of
multiple
work
groups
that
you
that
you
join
multiple
work
groups,
if
you
can't,
but
you
just
want
to
make
sure
that
certain
strategies
are
really
considered
in
those
work
groups.
We
can
the
city
can
make
sure
that
we,
if
you
send
us
an
email
that
we
get
that
to
the
work
group.
So
there's
there's
all
kinds
of
ways
to
get
involved
in
that.
But
I
think
in
the
end
it's
gonna,
it's
gonna
seem
a
lot
more
seamless.
I
We've
just
got
to
try
to
break
it
up,
because
it's
such
a
huge
beast
to
tackle
that,
even
though
they're
all
interrelated,
it
would
take
hours
to
go
through
the
interrelational
concepts
with
a
group
of
people,
so
kind
of
breaking
it
out
biting
off
small
chunks
that
are,
in
the
end,
are
going
to
be
a
whole
plan.
G
And
laura,
if
I
could
just
add
to
this,
if
it
wasn't
clear
enough,
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
as
we've
always
been
saying
from
the
very
get
goes,
we're
looking
for
a
very
strategic,
focused
plan
that
meets
our
goals,
that
we
can
find
funding
for
that.
You
know
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
more
focused,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
all
the
work
that
has
gone
into
all
the
solutions
that
have
been
proposed
will
be
forgotten
and
left
behind.
G
You
know,
I
think
the
intention
is
to
still
include
those
additional
solutions
and
strategies
and
an
appendix
of
the
plan
so
that
you
know,
if
you
want
to
re,
I
mean
you're
going
to
have
the
basic
plan,
which
you
know
folks
can
read
and
see
what
the
the
main
strategy
will
be.
But
if
you
want
to
get
into
the
details,
there's
gonna
be
lots
of
accessory
stuff
attached
to
the
back
of
the
plan.
I
Right
and
those,
and
that
all
of
those
strategies
that
are
attached
to
the
back
of
the
plan
are
going
to
also
have
who
can
help
us
implement
this,
and
when
that
organization
is
ready
to
pick
it
up
or
wants
to
run
with
it,
then
we
will
definitely
work
with
them
to
do
that.
But
the
main
strategies
that
we're
going
to
focus
on
are
the
ones
that
we
can
really
tackle
right
now
to
reduce
carbon.
E
Is
is
soil
carbon
sequestration
being
considered
seriously.
I
I
I
don't
know
yet,
because
we
don't
actually
get
to
make
those
decisions.
This
is
a
community
plan,
so
it's
it
when
it
falls
out
with
when
the
consultants
do
the
analysis,
all
they're
going
to
hand
us
is
the
data
and
then
that
particular
topical
work
group
is
the
one
that's
going
to
determine
that.
So
we
don't
know,
what's
what's
going
to
come
out
of
it
any
more
than
anyone
else
does
at
this
point
and
that's
kind
of
why,
how
we're
working
towards
equity
and
making
sure
that
the
right
folks
are
at
the
table.
C
J
Yeah
thanks
laura
yeah.
I
threw
it
in
the
in
the
chat
there
and
just
kind
of
connecting
with
what
michael
kelly
was
arguing
is.
Is
there
any
special
concern
here
about
what
michael
is
identifying
with
with
the
bike
lanes
as
far
as
just
kind
of
the
whole
process
for
the
climate
plan,
because
that
the
public
input
is
going
to
be
important
more
than
just
for
the
initial
stakeholder
stuff,
but
well
beyond
to
make
sure
neighborhoods
accept
these?
You
know
infrastructure
changes
that
are
going
to
be
coming
down.
The
road
here.
C
Definitely
yeah,
I
definitely
agree
with
don
and
I'll
just
add.
I
think
that,
even
even
beyond
just
trying
to
engage,
I
think
that
there's
a
big
opportunity
here
for
for
community
education.
I
think
that
the
benefit
of
the
work
that
laura
and
andy
have
been
doing
is
that
people
are
are
understanding.
C
I
think,
kind
of
the
the
interconnectedness
of
all
of
these
efforts
as
part
of
our
broader
sustainability
efforts,
and
I
think
that
making
that
connection
clear
is
is
part
of
what
will
help
to
ensure
that
neighborhoods
are
not
only
asking
the
right
questions,
but
also
seeing
where
they
can.
They
can
work
with
the
city
to
find
solutions
that
work
for
everyone.
I
Correct
and
and
don
part
of
it
is
why,
as
the
the
consultant
is
doing
analysis
on
the
strategy,
not
only
the
strategies
that
are
going
to
meet,
but
also
within
those
technical
work
groups
or
those
topical
sorry,
they're,
not
technical,
they're,
topical
area,
work
groups,
part
of
what
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
is
who
can
help
us
implement
this,
and
so
once
the
implementation
isn't
just
who's
going
to
actually
do
the
work.
I
It's
who's
going
to
help
us
do
the
outreach
who's
going
to
who's
going
to
reach
out
to
community
because
there's
we
won't
even
have
jerry
from
the
very
beginning
of
this
until
we
get
a
new
position
hired.
