6:50 ↗ excited to be meeting with you all

6:52 ↗ tonight uh please do bear with me as i

6:54 ↗ work through any technical challenges

6:56 ↗ but really appreciate the opportunity uh

6:59 ↗ to be speaking with you all tonight and

7:01 ↗ presenting a draft work plan as well as

7:04 ↗ the board schedule

7:06 ↗ so before we launch into the proposed

7:09 ↗ work plan and the questions that i'd

7:10 ↗ like to discuss with the board tonight i

7:13 ↗ did want to take just a few minutes to

7:15 ↗ talk through

7:16 ↗ some thoughts and

7:18 ↗ considerations that i've been hearing my

7:20 ↗ first couple of weeks on the job

7:23 ↗ tonight i'll be seeking your input on

7:24 ↗ priority actions for icap implementation

7:27 ↗ that we can advance in 2022

7:30 ↗ as you know there are a lot of actions

7:32 ↗ in the icap many of those are slated for

7:35 ↗ early action and were intended to be

7:37 ↗ implemented within the first two years

7:40 ↗ with limited staff and resources

7:43 ↗ i wanted to put forward some priorities

7:45 ↗ on what might be feasible this year but

7:48 ↗ that also could have some real

7:49 ↗ beneficial impacts

7:51 ↗ so i've been meeting with members of

7:52 ↗ council and staff and there to really

7:55 ↗ understand what their priorities are

7:57 ↗ tonight's the opportunity to really hear

7:58 ↗ about your priorities

8:00 ↗ what i have been hearing is they want to

8:02 ↗ see implementation

8:04 ↗ they want to see some big wins this year

8:07 ↗ and they also want tracking and

8:09 ↗ transparency

8:11 ↗ so base what i have been hearing

8:14 ↗ as well as the opportunities that i saw

8:16 ↗ within the icap i'm

8:18 ↗ proposing this

8:20 ↗ draft work plan for you

8:23 ↗ the next meeting in february our plan is

8:26 ↗ to be talking about the longer term work

8:28 ↗ plan what we um how we see

8:30 ↗ implementation happening over the next

8:32 ↗ couple of years as well as where

8:34 ↗ community and board engagement fits in

8:37 ↗ but tonight we really are focusing on

8:39 ↗ just this next year

8:41 ↗ and really wanting to understand if

8:43 ↗ what's being proposed aligns with your

8:45 ↗ priorities

8:46 ↗ um so first i'll be touching on the

8:49 ↗ proposed 2022 work plan for icap

8:51 ↗ implementation and then after that we'll

8:54 ↗ be looking at the board schedule

8:56 ↗ and how that aligns with the

8:58 ↗ implementation plan as well as your

8:59 ↗ other priorities

9:05 ↗ great

9:06 ↗ so first just to touch base on the icap

9:09 ↗ implementation work plan for the year so

9:12 ↗ i'm going to walk through a quick

9:13 ↗ summary of what was

9:15 ↗ provided to you in the board memo that

9:18 ↗ was an attachment a

9:20 ↗ um and this slide presents just a

9:22 ↗ general overview of the categories of

9:25 ↗ work as i see them for the next year

9:27 ↗ so the first category is around

9:29 ↗ municipal operations so these are items

9:32 ↗ such as working on green building

9:34 ↗ requirements

9:35 ↗ enhancing opportunities for renewable

9:37 ↗ energy and preparing for transition to

9:40 ↗ an ev fleet

9:42 ↗ the next category of work is around a

9:44 ↗ vulnerability assessment

9:47 ↗ this was identified as an early action

9:49 ↗ in the icap

9:51 ↗ and this year there's a great

9:52 ↗ opportunity to work through the

9:54 ↗ vulnerability assessment as we will also

9:56 ↗ be updating our emergency comprehensive

9:59 ↗ plan

10:00 ↗ with a lot of the recent

10:02 ↗ events the heat dome the flooding

10:05 ↗ other related events i feel like there's

10:07 ↗ a great

10:09 ↗ opportunity to really look at where is

10:11 ↗ our city most vulnerable to different

10:14 ↗ extreme weather events and which

10:15 ↗ populations are most at risk and then

10:18 ↗ identify some specific actions the

10:20 ↗ community can take

10:22 ↗ the next category of work is probably

10:24 ↗ the largest this is around energy

10:27 ↗ efficiency incentives

10:30 ↗ this would be both for new construction

10:32 ↗ as well as existing buildings there are

10:35 ↗ a lot of incentive opportunities

10:37 ↗ available that we would want to promote

10:41 ↗ within our community

10:43 ↗ and then there's also some things that

10:45 ↗ we can do within the city

10:47 ↗ to really promote greener building

10:51 ↗ the fourth category is

10:53 ↗ some community campaigns that are

10:55 ↗ underway you may have

10:58 ↗ heard about these a bit last fall

11:00 ↗ the first one is a community climate

11:03 ↗ challenge this will be a partnership

11:05 ↗ with the other east side cities

11:08 ↗ and it will really be focused on

11:10 ↗ individuals and households and what

11:13 ↗ actions they can take from those that

11:15 ↗ are very simple to much more complex for

11:18 ↗ reducing their carbon footprints

11:21 ↗ we are also

11:22 ↗ planning to move forward with a heat

11:24 ↗ pump campaign that is also in

11:26 ↗ collaboration with a number of other

11:28 ↗ east side cities

11:30 ↗ and this will operate somewhat similar

11:33 ↗ to the polarized campaign

11:36 ↗ where there'd be an incentive to

11:39 ↗ move forward with electric heat pump

11:41 ↗ benefits from a group purchase and

11:43 ↗ promotion of incentives

11:46 ↗ there's a few hiccups happening with

11:47 ↗ this campaign right now that we're

11:49 ↗ trying to work through

11:51 ↗ but i hope to bring you more on that at

11:53 ↗ our next meeting

11:55 ↗ i'm also exploring opportunities for

11:57 ↗ outreach and education

11:59 ↗ on waste management through our existing

12:02 ↗ contract with recology

12:04 ↗ but further discussions are happening

12:06 ↗ with our public works

12:08 ↗ department on what we can do this year

12:12 ↗ and then the last category of work

12:15 ↗ is around tracking and reporting on the

12:17 ↗ implementation plan

12:19 ↗ i think we heard a lot about

12:21 ↗ wanting transparency around the plan and

12:24 ↗ what is happening

12:25 ↗ so over the next couple of months my

12:28 ↗ plan is to work with the board to

12:30 ↗ advance the metrics associated with each

12:32 ↗ of the actions in the plan

12:34 ↗ and then to develop a dashboard

12:37 ↗ where folks can come and see what we're

12:40 ↗ working on what where we're making

12:42 ↗ progress and maybe where even the

12:43 ↗ barriers are

12:45 ↗ that we need to work through to get an

12:47 ↗ action implemented

12:49 ↗ we'll also be working to update our

12:52 ↗ website

12:54 ↗ in the near term just to get out some

12:55 ↗ more information around the icap and

12:57 ↗ community engagement

13:00 ↗ there's a number of other items that we

13:02 ↗ might

13:03 ↗ include in the work this year but those

13:06 ↗ conversations haven't advanced very far

13:10 ↗ but are definitely on my mind things

13:11 ↗ like working more closely with the

13:13 ↗ school district

13:15 ↗ looking at more opportunities for carbon

13:17 ↗ sequestration sustainable purchasing

13:20 ↗ improve food waste policies

13:23 ↗ so those are very much

13:26 ↗ in in the thought for the next year but

13:28 ↗ just not sure how much we'll be able to

13:30 ↗ advance them

13:33 ↗ so that is kind of a high-level snapshot

13:36 ↗ of what i envisioned for this year so i

13:38 ↗ am

13:39 ↗ most interested in hearing what

13:41 ↗ the board thinks about this plan for

13:44 ↗ early implementation of the icap

13:48 ↗ and that's the first question and just

13:50 ↗ seeing if it really aligns with your

13:52 ↗ understanding of what was meant to be

13:54 ↗ included for early implementation

13:57 ↗ and then the second question being if

13:59 ↗ there are other actions from the icap

14:02 ↗ that you want to prior to prioritize for

14:04 ↗ 2022

14:07 ↗ so i will pause there and hand it back

14:09 ↗ over

14:10 ↗ to nancy

14:12 ↗ for discussion with the board

14:15 ↗ thank you stacy so she's asked us a

14:17 ↗ couple of questions and i'm looking for

14:19 ↗ people to comment and i'll start off

14:21 ↗ with my first one i'll kind of throw

14:24 ↗ something to you stacy um what kind of

14:26 ↗ opportunities you know it seems to me we

14:28 ↗ should track where we're finding the

14:29 ↗ best partnerships so you're talking

14:31 ↗ about waste management i mean if we can

14:33 ↗ identify partners that are helping us to

14:36 ↗ be successful such as we heard comments

14:38 ↗ from rally properties uh the school

14:41 ↗ district maybe pse

14:43 ↗ rei's in town as well i think tracking

