SO, UH, IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE YOUR SUMMER READING, UH, ANY OF YOU UP HERE, UM, HOPEFULLY WE GET THAT DOCUMENT, UH, WITH SOME ADVANCE NOTICE SUCH THAT WE CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE ACTION WE MIGHT POSSIBLY TAKE AT THE NEXT MEETING.
[PUBLIC HEARINGS AND MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION]
ITEM NUMBER ONE ON THE AGENDA IS THE SELECTION OF A CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR FOR FISCAL YEAR 24, 25.DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? OKAY.
UM, SO AS SORT OF A, UM, COMMON PRACTICE OF THIS COMMISSION, WE DO LIKE TO ROTATE THE CHAIRMANSHIP AMONGST THE MEMBERS.
UH, I HAD A GREAT TIME AS THE CHAIRMAN.
I THINK IT WAS A REWARDING EXPERIENCE, CERTAINLY FOR ME.
UM, AND I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE COMMISSION MEMBER, ACTUALLY, TO BE THE CHAIR FOR THE NEXT TERM.
IS THERE SOMEONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SECOND THAT NOMINATION? SECOND.
CAN WE HAVE A VOTE? UH, CHAIR PETERS, COULD WE, UM, DO PUBLIC COMMENT BEFORE WE VOTE? JUST I KNOW.
THERE'S ONLY, THERE'S ONLY TWO IN THE AUDIENCE, BUT I THINK IT'D BE GOOD TO SEE IF AT LEAST THEY WANT, UM, YEAH.
BEFORE WE TAKE A VOTE, IS ANY, ANYONE, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVE ANY? OKAY.
I'M SEEING SOME NODDING HEADS.
UH, WITH THAT, DO WE NEED TO DO INDIVIDUAL VOTE? CAN WE VOTE BY ACCLIMATION? I THINK, I THINK IT'D BE GOOD TO JUST DO A ROLL CALL.
WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME THE NEW CHAIR OF THE CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, I GUESS.
AND WHILE THE MEMBERS CHANGE PLACES AND, UH, CHAIR ASHLEY GETS THE GAVEL, UM, I'LL JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO CHAIR, FORMER CHAIR PETERS FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP FOR THE PAST YEAR.
UM, IT'S BEEN GREAT WORKING WITH YOU FROM AS THE STAFF LIAISON.
AND, UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO SERVE, BUT I APPRECIATE WORKING WITH YOU ALL.
[PRESENTATIONS]
THE AGENDA IS PRESENTATION BY COOL PETALUMA ON RECENT AND FUTURE ACTIVITIES.UH, CHAIR, IF, IF, IF WE COULD, UH, OH, VICE CHAIR.
DO WE HAVE ANY NOMINATIONS FOR VICE CHAIR? SURE.
[00:05:01]
TO, UH, NOMINATE COMMISSIONER PETERS, UH, FOR VICE ACCEPTED.AND DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.
AND SHOULD WE HAVE A OPEN TO COMMENTS, PUBLIC COMMENT? NO.
SHALL WE TAKE A VOTE? SO, UH, BAKER AYE.
THANK YOU FOR SERVING AGAIN FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
NOW WE HAVE PRESENTATION BY COOL PETALUMA ON RECENT AND FUTURE ACTIVITIES.
UM, I GUESS THAT'S THE TITLE, RIGHT? JUST RECENT AND FUTURE ACTIVITIES? YEAH.
UH, YEAH, I'M JUST, UH, SO WELCOME, PRANAV.
I'M WITH THE COOL PETALUMA PROGRAM.
I'M GONNA JUST FIX THIS A LITTLE BIT.
UM, WE'RE CLIMATE ACTION PROGRAM, UH, THAT WORKS WITH THE COMMUNITY.
AND, UH, I'M HERE TONIGHT TO TELL YOU GUYS
UH, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE, WE SPENT THE SUMMER DOING STRATEGIC PLANNING AND PREPARING FOR THE NEW, UH, YOU KNOW, SCHOOL, BACK TO SCHOOL.
IT ALSO PUTS US BACK INTO OUR RHYTHM OF ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY.
AND, UH, WE'VE GOT, UH, TWO THINGS TO ANNOUNCE TONIGHT.
UM, THE BIG ONE BEING, UH, IT'S TREE PLANTING SEASON.
AND AS, UH, YOU ALL EXACTLY RIGHT, UH, AS YOU ALL REMEMBER, THE CITY AND RELIEF WON A GRANT, A MILLION DOLLAR GRANT TO PLANT TREES.
PETALUMA IS A PARTNER IN THAT, UH, TO ENGAGE OUR BLOCK LEADERS AND THE OVERALL COMMUNITY.
IT'S NOT, THIS IS NOT JUST LIMITED TO, UH, THE BLOCK LEADERS, UH, BUT WE'LL BE GIVING OUT FREE TREES.
UH, AND, UM, SO JUST TO REMIND YOU, WE WON THAT MILLION DOLLAR, UH, GRANT.
IT WAS AN INFLATION REDUCTION ACT IN US FOREST SERVICE, URBAN AND COMMUNITY FORESTRY PROGRAM.