So
this
is
definitely
going
to
be
a
community
collaborative
process
going
forward
and
it's
not
something
that
we're
we're.
Just
gonna
go
okay,
we're
done
talking
with
community.
No
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
involve
community
in
any
policy
that
has
to
be
written
and
any
any
programs
that
you
know.
I
Or
building
performance
standards,
then
we're
going
to
have
a
whole
other
process
where
we're
going
to
have
to
meet
and
convene
the
folks
that
are
going
to
be
affected
by
that
and
get
their
input.
So
it's
we've
got
a
we've
got
an
end
goal,
but
you
know
the
plan
is
gonna.
Give
us
the
end
goal.
The
process
is
still
gonna,
be
long
and
painful,
and
just
like
any
other
process
to
get
things
done
and
in
collaborative
situations.
G
Yeah-
and
I
I
would
just
say
that
I
mean
just
my
participation-
I
had
the
pleasure
of
at
least
sitting
in
one
of
those
community
groups
just
talking
to
the
folks
I
mean
it
was
very,
and
I
appreciate
those
of
you
that
attended
some
of
these
sessions.
I
mean
really.
It
was
really
pretty
cool
to
see
folks
coming
together
from
different
parts
of
the
community.
Talking
about
different
concerns
solutions
strategies,
it
was
quite
a
learning
experience
for
for,
for,
I
think
everybody
that
was
there
and
what
was
funny
about
that
is.
G
I
saw
you
know
we
were
on
a
pretty
tight
timeline
to
get
through
those
meetings
and
what
I
saw
after
the
first
one.
You
know
we
we
shut
it
down.
You
know
we
were
hustling
through
the
presentation
and
getting
community
feedback,
and
then
it
seemed
like
there
was
a
lot
of
disappointment
in
the
room
like
what
that's
it
like
they
wanted
more,
and
they
wanted
to
keep
going
so
to
me
that
that
was
a
really
good
thing
to
see
that
from
the
community
and
and
seeing
people
that
I
didn't
normally
see.
G
Of
course,
you
know
we
saw
billy
billy
was
there
with
his
hat
everywhere
or
whatever.
That
was
great,
but
it's
great
to
see
people
you've
never
seen
before
as
well.
E
E
But
you're
not
going
to
see
anything
with
I'm.
I'm
posting
stamp
size
right
now,
but.
B
I
E
Well,
I'm
trying
to
show
you
bob
berkel
came
over
on
friday
and
we
decided
that
if
we
could
get
down
below
frost
line,
we
might
be
able
to
keep
the
johnson
sioux
composters
warm
enough
to
not
freeze.
E
So
it
wouldn't
be
a
lot
of
heat,
but
it
would
be
some
that
would
drift
up
through
the
pile
and
then
probably
blanket
them
in
between
so
we're
trying
to
take
steps
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we,
this
was
a
ditch
that
I
dug
out
next
to
my
house,
and
that
was
a
lot
of
fun.
That
was
my
that
was
my
birthday
present
to
myself
so
anyway,
and
then
a
couple
wednesdays
ago,
molly
brought
over
her
her
environmental
studies,
students.
E
E
Anyway,
we
went
over
to
kc
farm
school
and
we
built
three
johnson
sues
in
those
tote
kind
of
things
b.
Something
like
I
can't
remember
the
exact
name
of
the
of
the
kind
of
toad
it's
the
one
with
the
white
tote
and
they're,
the
they're
about
300
gallons,
and
so
we
built
three
of
them
in
the
greenhouse
and
and
I
got
to
talk
to
about
25
students.
E
And
then
then
we
made
them
the
the
students
and
they
seem
to
be
very
enthusiastic
about
the
whole
thing
so
and
then
we're
trying
to
build
one
in
a
dog
kennel,
the
one
of
the
a
four
foot
by
a
four
by
four
by
eight
foot
wire
enclosure
that
we
could
put
some
perhaps
bubble,
wrap
on
the
south
side
and
turn
it
into
a
kind
of
a
makeshift
greenhouse.
To
keep
that
that
warm
so
we're
moving
along.
It
seems
like
it's
not
going.
You
know.
E
The
enthusiasm
is
still
a
little
bit
on
the
lacking
side,
but
there
is
more
and
more
more
and
more
is
building
and
we're
reaching
out
to
people
in
down
near
springfield
and
near
st
louis
that
have
some
done
has
have
some
experience.
Doing
johnson
sues
in
a
colder
area
than
they
were
developed.
E
They
were
developed
in
las
cruces,
which
is
might
seem
cold.
It's
3
900
feet,
but
it's
sunshine
every
day
you
know,
and
mostly
the
skies
are
not
cloudy
all
day
so
anyway,
and
we're
continuing
to
meet.
We've
changed
our
meeting
time
till
thursday
at
10
o'clock
in
the
morning.
E
So
if
anybody
was
is
interested
in
coming
and
partaking
of
our
we're
really
just
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
do
more
than
just
johnson
sue
but
to
encourage
the
development
of
of
natural
soils
by
a
number
of
means-
and
I
don't
know
really
what
it
has
to
say.
E
Well,
that's
it!