14:46 ↗ our partnerships and people that are

14:48 ↗ buying into this and helping this icap

14:50 ↗ be successful

14:52 ↗ even if it's kind of in a small way i

14:54 ↗ think it really will help us

14:56 ↗ you know show bring more people to the

14:58 ↗ table you know like the chamber or

15:00 ↗ somebody like that so that's one thing

15:02 ↗ that i would like to do is to track

15:04 ↗ the community and the

15:06 ↗ agencies around us that are helping us

15:08 ↗ if it's costco whatever you know but i

15:10 ↗ think we need to

15:12 ↗ show the wins and announce and i think a

15:15 ↗ group that i see very successful at that

15:18 ↗ is the chamber of commerce and how they

15:20 ↗ do salmon days i don't know if you've

15:21 ↗ seen that but they really bring a lot of

15:23 ↗ partners to the table and i think for us

15:25 ↗ to be successful with this we need to

15:27 ↗ bring more partners clearly clearly the

15:29 ↗ city does not have the resources

15:32 ↗ nor the ability to be to

15:34 ↗ to do this without those partners that's

15:37 ↗ my feedback feedback

15:40 ↗ and i'm going to turn it over to stacy

15:42 ↗ or

15:42 ↗ jamie sorry jamie

15:44 ↗ go ahead and see it jamie speaking um i

15:47 ↗ had a couple questions uh one of the

15:50 ↗ things that was called out in the

15:51 ↗ implementation plan

15:53 ↗ is the wedge analysis tool from k4c

15:57 ↗ is that i didn't see that clearly called

15:59 ↗ out in the materials and how that would

16:02 ↗ be

16:03 ↗ or when we expected that to be available

16:05 ↗ and how that would be used this year at

16:07 ↗ all

16:09 ↗ can you share a little bit about your

16:11 ↗ expectations or understandings around

16:13 ↗ that tool and its availability and use

16:15 ↗ this year

16:17 ↗ yeah thanks jimmy i think

16:20 ↗ are you referring to the county-wide

16:22 ↗ greenhouse gas inventory

16:24 ↗ the capability you'll be leading

16:26 ↗ no i thought

16:28 ↗ in the implementation plan there's let

16:30 ↗ me read

16:32 ↗ there was mention of

16:34 ↗ that a tool is going to be made

16:36 ↗ available that would help us quantify

16:39 ↗ the um impact of these actions and i

16:43 ↗ maybe i'm reading more into that than

16:45 ↗ what is it what it actually is but

16:48 ↗ okay

16:49 ↗ yeah i don't know um i'll have to dig

16:52 ↗ back through

16:53 ↗ that um i can look at my notes from

16:55 ↗ megan too i'm not sure what that's

16:56 ↗ referring to i do know that there's

16:59 ↗ going to be a county-led process this

17:02 ↗ year that we'll be able to build off of

17:04 ↗ for our own greenhouse gas inventory but

17:06 ↗ it sounds like maybe that's not quite

17:08 ↗ what you're speaking to so

17:10 ↗ let me look back at that see if i can

17:12 ↗ find out more information and bring it

17:14 ↗ to a future meeting

17:16 ↗ okay thank you yeah it's

17:18 ↗ yeah yeah you'll find it in the

17:20 ↗ uh efficient part um the other question

17:23 ↗ i had

17:24 ↗ was around

17:26 ↗ based on how we've done our

17:28 ↗ um greenhouse gas

17:30 ↗ basically uh what's the right term um

17:33 ↗ inventory

17:35 ↗ our consumption is not really included

17:37 ↗ like the the upstream impact or impacts

17:40 ↗ of of the goods that

17:42 ↗ people consume in the city of israel are

17:44 ↗ not included i was curious if you had

17:46 ↗ any early thoughts on how that would be

17:48 ↗ communicated and how that might be

17:50 ↗ incorporated into communications with

17:52 ↗ citizens

17:57 ↗ um no i haven't thought about that was

18:00 ↗ that yeah i'd be interested to hear more

18:02 ↗ about whether or not that came into

18:05 ↗ conversations in the development of the

18:07 ↗ icap or

18:08 ↗ if we weren't quite there yet

18:11 ↗ i need to further explore that

18:15 ↗ thanks i think in terms of quick

18:17 ↗ feedback um

18:19 ↗ i think the areas that i i really like

18:22 ↗ is that we are focusing on really

18:23 ↗ getting a foundation of trying to track

18:25 ↗ and be able to communicate and provide

18:28 ↗ transparency

18:29 ↗ that's a really important first step so

18:32 ↗ appreciate the the efforts to to do

18:35 ↗ those things that

18:37 ↗ i think if there's other ways to kind of

18:38 ↗ quantify the impact more precisely or

18:41 ↗ get a better sense that would be

18:42 ↗ something that even if that wedge tool

18:44 ↗ isn't isn't uh the right thing or if i'm

18:47 ↗ misinterpreting what it is um that

18:50 ↗ that's an area that i'd love so that we

18:51 ↗ can

18:52 ↗ better understand what we should be

18:54 ↗ prioritizing the future based on what

18:55 ↗ can have the greatest impact because

18:57 ↗ it's still an area that i'm a little bit

18:59 ↗ uh unclear on

19:02 ↗ in in the current format thank you

19:06 ↗ great thank you it sounds like brianna

19:07 ↗ might have some more information so i'll

19:09 ↗ follow up with her and we'll

19:12 ↗ bring that back to the board at the next

19:13 ↗ meeting

19:16 ↗ okay it appears we have a comment from

19:17 ↗ ann and go ahead please

19:21 ↗ hey thanks nancy um

19:23 ↗ so i wanted to support

19:26 ↗ nancy on

19:28 ↗ the

19:29 ↗ partners building the partners and see

19:31 ↗ where we can help each other out

19:34 ↗ not just within the city but

19:36 ↗ also um potentially other cities that

19:39 ↗ maybe have a program

19:41 ↗ that we could that they've already built

19:43 ↗ that we could

19:45 ↗ um

19:46 ↗ piggyback on or you know get good good

19:48 ↗ ideas from

19:50 ↗ and

19:53 ↗ and then legislate legislatively there's

19:55 ↗ a lot going on right now a lot of

19:57 ↗ important things with uh legislatively

19:59 ↗ and with washington commerce and so

20:02 ↗ if we could be commenting as a city on a

20:06 ↗ lot of those things that are going to

20:09 ↗ make everything else easier for us i

20:11 ↗ think

20:13 ↗ including um the clean energy

20:16 ↗ implementation plan that's going on

20:18 ↗ right now and the comments to the utc

20:21 ↗ end

20:22 ↗ i think on march

20:24 ↗ 3rd or 4th

20:25 ↗ um

20:26 ↗ and then also

20:29 ↗ partnering with the um

20:33 ↗ schools uh sustainability um any schools

20:37 ↗ or their sustainability teams

20:40 ↗ to see what we can do and especially um

20:44 ↗ to see if we can get kids to ride the

20:46 ↗ bus and um

20:50 ↗ carpool

20:51 ↗ thanks

20:54 ↗ thanks

20:56 ↗ thanks ann

20:57 ↗ um tom anderson has some comments go

20:59 ↗ ahead tom

21:01 ↗ uh yes thank you tom anderson speaking

21:03 ↗ uh well jamie's comments um involving

21:06 ↗ some of the king county stuff there just

21:09 ↗ reminded me of that king county um

21:13 ↗ what do they call it

21:15 ↗ climate action toolkit or something like

21:17 ↗ that

21:18 ↗ and so i you know i didn't do my

21:20 ↗ homework here come ready but it just

21:21 ↗ reminded me when i did look at it there

21:23 ↗ was a nice table of of all the the

21:26 ↗ cities

21:28 ↗ in king county and uh things that they

21:31 ↗ have have done or are planning and doing

21:34 ↗ in the near term um

21:36 ↗ and so how are we aligned with um

21:40 ↗ with the king county plan and are we

21:43 ↗ glaringly behind on any of those check

21:46 ↗ marks or anything uh

21:49 ↗ it's like

21:50 ↗ i don't recall that that is the case but

21:52 ↗ i'm just wondering whether we're in sync

21:55 ↗ with the the overall county plan and in

21:58 ↗ sync with our

22:00 ↗ sister cities in the county

22:02 ↗ on

22:03 ↗ various aspects of the near-term

22:05 ↗ implementation

22:09 ↗ something i'm wondering about um

22:13 ↗ she had another comment on

22:16 ↗ campaign related to uh waste reduction i

22:20 ↗ mean

22:21 ↗ that's left a bit vague there are we um

22:26 ↗ are we working with clean scapes on

22:28 ↗ something more specific that they can do

22:30 ↗ to kind of uh up the ante on this it

22:33 ↗ seems like this is something that in

22:35 ↗ terms of partnering

22:37 ↗ they should they should be the driver of

22:40 ↗ this sort of thing but we need to hold

22:42 ↗ their feet to the fire on

22:45 ↗ something that this is important to us

22:46 ↗ and as we think ahead to

22:49 ↗ our next contract uh well you know

22:53 ↗ help us deliver on these sorts of goals

22:57 ↗ to make us feel good about upping

23:00 ↗ re-upping our contract with painscapes

23:04 ↗ so that's an area that i i think

23:07 ↗ waste management is something that we

23:09 ↗ should be able to make measurable

23:12 ↗ improvements on without a huge