UH, AND WHAT WE'LL BE DOING IS HELPING TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT, UH, THE GREAT REASONS TO PLANT TREES.
UH, WE WERE OUT AT PETALUMA NIGHT OUT, UH, EARLIER THIS WEEK.
UH, WE'VE GOT NEXT THURSDAY, UH, IS THE NEW EVENT HAPPENING AT THE FAIRGROUNDS.
IT IS LIKE A COMMUNITY PICNIC AND MUSIC THAT WE'LL BE, UH, DOING, UH, PROMOTION THERE AT, UH, EX EXPLAINING THE REASONS WHY IT'S, UH, TO PLANT A TREE.
AS WE KNOW, IT IS A GREAT WAY TO, UH, SEQUESTER CARBON, UH, FILTERS THE AIR.
IT'S, WE'RE GONNA EDUCATE PEOPLE ON ALL THOSE PIECES WITH RELIEF.
UH, BUT THE KEY PIECE IS, IS THAT PEOPLE CAN PLANT ON THEIR PROPERTY AS MANY TREES AS THEY CAN ACCEPT ON THEIR PROPERTY.
UH, IT'LL BE PLANTED BY RELIEF VOLUNTEERS.
SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS PEOPLE THAT SAY, YES, I WANT A TREE, AND THEN THEY'RE AN ARBORIST WILL COME OUT AND ASSESS, UH, THEIR PROPERTY, AND THEN THEY JUST HAVE TO AGREE TO CARE FOR THE TREE.
UH, AND, UM, THERE'S CONSULT CONSULTATIONS FOR THREE YEARS TO SUPPORT THOSE TREES AS THE, UH, ONCE THEY'RE IN THE GROUND.
SO, UM, THERE'S GONNA BE A, UH, GROW THE CANOPY INFO HAPPY HOUR HAPPENING ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD, EXACTLY AT FROM SIX TO SEVEN.
UH, IT'S IN THE BACK ROOM OF CROOKED GOAT RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
UH, AND THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN HEAR RELIEF, EXPLAIN WHAT TREES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PLANTING, UH, AND ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHATEVER MAY COME UP AROUND THAT.
BUT THAT INFORMATION SESSION IS NOT REQUIRED.
UH, YOU CAN GO AND ACTUALLY JUST REGISTER DIRECTLY TO HAVE TREES.
IF YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU WHAT TREES, UH, THAT YOU WANT, THEN THAT YOU HAVE A SPACE AND YOU KNOW WHAT TYPE OF TREE YOU WANT, UH, YOU CAN JUST GO DIRECTLY ONTO THE COOL PETALUMA FRONT PAGE.
THERE'S A LINK, UH, OR YOU CAN GO TO RELIEFS PAGE.
SO YOU CAN GO TO WHATEVER ONE, UH, YOU ARE MOST, UH, LIKELY TO REMEMBER TO PLANT, UH, TO SIGN UP TO, EITHER FOR THE INFORMATION SESSION AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, OR TO JUST STRAIGHT, JUST HAVE THE TREES AND THE TREE PLANTINGS.
ARBORIST VISITS WILL HAPPEN IN MID-SEPTEMBER.
AND, UH, THE TREE PLANTINGS WILL START HAPPENING LATE SEPTEMBER, UH, EARLY OCTOBER, AND THEY'LL GO THROUGH NOVEMBER.
UH, AND WE, UH, LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING THOSE TREES IN THE GROUND.
UM, AND THEN THE LAST ITEM JUST TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH BLUE ZONES.
UH, AND IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF OVERLAP ON THREE KEY PIECES, UH, THAT MATCH HOW OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, UH, COMMUNITY BUILDING PROGRAM WORKS, WHICH IS, UH, WALKING MOIS, WHICH, AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE DO PASTA GIATA.
AND SO THIS IS A WAY TO HELP, UH, GROW THAT.
UH, THE JIS ARE BASICALLY STEP OUT AT SEVEN O'CLOCK ON A THURSDAY, IS HOW WE HAVE DONE THAT.
AND THE WHOLE IDEA IS THAT YOU'RE COMMUNITY BUILDING, YOU'RE GETTING OUT AND
[00:10:01]
WALKING AFTER DINNER, ENGAGING WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS.UH, WE'RE WORKING WITH BLUE ZONES ON THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PROGRAM THAT ALIGNS WITH THAT, UH, AS WELL AS, UH, PURPOSE, UH, WORKSHOPS THAT THEY CAN OFFER TO THEIR BLOCKS.
AND, UH, THE, MY FAVORITE ONE IS THEY HAVE A POTLUCK.
THEY'RE JUST WAYS TO SHOW, TO KIND OF HELP PEOPLE.
UH, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A PRO A PROGRAM SUPPORT OF LIKE, HERE'S HOW YOU ORGANIZE A POTLUCK AND THEN, UH, WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS.
SO THAT, AND GIVE, AND KIND OF HELP PEOPLE LEARN THE PROCESS.
I'M NOT DOING A VERY GOOD JOB OF EXPLAINING THAT, MY APOLOGIES.