I
mean
every
time
you
use
anything
on
the
soil.
You
are
disabling
the
carbon
sequestration
organisms,
the
ones
that
that
put
it
all
there
to
begin
with.
E
It
looks
like
a
lawn
or
it
looks
like
whatever
it
looks
like
and
people
are
s
are,
do
not
understand
what
what's
going
on
and
it's
very
difficult
to
communicate
because
it's
complicated
so
anyway,
so
I
I
don't
all
I
know
is
I
is,
is
when
I
get
young
people
together
and
I
can
talk,
I
there
there's
movement,
and
so
so,
if
anybody
would
like
a
johnson
sue
in
their
yard,
let
me
know-
and
I
will
probably
personally
build
it.
E
E
K
K
I
can
try
to
help
that
out.
Give
me
a
second.
E
K
Can
you
hear
me
now
yeah?
Oh
yes,
quite
well,
okay,
so
sarah
crowder
has
to
talk
about
beauty
or
she
has
to
talk
about
legacy.
E
Well,
I
don't
I
don't.
I
don't
see
anything
more
visceral
than
extinction.
K
But
that
tends
to
turn
people
off
when
it
I
in
in
a
very
kind
of
backwards
way.
Yeah.
K
Yeah,
so
you
know,
I
think
that
that
is
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
grappling
with
as
an
environmental
community
for
30
years
now
is
that
you
know
waving
our
hands
around
and
screaming
that
the
sky
is
falling,
just
hasn't
worked,
and
so
you
know
when
you're
recuperating
the
soil
and
when
this
is
going
to
be
producing
an
effect
to
create
more
pockets.
And
you
know,
as
you
said
from
your
other
lecture,
the
kind
of
bed
spring
molecules
that
are
going
to
sequester
water
and
carbon,
both
at
the
same
time.
E
The
degree
that
that
they
will
that
they
will
sit
still
for
it,
the
ones
that
come
out
do,
but
it's
the
it's,
the
the
deafening
horde,
the
ones,
the
ones
that
do
not
respond
to
me
in
any
manner.
E
You
know
I
put
those
videos
out
to
almost
100
different
people
who
are
on
jerry's
list
and
I
got
hardly
maybe
none
one
or
two
people
who
took
it
seriously.
There's
a
learning
curve
here.
It's
not
it's
not
easy,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
easier
than
extinction.
E
K
K
D
K
Talk
about
gardens
native
plants,
long-term
fertility
that
won't
require
that
can
bend
the
cost
curve
of
their
yard
maintenance.
So
if
you're
talking
about
a
fertile
soil
that
is
naturally
a
little
bit
more
pest
protected
because
of
some
of
the
the
types
of
things
that
you're
doing
the.
K
It
seems
to
me
that
the
conversation
that
we're
having
here
in
the
conversation
about
soil
cover
and
bio-positive
feedback
loops
in
terms
of
native
species
could
potentially
go
hand
in
hand.
K
So
you've
got
people
who
are
interested
in
using
and
appreciating
their
soil
for
a
natural
life
giver
that
it
already
is,
and
if
they
think
that
the
only
way
to
have
a
proper,
respectable
yard
is
to
deplete
it
and
kick
it
with
as
much
chemical
as
they
can.
Then
you
know
you
need
to.
Potentially.
I
think
that
a
a
positive
avenue
would
be
to
look
into
the
folks
who
are
moving
in
the
opposite
direction
and
talk
to
them
in
a
language
that
they
understand
that
they
might
find
motivating.
A
Well,
one
of
the
things
that
has
come
up,
and
maybe
we
could
let
andy
speak
to
this
in
his
oeq
report
is
there
has
been
a
little
movement.
I
would
say
what
fair
to
say,
discussion
andy
about
the
city's
approach
to
enforcement
of
the
weed
ordinance.
A
E
I
could
speak
a
piece
of
that:
the
city,
the
assistant
city
manager
and
the
guy
from
the
mayor's
office.
E
And
the
head
of
codes
came,
and
I
had
a
picture
taken
with
the
head
of
codes
right
in
front
of
my
urban
wilderness
and
and
so
there
there
was
talk
that
this
will
happen,
but
I
will
believe
that
when
I'm
involved
in
the
conversations-
and
I
haven't
been
since
that
time,
so
that
was
almost
a
month,
did
I
report
on
that
last
time?
E
A
D
Yes,
yes,
yes!
Well,
I
wanted
to
remind
marty
that
we
had
an
hour
long,
our
weekly
zoom
group,
about
bioreactors.
We
had
a
hour-long
conversation
with
a
lawn
care
specialist
out
in
ontario
canada,
who
was
very
gay,
very
good
advice
about
how
to
go
about
selling
this
to
more
for
more
adoption,
and
we
we
certainly
are
keeping
that
in
mind
and
in
particular
he
suggested
that
we
get
a
get
on
a
that.
D
A
G
Sure,
okay,
I
guess
I
will
start
with
that
natural
landscaping
issue,
so
there
was,
of
course
several
this
was.
I
don't
know
how
far
back
it
started-
maria
well
for
you
decades
ago,
but
I
think
with
dennis
you
know
the
star
editorial
and
other
other
things
that
kind
of
caught
the
eye
of
the
city.