23:14 ↗ investment in that part it's largely

23:17 ↗ driven by

23:19 ↗ human behavior and human behavior can be

23:23 ↗ altered through

23:24 ↗ teaching and that's a fairly low cost

23:27 ↗ thing compared to

23:30 ↗ retrofitting buildings for example

23:34 ↗ thank you that's all i had

23:37 ↗ thank you tom uh you can see that

23:40 ↗ uh laura has a comment laura go ahead

23:43 ↗ please

23:45 ↗ hi uh this is laura um

23:48 ↗ first of all thanks for organizing all

23:50 ↗ this it's exciting to see

23:52 ↗ the action plan actually coming to life

23:53 ↗ um

23:54 ↗ so now we enter the messy part of how to

23:56 ↗ make ideas reality i think

23:58 ↗ my

23:59 ↗ laura can't get your screen on by any

24:01 ↗ chance

24:02 ↗ um i'm on my phone i don't think i can

24:05 ↗ handle it all right thanks that's the

24:07 ↗ case i think you can dial back in in a

24:08 ↗ bit but uh right now i don't think i can

24:10 ↗ do it

24:11 ↗ um

24:12 ↗ i so i like the

24:14 ↗ um

24:15 ↗ the priorities i'm a little

24:17 ↗ confused about how we're prioritizing

24:19 ↗ which ones and why and i think it would

24:22 ↗ be helpful um to define that more it

24:24 ↗ sounds like you're doing it but almost

24:26 ↗ maybe to have a score of like the impact

24:28 ↗ versus the

24:29 ↗ feasibility of it working um i think

24:32 ↗ nancy's idea about doing the community

24:34 ↗ is

24:34 ↗ or who our community partners are is a

24:36 ↗ really good point for targeting that so

24:38 ↗ um

24:40 ↗ expressing why we're choosing these

24:42 ↗ um is helpful for the teaching or for

24:44 ↗ the tracking and reporting i'm just a

24:45 ↗ little

24:46 ↗ otherwise i feel like it's sort of like

24:48 ↗ a buckshot

24:49 ↗ approach which i think could be

24:50 ↗ difficult so my first

24:53 ↗ thought is just why are we doing which

24:55 ↗ and what do we expect to get out of it

24:57 ↗ um it's almost like i would

24:59 ↗ make the tracking and reporting more of

25:01 ↗ a priority over municipal operations

25:04 ↗ um

25:06 ↗ because it seems like once we have some

25:08 ↗ sort of

25:09 ↗ metric framework to help us identify

25:11 ↗ what we're doing um also i know that the

25:13 ↗ city is already doing a lot without it

25:15 ↗ second comment is um

25:17 ↗ we talked about this before and this is

25:19 ↗ not what we were appointed for but i do

25:20 ↗ think

25:22 ↗ at some point soon it would be helpful

25:23 ↗ to assign the board to different

25:26 ↗ initiatives to say that we are

25:27 ↗ representing and actually helping with

25:28 ↗ the implementation i think long term

25:31 ↗ the the city would be better served with

25:33 ↗ having advocates who are actually

25:34 ↗ helping translate the climate action

25:36 ↗ plan to the community um so maybe you

25:39 ↗ know not as much board meetings but also

25:41 ↗ we go out and do things

25:43 ↗ so as start you know hitting the road

25:45 ↗ with that i think

25:46 ↗ that is an interesting consideration to

25:48 ↗ help us be those partners for these

25:50 ↗ initiatives

25:51 ↗ that's it

25:55 ↗ thanks laura um i think statesman wanted

25:57 ↗ to weigh in and respond to some of the

25:59 ↗ comments from tom so go ahead stacy

26:03 ↗ great yeah just briefly um thanks tom

26:05 ↗ for your comments uh the king county

26:08 ↗ toolkit and how we align with other

26:10 ↗ cities that's a great question and

26:12 ↗ something we can kind of look at more

26:14 ↗ closely

26:15 ↗ we are trying to

26:17 ↗ as much as possible partner with cities

26:20 ↗ on projects or campaigns or

26:23 ↗ share resources so that if someone's

26:25 ↗ developed code that we think will be

26:27 ↗ beneficial and sharing those resources

26:31 ↗ as well as ideas such as the

26:34 ↗ early adopters

26:36 ↗ incentive that partnership that bellevue

26:38 ↗ just

26:40 ↗ developed

26:42 ↗ to help folks with the the clean

26:44 ↗ buildings i'm going to be talking with

26:45 ↗ them tomorrow to see if that might be

26:47 ↗ something we can replicate for example

26:49 ↗ so we are trying to share resources as

26:51 ↗ much as possible

26:52 ↗ how we kind of measure up to those other

26:54 ↗ cities

26:55 ↗ i think that you're getting too that's

26:57 ↗ we can take a look at that toolkit and

26:59 ↗ kind of see where we are either ahead or

27:01 ↗ behind or in line

27:03 ↗ and then i just did want to comment on

27:04 ↗ the waste reduction

27:06 ↗ great

27:07 ↗ comments there thank you

27:10 ↗ we

27:11 ↗ do have some

27:15 ↗ some funds in place to my

27:17 ↗ as i understand for waste outreach

27:20 ↗ as well as it's in with within our

27:22 ↗ current contract so we're looking at

27:24 ↗ what we might be able to do this year

27:26 ↗ but definitely a strong consideration

27:28 ↗ for that next contract as well but we're

27:30 ↗ going to try and

27:31 ↗ move forward with

27:33 ↗ some work there based on what we already

27:35 ↗ have

27:36 ↗ within those contracts so thank you for

27:38 ↗ those comments just wanted to follow up

27:40 ↗ on them

27:43 ↗ okay before i turn it over to jamie i

27:45 ↗ know he has another question but i would

27:47 ↗ also like to stress just one other

27:49 ↗ comment to focus on municipal operations

27:52 ↗ when we had the storm and surface water

27:54 ↗ management plan in front of us they

27:57 ↗ really hadn't thought about how the

27:58 ↗ climate action plan would tie into it in

28:00 ↗ terms of vehicles or equipment they

28:02 ↗ might purchase

28:04 ↗ tools and systems you know

28:07 ↗ staffing that type of thing and there's

28:09 ↗ going to be other plans i know parks is

28:11 ↗ working on their strategic plan

28:13 ↗ um

28:15 ↗ you know those are set out for six or

28:16 ↗ eight years if we want an opportunity to

28:18 ↗ influence them to do something to help

28:20 ↗ with climate action to change the way

28:23 ↗ they do business it's time to do it this

28:25 ↗ year and not put that off and my concern

28:29 ↗ is that these will get to the city

28:30 ↗ council and get adopted without even

28:32 ↗ that

28:33 ↗ climate overview so my suggestion is as

28:37 ↗ and i think you have a really

28:39 ↗ interesting group of people that have

28:41 ↗ touched a lot of different pieces of

28:44 ↗ these puzzles that could give input to

28:46 ↗ these departments very successfully if

28:49 ↗ we could put them on the agenda so that

28:51 ↗ they think about what they can do to

28:53 ↗ help us with this climate action plan

28:55 ↗ and

28:56 ↗ benefit it

28:57 ↗ um i think

28:59 ↗ that's just my suggestion i know this

29:01 ↗ the

29:02 ↗ wastewater master plan is going as well

29:04 ↗ and i assume the water one and they are

29:06 ↗ all big energy users so that would be my

29:08 ↗ comment and feedback too we need to get

29:10 ↗ them in front of either this board or

29:12 ↗ have the council provide that overview

29:14 ↗ of hey you guys need to do things

29:16 ↗ differently than you're doing now

29:18 ↗ just a bit of feedback

29:21 ↗ uh with that i'll turn it over to jamie

29:23 ↗ for his question

29:25 ↗ thanks nancy jamie speaking um and i

29:28 ↗ would just first of all echo what nancy

29:30 ↗ said and i think title 18 as well just

29:33 ↗ ensuring that

29:34 ↗ these things that are on the front on

29:37 ↗ the front burner right now how do we

29:38 ↗ make sure that

29:40 ↗ those things don't end up passing us by

29:42 ↗ before

29:43 ↗ um everything that uh

29:46 ↗ we need for this icap to be successful

29:48 ↗ is included there so

29:50 ↗ um the question that i had and tom's

29:53 ↗ question actually brought

29:54 ↗ this to mind was i was curious what sort

29:58 ↗ of knowledge sharing

30:01 ↗ i don't know if there's a community or

30:03 ↗ across cities there are within

30:06 ↗ king county or more broadly for people

30:08 ↗ in your role or people implementing

30:10 ↗ climate action funds is that is there a

30:12 ↗ existing forum for

30:14 ↗ knowledge sharing

30:16 ↗ yeah i think multiple ones uh i'm

30:19 ↗ finding over the last few weeks there's

30:22 ↗ cape horsey um obviously and then

30:25 ↗ there's this east side city

30:27 ↗ collaborative i don't know how much

30:29 ↗ megan had shared about that but that's

30:31 ↗ kirkland mercer island bellevue

30:34 ↗ issaquah and redmond

30:38 ↗ and then

30:39 ↗ there is also the puget sound

30:42 ↗ i think they've changed their name a bit

30:44 ↗ but the puget sound climate