BUT THE FUN PART IS, IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO HAVE INDUCTION STOVE TOP, UH, EDUCATION BUILT INTO THAT.
UH, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, SNOW CLEAN POWER HAS AN INDUCTION STOVETOP CHECKOUT SYSTEM.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO GET PEOPLE TO EVEN SEE WHAT AN INDUCTION, HOW EASY THEY ARE, AND HOW, HOW IT IS A LEARNING CURVE.
BUT THEY'RE, IT, IT, THE FOOD TASTES GREAT, DOESN'T TASTE INDIFFERENT.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS OBVIOUSLY THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE THEM OR HAVE TRIED.
ONE IS YOU DON'T SMELL THE GAS.
AND SO THIS IS REALLY AN IMPORTANT PIECE FOR US TO, UH, EDUCATE AS THESE PEOPLE, AS OUR NEIGHBORS ARE DOING, UH, AS OUR BLOCK LEADERS ARE DOING, UH, THESE POTLUCKS.
UH, AND SO, UH, THAT'LL BE ROLLING OUT OVER, UH, THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS AS WELL.
SO, UH, WE'RE EXCITED TO BE, UH, REENGAGING AND GOING DEEPER INTO THE COMMUNITY WITH THESE PROGRAMS. AND IN THE MEANTIME, UH, WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT MONTH AND EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
[GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT]
NOW WE OPEN FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT.DURING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT, THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO MAKE COMMENTS ON ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST THAT ARE WITHIN THE CITY COUNCIL'S.
SUBJECT MATTER SHOULD BE THE CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSIONS, RIGHT SUBJECT MATTER, UH, JURISDICTIONS, AND THAT ARE NOT LISTED ON THE CURRENT AGENDA.
PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER PERSON.
DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF PERSONS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL.
TIME WILL BE ALLOCATED IN EQUAL SHARES, TOTALING NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES
DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? OKAY, WE'RE JUST KILLING IT TODAY.
[APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
APPROVAL OF MINUTES IS THE, IS THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA.UM, THIS IS FOR THE MEETING OF JUNE 13TH, UH, AND CHAIR.
THOSE ARE TYPICALLY DEEMED APPROVED UNLESS ANY OF THE MEMBERS HAVE COMMENTS OR, UM, EDITS TO IT.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR ANYTHING TO ADD? GREAT.
UM, THEN THOSE ARE DEEMED APPROVED.
NOW IS TIME FOR THE COMMISSION
[COMMISSION COMMENT]
COMMENT.UM, IF THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE AWARENESS ITEMS TO BE SHARED, UM, THEY MUST BE RELEVANT TO OUR COMMISSION, CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION.
EACH CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION MEMBER SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
SO WHO WOULD LIKE TO START? CHAIR PETERS, I HAVE A COUPLE THINGS.
UM, THE, I GUESS THE FIRST THING, THE RESILIENCY CENTER REPORT FROM THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
PATRICK, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE GONNA MAKE A STAFF COMMENT ON THAT, BUT, OKAY.
UM, IT, IT IS KIND OF A REQUIREMENT FOR THE GRANT TO, TO HAVE THAT, TO HOLD THAT.
SO IT WAS KIND OF CHECKING A BOX, BUT I CAN GO INTO MORE DEPTH IF THERE'S INTEREST.
YEAH, IT WAS, THERE WAS, AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING, THERE WAS SOMETHING, UH, ABOUT A RESILIENCY CENTER.
AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU READ THE REPORT, IT WAS INTERESTING.
IT SORT OF, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, IT LOOKED LIKE THEY LOOKED AT ESTABLISH IT IF THE COMMUNITY CENTER OVER AT LUCCHESE WOULD BE A FEASIBLE SPOT FOR A RESILIENCY CENTER.
AND IT KIND OF TALKED ABOUT WHAT A RESILIENCY CENTER IS.
AND THEN MY READ OF THE REPORT WAS THAT IT WAS DEEMED THAT THE, UM, COMMUN COMMUNITY CENTER WOULD NOT BE ADEQUATE FOR THAT, AND THAT THE FAIRGROUNDS WOULD BE A BETTER LOCATION, WHICH I THINK IS MAYBE NOT NECESSARILY RELEVANT NEWS TO MOST PEOPLE, BUT AT LEAST NOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS AWARE OF THAT.
AND WE ARE DOING, WE ARE CHECKING THE BOXES AS FAR AS A GRANT IS CONCERNED.
AND PERHAPS PATRICK CAN FILL US IN ON THAT.
BUT, UH, I THINK WE'RE AT THE POINT, UH, IN A FORMAL WAY THAT THE CITY IS CONSIDERING RESILIENCY CENTER AT THE FAIRGROUNDS, WHATEVER THAT MEANS.
SO, UM, BASED ON OUR DISCUSSION AT THE LAST MEETING ABOUT THE SAFETY ELEMENT, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK OF RESILIENCY CENTERS AND ALL THAT, I THOUGHT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO BRING UP.
UM, AND, YOU KNOW, SEEMS LIKE SOMEWHAT, UH, GOOD NEWS.