G
There
was
a
variety
of
folks
that,
of
course,
met
with
marty.
Maurice
from
the
mayor's
office
was
out
there.
I
know
melissa,
one
of
our
assistant
city
managers
met
with
marty,
and
what
what
I
reached
out
to
them
back
about
two
months
ago
is
hey.
You
know
we're
hearing
all
kinds
of
concerns,
issues
in
relation
to
our
nuisance
code
and
how
that
is
not
necessarily
conducive
to
natural
landscaping
and
in
the
sense
that
how
that
would
be
supportive
of
our
climate
action
goals.
G
So
is
there
any?
Is
there
any
appetite
within
the
neighborhoods
department
to
revisit
the
nuisance
code,
to
be
a
little
bit
more
amenable
to
these
types
of
solutions,
and,
to
my
surprise,
yes,
they
they
thought
it
was
probably
time
to
do
so.
I
would
have
to
say
that
marty.
It
was
very
influential
in
changing
some
minds
that
from
what
I'm
hearing
on
the
inside,
so
I'm
already
keep
up
the
good
work
there.
E
G
G
No,
I'm
gonna
give
it
to
you,
because
I
know
you
need
to
hear
this
and
it
to
know
that
you
know
what
you're
saying
it
doesn't
fall
in
deaf
ears
within
city
within
the
city
government.
You
know
we
have
good
people
here,
they're
trying
to
do
what
they
do
with
the
ordinances
and
the
codes
that
we've
got.
G
So
what
I
was
asked
to
do
by
melissa,
which
is
the
assistant
city
manager,
was
to
put
together
a
presentation
for
neighborhoods
to
start
the
conversation
on
natural
landscaping,
and
so
I
went
ahead
and
put
something
together
for
them
and
it
got
delayed
a
week
just
because
my
own
personal
schedule
got
kind
of
in
the
way,
but
gave
a
presentation
to
them.
Yesterday
now
I
will
say
that
neighborhoods
is
going
through
a
transition,
so
neighborhoods
has
a
new
director,
so
forest
decker
is
now
the
new
director
for
neighborhoods
and
neighborhoods.
G
If
you
hadn't
caught
it
before
neighborhoods
and
housing
split
apart,
so
housing
is
its
own
department.
Now
and
neighborhoods
is
its
own
department,
so
forest
decker
was
promoted
to
director
of
of
neighborhoods
and,
of
course,
several
of
you
that
may
know
for
us
know
he's
an
environmental
guy
at
heart.
You
know
and-
and
you
know
I
think,
he's
very
much
in
favor
as
well
as
the
the
assistant
city
manager.
I
think
the
vision
for
neighborhoods
is
to
become
more.
I
guess
less
punitive.
G
You
know
to
try
to
find
ways
to
work
with
the
neighborhoods
to
be
a
little
less
harsh
on
these
codes
and
I
think,
they're
willing
to
start
with
a
nuisance
code.
So
we
looked
at
specifically
what
that
code
says.
I
identified
the
definitions
and
then
basically
explained
to
them.
Probably
just
like
marty
did.
What
are
the
benefits
of
the
this
type
of?
You
know
natives
and
natural
landscaping.
You
know
what
are
the
benefits
to
the
community?
G
What's
the
benefits
to
the
climate,
you
know
the
whole
range
of
things
that
you
get
out
of
that
and
you
know
from
their
perspective,
what
they're
interested
in
is
you
know?
What
is
that?
What
does
that
code?
Look
like
you
know.
How
do
we
do
that?
So
myself
and
I
had
some
help
from
staff
we,
we
kind
of
surveyed
the
codes
that
are
out
there
across
the
country
to
kind
of
see
what
was
available
out
there
as
options
just
to
see.
If
I
could
lead
them
to
something
to
something
to
consider.
G
You
know
and
kind
of
show
them
that
there
are
changes
being
made
across
the
country.
You
know
whether
it's
madison
wisconsin
to
fort
collins
there's
examples
around
the
country
that
we
could
easily
draw
from
about
how
they're
moving
away
from
your
standard
nuisance
codes,
which
you
know
started
out
decades
ago,
for
maybe
a
specific
reasoning
related
to
agriculture
but
have
been
used.
You
know,
for
maybe
the
wrong
reasons
on
you
know
residential.
G
So
it's
it's.
It
really
was
a
push
away
from
nature,
so
made
made
the
presentation
I
think
maurice
was
involved.
So
we
had
the
mayor's
office.
I
had
neighborhoods
forest
was
involved,
there's
a
new
deputy
director
for
neighborhoods.
Now
that's
delana
taylor,
so
she
was
sitting
in
on
this
as
well
and
we
had
terrell.
I
think,
he's
the
code
enforcement
guy
that
you
might
have
mentioned
marty.
G
G
So
you
know
here's
the
thing
you
know
with
that
marty
comes,
you
know.
We
need
a
sense
of
collaboration
and
negotiation,
so
you
know
you've
got
decades
of
a
head
start
on
the
city
on
this
issue,
all
right,
so
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
they
want
to
be
amenable
to
change.
