14:23 ↗ panelist now so you should see the

14:25 ↗ option to unmute and can choose to turn

14:27 ↗ your video on I un

14:30 ↗ sounds

14:31 ↗ good okay um my name is Larry Franks I

14:35 ↗ am a 52y year resident of the city of

14:38 ↗ isqua at

14:40 ↗ 24001 Southeast 103rd Street um I'm here

14:44 ↗ basically to praise the IAP um many of

14:48 ↗ you know my motives to be selfish my

14:51 ↗ approach to climate change is picking a

14:54 ↗ specific aspect of it and that is trying

14:56 ↗ to assure the survival of our salmon I

14:59 ↗ lawed the progress that the city is

15:01 ↗ making on the plan and urged the city to

15:03 ↗ consider to further drive down

15:06 ↗ greenhouse gas emissions one of the

15:08 ↗ specifics last year I took advantage of

15:11 ↗ a discount offered by a vendor at the

15:13 ↗ sustainability fair and spraying for a

15:16 ↗ heat heat pump that dropped my personal

15:19 ↗ greenhouse gas emissions significantly I

15:22 ↗ urged the city to offer more incentives

15:24 ↗ like this to engage more individuals in

15:27 ↗ the meantime keep up the canopy

15:29 ↗ protection protection especially over

15:31 ↗ our salmon bearing streams thanks for

15:34 ↗ the opportunity to share this thank you

15:36 ↗ very much Larry um do we have an in the

15:38 ↗ room sign up sheet we do and uh the next

15:42 ↗ speaker is Ann Fletcher on up

15:50 ↗ an IT great good evening I'm Anne

15:56 ↗ Fletcher a resident and affiliate ated

15:59 ↗ with the people for climate action the

16:01 ↗ isqua

16:03 ↗ chapter and of course my comments

16:05 ↗ tonight are about the midpoint check-in

16:07 ↗ on the

16:09 ↗ IAP when isqua's uh climate action plan

16:13 ↗ was approved originally by the city

16:16 ↗ council in December of 2021 can you

16:18 ↗ believe it's been that long um one city

16:21 ↗ councelor said that the plan was good

16:24 ↗ but the proof of the pudding would be in

16:25 ↗ getting it implemented and another city

16:28 ↗ councelor said said that they wanted the

16:30 ↗ community to hold them accountable to

16:32 ↗ that implementation so PCA is here today

16:36 ↗ taking this opportunity to say we want

16:39 ↗ the council to approve supportive

16:42 ↗ policies codes and budgetary resources

16:46 ↗ to ensure that the is isqua does its

16:49 ↗ part to avert the CL climate

16:53 ↗ crisis the midpoint checkup report shows

16:56 ↗ that the staff has been working

16:58 ↗ diligently to implement the IAP actions

17:01 ↗ with 85% completed or on track and at

17:05 ↗ the same time according to the report we

17:07 ↗ need to accelerate and do a lot of work

17:10 ↗ in quotes with priority actions in order

17:14 ↗ to reach our

17:15 ↗ targets So the plan implementation is

17:18 ↗ going to need to flex to prioritize time

17:22 ↗ and resources in interdepartmental

17:24 ↗ problem solving to see if we can get the

17:27 ↗ desired results

17:29 ↗ and get on track in these next two years

17:32 ↗ before its eval the fiveyear evaluation

17:36 ↗ comes in so some things that I think

17:39 ↗ that the council can do are to emphasize

17:42 ↗ buildings energy and

17:45 ↗ transportation because they are our

17:47 ↗ majority greenhouse gas emitters just as

17:51 ↗ as the report says areas that are less

17:54 ↗ impactful to our targets they need to

17:57 ↗ temporarily take a back seat unless

18:00 ↗ adequate resources are there to do

18:04 ↗ everything some new policies or

18:06 ↗ municiple codes may be needed for for

18:09 ↗ your

18:10 ↗ approval and then the second thing is

18:12 ↗ that ensure that the city has the human

18:15 ↗ resources to achieve these goals grants

18:19 ↗ and creative use of Consultants interns

18:21 ↗ Regional Community Partners they do

18:23 ↗ increase our capacity but they also take

18:26 ↗ sustainability staff time to manage

18:29 ↗ so when budget work is being done the

18:32 ↗ council should strive for Optimum

18:34 ↗ resources to improve our IAP

18:38 ↗ implementation and I have a few more

18:40 ↗ thoughts about how to be more

18:43 ↗ impactful one is buildings and energy

18:47 ↗ our largest greenhouse gas emitter

18:49 ↗ especially our existing buildings are a

18:52 ↗ tough tough nut to crack but if we could

18:55 ↗ prepare now for some important future

18:58 ↗ year actions that we have in the plan

19:01 ↗ like electrification Outreach incentives

19:03 ↗ and

19:04 ↗ benchmarking they may be the key to

19:07 ↗ better

19:08 ↗ progress then second transportation and

19:12 ↗ land use our second largest Greenhouse

19:16 ↗ emitter let's show how Public Works and

19:20 ↗ sustainability can best engage together

19:22 ↗ around climate related Transportation

19:25 ↗ Targets in both the IAP and the master

19:29 ↗ Mobility

19:31 ↗ plan Title 18 and 16 um pca's

19:36 ↗ understanding was that there are still

19:37 ↗ some climate related Title 18 revisions

19:39 ↗ that were deferred until the comp plan

19:42 ↗ was done and possibly maybe some more

19:45 ↗ title 16 building code

19:47 ↗ updates and last the city Administration

19:51 ↗ structures we have a wonderful staff a

19:54 ↗ wonderful City and wonderful

19:55 ↗ departments Portland Oregon met their

19:59 ↗ emission reduction targets 10 years ago

20:01 ↗ in part by prioritizing and

20:04 ↗ incorporating sustainability with the

20:06 ↗ other key departments through a

20:09 ↗ structured collaboration

20:12 ↗ design let's find more ways to in

20:15 ↗ integrate the IAP among the relevant

20:18 ↗ departments to get the strongest

20:20 ↗ initiatives and

20:22 ↗ Solutions climate issues are big

20:24 ↗ complicated and darn tough if they

20:27 ↗ weren't well people would have figured

20:30 ↗ out already how to resolve them so while

20:33 ↗ acknowledging our disappointment with

20:35 ↗ our early trajectory towards our targets

20:38 ↗ let's use this opportunity to renew our

20:41 ↗ efforts in all of the areas that I

20:43 ↗ talked about and this is very possible

20:45 ↗ to do the probability of it happening

20:48 ↗ though will depend on how people respond

20:50 ↗ to the messages and collaborate

20:54 ↗ boldly and if you want to can you come

20:57 ↗ just back for one second and talk about

20:59 ↗ an event just mention the date of an

21:01 ↗ event you're having that's coming up PCA

21:03 ↗ yes uh July 26 that's a Friday at 6 o'cl

21:07 ↗ in Confluence Park we have uh people for

21:10 ↗ climate action's fifth anniversary H I

21:13 ↗ can't believe it uh and um have Mary Lou

21:16 ↗ paully to thank for that idea to get us

21:18 ↗ started and um Mary Lou and Victoria who

21:22 ↗ spoke at that time are going to be here

21:25 ↗ uh going to come and speak at the event

21:28 ↗ and it's a it's a potluck pic picnic

21:30 ↗ you're all invited but elected people

21:32 ↗ don't have to bring any

21:33 ↗ food thank you Ann I think that's an

21:35 ↗ important comment just because we know

21:38 ↗ that the government can do some stuff

21:39 ↗ but we really we really have to get the

21:41 ↗ community to jump on board with us as

21:43 ↗ well thank you for planning that event

21:45 ↗ and let other people know about it

21:46 ↗ anyone that's interested can come thank

21:49 ↗ you um do we have anyone else signed up

21:52 ↗ to speak yes we have another virtual

21:55 ↗ caller caller uh with the number 206

21:59 ↗ 300 going to make you a panelist

22:03 ↗ now you should be able to I'm going to

22:05 ↗ go ahead and unmute you on my

22:10 ↗ end this is Steve we can hear you Steve

22:13 ↗ this is St can you hear me

22:16 ↗ okay yes sir we

22:19 ↗ can okay this is Steve P I've been

22:22 ↗ living in his about 16 years uh and want

22:26 ↗ to share a couple thoughts I'll keep you

22:28 ↗ all have you keep me honest honest on

22:30 ↗ the time clock so thank you for that in

22:32 ↗ advance uh a couple thoughts I wanted to

22:34 ↗ share one channeling my former isqua

22:38 ↗ Library board duties the library serve

22:41 ↗ as a good place to act as a cool inst

22:43 ↗ station for anybody who needs to act and

22:45 ↗ stay cool so just wanted toote the

22:47 ↗ library for that function uh second

22:50 ↗ item I recently listened to the

22:53 ↗ presentation on the

22:55 ↗ Metroflex past presentation and two

22:57 ↗ thoughts I wanted to share one was on

22:59 ↗ form and that's that I didn't hear as

23:02 ↗ the presentation as the presenter went

23:04 ↗ through the slides I didn't hear a lot

23:06 ↗ lot of the talk about what the numbers

23:08 ↗ and the data were they would have had to

23:10 ↗ be online watching the presentation to

23:13 ↗ get the data and the numbers I would

23:14 ↗ like to see since some of us

23:19 ↗ listen via phone but not watch the

23:21 ↗ presentation to talk more to the data

23:23 ↗ and the facts and I suppose that could

23:25 ↗ probably carry through any

23:26 ↗ presentation uh the second items were on

23:30 ↗ substance uh I would have likeed to see

23:32 ↗ more data specifically on the number of

23:35 ↗ rides that are used to get into and from

23:38 ↗ transit sites and what the cost of ride

23:41 ↗ share is per ride that's

23:44 ↗ provided uh third is a process

23:47 ↗ item when you go to the city council

23:49 ↗ meeting for a lot of the present lot of

23:51 ↗ the presentations there's a presentation

23:54 ↗ made and then public comment is provided

23:57 ↗ or opportun provided after city council

24:01 ↗ questions but when you go to

24:03 ↗ other City boarding commissions there's

24:06 ↗ not an opportunity to comment after the

24:08 ↗ presentation is made by staff and I'd

24:10 ↗ like to see that opportunity shared so

24:13 ↗ that people can have a better idea of

24:15 ↗ what to comment and how to focus their

24:17 ↗ comment and questions throughout the

24:18 ↗ life

24:20 ↗ cycle uh fourth item I guess is a few

24:25 ↗ times now I heard before city council

24:27 ↗ this section is called audience comments

24:30 ↗ instead of public comments I'd like to

24:32 ↗ see that change the audience is just

24:34 ↗ somebody who comes to watch what's

24:36 ↗ happening not participate in our

24:38 ↗ democracy and we're losing that chance

24:41 ↗ to participate in Democratic particip

24:44 ↗ participation by just having it segue

24:46 ↗ and narrowed

24:48 ↗ to uh audience comments for our

24:51 ↗ democracy to work people need to be

24:53 ↗ invited into the process and make

24:55 ↗ substantive comment and have that

24:57 ↗ comment

25:00 ↗ felt

25:01 ↗ is acted listen to and acted upon I'm

25:04 ↗ kind of becoming of the opinion that it

25:06 ↗ doesn't really matter what I have to say

25:08 ↗ or do because I'm just not against

25:12 ↗ comments it's it's a process space but

25:15 ↗ it's not really inviting people into the

25:17 ↗ Public

25:18 ↗ Square uh kind of going along with that

25:20 ↗ thought is the recent

25:23 ↗ change

25:24 ↗ in only allowing the public comment

25:27 ↗ period for

25:29 ↗ drug city council agenda items and I

25:32 ↗ would like to see that changed again for

25:35 ↗ our democracy to work democracy it's not

25:37 ↗ just matter who shows up to vote or to

25:39 ↗ vote for elected

25:41 ↗ representatives but it's the chance to

25:43 ↗ indate a requirement to engage in the

25:45 ↗ Public Square process we're eliminating

25:47 ↗ that Public Square where the members of

25:50 ↗ city council and the mayor can make

25:53 ↗ presentation after presentation

25:55 ↗ for uh things that you feel is important

25:59 ↗ that it robs us the citizens of the

26:01 ↗ agency because we don't have the same

26:04 ↗ agency that you do we have a lesser

26:06 ↗ agency to speak for our mind to engage

26:08 ↗ in Public Square to engage in Public

26:11 ↗ Square

26:14 ↗ uh I don't know how else to make that

26:17 ↗ case but the Public Square is being

26:19 ↗ narrowed

26:20 ↗ and government is for the few not for

26:24 ↗ the many it's something that gets done

26:27 ↗ or gets happened

26:30 ↗ so that whole process needs to change

26:33 ↗ I'm tired of toen at this horce and not

26:36 ↗ seeming to get anything made but if you

26:37 ↗ want to engage the public you need to

26:40 ↗ engage the process of what that

26:42 ↗ happens um I guess I'll take maybe my

26:45 ↗ last little bit of time talk about the

26:49 ↗ uh cleanhouse gas emissions I think city

26:52 ↗ has indeed committed some measurable

26:55 ↗ resources for this to happen but we need

26:56 ↗ to focus more on what we can do

26:59 ↗ legislatively and make

27:01 ↗ requirements uh to make meter greenhouse

27:04 ↗ gases it's not something the city can do

27:06 ↗ it's something I agree that the public

27:08 ↗ excuse me has got to be engaged in doing

27:11 ↗ so while I command command IAP and

27:15 ↗ citizen climate

27:17 ↗ action uh it's something legislative we

27:20 ↗ need to do to have better greenhouse gas

27:23 ↗ standards for building code and zoning

27:26 ↗ and preservation of our natural

27:28 ↗ resources

27:29 ↗ to mitigate those

27:32 ↗ resources I think I will end it there

27:34 ↗ thank you all for your time thank you

27:37 ↗ involed thank you Steve there was a lot

27:39 ↗ in there but I wonder if I can just get

27:40 ↗ our city clerk to do the answer the

27:42 ↗ audience comment public comment question

27:45 ↗ after we finish with this because I

27:46 ↗ believe that is that is a pretty easy

27:48 ↗ answer that we could give tonight is

27:50 ↗ there anybody else has as indicated a

27:53 ↗ desired speak

27:54 ↗ no Mr katler would you like to come

28:07 ↗ hit the button there thank you David

28:09 ↗ kapler 255 Southeast Andrew Street um on

28:14 ↗ the issue of

28:15 ↗ climate um when we got involved and I

28:18 ↗ got involved in the city uh we called it

28:20 ↗ global

28:21 ↗ warming and um it was the origin of the

28:25 ↗ villages the um the um Talis and Isel

28:30 ↗ Highlands were both came out of concern

28:33 ↗ about climate and how we could more

28:36 ↗ efficiently use the land and how we

28:39 ↗ could retain a lot of vegetation

28:42 ↗ protection for the creeks and all of

28:45 ↗ those same kinds of things our great

28:47 ↗ staff is working on now and in planning

28:50 ↗ and the rest but um

28:53 ↗ I'm thankful for the the leadership the

28:56 ↗ city has taken for decades now on this

28:59 ↗ topic and um I'm just amazed at the the

29:04 ↗ product that um staff has come up with

29:06 ↗ and the work they're putting into it and

29:10 ↗ the support they're getting from the

29:11 ↗ administration and the council so um

29:14 ↗ keep keep it up and hope I see you at

29:16 ↗ the picnic here near the end end of the

29:18 ↗ month thank you thank you very much

29:20 ↗ David is there anybody else online city

29:23 ↗ clerk that may want to come in

29:28 ↗ we do have one other member of the

29:30 ↗ public with us but I don't see they

29:31 ↗ indicating a desire to speak at this

29:33 ↗ time thank you I wonder if you could

29:35 ↗ take a minute and explain why during the

29:37 ↗ council meetings we have audience

29:39 ↗ comment versus public

29:44 ↗ comment uh it is in our Municipal Code

29:47 ↗ as one of the city council's order of

29:49 ↗ business and it's been the traditional

29:51 ↗ way we've referred to public comments