UM, THE OTHER COMMENT I'LL MAKE JUST BRIEFLY IS, UM, IN TERMS OF THE NEXT MEETING OR
[00:15:01]
POSSIBLY THE MEETING AFTER THAT, UH, I LOOK FORWARD TO MOVING BEYOND, UM, WORKING ON PLANS AND MOVING TO IMPLEMENTATION.AND, UM, I THINK AT WITHIN THE NEXT MEETING OR TWO MEETINGS, WE SHOULD HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM FOR DISCUSSING THE RECREATION OF AD HOCS.
UH, SPECIFIC TO IMPLEMENTATION, MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE WOULD BE SOME KIND OF AD HOC RELATED TO, UH, SOME OR ALL OF THE CORNERSTONE ACTIONS SO THAT NOW WE HAVE A, UH, SOMEWHAT INFORMAL GROUP OF COMMISSION MEMBERS THAT IS FURTHERING THE CORNERSTONE ACTIONS THAT ARE ADOPTED AS PART OF THIS.
SO, UM, IN MENTION THIS COMMENT, NOW I'M MAKING YOU ALL AWARE THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS AGENDAS, UH, AT THE NEXT MEETING.
AND, YOU KNOW, IF WE NEED TO VOTE ON THE CREATION OF AN AD HOC RATE OR IF WE CAN DO IT IN AN INFORMAL WAY, THAT WOULD BE GOOD TOO.
UH, BUT THAT IS MY GOAL IS, UH, AS SOON AS WE VOTE ON IT, AND THEN THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTES ON IT, AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL VOTES ON IT.
AND IF THAT'S THREE MEETINGS AWAY, THAT WE SHOULD BE READY TO GO WITH AN AD HOC IN THREE MEETINGS.
UH, SORRY, CAN YOU, UH, JUST DIVE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ON WHAT YOU, HOW YOU, HOW YOU SEE THESE AD HOCS, UH, HELPING ON THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS? YEAH.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE ONE, UM, ELEMENT OR CORNERSTONE ACTION IS, UH, TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS AND SOME OF THE ACTION RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS.
AND SO, UM, THERE'S A COUPLE OF SPECIFIC ACTIONS IN THERE, AND THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS IN PROCESS THAT I THINK AN AD HOC COULD HELP, UH, INFORM OR AT LEAST ELEVATE TO THE BODY.
SO, UH, AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE LIKE THE EV CHARGING MASTER PLAN GRANT, WHICH IS CURRENTLY A CONVERSATION EXISTING WITH CITY STAFF AND OUR CONSULTANT, UM, NV FIVE, RIGHT? AND SO, UM, THAT'S GREAT THAT THAT CONVERSATION IS TAKING PLACE.
THE COMMISSION IS NOT NECESSARILY BEING BRIEFED ON THAT OTHER THAN THROUGH PATRICK WHO, YOU KNOW, MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE APPROPRIATE PERSON TO SHARE ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND HELP PROGRESS THE SUPPORT WORK THAT THE COMMISSION CAN PROVIDE.
UM, YOU KNOW, AND NOT TO GO INTO TOO MUCH, UH, DEPTH IN THE PAST, BUT THAT, TO ME, THE SCOPING OF THAT CONSULTING AGREEMENT, UH, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LEARNING PERHAPS IN THE WAY THOSE TYPES OF DOCUMENTS ARE SCOPED.
AND SO, AS AN AD HOC, IF YOU ARE ABLE TO MEET WITH THE CITY AND THE CONSULTANT IN A SOMEWHAT MORE ENGAGED WAY, YOU CAN HELP ACHIEVE FURTHER PROGRESS ON, UM, SOME OF THESE CRITICAL ITEMS. YOU KNOW, ANOTHER ONE WOULD BE THE CCO ENERGY AUDIT, RIGHT? WHICH WE, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GET, UH, UPDATES FROM, FROM PATRICK, RIGHT? AND AT THIS POINT, WE ARE RECEIVING UPDATES, WHEREAS WE HAVE, UH, BUILDING SCIENCE EXPERTS ON THE BODY.
AND THE, IF YOU READ THE ENABLING DOCUMENT OF THE CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE EXPERTS TO THE CITY AND THE PUBLIC IN FURTHERING THIS WORK.
THAT EXPERTISE HASN'T NECESSARILY, UM, BEEN FURTHERED IN, UH, A PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION WAY, RIGHT? IT HAS BEEN, UM, RECEIVING INFORMATION, POSSIBLY VOTING ON INFORMATION, BUT PROV NOT PROVIDING GUIDANCE OR EXPERTISE.
UM, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CITY STAFF DOESN'T HAVE THAT EXPERTISE.
NOW, WE'RE ESSENTIALLY RELYING ON STAFF TO SCOPE, UH, SOMETHING WHICH MAY NOT BE WITHIN THEIR EXPERTISE, AND THEN PROVIDING, UH, A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE INPUT FROM CONSULTANTS.
AND SO THOSE ARE JUST TWO EXAMPLES, UH, OF MANY.
