| | 4. | | Reports on Breakout Room discussions
Minutes note: a. Tree Canopy - Janet reported that tree canopy has broad impact in the city; good job creation, many co-benefits; policy ideas include tax incentives for tree maintenance, requirements of developers; long-term budgeting for maintenance is a concern; this group will identify areas for further research and development and ask for volunteers to work on those areas prior to meeting; Kelly will put this together
b. Food / Urban Ag - Bruce reported that the topic of vacant lots was also discussed; soil carbon may also be covered; they addressed all highlighted sections of the template; impacts will be hard to measure; this group needs to narrow down their focus due to a large number of ideas identified; Linda urged this group to focus on ideas that will build on existing initiatives that have been identified; Janet suggested the SARE report of UW-Extension as a resource
c. Transit-Oriented Development – Monica had left the meeting at 12:10 but submitted the Transit template to the chair; Linda raised a concern about any major zoning policy recommendation that would require action by other municipalities in the County; Ben noted that SEWRPC Vision 2050 plan covers TOD and is a good resource; Sam noted that DCD will foster this project whether or not it is adopted as a Task Force project