29:53 ↗ that are taken here but as we know

29:56 ↗ during our new hybrid meetings that

29:58 ↗ aren't so new anymore um that term

30:00 ↗ really encompasses anyone who's

30:02 ↗ physically here or with us virtually to

30:04 ↗ make comments and it is not restricted

30:06 ↗ um and also just uh um to clarify that

30:10 ↗ uh members of the public are able to

30:12 ↗ address the city council on any topic

30:15 ↗ provided it relates to a city program

30:17 ↗ project service or event so the comments

30:20 ↗ don't need to be restricted to an item

30:22 ↗ on the agenda thank you very much for

30:25 ↗ that clarification and thanks to

30:26 ↗ everyone who took time to join us

30:28 ↗ tonight we heard several community

30:30 ↗ members talk about this um Mid um time

30:34 ↗ mid period IAP review its impacts on

30:37 ↗ salmon and survivability progress we've

30:39 ↗ made to date and potential

30:41 ↗ acceleration and um gratitude for the

30:44 ↗ effort that um collectively the

30:46 ↗ administration and the council have put

30:48 ↗ on and the staff have put on this we

30:50 ↗ also had various comments on City

30:52 ↗ processes the ways the public can engage

30:55 ↗ um some questions on the Metroflex data

30:57 ↗ which put a note down that maybe there's

30:59 ↗ a uh we can follow up on that with um

31:01 ↗ answering some of the questions that

31:03 ↗ were mentioned here and I just

31:05 ↗ appreciate that you all spent this nice

38:28 ↗ whereby customers pray pay credit card

38:31 ↗ fees directly uh this was the most

38:33 ↗ transparent and most Fair because it

38:35 ↗ allowed uh people who wanted to pay with

38:37 ↗ cash or check to not have to pay the fee

38:40 ↗ this concludes my report thank you

38:42 ↗ Deputy council president D Michelle

38:44 ↗ thank you um on June the 25th East Side

43:37 ↗ informational update isqua climate

43:38 ↗ action plan midpoint check-in and I'd

43:41 ↗ like to invite sustainability manager

43:43 ↗ Stacy Vin mckinster to the P Podium

43:45 ↗ welcome

44:03 ↗ uh good evening mayor paully Deputy

44:05 ↗ Council B Michelle and members of the

44:08 ↗ council uh my name is Stacy V mckinstry

44:10 ↗ I'm the city sustainability manager and

44:12 ↗ I'm joined tonight by David REI our

44:14 ↗ sustainability coordinator and online by

44:17 ↗ Nick horn our Civics Park

44:21 ↗ fellow the isqua climate action plan

44:24 ↗ requires that we quote uh Council

44:27 ↗ conduct a midpoint review by June 30th

44:30 ↗ 2024 to ensure we are on track and

44:33 ↗ adjust the plan if

44:34 ↗ needed this check-in is intended to

44:37 ↗ fulfill the requirements of the IAP

44:39 ↗ today we're going to provide a detailed

44:41 ↗ summary of where we are with

44:42 ↗ implementing the IAP and talk about what

44:45 ↗ is next while only our sustainability

44:48 ↗ team is presenting tonight I do want to

44:50 ↗ note that this presentation is really

44:51 ↗ meant to represent the work across the

44:54 ↗ Departments that are helping support the

44:56 ↗ climate action plan

45:00 ↗ first tonight we're going to provide you

45:01 ↗ with a high Lev summary of how we are

45:04 ↗ doing we are then going to talk about

45:06 ↗ our promot our approach to

45:08 ↗ implementation of the IAP and the

45:10 ↗ progress that we're making on the 54

45:12 ↗ actions identified in the plan we won't

45:14 ↗ go through every single

45:15 ↗ action we want you to come away from

45:18 ↗ this presentation with an understanding

45:19 ↗ of some of the great projects and

45:21 ↗ programs that are underway we're then

45:24 ↗ going to zoom out and look at how our

45:27 ↗ actions within the plan are translating

45:29 ↗ to overall progress on the targets

45:31 ↗ identified in the IAP from there we'll

45:34 ↗ talk about our needs to accelerate

45:35 ↗ progress in our plan for implementation

45:37 ↗ over the coming

45:39 ↗ years before jumping into progress on

45:42 ↗ the plan we wanted to First provide a

45:44 ↗ brief refresher on um the IAP and a

45:47 ↗ recognition of this important plan the

45:50 ↗ IAP was the first climate action plan

45:52 ↗ developed by the city and adopted by

45:54 ↗ Council in December of 2021 there was a

45:57 ↗ 9-month process that took place um in

46:00 ↗ advance uh that really engaged the

46:02 ↗ community it was developed during Co and

46:05 ↗ ex and completely through virtual

46:07 ↗ engagements where staff and the

46:09 ↗ Consulting team undertook many Community

46:11 ↗ listening sessions held focus groups

46:14 ↗ with environmental groups and

46:16 ↗ businesses and work to really balance

46:18 ↗ the interest and needs of a variety of

46:21 ↗ voices from our community this plan is

46:23 ↗ really a great achievement for our city

46:26 ↗ and provides Direction for actions to be

46:28 ↗ taken to help us achieve The Bold and

46:30 ↗ ambitious

46:31 ↗ Target the actions within the plan

46:34 ↗ include programs policies and projects

46:37 ↗ that are intended to put us on a path to

46:38 ↗ reach our Target these actions cannot be

46:42 ↗ taken by one entity alone they are

46:44 ↗ really intended to call upon the city uh

46:46 ↗ our residents our businesses and the

46:48 ↗ Greater Community to take action and

46:51 ↗ make significant changes to both

46:53 ↗ operations and changing our behavior in

46:56 ↗ order to meet

46:58 ↗ Target the plan sets targets across a

47:01 ↗ variety of focus areas including targets

47:03 ↗ for greenhouse gas reductions Energy

47:06 ↗ Efficiency and waste div a few we have

47:10 ↗ some near-term timelines uh to track

47:13 ↗ progress towards those targets as well

47:15 ↗ as longer term timelines some that look

47:17 ↗ out as 25 years some of those programs

47:21 ↗ we're implementing to help with progress

47:24 ↗ towards targets will take time to get

47:26 ↗ under way an additional time to see the

47:29 ↗ results of those programs while we need

47:31 ↗ urgent action we also need to recognize

47:34 ↗ the complexity of this work that we are

47:36 ↗ undertaking and in some cases that time

47:38 ↗ is needed to see a shift in Behavior and

47:41 ↗ the

47:42 ↗ impact so first let's start with a brief

47:45 ↗ snapshot of how we are doing um and then

47:49 ↗ we are going to dive in deeper into each

47:51 ↗ of these areas so when it comes to the

47:54 ↗ actions within the IAP we are doing well

47:57 ↗ we have um a majority of our actions

48:00 ↗ that are underway or uh many that are

48:04 ↗ complete in terms of our targets we are

48:06 ↗ making progress towards some of these

48:08 ↗ targets for others our current progress

48:11 ↗ is not on track um to where we

48:13 ↗ anticipate we will meet

48:15 ↗ targets and finally we've secured a lot

48:18 ↗ of funding for some areas of

48:20 ↗ implementation but in some cases as

48:22 ↗ noted above that isn't necessarily

48:24 ↗ translating into progress across all

48:26 ↗ part

48:27 ↗ we are working to understand those

48:29 ↗ disconnects and where additional

48:32 ↗ investment we do anticipate we'll need

48:34 ↗ additional resources to improve the

48:36 ↗ areas that have the greatest impact

48:38 ↗ towards our

48:42 ↗ Target when I started in December of

48:45 ↗ 2021 I was provided this

48:47 ↗ community-driven plan that laid out a

48:48 ↗ road map for

48:50 ↗ implementation with minimal capacity and

48:52 ↗ resources the approach to implementation

48:55 ↗ centered around identifying where there

48:57 ↗ are already existing Partnerships in

48:59 ↗ place that we could really take

49:00 ↗ advantage of to develop or expand upon

49:03 ↗ programs and projects investing in

49:05 ↗ near-term actions that could provide us

49:07 ↗ with some quick wins and then also

49:10 ↗ looking at longer term actions where we

49:12 ↗ could take some initial steps to get

49:14 ↗ those programs in place and have greater

49:16 ↗ impact in the long run during the first

49:19 ↗ year we had a fairly small budget for

49:21 ↗ IAP implementation but we pursued

49:24 ↗ additional funds through uh Council

49:26 ↗ requests as as well as Grant

49:28 ↗ opportuni in year two we were able to

49:30 ↗ bring on additional staff student

49:32 ↗ interns and a fellow we have expanded

49:35 ↗ our work into Municipal operations and

49:38 ↗ invested in fostering relationships

49:40 ↗ across our departments and further

49:42 ↗ developing ownership for IAP

49:44 ↗ implementation

49:47 ↗ throughout let's turn to where we are

49:49 ↗ now um this is a brief snapshot of where

49:53 ↗ we are in terms of making progress on

49:55 ↗ overarching targets we will dig deeper

49:57 ↗ into the focus areas as well as project

49:59 ↗ and program examples in a

50:02 ↗ moment as with any data projects we are

50:05 ↗ dealing with a leg in data of

50:06 ↗ availability to measure our greenhouse

50:08 ↗ gas emissions we talked about this back

50:10 ↗ in January when we presented on our

50:13 ↗ emission

50:14 ↗ inventory our most recent inventory was

50:17 ↗ completed just this year and it looked

50:19 ↗ back at our 2022 emissions meaning that

50:22 ↗ much of our recent data or most current

50:25 ↗ data ises not necessarily reflect the

50:27 ↗ last year and a half of program projects

50:29 ↗ or

50:32 ↗ policies if we look at where our

50:34 ↗ emissions were in 2022 we are trending

50:37 ↗ down uh based on that inventory however

50:40 ↗ given the recent adoption of the plan um

50:43 ↗ just a year or a few months before some

50:45 ↗ of that data was collected um as we

50:47 ↗ discussed with you back in January uh

50:50 ↗ many of the or that uh trend is likely

50:52 ↗ based on a lot of the state policies for

50:55 ↗ buildings as well as cleaner uh

50:58 ↗ requirements for our

51:00 ↗ utilities in addition it was likely that

51:03 ↗ in 2022 we are still seeing a number of

51:05 ↗ folks working remotely um which likely

51:08 ↗ represents a a trend downward in our

51:11 ↗ transportation

51:13 ↗ emission in a few minutes we'll be

51:15 ↗ turning to looking at these Trends um in

51:17 ↗ more detail and whether they're trending

51:20 ↗ in the right direction fast

51:23 ↗ enough so digging a little bit further

51:26 ↗ into our inventory um on this slide we

51:28 ↗ can see a breakdown of where our

51:30 ↗ emissions are coming from as we

51:33 ↗ presented back in January our greatest

51:35 ↗ CommunityWide emissions are represented

51:38 ↗ um through buildings and energy use as

51:40 ↗ shown in Orange um and secondly with our

51:43 ↗ transportation

51:45 ↗ as again these um emissions were from

51:49 ↗ 2022 um but our previous inventories

51:52 ↗ prior to 2022 showed similar Trends in

51:55 ↗ terms of uh where our greatest emissions

51:58 ↗ were were and therefore the IAP

52:00 ↗ represents the actions primarily in

52:02 ↗ these

52:05 ↗ areas next turning to where we have

52:08 ↗ influence this graph represents what's

52:10 ↗ called a wedge analysis sty let's take

52:12 ↗ council member Mer's question oh yes

52:14 ↗ sorry can you go back to two slides one

52:16 ↗ more one more slide please yeah so on

52:18 ↗ this slide so the bars are absolute and

52:22 ↗ the dotted line are per capita is that

52:24 ↗ correct that is correct so as I look at

52:27 ↗ 2022 versus

52:29 ↗ 2019 it's interesting to me that

52:32 ↗ transportation is the same but built

52:34 ↗ environment is less given that 2022 is a

52:38 ↗ covid year that's kind of the exact

52:40 ↗ opposite of how I would have guessed

52:42 ↗ that those numbers would tease out is

52:44 ↗ there any thought on why build

52:46 ↗ environment was so much better in 2022

52:48 ↗ and transportation I mean there were

52:50 ↗ less cars on the road in 2022 right yeah

52:53 ↗ most of that and I'll have David um help

52:55 ↗ provide some more detail in a moment but

52:57 ↗ most of that is likely from the building

52:59 ↗ and energy codes at the state level as

53:02 ↗ well as um the utility requirements for

53:05 ↗ cleaner energy sources when we dig in a

53:08 ↗ little bit deeper in a future slide into

53:10 ↗ that Transportation Trend we will see it

53:13 ↗ is uh reduced and we do think that is a

53:16 ↗ l so between 2019 and 2022 we saw that

53:20 ↗ much of a reduction in from build built

53:24 ↗ environment just from code changes

53:25 ↗ because there was a huge Legacy amount

53:27 ↗ of of of built that did not necessarily

53:31 ↗ change right like a pretty small

53:33 ↗ fraction actually changed in those three

53:35 ↗ years yeah that's our assumption as well

53:37 ↗ as um through Ceda the clean energy

53:40 ↗ transformation Act and the cleanup of um

53:43 ↗ psse

53:46 ↗ energies we'll make sure David U

53:48 ↗ provides you deeper details when he's up

53:50 ↗ he was trying to jump up and knock her

53:52 ↗ out of the way already we were we are

53:53 ↗ going to dig into those Trends in a

53:55 ↗ little bit more great can provide some

53:57 ↗ more detail all right just at a high

53:58 ↗ level I just wanted to understand what

53:59 ↗ this what this slide was saying to me

54:01 ↗ okay thank you and council member Joe

54:03 ↗ too has a question thank you um on slide

54:06 ↗ seven where we are emissions you have

54:08 ↗ process and fugitive emissions um did

54:12 ↗ they commit a crime and they're escaping

54:13 ↗ the city or could you explain that a

54:15 ↗ little bit more for those of us that

54:16 ↗ work don't do not work in the field yeah

54:19 ↗ absolutely I think we talked a little

54:20 ↗ bit about these during the emissions

54:22 ↗ report um back in January but some of

54:24 ↗ those are uh emissions that is Escape

54:26 ↗ through um transmission of energy for

54:31 ↗ example and refrigerants is another one

54:35 ↗ um and some of those as you can see back

54:37 ↗ to 2012 uh 2007 those were not captured

54:40 ↗ in previous inventory so we do see that

54:43 ↗ the methodology for our inventory is

54:45 ↗ changes okay and just so I Carri the

54:47 ↗ information over correctly on slide

54:49 ↗ eight is the 5% refrigerants that's in

54:53 ↗ the high graph the same as The Fugitive

54:57 ↗ emissions in the prior

55:00 ↗ slide okay thank you yeah any other

55:03 ↗ council

55:04 ↗ members sty keep

55:07 ↗ going um so returning back to our wedge

55:10 ↗ analysis um this is a uh more commonly

55:13 ↗ now shown in inventories which is really

55:16 ↗ meant to be representative of um where

55:20 ↗ we have influence so if we look at the

55:23 ↗ black dash line um up above that that is

55:26 ↗ showing a business as usual emission

55:29 ↗ scenario where our targets is are are

55:32 ↗ the red dash line um down on the bottom

55:36 ↗ the solid colors are showing where that

55:38 ↗ federal and state and in some cases

55:41 ↗ Regional policies can help us with

55:43 ↗ emissions reduction um but in the dotted

55:46 ↗ or shaded area is where really local and

55:49 ↗ Regional action has the most influence

55:52 ↗ those blue and green shaded or dotted

55:54 ↗ areas are showing buildings and

55:57 ↗ transportation including Energy

55:59 ↗ Efficiency

56:01 ↗ decarbonization reduced vehicle mile

56:03 ↗ travel and transitioning to electric

56:05 ↗ vehicles um these are not meant to be uh

56:09 ↗ these a wedge analyses are not meant to