30:45 ↗ collaborative that's more focused on

30:46 ↗ preparedness

30:49 ↗ and so they're going to be talking about

30:51 ↗ things such as

30:53 ↗ the comp plan comprehensive plan updates

30:56 ↗ and how to incorporate more resiliency

30:58 ↗ preparedness into those and other big

31:00 ↗ topics they are

31:02 ↗ tracking the legislative agenda closely

31:05 ↗ and then the other group i'm also tied

31:08 ↗ into is the

31:10 ↗ urban sustainability director network

31:11 ↗ that's

31:13 ↗ nationwide but it's a great place to go

31:15 ↗ in put in questions see what all those

31:17 ↗ people have done people are sharing

31:18 ↗ documents

31:21 ↗ i just shared actually the

31:23 ↗ documents for this board someone else is

31:25 ↗ considering setting up an environmental

31:27 ↗ or sustainability board so that is a

31:29 ↗ great go-to resource to see what's

31:31 ↗ happening around

31:33 ↗ the country and to look first

31:35 ↗ for policies

31:37 ↗ codes or ideas

31:39 ↗ if it doesn't exist within our

31:42 ↗ region

31:43 ↗ so does that give you a bit of a sense

31:45 ↗ jamie i i welcome other if folks know of

31:48 ↗ other groups uh uh welcome ideas on them

31:51 ↗ if i can tap in

31:53 ↗ thanks yeah that answered my question i

31:55 ↗ mean i just think that

31:56 ↗ um especially at this stage of where

31:58 ↗ we're at the more we can learn from

32:00 ↗ people that have already done it know

32:02 ↗ the things to avoid best practices

32:05 ↗ and continue to share

32:07 ↗ after we learn about what works for us

32:09 ↗ um

32:10 ↗ that just seems like a huge opportunity

32:12 ↗ getting back to that how do we really

32:14 ↗ make sure that we have a firm foundation

32:16 ↗ that

32:17 ↗ the more we can engage i mean that's

32:19 ↗ kind of into that the partnership piece

32:21 ↗ but um specifically people doing exactly

32:24 ↗ what we're trying to do

32:25 ↗ um or have having done what we're we're

32:27 ↗ trying to do

32:29 ↗ seems like there's a lot of value there

32:31 ↗ so thank you

32:35 ↗ thanks jamie thank you stacy um

32:37 ↗ with that i'm seeing no other questions

32:39 ↗ or comments anybody else want to weigh

32:41 ↗ in at this point in time

32:46 ↗ stacy did you get uh your questions

32:48 ↗ answered or get the feedback that you

32:50 ↗ were looking for at this point

32:52 ↗ absolutely yeah really great feedback

32:54 ↗ thank you i will take that and

32:57 ↗ incorporate into an updated work plan

33:01 ↗ i'll also wait to hear a bit on the

33:03 ↗ discussion with the board schedule and

33:05 ↗ see how that might influence the work

33:06 ↗ plan

33:08 ↗ but plan to um make those adjustments uh

33:11 ↗ for the the focus for this year and then

33:13 ↗ we'll also follow up with folks on some

33:15 ↗ of the specific questions and comments

33:18 ↗ great thank you stacey

33:22 ↗ okay continue on all right and thank you

33:25 ↗ i feel like i'm going to be speaking a

33:27 ↗ lot tonight which may not be normal but

33:29 ↗ really appreciate this opportunity for

33:31 ↗ feedback

33:32 ↗ um so now i wanted to turn the

33:34 ↗ discussion to the proposed schedule

33:36 ↗ board schedule for 2022

33:39 ↗ and really want to see how

33:41 ↗ that the proposed schedule aligns with

33:43 ↗ both what we just talked about those

33:45 ↗ priorities for implementation as well as

33:47 ↗ the other priorities that the board has

33:49 ↗ for this year

33:51 ↗ so before

33:52 ↗ moving into the summary of what was

33:54 ↗ included in the packet i did just want

33:56 ↗ to share a couple of thoughts

33:58 ↗ from the conversations i've been having

34:00 ↗ over the last few weeks

34:02 ↗ the first one was that

34:05 ↗ our administration and electeds were

34:07 ↗ very impressed with the board report and

34:09 ↗ the amount of work that this board

34:11 ↗ covered in its first year

34:14 ↗ they also really looked to the comments

34:16 ↗ that folks provided in the survey on

34:18 ↗ process improvement

34:20 ↗ and really

34:21 ↗ that's something i'm going to really

34:23 ↗ take to heart and consider with each of

34:26 ↗ the meetings as well as have tried to

34:28 ↗ consider in our work planning

34:30 ↗ they also just wanted me to reiterate

34:32 ↗ that the role of this advisory board

34:35 ↗ you all carry really substantial weight

34:37 ↗ with council with your feedback

34:39 ↗ and we're

34:40 ↗ i

34:41 ↗ and they are also really looking to help

34:43 ↗ you advise on icap implementation

34:47 ↗ one thing i did want to just know based

34:49 ↗ on the feedback from the survey

34:52 ↗ and at the december meeting and

34:54 ↗ something i've tried to consider when

34:56 ↗ developing the work plan for the year is

34:59 ↗ cutting back on presentation time and

35:01 ↗ really trying to open up more time for

35:03 ↗ discussion

35:05 ↗ one of the ways we're talking about

35:06 ↗ doing this is

35:09 ↗ not

35:10 ↗ reviewing the materials that we provide

35:12 ↗ in advance in in-depth

35:14 ↗ but really assuming folks have had time

35:16 ↗ to look at the meeting packet

35:19 ↗ and then just providing a brief summary

35:20 ↗ with a presentation and

35:22 ↗ moving on quickly to discussion

35:25 ↗ i know that folks are very busy and not

35:28 ↗ everyone may have time to look at

35:30 ↗ materials ahead of the meeting so that's

35:32 ↗ completely understandable and just let

35:34 ↗ us know

35:35 ↗ if that's the case

35:37 ↗ but do know that's really my hope going

35:39 ↗ forward is kind of very brief

35:41 ↗ presentations and then turning it over

35:43 ↗ to comments and questions

35:48 ↗ um so with that quick introduction i'll

35:51 ↗ just move on to the summary of the board

35:54 ↗ schedule this is in a lot more detail

35:56 ↗ and attachment two of the packet

35:59 ↗ i really see this as a living document

36:02 ↗ in some ways too where we can make

36:03 ↗ adjustments based on things that

36:06 ↗ are more timely or become a priority

36:10 ↗ so as i mentioned i tried to take into

36:12 ↗ account the feedback on the survey

36:14 ↗ priorities for the year need to engage

36:17 ↗ in other processes that are happening

36:19 ↗ within the city

36:21 ↗ um also really tried to

36:23 ↗ minimize how many topics are at each

36:25 ↗ meeting

36:26 ↗ so that we can have that focused

36:28 ↗ discussion

36:30 ↗ so a brief summary here is the first

36:33 ↗ quarter

36:34 ↗ focusing on the icap planning like we're

36:36 ↗ doing today and likely at our february

36:38 ↗ meeting if input on different planning

36:41 ↗ processes that are happening

36:43 ↗ within the city and

36:45 ↗ title 18 as well

36:48 ↗ second quarter would be working through

36:51 ↗ the icap metrics starting to talk about

36:53 ↗ incentives potential policies for energy

36:56 ↗ efficiency in buildings

36:59 ↗ possibly getting into some natural

37:01 ↗ environment parks transportation related

37:03 ↗ items you'll see a couple of the summer

37:05 ↗ meetings

37:06 ↗ included a lot of potential topics and

37:08 ↗ we'll see what's timely there

37:11 ↗ third quarter revising

37:13 ↗ and updates on title 18

37:16 ↗ i think there'll also be some

37:17 ↗ opportunities for solid waste waste

37:20 ↗ management discussions here

37:23 ↗ and then in the fourth quarter

37:26 ↗ updates on greenhouse gas inventories

37:28 ↗ preparation for our own inventory

37:32 ↗ possibly getting into sustainable

37:34 ↗ purchasing if we've been able to advance

37:36 ↗ that

37:38 ↗ looking at a climate climate

37:39 ↗ vulnerability of study if we've been

37:42 ↗ able to advance that and then starting

37:44 ↗ to work through our priorities for the

37:46 ↗ next year

37:48 ↗ one thing i did want to just note

37:50 ↗ is that at each meeting my plan is to

37:53 ↗ provide in the staff report just a brief

37:56 ↗ update on where we are on icap

37:58 ↗ implementation if that's not one of the

38:01 ↗ topics being discussed

38:03 ↗ that particular evening

38:06 ↗ so now i wanted to turn it back over to

38:08 ↗ you with

38:10 ↗ these two questions um the first is that

38:12 ↗ do you see this schedule aligning with

38:15 ↗ some of the priorities we just discussed

38:17 ↗ for icap implementation

38:20 ↗ and the second question is are there

38:22 ↗ other priorities topics that you don't

38:24 ↗ see in that more

38:26 ↗ detailed schedule in the packet that you

38:29 ↗ want to make sure we save some room for

38:31 ↗ and include in 2022.