You
know
what
what
does
that
look
like
that
meets
the
needs
for
the
whole
community
as
a
whole,
so
there
may
be.
G
You
know
we'll
start
somewhere
with
that
conversation
and
we'll
see
where
the
negotiations
go,
but
I
think
you'll
have
an
opportunity
and
others
to
have
some
say
in
what
what,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
that
code
becomes.
So
I'm
very
optimistic
about
it.
You
know
the
way
things
are
with
the
city.
You
got
to
be
a
little
bit
patient,
we're
we're
we're
still
short
staffed
city-wide.
We
are
still
way
under
staffed,
and
this
is
the
problem
throughout
the
organization,
as
people
like
jerry
are
bailing
on
us
left
and
right.
So
you.
G
The
downside
to
that
is,
is
we're
not
able
to
refill
the
positions
as
quickly.
You
know,
there's
an
administrative
bureaucracy.
We
have
to
go
through
and
be
honest
with
you
we're
struggling
to
find
people
to
come
work
for
the
city.
You
know
so
it's
it's
be
it's
quite
systemic
and
it's
a
challenge,
but
the
the
will
is
there.
I've
got
the
opera
management
support,
so
we
broke
up
after
the
meeting
was
over.
We
we
have
different
tasks.
G
They
were
very
much
supportive.
I
think,
of
moving
to
something
different
than
what
we
have
their
concern,
of
course
is
that
they
they
want
the
community.
To
think
I
mean
that
you
may
not
get
everything
you
want.
You
know,
there's
got
to
be
some
wiggle
room
for
consideration
about
public
safety,
about
the
environment.
G
G
You
know
best
management
practices
if
we
want
to
call
them
that
so
signage
getting
the
word
out,
educating
the
community
about
the
benefits
of
natural
landscaping
and
that's
the
term
that
we're
using
right
now
but
anyways.
I
don't
want
to
go
too
much
longer.
I've
got
a
few
other
things,
but
I'd
say
it's
a
good
start.
G
All
right
any
questions
about
that
before
I
move
on
to
other
topics.
G
Okay,
all
right
I'll
start
at
the
top
of
my
list.
Then.
First
and
foremost,
I
would
like
to
remind
everybody
that
this
is
jerry's
last
official
emc
meeting
as
a
employee
of
the
city
so
want
to
just
put
it
on
your
calendar.
If
you
haven't
already
seen
the
invitation
yet
all
right,
it's
going
to
be
okay
november
30th
we're
going
to
have
a
reception
for
jerry
at
12,
30
at
city
hall.
So
we'll
have
some
light
refreshments
and
cake
or
whatever
and
rachel
are
we
have
we
sent
out
invitations?
Yet?
A
I
haven't
sent
them
out,
but
jerry's
creating
a
list
for
me
and
we'll
get
those
out
very
soon.
G
Okay,
so
you
you
know
you
folks,
here
on
this
meeting,
you
can
get
the
get
the
first
dibs
november
30th,
so
that's
at
12
30.,
so
you
want
to
get
that
on
your
calendar
hold
the
day.
We
certainly
encourage
you
to
come
on
down
to
city
hall
and
visit
with
us
for
a
little
bit
to
honor
everything
jerry's
done
for
the
city,
so
I
can
certainly
attest
that
we'll
miss
him
here,
he's
been
a
great
asset
and
you
know
I
certainly
appreciate
everything.
A
G
Okay,
so
sort
of
related
to
administrative
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
staffing.
As
you
all
know,
rachel
here
is
our
administrative
assistant,
but
I
will
have
to
say:
she's
not
going
to
be
our
administrative
assistant
much
longer
so
she's
done
a
great
job
in
that
capacity.
G
So
you
know
with
that
I'd
like
to
kind
of
formally
announce
that
we
have
promoted
rachel.
So
she
is,
if
you
don't
know,
rachel
actually
has
an
environmental
degree,
and
is
it
was
a
we.
We
grabbed
her
from
the
water
lab
as
a
chemist,
so
she
she
took
a
chance
on
us
to
come
work
for
us
as
an
administrative
assistant.
G
So
she's
done
a
great
job
over
the
past.
What
it's
been
a
year
and
a
half
two
years,
it's
been
a
blur
with
covid,
but
we
had
the
opportunity
to
fill
a
entry-level
environmental
position,
and
so
I'd
like
to
congratulate
rachel,
we're
going
to
promote
her
to
an
environmental
officer
position.
So.
H
I
G
G
Okay,
we've
already
talked
about
the
climate
protection
resilience
plan.
I
would
just
say
stress
that
this
has
really
been
an
all
hands
on
deck
kind
of
project.
At
this
point
we've
been
dealing
with
the
community.
I
know
laura's
got
her
hands
full
we're
all
trying
to
shield
her
protect
her
from
other
things,
coming
our
way
that
come
from
all
different
directions,
but
they're
also
participating
in
the
process.
G
Our
analyst
has
been
out
in
the
field
at
this
community
engagement
rachel's
been
out
there,
jerry
myself,
we're
all
getting
involved
in
this,
as
we
carry
a
little
bit
more
of
the
weight
than
brendell
in
these
particular
meetings.
