| | 4. | | American Rescue Plan Funds
Minutes note: a. City is receiving $400+ million. Full task force discussed potential proposals with ARPA funds that could be done in the near term to support long term climate goals
b. Initial proposal of BEB pay as you save plan was discussed by Transit subgroup and they decided not to submit that for ARPA funds at this time
c. James: Is DPW submitting strategies/proposals that we could co-sign? More effective than coming up with new ideas and submitting
d. Matt: City is going through process of submitting proposals to budget office for approval. We currently don’t have a list of what each department is proposing.

| | 5. | | Timelines for Producing Detailed Proposals
Minutes note: a. Early June is the target for proposals to start being submitted to Task Force. Ideas do not need to have all the details sorted out, but a 1-2 page proposal on major strategies to submit to the Task Force
b. Ted: Conversation with Erick Shambarger – the Transportation Section of the Plan will be two chapters, VMT reduction and Fuel Switching/electrification. Allows for more flexibility within proposals and “big ideas”
c. Matt: Having two chapters allows for multiple strategies to come from our groups. Transportation sector is complex and we understand that more proposed strategies are needed to meet goals.

Minutes note: a. Accelerating Fuel Shift –
i. WE Energies pilot – work with Renew and other groups like CUB to evaluate We Energies EV pilot program. Make comment in support or determine if there are improvements we would like to see.
ii. Continue conversation with We Energies about EV infrastructure – quickest way to scale up charging network is partnership with utility. The City actively working with We Energies is best case scenario to ensure equity is considered.
iii. City Fleet Conversion – Matt is working on interdepartmental group to start working on converting fleet to EV/hybrid. First meeting in May with goal of converting a certain percentage of vehicles to EV/hybrid each year.
b. Public Transit –
i. Bus Rapid Transit in the Vision 2050 plan. Accelerate timeline to 8 routes in the near future
ii. Package of ways to incentivize use of public transit, more convenient, more stops, etc.
iii. Funding Mechanisms: discussion for entire working - group but evaluation of potential funding listed in Vision 2050. How much can be paid for by fees or funding from state level.
iv. Clarify what can be done by the City/County and what needs some approval by the state.
c. Active Modes –
i. 3 plans that impact this group – Bike Plan, Pedestrian Plan, Complete Streets. These plans don’t have a much for detail for timelines and budgets.
ii. Request for additional staffing to implement these plans. DPW submitted “dream” staffing plan to achieve these targets
iii. Specific Targets and timelines – time stamps and funding tied to specific goals to be determined over next few weeks to go into final proposal.
d. Reduce Single Occupancy Vehicles –
i. Public Messaging – coordinate with education and outreach committee to clarify how to work with public. Public messaging to reduce driving is a paradigm shift that will require a lot of education and discussion with the public.
ii. Thinking of the reuse of street space – elimination of parking spaces and converting the additional space to be used by pedestrians and less focused on vehicles.
iii. Zoning Changes –
iv. Setting some reduction goal for VMT% -
1. ICLEI provided examples of other city’s targets. Matt will distribute to group, but ICLEI also recommended working with SEWRPC to determine what works for the City.