BUT I THINK THE IDEA WITH AN AD HOC OR MULTIPLE AD HOCS IS THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, MORE DISCUSSION CAN BE HAD WITH CITY STAFF AND WITH EXTERNAL CONSULTANTS, WHICH, UM, IS NOT QUITE THE FORMAT OF PRESENTATIONS TO THIS BODY.
AND, YOU KNOW, HAPPY TO GO INTO MORE DEPTH AND MAYBE, UH, ONCE IT BECOMES AN AGENDA ITEM.
THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR PETERS, WHO WOULD LIKE TO GO NEXT? UH, THANK YOU, CHAIR, OR, YOU KNOW, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW POSITION.
UH, SO I JUST HAVE A COUPLE, UH, LITTLE ITEMS. UH, ONE IS THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S ANOTHER BODY THAT, THAT DOES GREAT WORK.
AND I THINK JUST WANNA HIGHLIGHT, UH, HERE THAT'S AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, WHICH IS THE CLIMATE ACTION AND
[00:20:01]
RESILIENCY DIVISION.AND SO I THINK SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, FOR FOLKS THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT DON'T LIVE WITHIN THE CITY, STILL WANNA BE ENGAGED, UH, MAYBE THEY'RE NOT INCORPORATED OR YOU JUST WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT COMMISSIONER COUNTIES.
COMMISSIONER DY, COULD YOU SPEAK A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE? I'M SORRY.
IS THAT BETTER? THAT'S BETTER.
SO IF YOU WANNA LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT KIND OF, UH, UH, SUSTAINABILITY COORDINATION IS HAPPENING AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO, TO CHECK OUT, UH, CARD AS THEY'RE, THEY'RE KNOWN AND, UH, YOU KNOW, AND SEE, SEE HOW YOU CAN PLUG IN THAT WAY.
UH, SO THERE'S JUST A LOT GOING ON THAT'S KIND OF BEHIND THE SCENES.
SO JUST WANTED TO, TO PLUG, UH, THAT, UH, THEIR, THEIR EFFORTS, UH, THAT ARE KIND OF IN PARALLEL WITH OURS.
SO, UH, THAT WAS JUST ONE THING.
AND THEN THE OTHER IS I RECENTLY DOWNLOADED THE ONE PETALUMA PODCAST.
I'M NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS BEEN LISTENING, BUT IT WAS PRETTY COOL.
UH, THEY HAD SOME PRETTY GOOD INTERVIEWS ON COMPLETE STREETS.
UH, I THINK THERE'S THE SECOND EPISODE, AND THEN I THINK THERE'S A, THERE'S ONE COMING OUT THAT'S GONNA BE ALL ABOUT FIRE AND FIRE RESPONSE.
SO SOME REALLY INTERESTING, UH, CONVERSATIONS HAPPENING.
AND IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT THE CITY'S DOING AND WHY.
UM, AND THEN I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE ALL OF US
I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO BE INTERVIEWED AS PART OF, UH, THIS PODCAST BECAUSE I THINK THAT OUR WORK, WHILE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE MAY COME TO THE MEETING OR MAYBE BE ABLE TO SEE THE BROADCAST LATER, IT, IT'S JUST A, A WAY OF, UM, MAKING IT MORE VISIBLE WHAT, WHAT IT IS WE'RE, WE'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.
AND THEN I WILL BE AT THE TREE PLANT, UH, PLANTING, UH, HAPPY HOUR.
WE'RE RE LANDSCAPING RIGHT NOW, SO LOOKING FOR A COUPLE SMALL TREES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE, THAT.
UH, I'M, I'M JUST SO EXCITED WE GOT THAT, UM, GRANT AND, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ALL THE, THE GREAT TREES PLANTED AROUND TOWN 'CAUSE OF THAT.
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE PETALUMA MUSIC FESTIVAL, UM, ON THE BOARD OF THE FESTIVAL, BUT THIS WAS OUR GREENEST FESTIVAL EVER.
SO WE REALLY REDUCED OUR WAYS TO BE PARTNERED WITH, UH, SPARKLE.
AND WE DID REUSE, UH, BEER CUPS AND WINE CUPS, AND THAT REALLY DRAMATICALLY REDUCED OUR WASTE.
WE DID OUR BEST TO SORT ALL OF THE WASTE AT THE POINT THAT IT WAS DROPPED OFF.
IT WAS MOSTLY SUCCESSFUL, BUT THEN THERE WAS A WHOLE HAND SORTING THE NEXT DAY
SO ANYWAY, UM, I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANY, UH, EVENT IN THE CITY TO DO AS MUCH AS THEY CAN TO REDUCE THEIR WASTE.
I JUST HAVE A QUICK CLARIFYING QUESTION.
THE CUPS THAT YOU WERE USING, ARE THOSE PURPLE ONES THAT THEY'RE USING AT SOME PLACES AROUND THE CITY? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? NO.
THEY'RE CALLED SPARKLE, AND THEY PROVIDE, THEY CAN PROVIDE, UH, YOU KNOW, DISHWARE, FORKS, SPOONS, THAT SORT OF THING.
BUT WE JUST USED THEIR REASONABLE BEER CUPS AND RE REASONABLE WINE CUPS.