So
anyways
it's
been
fun
and
we
still
still
have
a
ways
to
go,
but
we're
looking
we're,
certainly
looking
forward
to
getting
to
the
final
product,
so
all
right,
a
couple
updates
on
some
other
projects,
the
led
streetlight
conversion
project.
It's
still
on
the
table.
G
We
haven't
forgotten
about
it
bids
we
received
bids
on
that
back.
What's
it
been
two
months
now,
the
selection
committee
is
still
reviewing
the
bids.
We've
done,
there's
been
some
financial
analysis
done
on
it,
but
we
as
a
selection
committee,
have
not
been
able
to
find
a
time
to
get
together
to
make
the
actual
selections.
G
So
I
know
the
city
manager
is
really
eager
to
get
moving
on
that
project
and
at
least
get
the
pilot
project
up
and
and
going
both
in
the
northland
and
south
south
of
the
river.
So
it's
just
taking
a
little
longer
than
we'd
like
to
just
coordinate
those
efforts
with
the
selection
committee.
We've
got.
People
in
various
departments
are
involved
with
that,
so
you
may
have
heard
just
if
you
haven't
heard
about
the
the
solar
array
project
at
the
airport,
we
are
moving
forward
with
a
feasibility
study
on
that.
G
I'm
going
to
kind
of
show
you
real
quick
here.
If
I
can
share
my
screen,
if
I
can
find
it
here,
we
go
so
this
is
kind
of
what
hopefully,
when
you
see
it,
you'll
see
what
we're
talking
about.
So
this
is
kind
of
the
proposal.
At
this
point
it's
you
know.
We've
got
around
two
thousand
three
thousand
acres
that
you
know
we're
looking
at
the
feasibility
of
how
much
of
that
around
the
airport
we
can
use.
G
So
this
is
a
concept
of
what
we're
looking
at,
trying
to
put
in
a
solar
ray
system
that
somewhere
in
the
order
of
maybe
200
megawatts
to
300
megawatts
in
capacity.
So
lots
of
hurdles
to
to
to
getting
this
to
the
end
point
you
know
looking
at
probably
two
or
three
years,
if
everything
is
feasible,
we
get
through
all
the
negotiations
with
evergy
and
you
know
all
the
other
partners.
They
need
to
be
involved
in
this
project,
but
just
thought
you
might
want
to
see
what
the
current
rendering
is
of
what
we're.
G
Energy
code,
so,
regarding
the
energy
code,
we
met
with
councilman
boo
earlier
today
and
city
planning,
and
it
looks
like
we:
we've
been
tasked
with
going
ahead
and
putting
together
an
ordinance
for
consideration
in
in
adopting
the
21
iecc
energy
code,
so
stay
tuned.
I
think
we're
shooting
for
a
introduction
to
council
sometime
in
mid-december,
so
where
we
we
talked
about
the
pros
and
cons.
G
We're
also
considering
some
strengthening
amendments
in
that
code
to
include
being
ev
ready
for
you
know
residential
as
well
as
solar
ready
on
residential.
So
you
know-
and
I
think
on
those
strengthening
amendments-
there's
some
compromise
in
terms
of
you
know
running
more
running
conduit
than
running
the
elect
the
actual
electrical.
So
you
can
kind
of
keep
your
costs
down
a
little
bit
and
if
you're
just
running
the
pathway
and
the
conduit
to
to
to
make
that
happen
so
anyways,
it's
just
the
start.
G
I'll
keep
you
posted
on
that,
but
that
seems
to
be
moving
it
forward
in
a
good
direction.
Downside
is
greg.
Franzen
is
retiring
as
the
building
official
from
the
city.
He
is
obviously
the
most
experienced
in
in
moving
city
codes
forward
through
the
process,
so
to
some
extent
he
retires
at
the
end
of
the
month
as
well.
G
So
jeff
lee
will
be
kind
of
helping
to
take
over,
but
he'll
also
be
working
with
the
director
of
city
planning
and
myself
to
kind
of
help
shepherd
this
along
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
So
anyways,
that's
the
energy
code.
G
Let's
see
here,
I
did
want
to
make
a
mention.
This
is
one
of
these
subcommittees.
The
lead
lead
committee.
The
city
has
a
lead
standards
committee
and
joe
nichols
was
the
emc
representative
on
that
committee.
G
I'm
not
sure
if
you
know
this
yet
or
not,
but
joe
is
resigning
from
the
commission,
so
he
will
no
longer
be
participating
and
therefore
the
commission
will
need
to
find
a
representative
to
participate
on
the
lead
standards
committee.
The
lead
standards
committee
are
primarily
city.
Employees
from
various
departments
usually
includes
one
council
member
and
then
the
emc
gets
one
member
on
the
at
at
the
table.
G
So
at
some
point
the
commission
might
want
to
consider
a
representative
to
to
sit
at
the
table
on
lead
standards
that
particular
community.
We
meet
quarterly
and
it
had
taken
a
couple
years
sabbatical.