56:11 ↗ be prescriptive in the work that we do

56:13 ↗ but are meant to be um a guiding course

56:16 ↗ to help us set some um priorities for

56:19 ↗ our work we'll revisit this uh later

56:22 ↗ this evening as we look at the the work

56:25 ↗ that we plan to do over the next

56:30 ↗ so now digging into our actions and

56:33 ↗ where we are in terms of implementing

56:34 ↗ the IAP um as mentioned earlier uh as of

56:39 ↗ now we are at about 85% of our actions

56:42 ↗ are either complete or

56:44 ↗ underway we have included a company

56:46 ↗ report in the agenda packet that

56:48 ↗ provides a lot more details on each of

56:50 ↗ those actions um some of the areas that

56:53 ↗ we're starting to see some delays are

56:55 ↗ around material materials and

56:56 ↗ consumption um some delays in natural

56:59 ↗ systems actions and Community resilience

57:02 ↗ Nick's going to talk in a few moments

57:04 ↗ about um a little bit more detail on

57:06 ↗ some of those action areas and highlight

57:09 ↗ why we maying some of those

57:12 ↗ delay now turning to funding that's

57:14 ↗ supporting implementation of the actions

57:17 ↗ uh this graph is showing a breakdown of

57:19 ↗ our funding a majority of funding to the

57:23 ↗ sustainability fund is coming from City

57:25 ↗ budget as well as state Grant um also in

57:28 ↗ the company report we provide a detailed

57:31 ↗ breakdown of those funding

57:33 ↗ sources much of our recent State funding

57:35 ↗ is coming from the climate commitment

57:37 ↗ act um and again you can see a breakdown

57:40 ↗ of um CCA funding that we've secured in

57:43 ↗ that

57:46 ↗ report so how are we allocating our

57:49 ↗ funding across the different Focus areas

57:51 ↗ of the climate plan I do want to note

57:54 ↗ that uh what we're presenting tonight

57:56 ↗ only represents the funds that the

57:58 ↗ sustainability team manages um a lot of

58:02 ↗ our funding is going towards building in

58:04 ↗ energy um overarching actions and then

58:08 ↗ also um we are investing in community

58:11 ↗ resilience and well-being so again this

58:14 ↗ is not representing all of the funding

58:16 ↗ that's coming to the city to support IAP

58:18 ↗ implementation um only the funds that

58:22 ↗ are so next we're going to dig into each

58:25 ↗ of the actions by Focus area and I'm

58:27 ↗ going to hand it over to Nick who is

58:29 ↗ going to walk us through each of those

58:33 ↗ areas yes hello can everyone hear me

58:37 ↗ hang on hang on one second Nick um City

58:39 ↗ administrator is asking Stacy to add a

58:41 ↗ few more thoughts great uh there was

58:42 ↗ just a question to explain uh Civic

58:44 ↗ spark fellow um and I will start Nick

58:47 ↗ can add to that um so Civic spark is a

58:51 ↗ program similar it's actually now a

58:53 ↗ program um part of America core um but

58:57 ↗ it is typically an 11-month position

58:59 ↗ full-time position um Nick joined us in

59:02 ↗ January we had a Civic spark fellow that

59:04 ↗ was here earlier in the year she was

59:06 ↗ called back to the Navy um so we were

59:09 ↗ very lucky to bring on Nick in January

59:12 ↗ and Nick will be with us through August

59:14 ↗ so Nick's been working on a variety of

59:16 ↗ projects some of which um will be um

59:19 ↗ they'll be presenting on

59:22 ↗ tonight you're on Nick

59:26 ↗ all right hello can you hear

59:29 ↗ me very well yeah great um apologies I

59:33 ↗ can't be there in person I'm currently

59:35 ↗ sick with covid so I had to stay home

59:40 ↗ but I'm glad to be here to present to

59:42 ↗ you

59:43 ↗ all um so here we have a s snapshot of

59:48 ↗ action implementation for our

59:50 ↗ overarching actions um for this area you

59:53 ↗ can see that many of our actions are

59:55 ↗ complete meaning the action was launched

59:58 ↗ and is done or is ongoing or they're on

1:00:01 ↗ track for

1:00:05 ↗ implementation all

1:00:07 ↗ right

1:00:11 ↗ um N Mor

1:00:21 ↗ okay all right I can read out the next

1:00:24 ↗ slide um as it that so in the next slide

1:00:31 ↗ uh we are uh have a couple project

1:00:34 ↗ highlights to from the focus area um

1:00:38 ↗ first our greenhouse gas inventory was

1:00:40 ↗ completed for

1:00:42 ↗ 2022 uh this included both a

1:00:44 ↗ CommunityWide inventory and our first

1:00:47 ↗ Municipal operations inventory it was

1:00:50 ↗ the first inventory since the

1:00:51 ↗ development of the

1:00:53 ↗ IAP second um we are electri in our

1:00:56 ↗ Fleet um since IAP adoption we have

1:00:59 ↗ installed Fleet charging with more and

1:01:02 ↗ more coming this year um procured EVs

1:01:05 ↗ and have uh more EVS on order third we

1:01:10 ↗ have continued to engage on and build

1:01:12 ↗ our regional Partnerships most notable

1:01:15 ↗ is the launch of our new formal

1:01:16 ↗ partnership with the East Side cities

1:01:18 ↗ that is collaboratively applying for

1:01:20 ↗ Grants conducting research and running

1:01:23 ↗ programs

1:01:28 ↗ all right slide provides us with a

1:01:30 ↗ snapshot of our buildings and energy

1:01:32 ↗ actions we have a mix of progress for

1:01:35 ↗ these actions uh with most complete or

1:01:38 ↗ on track some of these actions are

1:01:40 ↗ long-term initiatives that take

1:01:42 ↗ substantial funding capacity or

1:01:44 ↗ political will which is why there may be

1:01:46 ↗ some

1:01:51 ↗ delays okay here are a few project

1:01:54 ↗ highlights from this Focus area

1:01:56 ↗ first we are partnering with pan energy

1:01:59 ↗ on a community solar project on the

1:02:01 ↗ community center that will be installed

1:02:03 ↗ in the fall of

1:02:04 ↗ 2024 thank you Council for your approval

1:02:06 ↗ of this project all shares will go to

1:02:09 ↗ low-income community members reducing

1:02:11 ↗ their monthly electric bills second we

1:02:14 ↗ continue to manage our Energy Efficiency

1:02:16 ↗ and electrification programs for large

1:02:18 ↗ buildings and residential homes through

1:02:20 ↗ our clean buildings incentive program

1:02:23 ↗ and heat pump campaign run through to

1:02:26 ↗ the Energy Smart East

1:02:30 ↗ Side okay this slide provides a snapshot

1:02:34 ↗ of progress on actions under the

1:02:36 ↗ transportation and land use category

1:02:38 ↗ many of these actions called for the

1:02:40 ↗ update or update through the title 18

1:02:43 ↗ process which were completed with the

1:02:45 ↗ adoption of the new code last year other

1:02:48 ↗ actions related to the plan

1:02:50 ↗ implementation and EV charging which are

1:02:52 ↗ underway and are long-term processes

1:02:58 ↗ here are a few project highlights from

1:03:00 ↗ this Focus area there are updates to the

1:03:03 ↗ land code land use code included sorry

1:03:07 ↗ updates to land use code included

1:03:09 ↗ requirements around sustainable

1:03:11 ↗ buildings and a focus on environmental

1:03:13 ↗ stewardship the city is piloting

1:03:15 ↗ alternatives for single occupancy

1:03:18 ↗ vehicle trips such as Metroflex and the

1:03:21 ↗ city continues to advocate for improved

1:03:23 ↗ Transit and Light Rail service

1:03:28 ↗ all right this slide provides a snapshot

1:03:30 ↗ on where we are with the materials and

1:03:32 ↗ consumption category some of these

1:03:34 ↗ actions are delayed or not yet started

1:03:36 ↗ due to capacity constraints with the

1:03:39 ↗ hiring of Sam Tarvin as our Solid Waste

1:03:41 ↗ analyst this spring we have more

1:03:43 ↗ capacity and we are looking forward to

1:03:45 ↗ advancing and expanding several

1:03:47 ↗ initiatives this

1:03:52 ↗ year a few project highlights here first

1:03:55 ↗ the new Recology contract brings many

1:03:58 ↗ environmental benefits to the city

1:04:00 ↗ including a dedicated zero waste

1:04:02 ↗ specialist who is working with

1:04:03 ↗ commercial and multif family buildings

1:04:05 ↗ to increase waste diversion including

1:04:08 ↗ introducing Recycling and

1:04:10 ↗ composting second we have a program

1:04:12 ↗ dedicated to waste diversion in schools

1:04:15 ↗ working with ISD schools within the city

1:04:17 ↗ boundaries to bring back to bring back

1:04:19 ↗ recycling composting and reusable

1:04:21 ↗ utensils right siiz waste receptacles

1:04:24 ↗ and educate student students on waste

1:04:30 ↗ Diversion the natural systems and Water

1:04:32 ↗ Resources category many of these actions

1:04:34 ↗ relate to work happening within CPD and

1:04:37 ↗ public works and focus on plan

1:04:39 ↗ implementation many of the actions do

1:04:41 ↗ not directly relate to our Target in

1:04:43 ↗ this category for increased tree C

1:04:49 ↗ canopy a few projects to highlight uh

1:04:52 ↗ include the updates to the title 18 land

1:04:54 ↗ use code to f Fus on tree preservation

1:04:57 ↗ and enhancements and continued natural

1:04:59 ↗ systems plan

1:05:03 ↗ implementation for our community

1:05:05 ↗ resilience and well-being focused area

1:05:07 ↗ we have a mix of progress on actions as

1:05:09 ↗ many of these are long-term projects or

1:05:11 ↗ planning around new emergency responses

1:05:14 ↗ and protecting vul vulnerable

1:05:19 ↗ populations two projects to highlight in

1:05:22 ↗ this category include first completion

1:05:25 ↗ of our climate vulnerability assessment

1:05:27 ↗ which looks at our community's risk to

1:05:29 ↗ climate impacts and can be used to

1:05:31 ↗ inform projects and planning across the

1:05:33 ↗ city second the resilience Hub project

1:05:36 ↗ where we are working with Partners

1:05:38 ↗ across the city to develop a network of

1:05:40 ↗ services for before during and after a

1:05:43 ↗ climate

1:05:44 ↗ disaster I'll now hand it over to David

1:05:46 ↗ to talk about progress towards our IAP

1:05:49 ↗ targets thank you all

1:05:52 ↗ right thank you all very much for having

1:05:55 ↗ us oh before you jump in I think we have

1:05:56 ↗ a question uh Deputy council president a

1:05:59 ↗ couple of questions on the

1:06:00 ↗ transportation and uh uh partnership

1:06:04 ↗ with the school district um I noticed

1:06:06 ↗ that they recently got a grant to uh buy

1:06:09 ↗ I think six electric buses and so did we

1:06:12 ↗ play a role in that are we partnering

1:06:14 ↗ with them on those kinds of

1:06:15 ↗ Transportation efforts as well yeah we

1:06:19 ↗ did not directly play a role we have

1:06:21 ↗ been um offering our support for grant

1:06:24 ↗ opportunities and then we will be

1:06:26 ↗ starting to engage with them in a

1:06:28 ↗ conversation about shared charging it

1:06:30 ↗ looks like they're going to be putting

1:06:31 ↗ the charging for those buses up in the

1:06:33 ↗ mamish just because of the um ease for

1:06:36 ↗ serving that area with the electric

1:06:38 ↗ buses but we're hoping to expand that

1:06:40 ↗ down here um and look at some

1:06:43 ↗ Partnerships for charging can I add to

1:06:45 ↗ that too yeah um PSC um used us to make

1:06:48 ↗ an introduction to the school district

1:06:50 ↗ as well to try and talk about not only

1:06:52 ↗ the purchasing but the electrification

1:06:54 ↗ of the grid and

1:06:56 ↗ uh we got the people connected together

1:06:57 ↗ that are going to do it but the Focus

1:06:59 ↗ right now is on the bond and so this is

1:07:01 ↗ going to get pushed till later in the

1:07:04 ↗ fall and then I had a second question

1:07:06 ↗ and that's about the resilience hubs and

1:07:08 ↗ I think the last time that you came to

1:07:10 ↗ talk to us um you had started on at

1:07:14 ↗ least two of those hubs um is is that

1:07:17 ↗ are those still um going forward and uh

1:07:21 ↗ again how do people contact you to let

1:07:24 ↗ you know that they'd like to be a

1:07:26 ↗ resilience

1:07:28 ↗ Hub yes so I can uh speak to that um to

1:07:33 ↗ to contact us um I can connect with uh

1:07:37 ↗ you following this meeting um the

1:07:40 ↗ project is being co-managed by myself

1:07:42 ↗ and uh Jared Schneider our emergency

1:07:44 ↗ manager so happy to uh discuss that um

1:07:48 ↗ we are next week actually wrapping up

1:07:51 ↗ kind of the first phase of of what we're

1:07:53 ↗ calling the resilience Hub project which

1:07:55 ↗ is

1:07:56 ↗ um really that that goal setting setting

1:07:58 ↗ up kind of what what we're really trying

1:08:01 ↗ to do here in isqua for the resilience

1:08:03 ↗ Hub project um and so we'll be the plan

1:08:06 ↗ is to to roll out um uh our resilience

1:08:10 ↗ hubs or or the sites that we want to uh

1:08:12 ↗ start with resilience hubs uh this fall

1:08:16 ↗ um and so we're kind of in the final

1:08:17 ↗ process of um selecting those initial

1:08:21 ↗ sites and then also we're U more than

1:08:24 ↗ happy to talk about additional sites as

1:08:28 ↗ well not seeing any other questions go

1:08:30 ↗ ahead David all right so what we've

1:08:34 ↗ covered so far uh has focused on and

1:08:37 ↗ here we go so what we've covered so far

1:08:40 ↗ has focused on implementation of the 54

1:08:43 ↗ actions in the climate action plan now

1:08:46 ↗ we're going to zoom back out and look at

1:08:48 ↗ our targets under each of those Focus

1:08:50 ↗ areas note that plan implementation is

1:08:54 ↗ only 2 and A2 years under way and most

1:08:56 ↗ of our data uh on targets is from the

1:08:58 ↗ 2022 greenhouse gas inventory there is a

1:09:02 ↗ lag time between our actions and when we

1:09:04 ↗ can measure impact our next greenhouse

1:09:07 ↗ gas inventory will be conducted in 2025

1:09:10 ↗ uh to cover 2024 or about two uh two and

1:09:14 ↗ a half years of plan

1:09:16 ↗ implementation in the next slides I will

1:09:18 ↗ cover Topline messaging on progress

1:09:20 ↗ highlight some of the data used to track

1:09:22 ↗ progress and provide a staff summary of

1:09:25 ↗ what we think is needed to accelerate

1:09:31 ↗ progress so for this section I'll be

1:09:34 ↗ sharing a few Topline takeaways for

1:09:36 ↗ targets under each Focus area before

1:09:38 ↗ diving into some of the data that is

1:09:40 ↗ supporting our takeaways for our

1:09:42 ↗ overarching climate targets emissions

1:09:45 ↗ are decreasing uh but our current trends

1:09:48 ↗ are not on track for us to reach our

1:09:50 ↗ 2030 targets for buildings in energy

1:09:53 ↗ energy use and fossil fuel use uh is

1:09:57 ↗ increasing but as did our population and

1:10:00 ↗ our building stock however we did

1:10:02 ↗ achieve one of our targets for 100%

1:10:04 ↗ renewable electricity uh for City

1:10:07 ↗ buildings and we did that one year early

1:10:09 ↗ than uh the climate action

1:10:11 ↗ plan for transportation and land use we

1:10:14 ↗ are close to achieving our non-drive

1:10:16 ↗ alone mode share Target and our vehicle

1:10:19 ↗ miles traveled Target is or uh progress

1:10:22 ↗ is decreasing however we do anticipate

1:10:25 ↗ uh some of those numbers representing

1:10:28 ↗ impacts of earlier covid-19 response

1:10:31 ↗ we'll have a better idea of the new Norm

1:10:33 ↗ with our 2024

1:10:37 ↗ inventory so under the overarching

1:10:40 ↗ climate actions uh area our Target

1:10:43 ↗ focuses on CommunityWide greenhouse gas

1:10:46 ↗ emissions reduction so the graph on the

1:10:49 ↗ screen shows our greenhouse gas

1:10:51 ↗ emissions from our completed inventories

1:10:53 ↗ in green and shows are Targets in Black