SO WE CHARGED A, WE GAVE THE, THE, UH, CONCERT GOERS AN OPTION SO THEY COULD PUT A $3 DEPOSIT DOWN ON A BEER CUP AND THEN USE IT ALL DAY AND THEN TURN IT IN AT A BOOTH AND GET A DOLLAR BACK.
SO WE, WE, UH, WHAT REALLY HELPED TO MAKE IT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE WAS THAT RECOLOGY DONATED ALL OF OUR BINS AND GARBAGE CONTAINERS FOR US.
AND I BELIEVE THE CITY GAVE US A, A GRANT AS WELL.
SO KIND OF DIDN'T COST US ANYTHING.
THAT, AND THE BUTTER AND EGGS, GREEN BUTTER AND EGGS PARADE THIS YEAR, WE'RE REALLY MAKING SOME PROGRESS.
DO YOU WANNA GO NEXT, COMMISSIONER? NOT MUCH TO REPORT.
IT'S BEEN KIND OF A SLEEPY SUMMER, BUT, UM, I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN SPENDING SOME TIME WITH THE COOL PETALUMA TEAM WORKING ON ADVANCED PLANNING FOR THE YEAR AHEAD.
THERE'S A LOT OF, UH, I GUESS MOMENTUM GATHERING BEHIND THE ORGANIZATION AND SOME REALLY INTRIGUING IDEAS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD AND AND BEYOND.
SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR TODAY.
UH, I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO REPORT TONIGHT.
UM, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BLUEPRINT COMING NEXT MONTH.
UM, I JUST KIND OF HAVE HAD IN MIND THAT, UM, WHEN WE FIRST SET OUT ON THIS COMMISSION, WE, WE SET UP FOUR PILLARS, UM, IN THE FRAMEWORK.
WE TALKED ABOUT EQUITY AND ENGAGEMENT AND MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION.
AND OFTEN THE COMMISSION FOCUSES ON MITIGATION.
'CAUSE THAT'S KIND OF LIKE WHERE, UM, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE WORK TAKES PLACE.
BUT, UM, I JUST WANNA REMIND EVERYONE THAT, THAT THE EQUITY FOCUSES IS SUPER CRITICAL
[00:25:01]
AND, AND ALSO ENGAGEMENT.AND THOSE ARE ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT WAYS THAT WE GET THE WORK DONE.
UM, AND THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD INTO THE GENERAL GRANT PROCESS, THE ADAPTATION PILLAR KIND OF GOT ORPHANED A BIT AND THAT THE GPAC GROUP HAS BEEN HOLDING THAT, BUT AT SOME POINT THE COMMISSION'S GONNA HAVE TO PICK IT BACK UP 'CAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL.
SO I JUST WANNA PUT THAT OUT THERE, UH, UH, SO THAT WE THINK ABOUT THAT GOING INTO THIS COMING YEAR.
COMMISSIONER KRISHNA, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? UH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY I'M HONORED TO BE HERE AND THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR THE WARM WELCOME.
I WILL TRY AND DO MY BEST TO DO THE SEAT JUSTICE.
AND WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE.
UM, WELL FOR ME, UM, I JUST LI LIKE THE DIRECTION, LIKE WHAT CHAIR, UH, VICE CHAIR PETER SAID THE PLAN, MOVING FROM PLANNING TO IMPLEMENTATION.
I THINK THAT'S A REALLY NICE, LIKE MOVING FROM, YOU KNOW, THINKING TO ACTION, UM, WAY OF THINKING ABOUT WHAT'S, WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US THIS YEAR.
UM, I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION IN RESPONSE TO, UM, COMMISSIONER GARDY THAT THE CARD, UM, I BELIEVE IS ACTUALLY, THERE'S LIKE A THREAT OF FUNDING BEING PULLED FROM THEM.
AND SO I JUST WANT EVERYBODY HERE TO KNOW THAT, SO THAT AS WE YEAH.
AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD, WE'RE MAKING SURE TO SUPPORT, SUPPORT THAT ORGANIZATION.
'CAUSE IT'S AN INCREDIBLE RESOURCE, UM, FOR BUSINESSES AND, YOU KNOW, UH, JUST PEOPLE.
COULD YOU SAY AGAIN WHAT CARD STANDS FOR? OH YEAH, CARD STANDS FOR, UM, I THINK WE DIDN'T HEAR THAT ONE.
CLIMATE ACTION AND RESILIENCY DIVISION OF SONOMA COUNTY.
AND THEN THE OTHER THING I HEARD ABOUT SORT OF WHERE WE CAN BE FOCUSING OURSELVES THIS YEAR IS, UM, FOCUSING ON MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ALSO THINKING ABOUT ADAPTATION AS WELL AS THE MITIGATION AND THE ENGAGEMENT.
UM, I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE, WE'LL IZE SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO AGENDIZE I GUESS IS, IS UM, HOW WE WANNA BE USING THE NEXT, UM, 12 MONTHS, UM, IN THIS COMMISSION.
SO IF EVERYBODY COULD BE THINKING ABOUT THAT, I'D LOVE TO HEAR EVERY YOUR 2 CENTS.