G
G
I
will
have
to
say
that
this
one
is
going
to
be
a
little
crazy.
We
have
a
new
city
manager,
sort
of
a
fairly
new
council.
G
Things
are
not
have
not
been
the
norm
so
far,
so
I
would
just
encourage
the
emc
to
kind
of,
if
you're
interested
in
influencing
how
the
city
directs
its
dollars
in
the
budget.
I
would
certainly
encourage
you
to
kind
of
pay
attention
to
the
opportunities
that
will
come
about
to
comment
on
the
budget.
G
Also
keep
your
eyes
open
for
structural
changes
in
the
organization
and
the
effects
that
that
might
have,
overall
on
on
whether
it's
the
environmental
or
sustainability
efforts
of
the
city.
So
just
it's
it's
moving
fast
and
furious,
so
pay
attention.
G
Differences
one,
it's
you
know
the
the
process
internally
for
how
we
submit
our
budget
requests.
You
know
we
were
already.
We
were
told
straight
out,
you
know,
go
for
zero
budget.
You
know,
basically
not
don't
ask
for
anything
more.
You
know
the
city
is
doing.
I
would
say:
okay,
it's
it.
They've
done
some
financial
analysis.
G
We
seem
to
be
coming
out
of
the
budget
shortfall
from
covid,
but
it's
not
very
strong.
I
mean
it's
just
minimally,
better,
so
they're
very
reluctant
to
take
on
any
big
spending
projects
or
anything
of
that
nature.
G
G
So
oeq
has
about
a
million
dollar
budget
and
that's
primarily
staff,
and
so
it's
you
know
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
extra
dollars
towards
for
contracting
and
other
services,
but
we
actually
had
to
go
through
and
justify
every
one
of
those
line
accounts
and
as
to
why
I
still
need
that
money,
because
otherwise
they
would
just
sweep
it
away
from
us.
So
I
I
can't
really
get
into
any
more
structural
changes
to
the
organization.
At
this
point
I,
I
would
just
say
just
stay
tuned.
A
A
Yes,
they
were,
they
were
then,
let's
have
remarks
from
visitors.
Please.
A
Yeah
is
there,
is
there
any
more
from
any
commissioners
anything
you
want
us
to
consider
for
next
month
or
anything
that
you
any
burning
thought
you
have.
A
We've
discussed
it
we're
kind
of
waiting
for
a
signal
from
the
city.
I
guess
and.
G
Well,
I
was
going
to
say
a
matter
of
fact.
You
know.
Obviously
the
the
mayor's
order
has
expired
more
or
less
for
the
public,
the
city
internal,
our
facilities.
There
will
be
some
changes
to
kind
of
match
up
with
that,
probably
announced
by
friday
or
so
so.
Yes,
it's
probably
worth
considering
you
know,
maybe
for
next
month.
If
the
commission
wanted
to
do
that-
and
I
think
what
I
suggested
carol
is.
G
We
could
certainly
pull
the
commission
to
see
the
comfort
level
of
the
commissioners
meeting
in
person
versus
virtual
and
I'm
also
we're
trying
to
we're
trying
to
figure
out
a
room,
maybe
in
city
hall,
that
is
set
up
for
both
where
we
can
do
virtual
and
in-person
just
to
see
if
we
can
make
something
like
that
happen.
G
A
I
wondered
what
jackson
county's
current
requirements
are.
They
still
have
a
mandate
correct.
J
Yeah
yeah
yeah,
I'm
sorry
for
the
length
on
this
thing,
but
it
was
just.
I
want
to
make
sure
I
got
the
thoughts
here,
but
I
guess
there's
this
area
in
and
I
I'm
not
exactly
sure
how
much
wildlife
there
is
or
this
wildlife
habitat.
But
it's
a
it
looks
like
a
huge
project,
and
it's
kind
of
one
of
these
ongoing
concerns
that
that
we've
had
in
sierra
club
is
what
what
kind
of
how?
J
How
do
we
get
a
handle
on
this
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
just
leveling
lots
of
trees.
We're
when
we're
trying
to
talk
about
you
know
insuring
the
canopy
around
the
city
as
well
is:
is
there
is
there
what-
and
I
guess
my
question
is
just
what
are
the
opportunities
for
city
staff
and
the
emc,
and
I
guess
I
chopped
off
my
question
there
for
public
comment
for
for
directing
these
kinds
of
issues
here,
to
make
sure
that
these
kind
of
considerations
are
made
in
these.
In
these
development
projects,.
J
G
So
I
guess
I
can
take
a
a
a
crack
at
it.
You
know,
I
think
you
know
we
wouldn't.
First
off,
you
always
have
access
to
council,
so
you
know
you
can
go.
You
know,
share
your
grievance
concerns
with
council
members
about
that,
particularly
wherever
that
project
might
be
in
that
particular
district.
I'm
not.
You
know
not
an
expert
on
the
development
side
of
things,
but
I
I
would
definitely
what
we
could
do
is
reach
out
to
jeff
williams,
the
director
of
city
planning,
and
you
know,
pose
that
question.