1:10:57 ↗ for 2030 240 and 2050 these columns uh

1:11:02 ↗ in Black represent uh the percent

1:11:04 ↗ decreases listed in the targets using

1:11:07 ↗ 2007 as our Baseline year one thing you

1:11:11 ↗ might notice is that we are finally

1:11:12 ↗ going in the right direction with our

1:11:14 ↗ 2022 inventory as we see our

1:11:17 ↗ CommunityWide greenhouse gas emissions

1:11:19 ↗ going down in

1:11:20 ↗ 2022 this is likely from State Pol

1:11:23 ↗ policies utility requirements

1:11:25 ↗ and utility fuel mix changes and just to

1:11:28 ↗ provide a little bit more context for

1:11:30 ↗ council member Mark's uh earlier

1:11:32 ↗ question our Transportation uh emissions

1:11:36 ↗ between 2019 and 2022 decreased

1:11:39 ↗ 133% um mainly due to electrification of

1:11:43 ↗ vehicles and also decreases in uh

1:11:45 ↗ vehicle miles traveled which you'll see

1:11:48 ↗ um and then our building and uh building

1:11:50 ↗ energy use emissions decreased 16% so

1:11:54 ↗ since that's a bigger share of the uh

1:11:58 ↗ overall Pi um that decrease kind of

1:12:01 ↗ appears bigger on that graph but the

1:12:03 ↗ Transportation uh emissions did also

1:12:05 ↗ decrease between 2020 2019 and

1:12:10 ↗ 2022 and there is more detail on that in

1:12:13 ↗ the uh 2022 greenhouse gas inventory

1:12:16 ↗ report that's on the

1:12:19 ↗ website so if we change how we look at

1:12:22 ↗ the previous graph we can extrapolate

1:12:24 ↗ out and show how much our emissions

1:12:26 ↗ would decrease if we kept the trend we

1:12:28 ↗ saw in

1:12:29 ↗ 2022 we were to continue the downward

1:12:32 ↗ Trend we have been on between 2019 and

1:12:35 ↗ 2022 we would get close but miss our

1:12:38 ↗ 2030 Target in this graph the solid

1:12:41 ↗ green line represents the continuation

1:12:43 ↗ of our greenhouse gas reduction trend

1:12:45 ↗ from 2022 well the dashed black line is

1:12:48 ↗ the greenhouse gas reduction Trend we

1:12:50 ↗ need to see in order to meet our 2030

1:12:54 ↗ Target

1:13:00 ↗ I think that got put in the wrong spot

1:13:03 ↗ um so for buildings and energy our

1:13:05 ↗ targets focus on reducing energy use

1:13:07 ↗ overall reducing greenhouse gas

1:13:09 ↗ emissions from new buildings uh reducing

1:13:13 ↗ fossil fuel use in new building in our

1:13:15 ↗ buildings and realizing 100% renewable

1:13:18 ↗ energy for municipal buildings all of

1:13:21 ↗ these targets represent different pieces

1:13:23 ↗ of the puzzle required to reduce

1:13:25 ↗ greenhouse gas emissions from the built

1:13:28 ↗ environment this graph specifically

1:13:30 ↗ looks at how we can measure one of these

1:13:32 ↗ targets reducing fossil fuel use which

1:13:34 ↗ is natural gas propane oil Etc in our

1:13:38 ↗ built environment looking at the

1:13:40 ↗ comparison between fossil fuel use in

1:13:42 ↗ 2017 to 2022 our fossil fuel use

1:13:46 ↗ actually is increasing overall in order

1:13:49 ↗ to meet our 2030 and 2050 targets for

1:13:52 ↗ fossil fuel reduction uh repres

1:13:55 ↗ presented in Shades of Gray we will need

1:13:56 ↗ to reverse this

1:14:03 ↗ trend under our transportation and land

1:14:06 ↗ use Focus area the targets focus on

1:14:08 ↗ increasing non-drive alone mode share

1:14:10 ↗ and decreasing vehicle miles

1:14:13 ↗ traveled this graph shows our vehicle

1:14:15 ↗ miles traveled Trends between 2017 and

1:14:18 ↗ 2022 when we think about vehicle miles

1:14:20 ↗ traveled the more folks driving gas or

1:14:23 ↗ diesel power vehicles the more greenhous

1:14:25 ↗ gas emissions in the transportation

1:14:27 ↗ sector in our community one immediate

1:14:30 ↗ takeaway uh with this graph is that the

1:14:33 ↗ vast majority of vehicle miles traveled

1:14:36 ↗ in our community is from light duty

1:14:38 ↗ Vehicles like Passenger cars while the

1:14:41 ↗ emissions per per mile can be higher

1:14:43 ↗ with say a heavyduty vehicle versus a

1:14:45 ↗ light duty vehicle the majority of

1:14:47 ↗ emissions from Vehicles use remains from

1:14:50 ↗ light duty

1:14:51 ↗ cars while we are seeing a downward

1:14:54 ↗ trend for for VMT between 2019 and 2022

1:14:58 ↗ we anticipate this is likely

1:15:00 ↗ artificially low due to carryover

1:15:02 ↗ impacts from co9 uh work from home and

1:15:05 ↗ reduced

1:15:06 ↗ activity here we can see the 2030

1:15:09 ↗ targets for reduced VMT in Shades of

1:15:12 ↗ Gray and while we are trending downward

1:15:15 ↗ um our 2024 inventory will be telling of

1:15:17 ↗ whether that Trend continues or turns

1:15:19 ↗ around based on fewer covid-19

1:15:22 ↗ restrictions

1:15:27 ↗ okay so I've walked through a lot of

1:15:28 ↗ data and it's important to debrief a bit

1:15:30 ↗ before on what this data tells us first

1:15:34 ↗ across all three Focus areas we need

1:15:36 ↗ continued and in cases accelerated

1:15:38 ↗ investment in actions that will help us

1:15:41 ↗ achieve those targets we need to

1:15:44 ↗ continue to lead by example in the

1:15:47 ↗ actions by departments and in the

1:15:48 ↗ physical assets of our city our

1:15:50 ↗ facilities and our

1:15:52 ↗ vehicles also we need to continue to

1:15:54 ↗ advocate beyond our city borders for

1:15:56 ↗ what we needed to uh for what will be

1:15:59 ↗ needed to achieve our targets because we

1:16:01 ↗ will not reach our targets alone and

1:16:03 ↗ without complimentary actions at the

1:16:06 ↗ county state utility and federal

1:16:12 ↗ level okay moving on to the next three

1:16:15 ↗ Focus areas for materials and

1:16:18 ↗ consumption waste diversion rates are

1:16:20 ↗ trending in the wrong direction and we

1:16:22 ↗ are off track to achieve our waste

1:16:24 ↗ reduction goals as a note there are two

1:16:27 ↗ different ways the same waste reduction

1:16:29 ↗ goals are framed in the climate action

1:16:31 ↗ plan which would lead to different um

1:16:34 ↗ Target outcomes so staff plan on

1:16:36 ↗ addressing this issue during the next

1:16:38 ↗ update for natural systems and Water

1:16:41 ↗ Resources we are making progress and

1:16:43 ↗ staff believe we are on track for our

1:16:45 ↗ 2035 tree canopy goals for Community

1:16:48 ↗ resilience and well-being this target is

1:16:50 ↗ very difficult to track and measure and

1:16:53 ↗ we are working with many City

1:16:55 ↗ departments to deal with that however we

1:16:57 ↗ do have many projects working toward the

1:16:59 ↗ target under this Focus

1:17:05 ↗ area so diving back into the data

1:17:09 ↗ starting with the materials and

1:17:10 ↗ consumption first you will note between

1:17:12 ↗ 2020 and 2023 are waste diversion rates

1:17:15 ↗ the total diversion is seen in the last

1:17:17 ↗ row of the table um have been going in

1:17:19 ↗ the wrong wrong direction and we need to

1:17:21 ↗ seriously reverse this trend um in order

1:17:24 ↗ to reach our targets for 2030 and 2050

1:17:27 ↗ which are seen in the last two columns

1:17:29 ↗ of this table again there is a slight uh

1:17:31 ↗ difference in framing for the of this

1:17:33 ↗ Target in the climate action plan which

1:17:35 ↗ staff will address as a note during the

1:17:38 ↗ years covered in this table the city did

1:17:39 ↗ not have a dedicated uh Solid Waste

1:17:41 ↗ analyst and so we expect that with more

1:17:43 ↗ dedicated attention uh to this issue we

1:17:46 ↗ will be able to make more progress uh on

1:17:49 ↗ targets and actions within this Focus

1:17:51 ↗ area

1:17:56 ↗ within the natural systems and Water

1:17:58 ↗ Resources uh Focus area our targets

1:18:01 ↗ focus on uh tree

1:18:04 ↗ canopy initial results as part of the

1:18:06 ↗ urban Forest management plan development

1:18:08 ↗ show that the city is still at 51% tree

1:18:11 ↗ canopy the plan along with the title 18

1:18:14 ↗ tree code will help us identify

1:18:16 ↗ additional opportunities for our

1:18:18 ↗ increasing our canopy on the slide here

1:18:20 ↗ is an image from previous studies

1:18:22 ↗ showing potential areas to expand tree

1:18:25 ↗ tree canopy in light green which can

1:18:27 ↗ help us achieve the 55% tree canopy

1:18:30 ↗ cover

1:18:33 ↗ Target and finally as I mentioned before

1:18:36 ↗ as well the community resilience Target

1:18:38 ↗ is very hard to measure that being said

1:18:41 ↗ staff are still implementing the actions

1:18:43 ↗ within this Focus area such as

1:18:45 ↗ developing a plan for a network of

1:18:46 ↗ resilience hubs which could better

1:18:48 ↗ support emergency response especially

1:18:50 ↗ for those most vulnerable to climate

1:18:52 ↗ emergencies in our community

1:18:58 ↗ within these three Focus areas we have

1:19:00 ↗ many areas where we can accelerate our

1:19:03 ↗ efforts similar to the previous messages

1:19:06 ↗ we need continued investments in

1:19:08 ↗ policies programs and Partnerships uh

1:19:11 ↗ and services Additionally you will see

1:19:13 ↗ we have identified areas of potential

1:19:15 ↗ revisions to The Climate action plan in

1:19:17 ↗ the future to make it easier to measure

1:19:19 ↗ progress towards targets and to make

1:19:21 ↗ sure that actions actually line up with

1:19:23 ↗ the targets of the FOC Focus

1:19:25 ↗ area and with that detailed look at

1:19:27 ↗ Targets I will turn it back to Stacy to

1:19:29 ↗ sum up where we are and where we

1:19:34 ↗ headed thanks Nick and David um so we

1:19:38 ↗ did a deep dive into our actions and

1:19:41 ↗ targets we're going to bring it home now

1:19:43 ↗ with a bit of a summary of where we are

1:19:46 ↗ headed and what our needs

1:19:48 ↗ are I wanted to briefly just revisit

1:19:51 ↗ this wedge analysis which again is

1:19:54 ↗ providing guidance or is a resource to

1:19:56 ↗ us to help us set our priorities on

1:19:58 ↗ where local action can be most impactful

1:20:02 ↗ um and where we're headed in the next

1:20:04 ↗ few years in terms of the work that

1:20:06 ↗ we're implementing um again our work

1:20:09 ↗ will be really focused on buildings

1:20:11 ↗ energy um as well as building

1:20:14 ↗ Partnerships with other departments to

1:20:16 ↗ implement Transportation Investments

1:20:18 ↗ we'll talk a bit a bit more about that

1:20:21 ↗ um in a

1:20:22 ↗ moment so what can we take away from a

1:20:24 ↗ summary in terms of our progress on

1:20:26 ↗ actions and targets um we are

1:20:29 ↗ implementing actions as identified in

1:20:31 ↗ the IAP uh where staff are really

1:20:33 ↗ focusing our resources and capacity are

1:20:37 ↗ on the actions that we feel have the

1:20:38 ↗ largest impact in terms of making

1:20:41 ↗ progress towards our

1:20:43 ↗ targets our overarching greenhouse gas

1:20:45 ↗ emissions are starting to move in the

1:20:47 ↗ right direction but we need to

1:20:49 ↗ accelerate that progress likely as we've

1:20:52 ↗ mentioned a couple of times much of the

1:20:54 ↗ Improvement that we saw in our 2022

1:20:57 ↗ greenhouse gas inv inventory was outside

1:21:00 ↗ of local city control um but we have

1:21:03 ↗ many actions in place that will help

1:21:04 ↗ drive that

1:21:06 ↗ progress progress towards some of our

1:21:08 ↗ targets is not moving in the right

1:21:10 ↗ direction we need additional capacity

1:21:12 ↗ and resource investment in some cases we

1:21:15 ↗ may need to consider some new policies

1:21:17 ↗ to really move the needle right now

1:21:20 ↗ we're leading with incentives and

1:21:22 ↗ Outreach and we will continue to

1:21:23 ↗ evaluate whether whether that is the

1:21:25 ↗ most effective approach or if we need to

1:21:28 ↗ reconsider um actions and

1:21:31 ↗ policies and then Partnerships with

1:21:33 ↗ other jurisdictions public agencies and

1:21:36 ↗ the Private Industry is supporting

1:21:38 ↗ advancements in our work we are also

1:21:41 ↗ developing models that are being looked

1:21:42 ↗ to regionally and nationally on areas

1:21:45 ↗ such as residential electrification

1:21:47 ↗ purchasing resilience and unique

1:21:49 ↗ Partnerships we're really working to be

1:21:51 ↗ a leader in this space and partner with

1:21:53 ↗ other Juris itions to advance our

1:21:59 ↗ work in terms of where we need to go to

1:22:01 ↗ accelerate that progress we need to

1:22:04 ↗ accelerate our work addressing

1:22:05 ↗ commercial and residential building

1:22:08 ↗ emissions this requires further

1:22:10 ↗ investment and expansion of our programs

1:22:12 ↗ to support electrification adding

1:22:15 ↗ Renewables and increasing Energy

1:22:17 ↗ Efficiency we will do this by further

1:22:19 ↗ pursuing funding sources building our

1:22:22 ↗ capacity through Partnerships and

1:22:24 ↗ Consultants teams and providing

1:22:26 ↗ incentives and resources for the

1:22:27 ↗ communities through new and expanded

1:22:30 ↗ programming we need to continue to

1:22:32 ↗ invest in opportunities for alternatives

1:22:35 ↗ to single occupancy vehicles and gas

1:22:37 ↗ powerered vehicles as well as continued

1:22:40 ↗ advocacy for Regional Transit otherwise

1:22:44 ↗ Transportation will continue to be a

1:22:46 ↗ major emission contributor and may even

1:22:48 ↗ surpass our buildings and energy we will

1:22:51 ↗ do this work by partnering with other

1:22:53 ↗ City departments including Public Works

1:22:55 ↗ and CPD in order to secure resources so

1:22:59 ↗ that we can further Implement projects

1:23:00 ↗ and programs to support those

1:23:02 ↗ departments as they build out uh

1:23:04 ↗ transportation systems and Regional

1:23:07 ↗ Transit we need to continue to assess

1:23:10 ↗ what the barriers are to implementation

1:23:12 ↗ and identify opportunities to overcome

1:23:14 ↗ those barriers we are doing this through

1:23:16 ↗ listening to our community members as

1:23:18 ↗ well as uh doing local and National

1:23:21 ↗ research so that we can develop Creative

1:23:23 ↗ Solutions to

1:23:25 ↗ carers and then finally we need to

1:23:27 ↗ continue to be a leader in this

1:23:29 ↗ field um not only to set an example for

1:23:32 ↗ our community but to develop programs

1:23:34 ↗ and and projects that can be looked at

1:23:37 ↗ as models for other jurisdictions we

1:23:40 ↗ will do this by continued leadership

1:23:42 ↗ from Council um support and influence

1:23:46 ↗ which may include staff supporting

1:23:48 ↗ Council through helping identify

1:23:50 ↗ legislative priorities consideration for

1:23:52 ↗ new or revised policies and continued

1:23:55 ↗ support for investment in climate

1:23:59 ↗ action So based on our assessment of IAP

1:24:02 ↗ implementation over the last two and a

1:24:04 ↗ half years here are the areas that we

1:24:06 ↗ are planning to focus as we advance

1:24:10 ↗ implementation we will be um focusing

1:24:12 ↗ our efforts on influencing Behavior

1:24:14 ↗ change by providing opportunities

1:24:16 ↗ resources incentives and by Leading by

1:24:19 ↗ example this includes working with

1:24:21 ↗ residents businesses property owners and

1:24:23 ↗ our own staff we'll be further investing

1:24:26 ↗ in our

1:24:27 ↗ residential and Commercial uh programs

1:24:30 ↗ for building um around buildings and

1:24:33 ↗ energies uh by focusing our staff

1:24:36 ↗ capacity building out Partnerships um

1:24:38 ↗ and continuing to pursue funding

1:24:41 ↗ sources um as we talked about it is uh