UM, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE, SO I BELIEVE NOW IS
[STAFF COMMENT]
TIME FOR STAFF COMMENT.ASHLEY, I HAVE QUITE A FEW THINGS TO UPDATE ON.
UM, I'LL START OFF WITH THE FUN ONE 'CAUSE IT'S MOSTLY DONE.
UM, THE HEAT PUMP, WATER HEATER PROJECT THAT WE'RE DOING WITH WILLAN, IT'S THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT K THROUGH 12 PROGRAM THROUGH PG AND E.
UM, WE'VE GOTTEN $0 INSTALL INSTALLED, UM, HEAT PUMP, WATER HEATERS, AND QUITE A FEW OF OUR CITY FACILITIES.
NONE IN THIS BUILDING BECAUSE WE'RE ON A BOILER CHILLER SYSTEM CURRENTLY.
BUT THE CITY ATTORNEY'S, UM, OFFICE JUST BEHIND US IN THE PELLUM OF PEOPLE SERVICES, BOTH GOT IT.
THE HARBOR MASTERS GOT IN IT, UH, TWO AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, UM, PUBLIC WORKS WATERFIELD OFFICE.
UM, THE CORP YARD GOT TO, SO JUST ALL OVER THE PLACE.
UM, HOT WATER THAT WAS, UM, BEING WATER THAT WAS BEING HEATED WITH GAS IS NOW BEING DONE BY HEAT PUMPS.
SO ELECTRIFICATION ISS HAPPENING.
UM, ONE THING WE REALIZED IS WE HAVE A LOT OF OLD PIPES IN OUR FACILITIES.
SO, UM, I'VE GOTTEN SEVERAL CALLS FROM FACILITIES SAYING, YOU JUST DID THE WATER HEATER AND NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY PRESSURE.
WELL, THERE'S A BUNCH OF JUNK IN THE PIPES.
AND SO YOU UNSCREW THE AERATOR AND YOU DUMP OUT LIKE A POUND OF, OF SILT
UM, SO YEAH, A FEW LEARN FEW, FEW THINGS THAT WE'RE LEARNING ON IT.
THE OTHER ONE IS THAT, UM, OUR PANELS, AND I THINK I SAID THIS LAST TIME WE MET, OUR PANELS ARE AT CAPACITY, SO WE WERE ABLE TO SQUEEZE A BUNCH OF THESE ON, BUT REALLY, LIKE IF WE'RE LOOKING AT HVAC IN THE FUTURE, WE'RE LOOKING AT SERVICE UPGRADES, WHICH IS A LOT OF MONEY AND A LOT OF TIME TO MAKE HAPPEN.
AND I KNOW COMMISSIONER GARDY, UM, WAS PUSHING FOR THIS PROGRAM TO HAPPEN.
AND I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT MOST OF THE FACILITIES THAT WE WERE LOOKING TO DO OR DONE, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE REALIZED IS WHEN WE STARTED THIS, UM, WE DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE FAIRGROUNDS, SO WE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE FAIRGROUNDS.
SO NOW WE'RE GOING BACK WITH WILLAN AND, UH, TOMORROW THEY'RE GONNA DO SOME INSPECTIONS OF FACILITIES AT THE FAIRGROUNDS AND SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME MORE $0, UH, RETROFITS HAPPENING THERE.
UM, SO JUST AN EXCITING DEVELOPMENT THERE.
[00:30:01]
ON TO THE NEXT ONE.THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME FOR A LOT OF MONTHS ON.
UM, IT'S, IT'S WASTE REDUCTION.
SO IT'S, IT'S THERE, THERE'S A CLIMATE CONNECTION TO IT.
UM, BUT THAT'S THE PURPLE CUPS THAT, UH, I HEARD MENTIONED EARLIER THAT, UH, 30 OF OUR BUSINESSES HERE IN PETALUMA ARE PARTICIPATING IN WITH ALL THOSE PURPLE DROP-OFF BINS AROUND TOWN.
UM, THAT PROGRAM FOR REUSING CUPS IS UNDERWAY.
UM, IT'S A THREE MONTH PILOT PROJECT AND IT'S REALLY JUST ABOUT GETTING THAT DATA FINDING OUT IN A CITY THAT IS IN AS ENTHUSIASTIC IN HOW MANY, HOW MUCH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
IF WE CAN MAKE THAT WORK HERE, WE CAN BE A MODEL FOR OTHER CITIES AND, UH, ALL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
SO REALLY EXCITED THAT THAT'S HAPPENING.
UM, I'VE DONE TONS OF INTERVIEWS, LOTS OF EMAILS FROM PRESS THAT'S, THAT'S HAPPENING ALL OVER THE NEW YORK TIMES.
WE'VE HAD SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, UH, THE GUARDIAN IS CALLING, SO THEY ALL OVER THE PLACE, UM, WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PROGRAM.
SO, UM, PUTTING PETALUMA ON THE MAP FOR, FOR WASTE REDUCTION EFFORTS.