38:37 ↗ thank you stacy and with that are there

38:39 ↗ any comments from the board or feedback

38:42 ↗ that you'd like to provide stacy on uh

38:44 ↗ either the first or second second comic

38:46 ↗ topic or question she raised

38:53 ↗ jamie please go ahead

38:55 ↗ thanks nancy jamie speaking um

38:58 ↗ and stacy this relates to the question i

39:00 ↗ asked earlier today

39:03 ↗ um

39:04 ↗ or yesterday maybe about uh title 16

39:07 ↗ building codes i

39:09 ↗ it would be great to figure out um

39:12 ↗ as opposed to title 18 where it was

39:14 ↗ basically like we'd never discuss title

39:17 ↗ 18 and then we're in a meeting like with

39:20 ↗ trying to go in the weeds on title 18 it

39:22 ↗ would be great if we could get out in

39:24 ↗ front of that knowing that that's coming

39:26 ↗ um and getting

39:28 ↗ um

39:30 ↗ minnie did a really great not the first

39:31 ↗ time around but the second time around

39:33 ↗ she did a great summary of title 18 and

39:35 ↗ i don't know if it would be minnie but

39:37 ↗ someone coming and helping us just get

39:40 ↗ like a holistic understanding of

39:42 ↗ of that of that body of code and and

39:46 ↗ how that might relate to

39:48 ↗ our discussion items

39:50 ↗ um before we're just like in

39:53 ↗ rapid fire questioning would be really

39:56 ↗ awesome so that that's my

39:59 ↗ feedback

40:01 ↗ great thank you

40:03 ↗ thanks jamie dan you have some comment

40:06 ↗ yeah thanks nancy dan hintz here um the

40:09 ↗ first part of it is

40:10 ↗ jamie you just kind of nailed exactly

40:12 ↗ what i was thinking i i was a little

40:14 ↗ concerned seeing that the only title 18

40:16 ↗ on the tentative or

40:18 ↗ proposed schedule for this year is a

40:20 ↗ joint

40:21 ↗ uh meeting i think yeah i just kind of

40:23 ↗ reiterate what jamie's saying a little

40:25 ↗ bit more

40:26 ↗ context or specific areas of it i know

40:28 ↗ there's a lot of interest around

40:29 ↗ critical areas a lot of interest around

40:31 ↗ tree retention and different codes

40:33 ↗ around canopy in the city

40:35 ↗ um so yeah just expressing a little bit

40:37 ↗ of hesitance around that being the only

40:39 ↗ touch point for that i'd say even a

40:41 ↗ lesser extent but kind of a similar

40:43 ↗ feeling on the um storm and surface

40:45 ↗ water planning too it looks like maybe

40:47 ↗ right now that is just the month before

40:49 ↗ title 18 in march so i think those are

40:52 ↗ both such big elements and kind of to

40:54 ↗ the previous part of the discussion with

40:55 ↗ with jamie and nancy you know how we can

40:58 ↗ ensure that those are really integrated

40:59 ↗ with icap 2 and some of the goals there

41:02 ↗ so

41:03 ↗ um would call both those out

41:05 ↗ those are big things i'd say something

41:07 ↗ that i you know i'm very excited about

41:10 ↗ um oh gosh i'm losing it right now but

41:12 ↗ on some of the natural areas parks

41:14 ↗ trails connectivity wildlife corridors i

41:17 ↗ think that's fantastic um one thing i'd

41:20 ↗ love to learn more about or see where

41:22 ↗ the city's at is around land

41:24 ↗ acquisitions and you know where some of

41:26 ↗ the goals might be there

41:28 ↗ as it relates to all those things

41:29 ↗ recreation

41:31 ↗ habitat you know flood management uh all

41:34 ↗ those things that i think is a great

41:36 ↗ history of and you know would like to

41:38 ↗ see continue so that's just kind of one

41:39 ↗ more a little bit more uh specific topic

41:42 ↗ i'd be curious to dive into if there's

41:44 ↗ time

41:48 ↗ thank you dan um i would like to echo

41:50 ↗ some of dan's comments i think title 18

41:53 ↗ is going to kind of come to a head with

41:54 ↗ the city council this year and i think

41:57 ↗ it really is going to tie into icap

41:59 ↗ pretty heavily

42:01 ↗ and going to get a lot of feedback so

42:03 ↗ we need to make sure that that becomes a

42:05 ↗ priority for this award as it moves

42:07 ↗ forward so that

42:09 ↗ we have provided our input

42:12 ↗ in a timely manner to the city council

42:15 ↗ occasionally we didn't have that

42:16 ↗ opportunity

42:18 ↗ um and we have a different perspective

42:20 ↗ than the planning policy commission i

42:22 ↗ know at times they have brought us as a

42:24 ↗ joint meeting

42:25 ↗ and we look at things i think a little

42:27 ↗ differently than they do we have a

42:28 ↗ different purpose and goal and i think

42:31 ↗ that's important

42:32 ↗ my second comment is

42:35 ↗ throughout last year i'm still

42:37 ↗ interested in seeing the strategic plan

42:40 ↗ for the parks department i think it has

42:42 ↗ a huge piece to this and so far

42:45 ↗ we have not been able to get that to

42:47 ↗ this board

42:48 ↗ and um

42:50 ↗ it troubles me that we can't haven't

42:52 ↗ brought it to the board i think we need

42:54 ↗ to have an understanding since they are

42:56 ↗ dealing with canopy issues

42:58 ↗ they are tied to the

43:00 ↗ stormwater master plan

43:02 ↗ um

43:03 ↗ i just think

43:04 ↗ you know understanding of what they're

43:05 ↗ doing there so that we see how it ties

43:08 ↗ into title 18 and the icap and these

43:10 ↗ other things it feels like a piece

43:12 ↗ that's really missing out of the overall

43:15 ↗ agenda for what the environmental

43:17 ↗ board's trying to do

43:18 ↗ i know there's a park sport i understand

43:20 ↗ that completely but we have a different

43:22 ↗ mission than them and i think it would

43:25 ↗ be very helpful to get them on our

43:27 ↗ agenda as soon as we can so at least we

43:30 ↗ have

43:31 ↗ um an understanding of what they're

43:33 ↗ trying to accomplish and where they're

43:34 ↗ going so we don't get surprised when

43:37 ↗ their product comes out and we say well

43:38 ↗ why didn't you think about this and what

43:40 ↗ happened with that

43:41 ↗ um it's really hard to come late to the

43:43 ↗ game on some of those things and i feel

43:45 ↗ like we're getting to that point with

43:47 ↗ the park strategic plan those are my two

43:49 ↗ pieces of feedback

43:51 ↗ um

43:54 ↗ laura have i called on you go ahead

43:56 ↗ laura

43:57 ↗ you have not hello

43:59 ↗ uh

44:00 ↗ i um

44:03 ↗ i i'm not sure my feedback i'm like i'm

44:06 ↗ looking at the practicalities of this

44:07 ↗ schedule um but i do

44:10 ↗ feel a little hesitant that when the

44:12 ↗ when you say that the board wants

44:14 ↗ some big wins that we're not really look