1:24:44 ↗ challenging to measure the impact of

1:24:46 ↗ some of our resilience measures but we

1:24:48 ↗ see this as one of our greatest

1:24:50 ↗ priorities and particularly um to

1:24:52 ↗ support our community members that might

1:24:54 ↗ be most at risk during a climate

1:24:56 ↗ disaster we will continue to work with

1:24:58 ↗ staff on enhancing our city

1:25:00 ↗ infrastructure projects and programs to

1:25:02 ↗ ensure that we are building our own uh

1:25:05 ↗ City resilience while also expanding

1:25:07 ↗ programming to build the community's

1:25:10 ↗ resilience and finally as we've talked a

1:25:12 ↗ lot about tonight Partnerships are

1:25:14 ↗ really crucial to our work we're going

1:25:15 ↗ to continue to build out our

1:25:17 ↗ Partnerships to expand our IAP

1:25:19 ↗ implementation um this is both

1:25:21 ↗ internally with our city departments um

1:25:24 ↗ as well as working across Community

1:25:26 ↗ organizations and other

1:25:31 ↗ jurisdictions so uh in terms of looking

1:25:34 ↗ uh at the most immediate future um we

1:25:37 ↗ are currently working on our budget

1:25:39 ↗ requests for the banum and our

1:25:41 ↗ investment in IAP implementation um in

1:25:43 ↗ the meantime we're going to continue to

1:25:45 ↗ advance the programs and projects um

1:25:47 ↗ focused on the areas that we just uh

1:25:50 ↗ talk about talked about a moment ago in

1:25:53 ↗ 2025 we will begin the process for

1:25:55 ↗ updating the IAP uh anticipating that we

1:25:59 ↗ will finalize icap adoption in summer of

1:26:01 ↗ 2026 ahead of the next budget

1:26:05 ↗ cycle and then finally just wanted to

1:26:07 ↗ say that we greatly appreciate all the

1:26:09 ↗ uh Partnerships that we have with other

1:26:11 ↗ departments our neighboring

1:26:13 ↗ jurisdictions Council and the community

1:26:15 ↗ in supporting implementation we look

1:26:17 ↗ forward to Bringing more programs and

1:26:19 ↗ resources to isqua in order to support

1:26:22 ↗ uh further climate action

1:26:26 ↗ thank you thank you thanks all three of

1:26:30 ↗ you looking to council for

1:26:33 ↗ questions that's M Hall thank you uh

1:26:36 ↗ thank you for the super informative

1:26:38 ↗ presentation all three of you really

1:26:39 ↗ appreciate it I have um four questions I

1:26:43 ↗ didn't think of in advance but your

1:26:44 ↗ presentation made me think of um the

1:26:47 ↗ first couple questions well you talked a

1:26:49 ↗ lot about continuing and accelerating

1:26:52 ↗ investment so I have a couple questions

1:26:53 ↗ around funding and if you need to just

1:26:55 ↗ say Zach that's going to be part of

1:26:58 ↗ budget that's totally fine so um one

1:27:01 ↗ slide you talked about grant funding so

1:27:04 ↗ this questions around capacity around

1:27:06 ↗ grant funding it's our sense that we're

1:27:08 ↗ applying to everything that we should be

1:27:10 ↗ we have good capacity for um applying

1:27:13 ↗ for Grants or or do we think

1:27:17 ↗ that we're leaving some money on the

1:27:19 ↗ table there are some gr opportunities

1:27:21 ↗ that we're just not able to apply for

1:27:24 ↗ yeah great question thank you I think at

1:27:26 ↗ this time we we are trying to pursue

1:27:29 ↗ every Grant opportunity um I would say

1:27:32 ↗ State Grant opportunity we have not felt

1:27:34 ↗ that we are necessarily competitive at

1:27:36 ↗ the federal level for some of our

1:27:38 ↗ programs um although that is something

1:27:41 ↗ we're pursuing with other jurisdictions

1:27:43 ↗ as well as other departments I think

1:27:45 ↗ where there is an opportunity for us to

1:27:47 ↗ expand um on Grant applications is uh

1:27:50 ↗ better Partnerships with other

1:27:52 ↗ departments um for instance look a Grant

1:27:55 ↗ application for transportation

1:27:57 ↗ programming for instance where we may

1:27:59 ↗ not be the lead but we can support the

1:28:01 ↗ other

1:28:04 ↗ department and if I could just add a

1:28:06 ↗ little bit on the funding uh much if not

1:28:09 ↗ all of the state funding that we get is

1:28:10 ↗ from the state's climate commitment act

1:28:12 ↗ if that is repealed all that money goes

1:28:14 ↗ away um and so what would you say

1:28:17 ↗ approximately the dollar amount has been

1:28:20 ↗ um we have

1:28:22 ↗ about say two and a half million I

1:28:24 ↗ believe um give or take that's coming to

1:28:28 ↗ the city for those so that's that's no

1:28:29 ↗ small dollar amount um and so if that

1:28:32 ↗ goes away we would be really hard

1:28:34 ↗ pressed to replace that um tomorrow

1:28:37 ↗ evening at the mobility infrastructure

1:28:39 ↗ committee the committee is going to hear

1:28:41 ↗ a proposal to increase the uh uh Solid

1:28:44 ↗ Waste administrative fee that we have

1:28:46 ↗ going back up to 9% so we anticipate

1:28:48 ↗ that that would generate several

1:28:50 ↗ hundred, a year all of which would go

1:28:56 ↗ so that was my second question um was

1:28:59 ↗ around our committee meeting tomorrow

1:29:00 ↗ night is and is that so going from 6% to

1:29:05 ↗ 9% on the admin fee for solid waste

1:29:07 ↗ contract to support climate actions is

1:29:10 ↗ that what we're anticipating help would

1:29:12 ↗ help Meet The increased need that we

1:29:15 ↗ that we have or would that be in

1:29:17 ↗ addition to other funding levers that we

1:29:20 ↗ pressing not thinking of Grants yep um

1:29:23 ↗ that we believe would meet the need over

1:29:25 ↗ the next couple of years uh likely

1:29:28 ↗ needing to revisit it if CCA is repealed

1:29:31 ↗ um our hope is to pursue climate

1:29:33 ↗ commitment act funding for some of our

1:29:35 ↗ big infrastructure projects solar

1:29:37 ↗ installations EV charging um but the

1:29:40 ↗ increase in the administrative fee would

1:29:42 ↗ cover our general programming and

1:29:44 ↗ some baseline uh large

1:29:49 ↗ capit so something for the community to

1:29:51 ↗ be aware of that we're having that

1:29:52 ↗ meeting

1:29:54 ↗ um so um actually speaking of waste um

1:29:57 ↗ so you brought up waste diversion as

1:29:59 ↗ well and we a council we've heard from

1:30:02 ↗ uh an individual a couple times now uh

1:30:05 ↗ in this space very passionate about this

1:30:06 ↗ space so there's one action around

1:30:09 ↗ requiring future action around requiring

1:30:12 ↗ Recycling and composting and I'm just

1:30:13 ↗ wondering when we think might when we

1:30:16 ↗ think might be the best and most

1:30:17 ↗ appropriate time to start approaching

1:30:20 ↗ that action what have you thought about

1:30:22 ↗ that one so yeah great question I would

1:30:24 ↗ defer that to Sam Tarpin and the Public

1:30:26 ↗ Works team that's really under her

1:30:29 ↗ leadership right now um I think one

1:30:31 ↗ thing we mentioned tonight is that we

1:30:33 ↗ are assessing kind of which policies we

1:30:35 ↗ do want to put in place our approach has

1:30:38 ↗ really been on the Outreach incentive

1:30:39 ↗ piece but at some point that may not go

1:30:41 ↗ far enough um so that is a conversation

1:30:44 ↗ we'd want to have in consultation with

1:30:46 ↗ Sam on the timing of that and looking to

1:30:49 ↗ see how the work with our zero waste

1:30:51 ↗ specialist from rology is rolling out

1:30:53 ↗ the programming that she's planning to

1:30:55 ↗ roll out um and at what point is that

1:30:57 ↗ not going to get us far enough for

1:30:59 ↗ policy might

1:31:01 ↗ need and let me just add a couple of

1:31:03 ↗ words there um we we are fortunate to

1:31:06 ↗ have a very talented Solway specialist

1:31:09 ↗ she's still spending a lot of her time

1:31:11 ↗ making sure that rology uh follows their

1:31:15 ↗ contract an unacceptable amount of time

1:31:18 ↗ um there are some indications that they

1:31:20 ↗ are turning a corner and that they are

1:31:22 ↗ back to some sense of nor noral

1:31:24 ↗ operations a part of the budget uh

1:31:27 ↗ discussions are uh what else do we need

1:31:30 ↗ to do to manage this contract versus

1:31:32 ↗ move forward on some of these other

1:31:33 ↗ initiatives with solid waste so those

1:31:36 ↗ are discussions that we're having uh we

1:31:38 ↗ we can't wait much longer uh we need to

1:31:40 ↗ free up that resource that the council

1:31:42 ↗ so generously has provided to work on

1:31:45 ↗ some of these IAP projects and not just

1:31:48 ↗ call why hasn't someone's garbage been

1:31:50 ↗ picked up day after day after day um and

1:31:53 ↗ we are I'll say I am on behalf of the

1:31:56 ↗ mayor at the end of my rope with that

1:31:59 ↗ and so uh we are the active discussions

1:32:02 ↗ we will wrap these things up shortly and

1:32:03 ↗ as we talk about the budget in the early

1:32:06 ↗ fall we'll have more information at that

1:32:09 ↗ point any more questions council member

1:32:11 ↗ just one more that's then I know there's

1:32:14 ↗ some others thank you for saying that

1:32:15 ↗ City administrat too I appreciate um the

1:32:18 ↗ last one was there were a few areas it

1:32:21 ↗ seemed like buildings and energy

1:32:23 ↗ Community well-being and resilience

1:32:25 ↗ where you mentioned it's difficult to

1:32:27 ↗ track these particular metrics

1:32:30 ↗ associated with the actions that we want

1:32:31 ↗ are the targets that we want

1:32:34 ↗ um I'm just curious what's to be done

1:32:36 ↗ about that because you've you've

1:32:38 ↗ highlighted that these two in particular

1:32:40 ↗ are really important to focus on in the

1:32:43 ↗ coming years does it make sense to

1:32:45 ↗ re-evaluate how we're measuring to um

1:32:50 ↗ around these actions or is there value

1:32:53 ↗ and keeping it the way it is and just

1:32:55 ↗ saying it's going to be challenging MH

1:32:58 ↗ yeah I'll speak um particularly to the

1:33:00 ↗ community resilience and well-being

1:33:01 ↗ where the target there is 100% of our

1:33:04 ↗ population is served um during a time of

1:33:07 ↗ emergency I'm paraphrasing um and in

1:33:10 ↗ consultation with our emergency manager

1:33:12 ↗ that we don't currently have a way to

1:33:14 ↗ track that he has different metrics that

1:33:16 ↗ are showing where we're making progress

1:33:18 ↗ or that we're reaching members of the

1:33:20 ↗ community that may not have been reached

1:33:22 ↗ in the past um um but right now we don't

1:33:25 ↗ have a great metric to overall measure

1:33:27 ↗ progress towards that Target um and so I

1:33:30 ↗ think that is a target we may revisit

1:33:33 ↗ with the next IAP update to see if

1:33:35 ↗ there's something more reflective of

1:33:37 ↗ where we want to go or do we need to

1:33:39 ↗ come up with a number of different

1:33:40 ↗ metrics that will show progress towards

1:33:42 ↗ that Target um so we're doing what we

1:33:45 ↗ can to capture where that progress is

1:33:47 ↗ being made but there may be some

1:33:49 ↗ revisiting to more um uh tie together

1:33:52 ↗ the actions and the Target in

1:33:58 ↗ this and I didn't see who was up next is

1:34:00 ↗ it council member

1:34:03 ↗ hunt great does anybody else have their

1:34:05 ↗ microphone up at this point in time okay

1:34:08 ↗ hunt um well a version of this question

1:34:11 ↗ or very similar question was just asked

1:34:14 ↗ but um there was the the goal of um

1:34:18 ↗ making sure that our most vulnerable

1:34:20 ↗ populations are um are have have

1:34:23 ↗ resources in the event of climate

1:34:26 ↗ disaster and that they're um and that

1:34:30 ↗ that is a future action and so I I

1:34:32 ↗ wondered why the resiliency hubs aren't

1:34:37 ↗ um

1:34:38 ↗ considered uh working towards that goal

1:34:41 ↗ it seems like an important goal and it

1:34:42 ↗ currently has only future actions but we

1:34:44 ↗ are working on these resiliency hubs so

1:34:47 ↗ wanted to uh dig into that a little bit

1:34:49 ↗ more yeah that's a great question I

1:34:51 ↗ think part of it is we may not we may

1:34:54 ↗ have counted kind of our work on

1:34:55 ↗ resilience hubs under other actions and

1:34:58 ↗ maybe not specifically tied um to that

1:35:00 ↗ particular action but I can look back at

1:35:02 ↗ what we're reporting in the dashboard

1:35:04 ↗ and if we need to kind of revisit um we

1:35:07 ↗ have a number of different projects that

1:35:09 ↗ I would say are helping us towards

1:35:11 ↗ progress um that we may not have a be

1:35:14 ↗ reflecting very well um in the progress

1:35:16 ↗ on those actions so we'll take a look at

1:35:18 ↗ that again okay um yeah I think that you

1:35:22 ↗ you mentioned the resil I goal of 100%

1:35:26 ↗ of the community serves that's hard to

1:35:28 ↗ make to know how much progress we've

1:35:30 ↗ made but it seems like that's both super

1:35:32 ↗ important that we make progress on that

1:35:34 ↗ and um and that you are actively doing

1:35:38 ↗ projects towards that goal so I think uh

1:35:41 ↗ reconciling those things in terms of

1:35:43 ↗ making sure the metric is reflecting the

1:35:45 ↗ progress that you're you're making on

1:35:47 ↗ those um would be helpful so that we can

1:35:51 ↗ know how much of our you know especially

1:35:53 ↗ our most vulnerable Community will be

1:35:56 ↗ able to be served if there is a climate

1:35:58 ↗ disaster um so that's one question and

1:36:01 ↗ kind of led into that comment sorry

1:36:03 ↗ about that um one other thing there was

1:36:06 ↗ uh in 2023 I believe um may have been

1:36:10 ↗ earlier we had we began a program with

1:36:14 ↗ McDonald Miller to um work on uh clean

1:36:19 ↗ buildings I know that's one of the

1:36:20 ↗ focuses going forwards is working with

1:36:22 ↗ our community to work on existing

1:36:25 ↗ buildings and um and make them more

1:36:27 ↗ energy efficient so I wondered if you

1:36:29 ↗ could give an update on that program and

1:36:31 ↗ if that that uh program or similar

1:36:34 ↗ programs is how you're going to continue

1:36:36 ↗ to make progress in that area or if

1:36:37 ↗ there are additional things that we

1:36:39 ↗ could be doing in that area yeah great

1:36:42 ↗ question thank you um we started the

1:36:43 ↗ clean building incentive program in

1:36:47 ↗ 2022 um in that program as a refresher

1:36:50 ↗ is working with uh commercial as well as

1:36:52 ↗ nonprofit buildings um as well as our

1:36:55 ↗ own City buildings both to help to get

1:36:57 ↗ into compliance with the state's clean

1:36:59 ↗ building performance standards but also

1:37:01 ↗ to it help all buildings um in advancing

1:37:05 ↗ Energy Efficiency electrification and

1:37:08 ↗ Renewables um we it has been slow

1:37:11 ↗ rolling out and we're finding this uh

1:37:13 ↗ both from Department of Commerce who

1:37:14 ↗ manages clean building performance

1:37:16 ↗ standards as well as other cities um

1:37:18 ↗ that have their own incentive programs

1:37:21 ↗ um it is taking multiple tou touch

1:37:23 ↗ points with property managers or

1:37:25 ↗ building owners um to engage them in the

1:37:28 ↗ program however we are starting to see

1:37:31 ↗ an uptake an uptick in terms of

1:37:33 ↗ participation in the program and we have

1:37:35 ↗ around 40 um buildings that are

1:37:38 ↗ currently enrolled in that program and

1:37:40 ↗ have just made some uh good

1:37:41 ↗ breakthroughs with large Property Owners