G
As
to
you
know,
what
is
the
best
avenue
for
us
to
you
know,
address
those
kinds
of
concerns,
and
the
other
part
of
is
that
resolution
that
we
passed
last
week.
I
think,
does
have
some
language
in
there
that
we
could
reference
and
that's
part
of
it
is
that
we're
going
to
need
to
share
that
with
our
city
departments.
To
kind
of
you
know
bring
it
to
their
attention
that
they
do
need
to
consider.
G
You
know
projects,
programs
of
the
city
and
how
that
affects
the
climate
protection
you
plan,
so
we
need
to
kind
of
bridge
that
together
somehow
and
educate
internally.
You
know,
because
I
think
folks
of
some
folks
are,
you
know,
still
around
from
2008
and
they
they
sort
of
know
of
that
plan.
They
know
we're
going
through
a
new
planning
process,
but
clearly,
at
some
point,
there's
going
to
be
some
internal
education
on
what
are
what
are
we
looking
for
city
staff
to
do
across
the
board?
G
You
know
so
when
these
kinds
of
projects
come
up,
there's
some
type
of
you
know
consideration
for
the
environment.
So
I
had
you
know
right
now.
I
don't
have
a
clear
answer
for
you
don,
but
I'm
fine
to
carry
a
question
forward
to
you
know
our
director
for
for
for
the
code
city
planning
codes
and
see
what
their
response
is
to
see.
What
would
be
the
best
thing
to
do.
J
It
just
seems
that
once
it
gets,
you
know,
gets
this
notice
in
the
press
that
pretty
much
the
the
horse
is
out
of
the
barn.
At
that
point,
I
would
think-
and
so
it's
hard
to,
I
would
think
it'd
be
hard
for
now
to
have
any
sort
of
meaningful
input
on
on
this
kind
of
issue.
So
it's
it
comes
back
to
what
the
kind
of
the
internal
processes
of
the
city
hall,
I
would
think,
but
yeah
and.
G
A
The
notice
requirement,
though,
is
going
to
be
mostly
adjacent
to
the
property
it's
going
to
be
in
that
same
vicinity.
It
might
be
useful
to
also,
in
addition
to
looking
at
the
resolution,
that's
recently
been
passed
to
kind
of
highlight
the
stream
setback
and
the
tree
planning
and
the
different
requirements
that
are
on
the
books.
A
A
parcel
that
size
surely
has
some
drainage,
surely
has
some
areas
that
would
be
subject
to
some
of
those
other
ordinances,
but
it
might
just
be
good
to
do
a
little
survey
of
the
ordinances
that
might
apply
in
general
and
just
send
a
reminder.
J
Yeah
and
again-
and
I
guess
they're
getting-
you
know
the
tax,
some
of
the
a
substantial
tax
abatement
as
well
with
all
this
project
too,
and
that
there
ought
to
be
some
if
you're
getting
that
kind
of
thing
you
ought
to
get
some.
There
will
be
some
inducements
here
to
make
sure
that
there's
environmental
concerns
that
are
met
with
such
a
project.
I
would
hope,
but.
K
So
don,
I
can
actually
speak
a
little
bit
to
that.
There
is
the
scorecard
kc
revision
process,
that's
happening
right
now
and
that
is
being
taken,
care
of
and
managed
by
a
woman
in
city
staff
named
carrie
tyndall
and
I
was
put
in
touch
with
her
by
council
person,
melissa,
robinson
and
so
they're
actually
going
through
focus
groups
and
comment
periods
right
now
about
this
very
topic
and
and
what
projects
receive,
what
percentage
of
support
and
and
how
those
are
evaluated.
K
In
the
first
place,
based
off
of
the
conversation
that
was
had
before
the
that
focus
group,
you
know
they
do
have
set
values
that
they're
trying
to
incorporate,
including
public
health,
including
serving
primarily
marginalized
communities
and
historically
neglected
communities.
K
G
So
I
might
add
to
that
because
ben
reminded
me
about
it's,
it's
called
advanced
kc
and
it's
interesting
that
you
brought
that
up,
because
you
did
remind
me
of
that
that
last
week,
during
the
business
session,
kerry
tyndall
gave
an
update
on
advanced
kc
to
council
and
she
kind
of
got
caught
off
guard
because
it
was
right.
I
think,
right
after
we
gave
our
climate
resolution
testimony
and
was
passing
that
through
committee,
when
sure
enough,
it
was
fresh
in
their
mind.
Oh
what
about
the
environment?
G
You
I
didn't
know
about
abandons
kc
until
maybe
maybe
about
a
month
ago
and
carrie,
and
I
have
not
talked
about
the
scorecard
in
any
detail.
So
to
me
it
seems,
and
she
was
directed
by
it
might
have
been
robinson.
It
might
have
been
others
to
engage
with
stakeholders,
particularly
on
the
environmental
side.
Regards
to
that
scorecard.
G
J
K
So
when
we're
talking
about
you
know,
potentially
rain
gardens,
green
infrastructure,
right-of-way
measurements
for
tree
canopy,
even
potentially
energy
efficiency
standards
for
these
areas
and
for
new
developments
and
then
ways
to
align
that
with
the
areas
of
most
need.