44:15 ↗ diving into greenhouse gas

44:18 ↗ measures until the end of the year i

44:20 ↗ know that we're building up those

44:22 ↗ measurements um

44:23 ↗ but it seems like

44:25 ↗ the order could be a little

44:27 ↗ again a little switched perhaps

44:30 ↗ um

44:31 ↗ i feel like i can say this in a concise

44:32 ↗ way

44:34 ↗ but maybe zeroing in on that sooner like

44:36 ↗ i know that the i'm think that the

44:38 ↗ wastewater and the stormwater is just

44:39 ↗ because the plans are in progress but

44:41 ↗ again i would love to see us giving you

44:43 ↗ more input on like the community goals

44:44 ↗ and the metrics

44:46 ↗ and some greenhouse gas emissions sooner

44:48 ↗ if possible

44:49 ↗ um and my other question was just how

44:51 ↗ like what support does the city need

44:53 ↗ from us i'm assuming that's built in but

44:56 ↗ i want to make sure that we're giving

44:57 ↗ you what you need to

44:59 ↗ implement these as quickly as possible

45:00 ↗ so if there are specific questions that

45:02 ↗ you're

45:03 ↗ um wanting some insights in that you're

45:05 ↗ tapping us as soon as possible for those

45:10 ↗ great thank you laura

45:12 ↗ jamie you have a question

45:15 ↗ yeah and i don't know stacy if you'll

45:18 ↗ know this off the top of your head but

45:19 ↗ is 2023 when there's going to be a new

45:22 ↗ capital improvement plan

45:24 ↗ is it

45:26 ↗ isn't it every two weeks

45:27 ↗ i don't know

45:29 ↗ uh i will need to check on that i can

45:31 ↗ find out

45:32 ↗ okay that's just something that

45:35 ↗ uh i know this city is

45:38 ↗ looking for different ways for

45:40 ↗ the for boards to engage with it and i

45:42 ↗ think it might be every two years and i

45:44 ↗ think we did it 2021 so i would think

45:46 ↗ it'd be coming in 2023

45:48 ↗ and i do think that that's something

45:50 ↗ that we should probably get out in front

45:52 ↗ of and figure out how the board best

45:54 ↗ engage engages on the cip

45:57 ↗ future instances of the cip

46:00 ↗ um

46:01 ↗ so i yeah i think

46:04 ↗ yeah i would love to hear back once you

46:06 ↗ uh get that

46:08 ↗ yep

46:08 ↗ thank you that's great

46:11 ↗ janet i understand you have a question

46:20 ↗ janet

46:24 ↗ janet you might want to unmute your

46:25 ↗ maker there you go

46:27 ↗ uh hello

46:28 ↗ uh i have

46:30 ↗ one of my

46:31 ↗ issues and thank you dan for

46:34 ↗ bringing it up is uh ascertaining the

46:37 ↗ wildlife corridors through the city

46:40 ↗ and making sure that there are we're not

46:43 ↗ putting barriers up

46:45 ↗ i was kind of concerned when they were

46:47 ↗ putting all the barriers along uh i-90

46:51 ↗ that that will be uh a

46:54 ↗ problem of forcing uh

46:57 ↗ wildlife to cross and or or

47:00 ↗ making it restricted in some areas

47:04 ↗ uh and the other issue

47:06 ↗ is having to do with the

47:09 ↗ solid waste

47:11 ↗ uh one of the things that i do is pick

47:13 ↗ up the litter that that's along our

47:16 ↗ street

47:17 ↗ and uh it's really hard when

47:20 ↗ cans and bottles are just packed with

47:23 ↗ with the dirt

47:25 ↗ so just

47:27 ↗ some awareness uh

47:30 ↗ of um

47:32 ↗ you know

47:33 ↗ not

47:35 ↗ of uh not throwing litter in the first

47:37 ↗ place i think we're

47:40 ↗ i'd like them to bring back the the uh

47:43 ↗ the

47:44 ↗ indian that that

47:47 ↗ you know was disturbed by all the litter

47:50 ↗ along

47:51 ↗ roadsides and trails

47:55 ↗ so um anyway

48:00 ↗ okay

48:01 ↗ are there any other comments or

48:03 ↗ questions

48:04 ↗ that looks like jamie has another

48:06 ↗ comment go ahead jamie

48:08 ↗ yeah sorry i'm just thinking of things

48:09 ↗ uh

48:11 ↗ not all at once um

48:13 ↗ one topic that it would be great to get

48:16 ↗ an update on at some point and i think

48:18 ↗ dan may have mentioned this in a

48:20 ↗ previous meeting it's just the 6ppd and

48:22 ↗ how

48:23 ↗ first of all getting like helping

48:25 ↗ educate us but

48:27 ↗ uh if there are any updates on how the

48:29 ↗ city is thinking about

48:31 ↗ mitigation or or just its perspective

48:34 ↗ um i know that's been something that's

48:36 ↗ been voiced in some of our meetings um

48:39 ↗ related to rivers and streams um in the

48:42 ↗ past and so i

48:44 ↗ would be great um to get an update i

48:46 ↗ don't think that's a full meeting but at

48:47 ↗ some point uh getting an update on if

48:50 ↗ there's any new information that the

48:52 ↗ city has uh has received

48:58 ↗ what's that i'm not seeing a lot of

48:59 ↗ other comments or

49:02 ↗ feedback but i would like to pose a

49:03 ↗ question to the board uh stacy and i

49:05 ↗ were talking the last couple of days

49:07 ↗ and one of the things that she's trying

49:09 ↗ to figure out is how to best utilize the

49:11 ↗ board and so as we look at our 2022

49:14 ↗ schedule

49:16 ↗ it would be helpful if you could

49:17 ↗ identify where you feel your expertise

49:20 ↗ and interest best align

49:22 ↗ she's trying to figure out what our

49:23 ↗ strengths are and who she can turn to

49:25 ↗ for

49:27 ↗ questions assistance and

49:30 ↗ i think that um she really hasn't been

49:32 ↗ introduced to us we talked about doing

49:34 ↗ that tonight but it would be helpful to

49:36 ↗ do that when the board turns over in may

49:39 ↗ if it does it all and so um if we could

49:43 ↗ have you guys come up and kind of say

49:45 ↗ where can you best help stacy or i'm

49:48 ↗ based on your expertise i think it would

49:50 ↗ really help her because she does not

49:51 ↗ know this board very well so i think uh

49:54 ↗ she's trying to get a little bit of an

49:55 ↗ introduction and i would ask you all to

49:58 ↗ weigh in on this but i'm not going to

49:59 ↗ call on you so

50:00 ↗ uh who would like to start for me i

50:02 ↗ guess i would start um

50:05 ↗ just put myself out there stacy i've

50:08 ↗ worked in uh government operations for

50:10 ↗ 35 years so i have a strong

50:14 ↗ public works and

50:15 ↗ background and

50:18 ↗ have also been involved

50:21 ↗ as an elected official in the past so i

50:23 ↗ have both of those in my skill bits

50:26 ↗ i understand budgets cips and all of

50:29 ↗ that very well and i understand the

50:32 ↗ technical issues and the policy issues

50:34 ↗ so i've kind of got a big picture on all

50:36 ↗ of this but i'm fortunate to be retired

50:39 ↗ so i am happy to help you in any way you

50:41 ↗ need um

50:42 ↗ [Music]