1:37:44 ↗ um that program has also been really

1:37:46 ↗ beneficial in our relationship with the

1:37:48 ↗ school district um we've supported them

1:37:51 ↗ in doing assessments of all their

1:37:52 ↗ buildings which is

1:37:54 ↗ um in been a part of the bond measure

1:37:56 ↗ that they're putting out to come into

1:37:57 ↗ compliance with the clean buildings

1:37:59 ↗ performance standard um so happy we

1:38:02 ↗ provided a very brief summary um of the

1:38:06 ↗ um benchmarks for that program with in

1:38:09 ↗ the detailed report uh included in our

1:38:12 ↗ packet but happy to put together a more

1:38:14 ↗ in-depth report on the progress of that

1:38:17 ↗ uh

1:38:18 ↗ program okay I think that would be great

1:38:20 ↗ I think that when when we first um

1:38:24 ↗ uh began that program it was you know a

1:38:27 ↗ a it was a sort of pilot or a new

1:38:29 ↗ program and so you know getting that

1:38:31 ↗ data back about how it's going would be

1:38:32 ↗ beneficial if we're going to continue to

1:38:35 ↗ do that sort of a program and uh that's

1:38:37 ↗ one of the benefits of doing it as a

1:38:38 ↗ more like a pilot um last question it

1:38:42 ↗ was mentioned a couple times that waste

1:38:44 ↗ our metrics on waste um something like

1:38:49 ↗ that our metrics on waste don't really

1:38:50 ↗ match what we said I don't know

1:38:53 ↗ something about the framing of the I cap

1:38:54 ↗ versus what we're measuring with waste I

1:38:57 ↗ also noticed that the waste is all in

1:38:59 ↗ percentage diverted but I wondered about

1:39:01 ↗ how we're doing on absolute quantity

1:39:02 ↗ which also seems like if we're diverting

1:39:05 ↗ diverting more but also making a lot

1:39:07 ↗ more waste that is also important to

1:39:09 ↗ know um so I wondered if you could uh

1:39:11 ↗ explain what you meant by that more and

1:39:13 ↗ then also address the your quantity of

1:39:16 ↗ weight sure yeah I can speak to the

1:39:18 ↗ Target it's written two different ways

1:39:21 ↗ in the the IAP um one way it's presented

1:39:24 ↗ is 70% increase in waste diverted from

1:39:27 ↗ landfills and the other way is um 70% of

1:39:30 ↗ waste diverted from landfills um so

1:39:33 ↗ those have very different meanings I

1:39:36 ↗ think we're actually very close to

1:39:37 ↗ meeting the 70% increase um and so

1:39:41 ↗ that's something we want to reconcile uh

1:39:43 ↗ in the uh next version of the IAP where

1:39:45 ↗ I think what was probably intended was

1:39:47 ↗ the

1:39:49 ↗ 70% um and then in terms of the sheer

1:39:52 ↗ quantity

1:39:54 ↗ is that the the other question um I'd

1:39:56 ↗ have to go back and look at that data we

1:40:00 ↗ do receive um monthly reports I believe

1:40:03 ↗ from rology so we can provide um that

1:40:06 ↗ typ okay great yeah that seems like

1:40:09 ↗ that's uh similar to the two ways that

1:40:12 ↗ it's measuring if you're diverting 70%

1:40:15 ↗ or increasing the amount diverted also

1:40:18 ↗ would want to know how much is just the

1:40:21 ↗ absolute value of how much is going

1:40:25 ↗ thank you any other council members with

1:40:27 ↗ any

1:40:30 ↗ questions well wow what a great

1:40:33 ↗ presentation you and your team really

1:40:35 ↗ show your expertise and your passion

1:40:37 ↗ about this um process and this plan and

1:40:40 ↗ I am very very grateful um I also want

1:40:44 ↗ to just give you a big big thank you for

1:40:46 ↗ your work across departments it's some

1:40:48 ↗ of the best that I've seen so I'm really

1:40:50 ↗ excited about what you're doing and hope

1:40:53 ↗ that Nick feels better soon sorry we

1:40:55 ↗ couldn't see you tonight Nick so thank

1:40:57 ↗ you very

1:40:59 ↗ much I thought would and we're now going

1:41:02 ↗ to go to other comments other

1:41:07 ↗ comments

1:41:09 ↗ okay um sorry I just wanted to uh on a

1:41:12 ↗ couple of things I wanted to uh follow

1:41:14 ↗ up on council member Hall's uh comments

1:41:17 ↗ about uh multifam diversion rates

1:41:20 ↗ personally as a multif family resident I

1:41:23 ↗ was really appalled I mean we are

1:41:25 ↗ failing there and so um uh I would

1:41:29 ↗ really welcome the discussion about

1:41:31 ↗ whether or not we can uh change City

1:41:34 ↗ policy uh it's my understanding and

1:41:36 ↗ correct me if I'm wrong but it's my

1:41:38 ↗ understanding that each of the multi

1:41:40 ↗ family uh properties make their own

1:41:42 ↗ decision about what they offer I think

1:41:44 ↗ we obviously need to start to

1:41:46 ↗ standardize that and um also do a lot

1:41:50 ↗ more uh require a lot more of uh public

1:41:54 ↗ education on how to do it I think uh at

1:41:57 ↗ least in my complex a lot of people

1:42:00 ↗ don't even understand how it is done or

1:42:03 ↗ how it should be done and uh I just see

1:42:06 ↗ a lot of things being thrown into

1:42:09 ↗ recycling that shouldn't be in recycling

1:42:11 ↗ and and so um anyway I personally I'm

1:42:15 ↗ just speaking for myself but I would

1:42:16 ↗ welcome a discussion about what kind of

1:42:18 ↗ policy we might want to adopt that we

1:42:20 ↗ think would be effective in raising the

1:42:22 ↗ rates believe in isqua that we have

1:42:25 ↗ somewhere between 43 and 49% of our

1:42:28 ↗ residences are multif family we have a

1:42:30 ↗ large percentage so that would be a huge

1:42:33 ↗ change if we can start to get those

1:42:35 ↗ rates up so just wanted to say that I

1:42:38 ↗ would welcome that

1:42:39 ↗ discussion um on the Transportation uh

1:42:43 ↗ you know I've been a long time advocate

1:42:45 ↗ for transportation demand management and

1:42:47 ↗ so so I will just say and I realize that

1:42:50 ↗ we're going to have a really tough

1:42:52 ↗ budget discussion this year year there's

1:42:53 ↗ a lot of people saying we need more

1:42:56 ↗ people or we need more capacity um but I

1:43:00 ↗ just want to put that out there when

1:43:01 ↗ we're talking about Partnerships there

1:43:03 ↗ is an organization and you and again if

1:43:06 ↗ you've already done this just correct me

1:43:08 ↗ and let me know but there is an

1:43:09 ↗ organization in Seattle called

1:43:11 ↗ transportation choices that is um a a

1:43:14 ↗ private organization but their job is

1:43:17 ↗ encouraging people to take transit there

1:43:20 ↗ was at one point a chapter of uh trans

1:43:23 ↗ transportation choices here on the east

1:43:24 ↗ side and I was active in that group at

1:43:26 ↗ that time it's since gone defunct I'm

1:43:28 ↗ just wondering when we're reaching out

1:43:30 ↗ and looking for partners if we might not

1:43:33 ↗ talk to transportation choices and see

1:43:35 ↗ if they could come and talk to us about

1:43:37 ↗ how we can energize our community maybe

1:43:39 ↗ get a Grassroots efforts going I know we

1:43:42 ↗ have a few like Dave Wagner at the

1:43:43 ↗ senior center does those beautiful bus

1:43:46 ↗ you know tours and encourages senior

1:43:50 ↗ senior citizens to ride the bus but we

1:43:52 ↗ need to do more more to get people out

1:43:54 ↗ of their cars onto Transit using Transit

1:43:58 ↗ and I've been personally encouraged by

1:43:59 ↗ what Metro is doing in the area of

1:44:02 ↗ safety and cleanliness on their buses

1:44:04 ↗ they are really putting a focus on that

1:44:06 ↗ right now so uh I think this is a good

1:44:08 ↗ time for us to start to promote using

1:44:11 ↗ Transit as an alternative to single

1:44:14 ↗ occupancy Vehicles so um that would just

1:44:16 ↗ be a suggestion I think we ought to

1:44:18 ↗ follow up on and see how we can just

1:44:20 ↗ energize that whole idea of get on the

1:44:23 ↗ bus get out of your car get get on the

1:44:25 ↗ bus so those are my comments thank you

1:44:27 ↗ very much and it was a great

1:44:30 ↗ presentation uh council member

1:44:33 ↗ H thank you yes this represent

1:44:35 ↗ represents a lot of hard work and a lot

1:44:37 ↗ of uh success and I and that is great

1:44:39 ↗ and um and it's very important Milestone

1:44:43 ↗ because this is the first ever IAP and

1:44:45 ↗ this is the first uh major check-in so

1:44:48 ↗ firstly just yeah thank you so much for

1:44:50 ↗ all of your work and all of the

1:44:51 ↗ community members work that are holding

1:44:52 ↗ us accountable to making progress on

1:44:55 ↗ this um one of the things uh that was

1:44:59 ↗ mentioned but just be is repeating is

1:45:02 ↗ the uh clean energy transformation act

1:45:04 ↗ the Ceda is not going to continue to

1:45:08 ↗ provide us with this downward trajectory

1:45:10 ↗ so even when we assume our current

1:45:13 ↗ trajectory that won't uh allow us to hit

1:45:16 ↗ our Target that also um assumes that

1:45:20 ↗ we'll we will be making up that

1:45:22 ↗ difference with local actions which is

1:45:25 ↗ uh different than what we've been able

1:45:27 ↗ to achieve so far so even achieving that

1:45:30 ↗ current trajectory will be um requiring

1:45:33 ↗ additional local action um so lots more

1:45:36 ↗ creativity there um but I think that's

1:45:39 ↗ important to to point

1:45:41 ↗ out

1:45:43 ↗ um some of the other things that I just

1:45:46 ↗ wanted to mention Metroflex I think has

1:45:49 ↗ been very successful I agree with

1:45:51 ↗ council member D Michelle I recently

1:45:53 ↗ took the the bus into Seattle is very

1:45:55 ↗ clean and we should definitely be

1:45:56 ↗ encouraging that and it was it was great

1:45:59 ↗ um didn't have to look for parking in

1:46:01 ↗ Seattle um so I I think we should

1:46:03 ↗ definitely be encouraging that but I

1:46:05 ↗ also think Metroflex has been very

1:46:07 ↗ successful we recently saw um that data

1:46:11 ↗ back about the large uptick in use now

1:46:14 ↗ that it's kind of catching on and people

1:46:15 ↗ know about it and are able to use it um

1:46:18 ↗ so wanted to make a another mention of

1:46:21 ↗ the Highlands as a community that could

1:46:23 ↗ really benefit from this and uh advocacy

1:46:26 ↗ continued advocacy to um Metro for

1:46:30 ↗ expanding our service area to include

1:46:31 ↗ the highlands and I also do this on

1:46:33 ↗ behalf of uh council president Walsh who

1:46:35 ↗ I know would want to make sure that we

1:46:38 ↗ uh mentioned that because I do think

1:46:40 ↗ that's important for our whole Community

1:46:41 ↗ to be able to take advantage of that and

1:46:43 ↗ it's one of our more successful I think

1:46:46 ↗ efforts to get people out of um the

1:46:49 ↗ traditional single single occupancy

1:46:52 ↗ vehicle trips

1:46:55 ↗ um we are tomorrow talking about Title

1:46:58 ↗ 18

1:46:59 ↗ amendments um these are mostly things

1:47:02 ↗ that have come up over the course of

1:47:05 ↗ this last year um where implementation

1:47:08 ↗ needs to be adjusted um but I I think we

1:47:13 ↗ can also take into account the impact

1:47:16 ↗ that title 18 those changes has on um on

1:47:20 ↗ the climate and on our ability to

1:47:22 ↗ achieve these goals while we're doing

1:47:24 ↗ that review um so I will be keeping that

1:47:26 ↗ in mind and then lastly uh the climate

1:47:30 ↗ resiliency and especially the resiliency

1:47:33 ↗ for vulnerable populations is something

1:47:34 ↗ that I think is really important so I

1:47:37 ↗ would I know it's on your to-do list to

1:47:39 ↗ look at that metric and make sure we

1:47:41 ↗ have a metric we can actually track um

1:47:43 ↗ but I think that that's that's super

1:47:45 ↗ important we've just been having

1:47:46 ↗ recently a lot more conversations about

1:47:48 ↗ evacuation routes for wildfires and we U

1:47:52 ↗ increased Wild bar risk relative to

1:47:54 ↗ where we were you know even when I

1:47:55 ↗ started on Council um so I think that's

1:47:58 ↗ that's really important that we make

1:48:00 ↗ sure that we're tracking progress on

1:48:02 ↗ that in a meaningful way and also making

1:48:03 ↗ meaningful progress on that which I

1:48:05 ↗ believe you are doing it's just that the

1:48:07 ↗ metric isn't quite matching up so that's

1:48:09 ↗ one area that I would really encourage a

1:48:11 ↗ a quick update so we can make sure that

1:48:13 ↗ we're tracking that thank you again

1:48:16 ↗ thank you council member hunt any other

1:48:17 ↗ council

1:48:19 ↗ members right um council member hunt

1:48:22 ↗ made a really a good point that I forgot

1:48:23 ↗ to make in in thanking you and that is

1:48:26 ↗ your use of data you know the city has

1:48:29 ↗ really really really embraced data in

1:48:31 ↗ all of our operations but in your work

1:48:33 ↗ in particular it really shows so thank

1:48:36 ↗ you very much for doing that that's

1:48:38 ↗ great okay any more comments great well

1:48:42 ↗ thank you thank you to the whole team

1:48:45 ↗ the next informational uh item is ID

1:48:48 ↗ 1747 it is an update from the 2020 it is

1:48:51 ↗ the 2023 isqua Police Department year

1:48:54 ↗ end report and I'd like to invite the

1:48:56 ↗ chief up to the podium

1:49:35 ↗ just handing a few items out in the

1:49:37 ↗ chamber before we start

1:50:07 ↗ getting started um passing those out uh

1:50:10 ↗ you all got a lot in your packet but as

1:50:12 ↗ well as just providing you sunscreen

1:50:14 ↗ that we are giving out to our staff to

1:50:17 ↗ make sure that in this hot sun we're

1:50:19 ↗ staying protected thank you for having

1:50:21 ↗ us this evening going to give an update

1:50:23 ↗ regarding the 2023 activities and the

1:50:25 ↗ crime stats for the police department

1:50:30 ↗ specifically the data presented in this

1:50:32 ↗ update pres presentation is available in

1:50:34 ↗ the esqua police department's 2023

1:50:36 ↗ annual report which will be available on

1:50:38 ↗ our website this document gives data

1:50:40 ↗ closing out

1:50:42 ↗ 2023 but if you are the public are

1:50:44 ↗ interested in more recent data we

1:50:45 ↗ include much of this in the monthly

1:50:47 ↗ reports which are updated on our website

1:50:49 ↗ as well that's the other single sheet

1:50:51 ↗ that um Ryan is also handing out as well

1:50:59 ↗ thanks going over some overall crime

1:51:01 ↗ Trends overall crime was relatively low

1:51:04 ↗ in the city of isqua in 2023 with

1:51:06 ↗ roughly 74.5 crimes per thousand

1:51:09 ↗ population and a 7.2% decrease in total

1:51:13 ↗ crime incidents from the previous year

1:51:16 ↗ majority of our crimes comes from

1:51:19 ↗ property with nearly 66% of all crime in

1:51:22 ↗ the city of isqua falling into the

1:51:24 ↗ crimes against property category with

1:51:27 ↗ 1932 incidents out of the total 2932

1:51:31 ↗ incidents being property crimes when we

1:51:34 ↗ compare these crime categories over the

1:51:35 ↗ last few years for the first time in

1:51:37 ↗ over four

1:51:38 ↗ years and the first time in this decade

1:51:41 ↗ the number of property crimes has begun

1:51:43 ↗ to reverse in Trend with a 14.6%

1:51:46 ↗ decrease compared to our Peak estimates

1:51:48 ↗ in

1:51:50 ↗ 2022 however while there have been

1:51:52 ↗ success in addressing property crimes

1:51:54 ↗ there were slight increases in both

1:51:56 ↗ crimes against person and against

1:51:58 ↗ Society specifically those um regarding

1:52:01 ↗ aggravated assaults weapon offenses

1:52:04 ↗ vandalism and

1:52:09 ↗ graffiti thus far in 2014 property