AND, UH, YEAH, JUST AS AN ASIDE, I THINK IT, THERE WAS A, AN ARTICLE RECENTLY THAT PLUMA WAS RECOGNIZED AS THE VI ONE OF THE TOP 15 VIBES CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING NOTICED HERE.
WE'RE DOING SOME GOOD THINGS THAT ARE, THAT'S GETTING ATTENTION.
UM, I THINK IT WAS APARTMENT THERAPY.
I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PUBLICATION IS, BUT, UH, THEY, THEY VOTED PETALUMA, ONE OF THE MOST IEST CITIES IN, IN THE COUNTRY, UM, ON FLOATING SOLAR.
UH, WE HAVE FINISHED DESIGN, WE'RE MOVING IN THE, THE PERMITTING PHASE AND WE'RE STILL ON TRACK TO BREAK GROUND OR I GUESS WATER.
DO YOU BREAK WATER AND FLOAT, YOU'RE READY TO FLOAT, UM, BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
UM, AND THAT'LL TAKE ABOUT A YEAR TO INSTALL.
UM, BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO START THAT PROCESS THIS YEAR.
IT'S ABOUT A SIX MEGAWATT INSTALLATION, UM, AS MENTIONED.
AND, AND THE BIG FOCUS FOR NEXT MONTH, UM, IS GONNA BE THE BLUEPRINT FOR CLIMATE ACTION, FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE BLUEPRINT FOR CARBON NEUTRALITY.
I GUESS THEY'RE TRYING TO KEEP US PAYING ATTENTION BY CHANGING THE NAME EVERY NOW AND THEN.
UM, SO THAT'LL BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THIS NEXT MEETING OF THE CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION.
UM, AND THEN AS MENTIONED, IT GOES ON TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN OCTOBER AND THE COUNCIL HOPEFULLY IN NOVEMBER.
UM, I AM GOING TO WORK WITH PLANNING STAFF TO GET THE COMMISSION, UH, THE, UM, DRAFT OF THIS, UH, WITH AS MUCH TIME TO REVIEW AS POSSIBLE.
IT'S A BIG DOCUMENT, DON'T WANNA RUSH THROUGH IT, AND IT DOESN'T DO IT JUSTICE IF, IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, JUST A FEW DAYS TO REVIEW.
SO I'M WORKING IN THE BACKGROUND TO, TO GET THAT RELEASED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE CENTER.
PAT, I GUESS PATRICK ON THAT, UM, I DUNNO IF YOU'LL BE EMAILING LIKE INSTRUCTIONS AHEAD OF TIME WHEN WE DO THAT OR NOT, BUT THE IDEAS THAT WE CAN'T NECESSARILY MAKE REVISIONS OR CHANGES AT THE NEXT MEETING, OR COULD YOU BE MORE EXPLICIT IN THE EXPECTATIONS? WE'LL GIVE GUIDANCE WHEN IT GOES OUT FOR SURE.
WHAT, I MEAN, HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT SHOCKING.
I MEAN, WE DID GET ABOUT 2000 COMMENTS ON IT THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS, SO SOME THINGS GOT ADDRESSED AND SOME THINGS, UH, YOU KNOW, WERE CHANGED FOR WHATEVER REASON.
UM, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL GIVE EXPECTATIONS, LIKE TRY TO SET THE EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT, WHAT PLANNING STAFF IS LOOKING FOR.
UM, APPRECIATE THAT CLARIFICATION.
COMMUNITY RESILIENCY CENTERS, UM, AS, AS MENTIONED, UM, WE GOT A GRANT, UM, TO LOOK AT THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A COMMUNITY RESILIENCY CENTER PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO DURING EMERGENCIES TO COOL OFF CHARGE PHONES, GET INFORMATION, UH, COORDINATE WITH PEOPLE, UM, GOOD WIFI TO LIKE GET, GET INFORMATION OUT THERE, UM, STAFF AVAILABLE TO CONVEY INFORMATION, UH, WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE COMMUNITY CENTER WOULD BE THAT PLACE.
UM, AND AS WE INTERVIEWED STAFF MEMBERS, UM, STAFF FROM THE COUNTY, OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, UH, THEY FOUND THAT THE COMMUNITY CENTER WASN'T THE BEST SPOT FOR IT.
UM, THERE'S MULT, THERE'S PROGRAMMING, THERE'S ISSUES, UM, YOU KNOW, IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO GET PEOPLE FROM ONE SIDE OF THE TOWN TO THE OTHER.
SO THERE'S LIKE LOGISTICAL REASONS THAT THEY DIDN'T FEEL THAT THAT WAS THE BEST FIT FOR IT.
SO, UM, AND THE FEEDBACK WE GOT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AT THE FAIRGROUNDS AS A PLACE FOR THAT FUNCTION TO BE FILLED IN THE FUTURE.
ALSO ON THAT FRONT, UM, I RECENTLY SUBMITTED A
[00:35:01]
GRANT TO, UM, THE HOUSING, UH, THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.UM, THEY HAVE A GRANT FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT.
UM, AND SO WE SUBMIT A $1.2 MILLION GRANT TO STUDY A COMMUNITY RESILIENCY CENTER AT THE FAIRGROUNDS.