50:44 ↗ that's my comment and with that i'm

50:46 ↗ going to turn it over to

50:47 ↗ um who's next

50:58 ↗ i think so is it working

51:00 ↗ yeah yes great

51:02 ↗ all right i finally figured it out she

51:03 ↗ had to get the right setting

51:05 ↗ um so i've been listening thank you um i

51:08 ↗ agree with everything you guys say um

51:10 ↗ one thing i'd like to throw in there

51:12 ↗ real quick before i tell you about me is

51:14 ↗ um as we move forward i really like the

51:17 ↗ idea of hearing from the parks

51:19 ↗ department um on what their planning

51:22 ↗ efforts are and then checking in on the

51:24 ↗ cip i've been doing some research online

51:26 ↗ while we've been talking

51:28 ↗ and there's a lot there and probably

51:31 ↗ more than we can go through in one

51:32 ↗ meeting but it'd be nice just to have

51:34 ↗ them introduce themselves to us so we

51:36 ↗ we're on the same page

51:38 ↗ my background i'm 20 years in local

51:40 ↗ government

51:42 ↗ my specialty is storm water water

51:45 ↗ quality

51:46 ↗ i'm involved in a ton of regional groups

51:48 ↗ on the stormwater out front you asked

51:51 ↗ about 6ppd there if you want in touch

51:53 ↗ with those folks feel free to reach out

51:55 ↗ me

51:56 ↗ i'm happy to put you in touch with the

51:58 ↗ leads of those groups and get them to

52:00 ↗ come talk to us

52:03 ↗ similar to nancy i have a lot of

52:05 ↗ experience in you know cip planning

52:09 ↗ project planning

52:11 ↗ the inner workings of government so

52:13 ↗ feel free to ping me for anything you

52:14 ↗ need

52:17 ↗ all right dan go ahead

52:21 ↗ great yeah dan here and stacy very

52:23 ↗ excited to work with you this year and

52:25 ↗ um yeah i'm excited to build these kind

52:27 ↗ of relationships and knowledge here but

52:29 ↗ um

52:30 ↗ uh

52:30 ↗ i i've been working the past six years

52:32 ↗ with the mounts of sound greenway trust

52:35 ↗ and we partner a lot with the city on um

52:38 ↗ all sorts of things but you know

52:39 ↗ essentially uh in the past it has been

52:41 ↗ land acquisitions uh habitat restoration

52:44 ↗ trails and recreation um community

52:47 ↗ engagement

52:48 ↗ uh i

52:49 ↗ my my uh specific role is our

52:51 ↗ restoration projects manager so

52:53 ↗ restoration ecology and obviously a lot

52:55 ↗ of that ties to

52:57 ↗ uh salmon recovery which i believe you

52:59 ↗ have a background into which is really

53:00 ↗ exciting um you know flood plain design

53:03 ↗ um

53:04 ↗ you know obviously botany ecology

53:06 ↗ forestry so uh but the the community

53:08 ↗ engagement parts of it are something i'm

53:09 ↗ very passionate about too so working

53:11 ↗ with people on the ground getting them

53:13 ↗ engaged and educated on some of these

53:15 ↗ issues too so

53:17 ↗ yeah very excited to work with you

53:20 ↗ great thank you dan jamie

53:24 ↗ thanks nancy

53:26 ↗ my background is uh

53:29 ↗ really in a nutshell

53:31 ↗ go to market strategy for digital

53:33 ↗ businesses and so i think as we think

53:35 ↗ about how we start uh

53:38 ↗ bringing some of the icap community

53:40 ↗ engagement to life that could be an area

53:43 ↗ that

53:44 ↗ end up

53:45 ↗ i might be able to provide some

53:46 ↗ assistance i also have a finance

53:48 ↗ background more of a corporate finance

53:50 ↗ background

53:52 ↗ so

53:53 ↗ as we think about cip as well as all the

53:55 ↗ time i've spent on the

53:57 ↗ capital finance task force um that's an

54:00 ↗ area that

54:01 ↗ starting to get deeper on so um

54:04 ↗ and then i'm really passionate about

54:05 ↗ what we're doing with the icap so can't

54:07 ↗ say that i have a lot of expertise but

54:11 ↗ uh really a lot of desire to learn and

54:13 ↗ um a lot of passion about what we're

54:15 ↗ doing and what we can do

54:20 ↗ great

54:21 ↗ thank you jamie uh laura

54:24 ↗ hi um

54:27 ↗ stacy welcome um my so my background is

57:58 ↗ any way we can

58:00 ↗ um

58:01 ↗ with communicating to the public you

58:03 ↗ know how how we can help with

58:07 ↗ the icap plan especially where it

58:09 ↗ overlaps with

58:11 ↗ forest health

58:12 ↗ and resilience and carbon sequestration

58:15 ↗ trails wildlife corridors

58:18 ↗ and things like that

58:19 ↗ which i'm very passionate about all

58:21 ↗ those things

58:27 ↗ i guess that's it

58:29 ↗ thank you

58:31 ↗ thank you ann uh syria do you have

58:32 ↗ anything that you'd like to add for us

58:34 ↗ today

58:37 ↗ yeah um so hi i'm a high school student

58:40 ↗ so i haven't really done anything

58:42 ↗ too specific yet but kind of my entire

58:45 ↗ life i have been like volunteering with

58:46 ↗ different environmental organizations

58:49 ↗ and over the summer i got to volunteer

58:50 ↗ with king county or i got to intern with

58:52 ↗ king county parks

58:54 ↗ which is a really cool experience and i

58:56 ↗ think from that it's my passion for

58:58 ↗ community engagement

59:00 ↗ and also like marketing of different

59:02 ↗ environmental issues has grown so i can

59:05 ↗ definitely help with that but also

59:06 ↗ things like finding partners um if

59:09 ↗ you're looking for like local partners

59:10 ↗ to like help with different plans i

59:12 ↗ think i can do that because at my school

59:14 ↗ i've helped my like deca club find

59:16 ↗ corporate partners and sponsors and such

59:19 ↗ um

59:20 ↗ but yeah i think those kind of issues

59:22 ↗ um

59:23 ↗ i can lend a hand too

59:26 ↗ thank you and tom you're the last one

59:28 ↗ that we haven't heard from yet tom do

59:29 ↗ you have anything to

59:30 ↗ add i must be going in reverse

59:33 ↗ alphabetical order

59:35 ↗ okay well i'm a retired uh medical

59:37 ↗ device engineer so my professional

59:39 ↗ experience doesn't align exactly with

59:42 ↗ functions on this board but i i do have

59:44 ↗ other interests i too have been involved

59:46 ↗ with this wilds trails club so trails

59:49 ↗ are an important thing to me uh

59:51 ↗ both recreational and regional and so

59:54 ↗ okay it's the quasi-trailhead city and

59:57 ↗ and uh promoting and advancing that

59:59 ↗ cause is

1:00:01 ↗ important to me but also just coupling

1:00:04 ↗ in with the icap

1:00:05 ↗ is the connection to the mobility master

1:00:08 ↗ plan getting people from point a to

1:00:10 ↗ point b in in town for various purposes

1:00:14 ↗ uh non-recreational purposes

1:00:16 ↗ is something we need to really really

1:00:18 ↗ spend some focus on and there isn't a

1:00:21 ↗ whole lot of in terms of the agenda for

1:00:23 ↗ 2022 that is a little disappointment to

1:00:26 ↗ me that we're not having more tie in

1:00:28 ↗ with

1:00:29 ↗ transportation related things we do have

1:00:31 ↗ the

1:00:32 ↗ electric vehicle