1:52:12 ↗ crimes still hold the majority share of

1:52:14 ↗ crimes in isqua however property crimes

1:52:17 ↗ are still

1:52:18 ↗ decreasing we believe this is in part

1:52:20 ↗ related to The increased Partnerships

1:52:22 ↗ with local businesses and our increased

1:52:24 ↗ directed Patrol

1:52:26 ↗ missions in response to the increase

1:52:28 ↗ last year in crimes against society and

1:52:30 ↗ persons we have been working to get more

1:52:32 ↗ officers on the road and visible in the

1:52:34 ↗ community to act as a deterrent in some

1:52:36 ↗ of the crimes where we have been seeing

1:52:38 ↗ increases so really dedicating some of

1:52:42 ↗ those and some of those are even in our

1:52:44 ↗ retail areas doing blitzes and such with

1:52:46 ↗ those businesses part of this is in

1:52:49 ↗ thanks to our increase in Staffing

1:52:50 ↗ levels which allows us to take more

1:52:51 ↗ calls and respond to more calls in a

1:52:53 ↗ faster

1:52:56 ↗ fashion I'll briefly touch base on

1:52:58 ↗ updates in each division within the

1:53:00 ↗ police department and I'm going to start

1:53:02 ↗ with the data division of dispatch

1:53:07 ↗ themselves our Dispatch Center is an

1:53:09 ↗ incredibly busy place where our 12

1:53:11 ↗ dispatchers and dispatch supervisor

1:53:13 ↗ field emergency and non-emergency calls

1:53:15 ↗ for three

1:53:16 ↗ jurisdictions in

1:53:18 ↗ 2023 there were

1:53:22 ↗ for service in the isqua Dispatch Center

1:53:25 ↗ just over 35,000 of those calls or 63%

1:53:29 ↗ were for the isqua residents Alone by

1:53:32 ↗ emergency status 77% of the calls were

1:53:35 ↗ classified as not emergency status in

1:53:37 ↗ 2023 with approximately 43,000 calls to

1:53:40 ↗ the Dispatch

1:53:42 ↗ Center 2024 year to date 20,000 calls

1:53:46 ↗ for service as of May comparable to

1:53:49 ↗ Prior um last year's

1:53:52 ↗ our dispatch also processes warrants

1:53:55 ↗ protection orders and runs continuous

1:53:57 ↗ research for officers in the field our

1:54:00 ↗ dispatchers proce or processed 2346

1:54:03 ↗ warrants last year Each of which takes

1:54:06 ↗ anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes of time

1:54:09 ↗ for every single warrant plus additional

1:54:12 ↗ review and validation time because

1:54:14 ↗ everyone that's entered has to be

1:54:15 ↗ reviewed by a second dispatcher to make

1:54:16 ↗ sure all the information is completely

1:54:19 ↗ accurate 323 protection orders were also

1:54:22 ↗ processed and there were nearly 419,000

1:54:25 ↗ research inquiries made on behalf of

1:54:28 ↗ officers in the field on calls for all

1:54:31 ↗ three jurisdictions totaling roughly

1:54:34 ↗ 1147 inquiries per day processed in our

1:54:37 ↗ Dispatch

1:54:43 ↗ Center as for our men and women and

1:54:46 ↗ Patrol they work hard to answer every

1:54:48 ↗ call quickly it is common practice for

1:54:50 ↗ police departments to classify calls

1:54:52 ↗ based on priority levels all calls are

1:54:55 ↗ responded to but not all of them require

1:54:57 ↗ the same type of response if that makes

1:54:59 ↗ sense if we look at all calls it took

1:55:01 ↗ roughly 15 minutes to respond but those

1:55:04 ↗ are not all emergency calls in

1:55:06 ↗ 2023 ipd's average response time for a

1:55:10 ↗ priority One emergency call was 3

1:55:12 ↗ minutes and 12 seconds in 2024 year to

1:55:15 ↗ date the average response time for

1:55:17 ↗ Priority One Call is approximately 3

1:55:20 ↗ minutes exactly

1:55:22 ↗ as this Quest population increases and

1:55:25 ↗ more pedestrians bikes scooters and

1:55:27 ↗ vehicles join the roads and sidewalks

1:55:29 ↗ our traffic team is a vital tool to

1:55:32 ↗ ensuring everyone moves safely through

1:55:34 ↗ the city in 2023 officers responded to

1:55:37 ↗ 255 reported accidents that required

1:55:41 ↗ police intervention or assistance and

1:55:43 ↗ tended to 1946 traffic

1:55:46 ↗ violations also important to note not

1:55:49 ↗ all reports or for service come via a

1:55:52 ↗ call into our Dispatch Center in 2023

1:55:56 ↗ there were over 703 online

1:55:58 ↗ reports this is um excuse

1:56:03 ↗ me this is an increase of 12.4% from the

1:56:06 ↗ prior year each one of those reports in

1:56:09 ↗ the investigation and documentation for

1:56:11 ↗ each are all conducted by one officer

1:56:13 ↗ alone and that's officer officer John

1:56:16 ↗ Lindner he feels not only the online

1:56:18 ↗ reports but also all inperson reports

1:56:21 ↗ phone reports to the station as well he

1:56:23 ↗ often handles when he's on duty and he

1:56:26 ↗ handles all the speed camera violations

1:56:28 ↗ that we get in our

1:56:30 ↗ city moving to

1:56:34 ↗ investigations our detectives conduct a

1:56:36 ↗ broad spectrum of criminal

1:56:37 ↗ investigations which include robberies

1:56:39 ↗ burglaries assaults fraud computer

1:56:41 ↗ crimes death investigations sexual

1:56:43 ↗ assaults missing persons among other

1:56:45 ↗ types of

1:56:46 ↗ crimes in 2023 there were nearly 300

1:56:49 ↗ cases handled by our two detectives and

1:56:51 ↗ one sergeant who was there half the year

1:56:54 ↗ before retiring the rest of the year was

1:56:56 ↗ entirely responded to and handled by our

1:56:58 ↗ only and our loone two

1:57:00 ↗ detectives in the same year we brought

1:57:03 ↗ on a new detective Sergeant hubero to

1:57:05 ↗ lead the team who started in January

1:57:08 ↗ 2024 there was a 2% or 2% Point increase

1:57:12 ↗ in the case closure rate compared to

1:57:16 ↗ 2022 but a

1:57:18 ↗ 31.5% increase in the actual cases in

1:57:21 ↗ 201 23 thus far year to date in

1:57:25 ↗ 2024 there have been 178 cases under

1:57:28 ↗ investigation by detectives setting us

1:57:31 ↗ up for an estimated near 20% increase by

1:57:34 ↗ the end of the

1:57:35 ↗ year with the increases in cases for the

1:57:38 ↗ two detectives they've done extremely

1:57:40 ↗ well by leveraging resources and

1:57:42 ↗ partnering agencies to maintain

1:57:43 ↗ comparable case closure estimates thus

1:57:47 ↗ far moving on to

1:57:49 ↗ records that's a lot of information do

1:57:51 ↗ you want me to take a break and ask some

1:57:53 ↗ questions opportunity before I continue

1:57:55 ↗ let's go to council member

1:57:58 ↗ hunt oh was it Hall first sorry council

1:58:01 ↗ member Hall followed by council member

1:58:03 ↗ Marts and then Deputy council president

1:58:05 ↗ thank you um two slides previous um

1:58:09 ↗ where you talk about the average

1:58:10 ↗ response time I just want to take a

1:58:12 ↗ second to acknowledge the significance

1:58:15 ↗ of this I mean what's the secret sauce

1:58:16 ↗ how did you get it down so it's 3

1:58:18 ↗ minutes now year to date 2024 is that

1:58:21 ↗ that where you're saying I'm just

1:58:22 ↗ curious what what you're attributing

1:58:24 ↗ that to what we can take away as policy

1:58:26 ↗ makers from that what is leading to a

1:58:28 ↗ decreased um response time for me I

1:58:32 ↗ would say that's probably the officers

1:58:33 ↗ actually on the street that we actually

1:58:34 ↗ have more so they're covering the

1:58:36 ↗ different districts so if a call for

1:58:38 ↗ services emergent we have an officer

1:58:39 ↗ already there versus having to come

1:58:41 ↗ across town and that would I would say

1:58:43 ↗ the biggest thing is to be the increase

1:58:44 ↗ in our numbers

1:58:45 ↗ for keeping those numbers down as far as

1:58:48 ↗ that response because that's from the

1:58:49 ↗ call time we get the call to where an

1:58:51 ↗ officer's actually on scene now that

1:58:53 ↗ doesn't mean those other officers that

1:58:54 ↗ are still coming to assist don't take a

1:58:56 ↗ little longer but that's actual some a

1:58:58 ↗ person on scene and I would attribute

1:59:00 ↗ that to

1:59:02 ↗ Staffing

1:59:04 ↗ question marks thank you um Chief when

1:59:07 ↗ you say that crime is low um do we can

1:59:10 ↗ do we have the ability to compare uh our

1:59:13 ↗ crime rates both property and personal

1:59:15 ↗ crime to Kirkland Redmond baffle other

1:59:18 ↗ comparable cities on the east side yes

1:59:21 ↗ we do we do have that option I don't

1:59:23 ↗ have that data at my fingertips right

1:59:24 ↗ now but we do have that option um and

1:59:26 ↗ ability that I can get for you and we

1:59:28 ↗ can report back for sure we'd love to

1:59:30 ↗ know that also um that I love that 96%

1:59:33 ↗ closure rate um for investigations by

1:59:35 ↗ our detectives wondering how that also

1:59:37 ↗ you know compares to other uh

1:59:39 ↗ municipalities that as well sure thank

1:59:42 ↗ you Deputy council

1:59:45 ↗ president U this is a 101 question but

1:59:49 ↗ uh when I was reading the report uh how

1:59:50 ↗ does somebody become a detective and uh

1:59:53 ↗ do they rotate or um are we once they're

1:59:57 ↗ designated as a detective is that a a

2:00:00 ↗ designation that they carry forward or

2:00:02 ↗ how does that how does that whole

2:00:03 ↗ process work excellent question uh it

2:00:07 ↗ it's different for different agencies so

2:00:09 ↗ for our department specifically you you

2:00:11 ↗ show an interest and then we do a

2:00:12 ↗ testing process you have to have been on

2:00:14 ↗ the department for more than three years

2:00:16 ↗ and establish yourself as a police

2:00:18 ↗ officer and your investigative regular

2:00:20 ↗ police activity skills and going out and

2:00:22 ↗ you're kind of detective in and of

2:00:24 ↗ itself when you're responding to calls

2:00:26 ↗ but to do that as your specialty

2:00:28 ↗ assignments and all our detectives are

2:00:30 ↗ on different task force for example one

2:00:33 ↗ of our detectives gets a lot of extra

2:00:34 ↗ training and she's on the major crimes

2:00:36 ↗ task force which is a collect of all the

2:00:38 ↗ small cities and then we have the other

2:00:40 ↗ detectiv he's on our IIT team so he's an

2:00:43 ↗ investigator for the IIT which they have

2:00:45 ↗ a complete requirement on the different

2:00:48 ↗ trainings that you're required to have

2:00:50 ↗ before you can be a lead investigator

2:00:51 ↗ for that fit program as well and so

2:00:53 ↗ that's when an inant for example a

2:00:55 ↗ couple instance we had in our jail that

2:00:57 ↗ we have other teams come and they have

2:00:58 ↗ to do those investigations and so we

2:01:01 ↗ collaborate with other agencies but it's

2:01:03 ↗ a a mass amount of Education they get

2:01:05 ↗ and training to be a detective um put

2:01:07 ↗ your question as far as the part for

2:01:09 ↗ rotation and how long you stay some

2:01:11 ↗ agencies have it to where some are a

2:01:13 ↗ designated Civil Service spot to where

2:01:15 ↗ you're in that position or you have that

2:01:17 ↗ option so or one or more positions can

2:01:19 ↗ be in a detectives area for permanency

2:01:23 ↗ once you get into that role um others

2:01:25 ↗ that you don't and so for ours um it's

2:01:28 ↗ that you can be in that role for three

2:01:29 ↗ year up to three years with um um two

2:01:32 ↗ one-year extensions is how it reads in

2:01:34 ↗ our policy currently because you like

2:01:36 ↗ that option to have people to be able to

2:01:39 ↗ stand in there because they have that

2:01:40 ↗ experience but you also want to be able

2:01:42 ↗ to have grow all your uh staff that way

2:01:45 ↗ that are interested in those um

2:01:47 ↗ processes and growing of their education

2:01:50 ↗ and being a police officer down the road

2:01:53 ↗ y uh nobody else with a microphone up oh

2:01:57 ↗ council member Joe thank you chief for

2:02:00 ↗ uh coming to the meeting to give a

2:02:02 ↗ presentation I'd like to ask about

2:02:04 ↗ retail theft a little bit uh the mayor

2:02:06 ↗ was kind enough to uh come to to our

2:02:09 ↗ Rotary Club and give us a state of the

2:02:11 ↗ city address last Tuesday I appreciate

2:02:14 ↗ that thank you uh she did mentioned that

2:02:16 ↗ retail theft continues to be a challenge

2:02:18 ↗ I know that we have the retail loss

2:02:20 ↗ prevention business group that uh we

2:02:22 ↗ work with can you give a little more

2:02:24 ↗ information about the steps we're taking

2:02:26 ↗ to try to address that here in

2:02:29 ↗ isiga thank you for the question we have

2:02:32 ↗ multiple different things several of our

2:02:34 ↗ staff including Ryan Smith and some

2:02:37 ↗ other staff that attend those meetings

2:02:39 ↗ for the retail theft group on a regular

2:02:41 ↗ basis do presentations we bring in other

2:02:44 ↗ um people as well to speak on behalf of

2:02:46 ↗ different pieces like the prosecutors

2:02:48 ↗ and people so they know what we're

2:02:49 ↗ looking for when we are Prosecuting

2:02:51 ↗ those cases

2:02:52 ↗ um they've wanted to be in collaboration

2:02:54 ↗ with um having some blitzes in other

2:02:57 ↗ words we have a Consolidated effort and

2:02:59 ↗ sometimes they're doing them

2:03:00 ↗ individually by the businesses sometimes

2:03:02 ↗ they're doing them as a collective like

2:03:05 ↗ three businesses alt together will want

2:03:07 ↗ to do one in the same day and as being a

2:03:10 ↗ part of that we've tried to instill the

2:03:12 ↗ fact that if they're they need to work

2:03:14 ↗ with us on a regular basis for us to

2:03:15 ↗ want to collaborate and do a blitz so in

2:03:17 ↗ other words if they're not reporting

2:03:18 ↗ anything or being cooperative in when

2:03:21 ↗ they have or finding that they're having

2:03:22 ↗ theft and they have those individuals

2:03:24 ↗ that are being stopped or contacted and

2:03:27 ↗ they're not or they're calling us and

2:03:29 ↗ then we're not they're not doing

2:03:30 ↗ anything as reports um they're much more

2:03:33 ↗ reporting those instances as they come

2:03:35 ↗ in or they'll do their own investigative

2:03:38 ↗ work and then report it online so then

2:03:41 ↗ that's what's also increasing John

2:03:42 ↗ Linder and his the station officer and

2:03:44 ↗ having those reports so I think that's a

2:03:46 ↗ big piece uh our presence our officers

2:03:49 ↗ are out there regularly and they're

2:03:51 ↗ doing doing many goab abouts through and

2:03:54 ↗ that's when the staff at those

2:03:56 ↗ businesses know that we're there and in

2:03:58 ↗ the area that also is increasing our

2:04:01 ↗ response time because we're on site and

2:04:03 ↗ know that that's where things are

2:04:05 ↗ happening at on a regular basis so we're

2:04:07 ↗ a little bit closer in those in that

2:04:09 ↗ perspective thank you Chief when when

2:04:11 ↗ you say blitzes um could you explain

2:04:14 ↗ that a little bit more for the vi public

2:04:17 ↗ um I think of seven rushers going after

2:04:19 ↗ a quarterback that's probably not what

2:04:20 ↗ we're talking about here that is correct

2:04:23 ↗ uh is not what the quarterback situation

2:04:25 ↗ is uh Blitz is when we have people that

2:04:28 ↗ are might be undercover in a specific

2:04:30 ↗ location they have a lot of loss

2:04:31 ↗ prevention on staff so they're really

2:04:33 ↗ looking out for those individuals that

2:04:35 ↗ are um partaking in illegal activities

2:04:38 ↗ inside the store and so the minute that

2:04:40 ↗ takes place we have staff that are

2:04:42 ↗ designated to that specific store um for

