Minutes note: Erick Shambarger brought us up to speed
Erick – Outreach grant; $30k came through from Brico with support from CAW
Vulnerability document w/Clean WI – why you should care
Flooding will be a big focus
Extreme storms
Heat waves; public health; heat island effect; tree canopy
Lake levels could be addressed; timeline on this
In migration to Milwaukee will have an impact
Solutions section
Job opportunities will be mentioned
Electrify and improve air quality
Will financing be addressed
Can we connect this to nonprofit groups to get a better response than we will get to government
Pam to circulate scope document for the contract w/2 days for member comment
Need small chunks for social media
Tank brain needs an interviewer
could be George; Supreme is a possibility but we must be nonpartisan
Outreach will address this at TF meeting tomorrow w/recommendation that George serve as spokesperson/interviewer
decide how to push out the content; the communications plan

| | 4. | | Discussion and recommendation of possible media release to invite the public and its involvement or summarize where the Task Force is at. Recommendation is due to the Task Force prior to its February 17th meeting.
Minutes note: Bruce recommends that we need to announce an event based on his experience and based on Climate Action Planning; subgroup could work on this
George – let’s issue an update now; it may not be our purpose now to invite the public; consider newsletters of Common Council members and supervisors – give them material to insert in their communications; use our list of organizations that can receive our material; a webinar could include chairs of working groups but this is a plan for further down the pike
George – discuss whether this release is for an update or for an invitation to the public
Pam – update; WG should create a campaign plan with a timeline and assignment of duties
Erick – update; start planning an event but don’t hold it until the vulnerability report is ready in March; prepare a campaign plan now
Bruce – let’s do both
Supreme – do both; use NAACP model; expect a flood of people asking to join WGs; we should welcome them but provide them with a summary of progress to date that would get them up to speed
Pam – on timeline for vulnerability report; it may not be finalized before mid-March
George – to summarize, some of us want to do both, but with an update being the more immediate action
Erick – interest in WGs from public is overwhelming him; chairs need to take control of who is in the groups; web page can close off the WG sign up but allow sign up for updates
George – let’s focus now on press release now; defer the public outreach (the target date for this is under discussion)
There is general consensus on this
Erick – wants to work with George and a few people to update the website and address concerns that people have with getting information and access to meetings and documents; wants to target mid-March now, knowing that it will land at the end in reality
Pam – for her WG, she is inviting everyone on the spreadsheet
Erick – communication plan; hire an expert to do this? There is a small budget for this
George – Pam had suggested a subgroup for this
Bruce – a local expert could be good
Pam – Earth Day; Erick – do it sooner or it will get lost
George – calls for consensus on media release for mid-March; none opposed