1:00:34 ↗ part of the initiative there which is

1:00:35 ↗ good and

1:00:37 ↗ uh title 18 we'll have some connections

1:00:40 ↗ to that too i don't know where things

1:00:42 ↗ stand on the mobility master plan but

1:00:45 ↗ well anyway getting back to the

1:00:47 ↗ focus here uh so that's an area of

1:00:49 ↗ interest to me uh

1:00:51 ↗ transportation

1:00:53 ↗ multimodal transportation on feet and

1:00:58 ↗ bicycle including electric bikes i

1:01:01 ↗ believe is an important element of

1:01:04 ↗ uh should be an important element of the

1:01:06 ↗ plan for the city of the squad moving

1:01:08 ↗ forward to get people through town

1:01:11 ↗ without the use of a car

1:01:14 ↗ thank you that's it

1:01:17 ↗ thank you tom

1:01:19 ↗ so thank you all for participating in

1:01:21 ↗ this little exercise i hope that it has

1:01:23 ↗ provided

1:01:24 ↗ stacy with some information that she was

1:01:27 ↗ looking for regarding the board and

1:01:30 ↗ i'm sure she'll get to know us better as

1:01:31 ↗ we move along and do more formal

1:01:33 ↗ introductions in may when there's a

1:01:35 ↗ potentially new board new chair

1:01:38 ↗ and with that i'm going to conclude the

1:01:40 ↗ agenda items for tonight um and move on

1:01:43 ↗ to reports and stacy do you have any

1:01:45 ↗ reports for us tonight

1:01:47 ↗ great thanks nancy yeah

1:01:49 ↗ just a few updates

1:01:51 ↗ maybe just to

1:01:53 ↗ building off of tom's last comment we're

1:01:57 ↗ doing interviews for a new

1:01:58 ↗ transportation planner this week so i'm

1:02:00 ↗ hoping after that person's on board i

1:02:02 ↗ have some conversations with them maybe

1:02:04 ↗ there'll be some more transportation

1:02:05 ↗ items to build into our agenda

1:02:09 ↗ so great just a few updates as i noted

1:02:12 ↗ earlier in the presentation my hope is

1:02:14 ↗ during this time each meeting i'll be

1:02:16 ↗ providing you

1:02:17 ↗ update on different icap implementation

1:02:20 ↗ activities

1:02:22 ↗ so some of the other updates i have

1:02:24 ↗ tonight is that the timeline for

1:02:26 ↗ elections for positions that end in 2022

1:02:30 ↗ i believe we have four positions that

1:02:32 ↗ will be up this year and just a reminder

1:02:34 ↗ that current members

1:02:36 ↗ can apply again

1:02:38 ↗ we don't yet have the details on the

1:02:40 ↗ timeline for that process but i was

1:02:42 ↗ informed that that will be coming out in

1:02:44 ↗ january so please keep an eye out for

1:02:46 ↗ that if your position is up

1:02:49 ↗ this year and we can touch more on that

1:02:51 ↗ in february

1:02:53 ↗ there were two groups that reached out

1:02:55 ↗ to me and asked that i passed

1:02:57 ↗ information along to the board that are

1:02:59 ↗ they are looking for volunteers one is

1:03:02 ↗ the tilt alliance they are recruiting

1:03:04 ↗ for 2022 soil and water stewardship

1:03:07 ↗ program

1:03:08 ↗ and the other is fish is looking for new

1:03:11 ↗ board members and volunteers if you're

1:03:13 ↗ interested in either of those feel free

1:03:15 ↗ to reach out to me and i'll put you in

1:03:17 ↗ touch with those contacts

1:03:20 ↗ update on in-person meetings latest

1:03:22 ↗ information i heard is that it will

1:03:25 ↗ probably be a couple of months or longer

1:03:27 ↗ now

1:03:28 ↗ due to the omicron variant i know this

1:03:32 ↗ setting is not ideal for all of us

1:03:34 ↗ but expect that we will be here for at

1:03:36 ↗ least a few more months if you have

1:03:38 ↗ ideas on how to improve the process

1:03:40 ↗ improve engagement of the board do reach

1:03:43 ↗ out to me

1:03:45 ↗ to share those ideas and and will work

1:03:47 ↗ towards trying to make this

1:03:50 ↗ forum as

1:03:51 ↗ as kind to us as possible

1:03:54 ↗ i did want to just remind folks that

1:03:56 ↗ there is the people for climate action

1:03:58 ↗ meeting tomorrow evening where they've

1:04:00 ↗ invited king county to speak

1:04:03 ↗ so far i've only heard from jamie

1:04:06 ↗ and then my myself i am also planning to

1:04:08 ↗ attend if others are interested please

1:04:11 ↗ do let me know tomorrow we do need to

1:04:13 ↗ make sure we don't have a quorum at that

1:04:15 ↗ presentation

1:04:16 ↗ and jamie or myself can share or if

1:04:19 ↗ anyone else does attend jamie

1:04:21 ↗ we can share

1:04:22 ↗ what happens at that meeting during our

1:04:24 ↗ february meeting

1:04:27 ↗ i did want to just

1:04:29 ↗ recognize too that the mayor was

1:04:32 ↗ awarded a honorable mention for small

1:04:35 ↗ cities through a climate protection

1:04:37 ↗ award

1:04:39 ↗ from the u.s conference of mayors and

1:04:41 ↗ that was for the passage of the eb

1:04:43 ↗ ordinance which i know this board had

1:04:45 ↗ quite a hand in

1:04:46 ↗ she was part of a national webinar to

1:04:48 ↗ talk about the ordinance we also got to

1:04:51 ↗ hear from other small cities around the

1:04:52 ↗ country which was very inspiring to hear

1:04:55 ↗ what they are all doing

1:04:57 ↗ and then the last item is i did want to

1:04:59 ↗ just flag a couple of our upcoming

1:05:01 ↗ meetings

1:05:02 ↗ february 24th

1:05:04 ↗ as

1:05:05 ↗ folks noted earlier that will be a joint

1:05:08 ↗ ppc meeting with um

1:05:11 ↗ sorry joint meeting with ppc to talk

1:05:13 ↗ about title 18 it will be a public

1:05:15 ↗ hearing

1:05:16 ↗ the information for review is planned to

1:05:18 ↗ be distributed one month in advance of

1:05:20 ↗ the meeting i did talk to staff this

1:05:23 ↗ week about techniques we can use to make

1:05:26 ↗ sure that the environmental board really

1:05:28 ↗ has a

1:05:30 ↗ voice at that meeting as i know that's

1:05:31 ↗ been a concern with past joint meetings

1:05:34 ↗ so we'll be working on some strategies

1:05:37 ↗ for that next joint meeting in february

1:05:40 ↗ the other one i did want to just flag is

1:05:42 ↗ the march meeting it looks like that now

1:05:44 ↗ will be a joint meeting with ppc as well

1:05:47 ↗ although with the environmental board as

1:05:49 ↗ host

1:05:50 ↗ that's to provide input into the storm

1:05:52 ↗ water

1:05:53 ↗ surface water waste water plans

1:05:57 ↗ there is potential that meeting might go

1:05:59 ↗ a little bit long i'll be working with

1:06:01 ↗ public work staff to see

1:06:03 ↗ how much time they need

1:06:04 ↗ but just since it will be a joint

1:06:07 ↗ meeting we're anticipating going a

1:06:08 ↗ little bit long so i will not uh i will

1:06:11 ↗ try and keep that from happening at

1:06:13 ↗ future meetings but did when i just

1:06:14 ↗ played that for the march meaning

1:06:15 ↗ there's potential for it to go a little

1:06:17 ↗ bit long

1:06:18 ↗ that is all i have nancy thank you and

1:06:20 ↗ get back to you

1:06:23 ↗ thank you
