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
13:39 ↗ 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 ↗ 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
16:03 ↗ 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
19:46 ↗ 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
20:26 ↗ 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
22:03 ↗ 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
23:54 ↗ so now we enter the messy part of how to
23:56 ↗ make ideas reality i think
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
24:12 ↗ i so i like the
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 ↗ or who our community partners are is a
24:36 ↗ really good point for targeting that so
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
25:06 ↗ 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
27:11 ↗ 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
28:15 ↗ 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
32:10 ↗ 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
34:41 ↗ 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
39:04 ↗ 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
39:30 ↗ 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
41:03 ↗ 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
43:03 ↗ 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
43:54 ↗ laura have i called on you go ahead
43:56 ↗ laura
43:57 ↗ you have not hello
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
44:31 ↗ 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
46:01 ↗ 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
48:11 ↗ 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
51:56 ↗ 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
52:30 ↗ 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
53:04 ↗ 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

53:26 ↗ 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
53:53 ↗ 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

57:15 ↗ and
57:17 ↗ i have worked with the sierra club and

57:48 ↗ volunteer as um for the squabs charles
57:50 ↗ club and um i'm vice president i guess
57:53 ↗ and
57:55 ↗ we would definitely like to help um
57:58 ↗ any way we can
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
58:23 ↗ and acquisition like dan said so um
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
59:20 ↗ but yeah i think those kind of issues
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
1:00:29 ↗ transportation related things we do have
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

1:03:08 ↗ 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
1:03:28 ↗ 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
1:05:05 ↗ 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
1:05:50 ↗ 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
1:06:24 ↗ and with that is there any other