2:04:45 ↗ that period of time we also have a

2:04:47 ↗ dispatcher and we also have a

2:04:49 ↗ corrections officer for transport so it

2:04:51 ↗ goes very quickly and when one happens

2:04:53 ↗ then we still have an officer on site

2:04:54 ↗ designated for that that's what a blitz

2:04:56 ↗ means is that we have a one day that's

2:04:58 ↗ designated with a lot of loss prevention

2:04:59 ↗ a lot of officers um but you know don't

2:05:01 ↗ know they're there the public won't see

2:05:03 ↗ that it's more for those that are

2:05:05 ↗ committing nefarious

2:05:08 ↗ activities and I know it's hard to

2:05:10 ↗ measure the the data is probably a

2:05:12 ↗ little sketchy but anecdotally anecdotic

2:05:16 ↗ have we seen a reduction in crime at

2:05:19 ↗ those businesses where blitzes were

2:05:20 ↗ conducted and has it had an effect over

2:05:23 ↗ a time period of 3 months a week a year

2:05:26 ↗ what's kind of been the experience we've

2:05:28 ↗ had after doing blitzes I don't have

2:05:31 ↗ exact data to be fair but I would say it

2:05:33 ↗ would for at least for a couple of

2:05:35 ↗ months because people know that they're

2:05:36 ↗ happening um it does deter people when

2:05:39 ↗ they know the word does get out and so

2:05:42 ↗ it has been a does a deterrent so

2:05:44 ↗ they're nice to happen more throughout

2:05:45 ↗ the year instead of just at one time and

2:05:48 ↗ so but the businesses because of the

2:05:49 ↗ retail business groups have been

2:05:51 ↗ increasing those throughout the years as

2:05:52 ↗ well so it's been helpful and it's nice

2:05:54 ↗ that we stagger them um it's not just

2:05:56 ↗ the one location that's having them done

2:05:59 ↗ thank you Chief I appreciate your

2:06:00 ↗ answers thanks for coming tonight sure

2:06:03 ↗ any other comments or questions or keep

2:06:06 ↗ going keep

2:06:12 ↗ going I think we finished we're moving

2:06:15 ↗ on there we go thank you so our records

2:06:53 ↗ the police department itself requiring

2:06:55 ↗ countless hours of review and processing

2:06:58 ↗ the records team also processed 292

2:07:01 ↗ concealed pistol licenses and 656 gun

2:07:05 ↗ purchase and

2:07:09 ↗ public records requests processed in

2:07:11 ↗ 2023 compared to Prior year while CPL

2:07:14 ↗ applications remained stable over the

2:07:16 ↗ years

2:07:21 ↗ moving on to Corrections the isqua city

2:07:24 ↗ jail contracts services for over 14

2:07:26 ↗ other jurisdictions in the area in 20203

2:07:30 ↗ there were 1611 total inmates in the

2:07:32 ↗ city of um city jail for

2:07:35 ↗ isqua with an average daily inmate

2:07:37 ↗ population of at least 53.9 inmates

2:07:41 ↗ there were many days with near 60 or

2:07:45 ↗ over

2:07:47 ↗ inmates this is a 15% increase in the

2:07:49 ↗ number of inmates cared for from

2:07:52 ↗ 2022 we are on track to have comparable

2:07:54 ↗ estimates in

2:07:56 ↗ 2024 of these 1611 inmates roughly 77%

2:08:01 ↗ were male 23% were female these

2:08:05 ↗ proportions are in line with other

2:08:06 ↗ correctional facilities and our

2:08:07 ↗ population proportions the prior

2:08:16 ↗ year well all of our officers go above

2:10:00 ↗ happening this year at ipd we got one of

2:10:03 ↗ our new vehicles and the inclusion of

2:10:07 ↗ to the increase in case closures for

2:10:10 ↗ investigations these adoption this

2:10:12 ↗ adoption of these Technologies has only

2:10:15 ↗ improved the service we provide to the

2:10:17 ↗ public as we continue move forward we

2:10:19 ↗ are focusing on filling the positions

2:10:26 ↗ over 200 hours of chiefs interviews

2:10:38 ↗ department we have successfully hired

2:10:40 ↗ several officers both for patrol and

2:10:42 ↗ Corrections which has been a tremendous

2:10:44 ↗ effort both on our staff uh for all the

2:10:48 ↗ stuff that it takes to get those people

2:11:18 ↗ questions thank you for that detailed

2:11:21 ↗ report

2:11:24 ↗ questions

2:11:25 ↗ Council council member Joe thank you um

2:11:29 ↗ I see on page 20 there's a picture of

2:11:32 ↗ the National Night Out event and that's

2:11:34 ↗ going to be in August can you tell us a

2:11:36 ↗ little bit more about the date and uh

2:11:39 ↗ what citizens can expect to see that

2:11:43 ↗ evening I don't have the same pages that

2:11:45 ↗ you have so I don't know what page 20 is

2:11:48 ↗ but I can speak that yes um we actually

2:11:50 ↗ have um coming to you guys on July 22nd

2:11:53 ↗ is going to be the proclamation for

2:11:55 ↗ National Night Out it is going to be

2:11:56 ↗ happening again this year where we have

2:11:58 ↗ several council members that I think

2:11:59 ↗ will be responding and going to several

2:12:02 ↗ of those events as well as we're also

2:12:04 ↗ going to have the event that we normally

2:12:05 ↗ have out on the back of City Hall and so

2:12:08 ↗ it's going to be another great event

2:12:10 ↗ that we're going to have different

2:12:11 ↗ resources out there and Target's going

2:12:14 ↗ to be another a great member with us

2:12:16 ↗ having games as well and participating

2:12:18 ↗ with us this year and chief thanks for

2:12:22 ↗ the facts there give the facts and only

2:12:24 ↗ the facts please um but um what kind of

2:12:28 ↗ benefits do we see for the community in

2:12:29 ↗ terms of collaboration with our police

2:12:32 ↗ officers and our other um City staff and

2:12:34 ↗ we hold these events the biggest part is

2:12:37 ↗ awareness and availability for them to

2:12:40 ↗ be able to ask questions this is a

2:12:42 ↗ national night is intended for to be a

2:12:44 ↗ collaboration and working together to

2:12:47 ↗ basically collaborate against Crime and

2:12:49 ↗ so give them resources

2:12:51 ↗ tell them about 911 educate kids about

2:12:54 ↗ 911 in different you know different

2:12:56 ↗ Avenues of the police department whether

2:12:58 ↗ it be the corrections whether it be the

2:13:00 ↗ jail whether it be Dispatch Center so

2:13:02 ↗ they know when they call 911 what that

2:13:04 ↗ looks like what they can expect when an

2:13:06 ↗ officer responds so that's the biggest

2:13:08 ↗ part and to have them be able to have a

2:13:11 ↗ conversation so our officers go out into

2:13:12 ↗ those communities that are having them

2:13:14 ↗ they have the opportunity for if they

2:13:16 ↗ don't want to necessarily talk to the

2:13:18 ↗ police officer they know that they're

2:13:19 ↗ there and available and that's the other

2:13:21 ↗ party gets us out in a more unofficial

2:13:25 ↗ setting for them to be able to

2:13:27 ↗ communicate and have conversation and

2:13:30 ↗ realize also that the officers are

2:13:31 ↗ people as well as um not just the

2:13:34 ↗ uniform thank you Chief I appreciate the

2:13:36 ↗ efforts that your Department's making to

2:13:38 ↗ do community policing and uh to make

2:13:40 ↗ sure that uh people in our community see

2:13:43 ↗ police as a friend that can help and

2:13:46 ↗ assist an emergency and not necessarily

2:13:49 ↗ um someone to U be concerned about her

2:13:51 ↗ fear uh I think council member Ray

2:13:55 ↗ talked about uh Warriors versus

2:13:57 ↗ guardians

2:13:58 ↗ or Warriors versus Guardians and I

2:14:01 ↗ appreciate the balance that your

2:14:03 ↗ department is bringing to that equation

2:14:04 ↗ thank you thank you council member

2:14:09 ↗ hun thank you for the information and

2:14:11 ↗ for the report um several years ago we

2:14:14 ↗ had an action plan and one of the

2:14:15 ↗ actions there was um a a monthly report

2:14:20 ↗ that would be available on on the

2:14:21 ↗ website with crime data so more regular

2:14:24 ↗ data available for people to know what

2:14:27 ↗ trends are happening um and what's

2:14:30 ↗ happening in different neighborhoods so

2:14:31 ↗ I wondered what's the status of the

2:14:33 ↗ online uh reports on crimes that

2:14:37 ↗ community members can access through our

2:14:39 ↗ website yep thank you the online

2:14:42 ↗ reporting is available there was a

2:14:44 ↗ glitch with our radar program which was

2:14:46 ↗ in connection with that for a short

2:14:48 ↗ period um but Ryan actually is the one

2:14:51 ↗ who puts all our stuff on the website

2:14:53 ↗ and deal and works with Communications

2:14:55 ↗ on making sure that it's up there and

2:14:57 ↗ updated regularly uh as far as they're

2:14:59 ↗ also looking at some new programs did

2:15:01 ↗ you want to speak to that at all as far

2:15:03 ↗ as looking at some data um we're looking

2:15:05 ↗ at some new innovative ways for it to be

2:15:07 ↗ more user friendly for you guys to be

2:15:08 ↗ able to and the public to be able to

2:15:10 ↗ help find that those pieces of

2:15:12 ↗ information but as of right now it is on

2:15:14 ↗ there regularly as a monthly basis the

2:15:16 ↗ following month we try and put that out

2:15:18 ↗ for the one prior um so people can go

2:15:21 ↗ research and find that data and that's

2:15:23 ↗ part of that for I think the single

2:15:25 ↗ sheet that was also listed out and we

2:15:27 ↗ can put that on the website as well for

2:15:28 ↗ people to if they're not aware that

2:15:31 ↗ where to find that out but it is on our

2:15:35 ↗ website uh council member marks thanks

2:15:39 ↗ Chief one one way to think about the ipd

2:15:42 ↗ that doesn't that isn't really touched

2:15:44 ↗ on in this report so much is around the

2:15:46 ↗ Staffing side right we all know that uh

2:15:49 ↗ the ipd went through a a low point in

2:15:52 ↗ Staffing a while back and has been

2:15:54 ↗ working its way back up but I know that

2:15:58 ↗ um and and some of these things some of

2:16:00 ↗ these things aren't really um

2:16:03 ↗ Council uh potential Council action

2:16:06 ↗ items because some of it is collective

2:16:07 ↗ bargaining and all that kind of stuff

2:16:09 ↗ but can you talk a little bit towards

2:16:10 ↗ the Staffing side of things and the

2:16:12 ↗ trend that you see um for the ipd I know

2:16:15 ↗ that you've got a lot of folks that have

2:16:16 ↗ been going through the academy bringing

2:16:18 ↗ folks in from the academy investing in

2:16:20 ↗ our trainer Program help bring those

2:16:22 ↗ candidates uh to make them successful in

2:16:24 ↗ the ipd is there is there much that you

2:16:27 ↗ can say about that side of it because I

2:16:28 ↗ think that's an important aspect and

2:16:30 ↗ certainly when you talk about being able

2:16:32 ↗ to respond in 3.2 minutes and then

2:16:34 ↗ bringing it down to three minutes you

2:16:35 ↗ know Staffing is a it's a big part of

2:16:38 ↗ that you know the secret sauce for that

2:16:40 ↗ sure thank you so in November of 21 we

2:16:45 ↗ were down a third of our staff we were

2:16:46 ↗ down 27 and that's over the whole

2:16:48 ↗ department that's not just in Patrol

2:16:49 ↗ just to be clear and so we were down 27

2:16:52 ↗ officer or 27 people and staff members

2:16:55 ↗ and so over the last Almost 3 years now

2:16:58 ↗ I can't believe I'm saying that it's

2:17:00 ↗ almost three years uh it's been a lot of

2:17:04 ↗ interviews a lot of backgrounds but it

2:17:07 ↗ used to be many years ago when I started

2:17:09 ↗ in law enforcement There Was You Know

2:17:12 ↗ 1,500 people applying for 10 positions

2:17:16 ↗ and now that's not the case anymore um

2:17:18 ↗ now it's the case where you have you

2:17:20 ↗ know you were lucky to get a full day of

2:17:22 ↗ interviews and then it's about viable

2:17:24 ↗ people because of pasts because of

2:17:26 ↗ History because of choices because of

2:17:28 ↗ good fit and so it's a long process and

2:17:31 ↗ that's for every division because

2:17:32 ↗ everybody in the police department goes

2:17:33 ↗ through the same background process so

2:17:35 ↗ it's a it's a lot of effort and a lot of

2:17:37 ↗ energy and then for an officer

2:17:39 ↗ specifically once they get hired on and

2:17:41 ↗ they're here on our staff they go

2:17:43 ↗ through rigorous training it takes N9

2:17:45 ↗ months to get someone that's brand new

2:17:47 ↗ um we've been very fortunate to get many

2:17:49 ↗ officers that are l which been very

2:17:52 ↗ thankful for and thankful to the council

2:17:54 ↗ for being supportive in having that as

2:17:56 ↗ well one of the other pieces that's a

2:17:58 ↗ huge uh part of it is our fto program

2:18:01 ↗ they spend countless hours is field

2:18:04 ↗ training thank you field training

2:18:06 ↗ officers so our fto are we only have

2:18:09 ↗ five currently in our program because as

2:18:10 ↗ you promote and you get to a sergeant

2:18:12 ↗ you're no longer field training officer

2:18:13 ↗ so we lose them as we promote them and

2:18:15 ↗ then we try and get new but losing and

2:18:17 ↗ having very young staff as well we

2:18:21 ↗ needing to grow some of those fto so

2:18:23 ↗ those um field training officers they

2:18:25 ↗ spent countless hours because the field

2:18:28 ↗ training program is a minimum of 14

2:18:30 ↗ weeks so that means they spend a month

2:18:32 ↗ with one fto so that's a month every

2:18:34 ↗ shift you came to work imagine you had

2:18:36 ↗ basically someone that you were teaching

2:18:37 ↗ to do your job every day for a month and

2:18:40 ↗ then you get another one and then you

2:18:43 ↗ get another one and so that's a lot

2:18:46 ↗ that's very difficult on our staff and

2:18:48 ↗ so I can't commend them enough for all

2:18:50 ↗ the time effort and energy and hours

2:18:51 ↗ they put in on a regular basis to um

2:18:55 ↗ train the people in the staff and they

2:18:58 ↗ have to be Innovative because not

2:18:59 ↗ everybody learns the same way so we want

2:19:01 ↗ I want our people to be successful and

2:19:03 ↗ we put a lot of time effort and money

2:19:05 ↗ into them being trained and get through

2:19:07 ↗ the academy and after they've gone

2:19:08 ↗ through the academy then they get to us

2:19:10 ↗ at the police department and then we

2:19:11 ↗ have to train them and that's the same

2:19:13 ↗ for dispatch because not everybody can

2:19:15 ↗ do these jobs they're not easy and some

2:19:18 ↗ people you know you're either drawn to

2:19:20 ↗ you know what what's going on or you

2:19:21 ↗ want to stand back and not be involved

2:19:23 ↗ and so it takes a different kind of

2:19:26 ↗ person and and being able to do that so

2:19:29 ↗ it the field training officers can't

2:19:31 ↗ thank them in enough for all they've put

2:19:33 ↗ in time and all the new staff that we

2:19:34 ↗ have over the last three years and

2:19:37 ↗ they're still doing it it's fighting the

2:19:38 ↗ good fight

2:19:40 ↗ so any other

2:19:42 ↗ questions how about

2:19:47 ↗ comments well um Chief and Ryan thank

2:19:51 ↗ you very much um I just wanted to say

2:19:54 ↗ that I'm shocked it's three years as

2:19:56 ↗ well but uh so grateful for your focus

2:19:59 ↗ on not only hiring quality staff but

2:20:02 ↗ also looking internally and promoting

2:20:04 ↗ some of our wonderful internal employees

2:20:07 ↗ that we have and so I've been honored to

2:20:11 ↗ be able to do the swearing in and

2:20:13 ↗ getting people promoted into their new

2:20:14 ↗ position so thank you for that my

2:20:16 ↗ comment on the report was that the

2:20:18 ↗ graphics and the photos are great and um
