| | 4. | | Reports, Discussion and Possible Vote on Chapter Template draft
Minutes note: A discussion was held with regards to Version 5 of the Chapter Template which combined the various Nature in the City proposals into one document. It was noted that Brands submitted suggested edits which will be reviewed for inclusion in the proposal. For Protecting Lands, some clarification will be made concerning the number of parcels recommended for acquisition. The document will be reviewed for opportunities to involve the County in the proposals or to recognize examples from suburban communities, with respect to green schoolyards, Green-Cooling Lots and other sections of the proposal. The Tree Canopy proposal will be enhanced to make the case for restoring adequate funding for City Forestry and County Parks, as well as identifying county parks and boulevards and other public lands as potential locations for expanding tree canopy. The Tree Canopy proposal could also include a statement clarifying whether private or public lands, or both, would be the potential subjects of community-led planning for trees. On the Green-Cooling Lots proposal, further research will be done on the feasibility of imposing a new or increased fee on parking lot owners to incentivize de-paving. The document as a whole will be reviewed for insertion of references as needed.
Motion by Frank, seconded by Riebe, with a third endorsement by Wiggins, for approval of the Nature in the City proposal as set forth in Version 5, with final revisions to be completed by Staedter and Frank as discussed in today’s meeting, was passed with no objections.
Gratitude was expressed to all members of the work group for their valuable contributions, with special thanks to Katherine Riebe, Ben McKay, Bridget Brown, Tracy Staedter and Janet Pritchard for writing the individual proposal drafts, to Tracy Staedter for editing the drafts and writing up the full proposal, and to Linda Frank for her leadership of this group.
