by putting in some incentives, which would not be very costly. She indicated she was in favor of the extensive list of things in the document. Ms. Carol Marcell, 2976 High court, Roseville, wrote in a chat that she was supportive of the items for action in the list. Chair Wozniak closed the public comment and indicated the Commission has had a chance to look at this and he has taken the list and reordered the items in a different, sequential way. He read the additions to the list. Member Spencer explained he liked the rewording on some of the items. His point was going to be similar to the education point. He thought one of the things that probably do not do well enough is to educate what the City is doing as far as sustainability and one suggestion he had is to bring out more the website for sustainability because it is buried in a menu and should be brought out on the City website. The other things he was thinking of was trying to bring sustainability more to the forefront in the newsletter. If the City did not have a sustainability section in the newsletter already then there should be one and maybe if the City can time it when the Commission has its sustainability super meeting, have the front page dedicated to sustainability and the things that the Commission is going to talk about on the sustainability super meeting. He thought Roseville and the Public Works group does a great job of getting out in front of a lot of green initiatives and looking at green alternatives and doing an incredible job of trying to stay at the forefront of what is out there in terms of new technology to be sustainable. Vice -Chair Ficek agreed with most of what Member Spencer said and what was presented by Chair Wozniak. He thought one of the things the Commission debated last time was just the specific language of the emergency and how that might trip some other things in the City as well as a there is a legal association with it. He liked the idea of slimming this down and talking about the resolution parts of it and things the Commission wants to do. The other thing he was thinking about was if the Commission could, as apart of this, highlight that the City is doing these things. Some of the items on the list the City is already doing. Chair Wozniak agreed. He thought there was some agreement on the Be It Resolved section and he wondered if it was the Commission's desire to move ahead with a resolution to the City Council to declare a climate concern/crisis, anything but an emergency. Member Joyce indicated he liked the term "action plan", because the City is taking steps towards climate change and energy partnerships. He thought the City may need to do more advertising on what the City is doing toward climate change. Chair Wozniak thought this could be called the "Sustainability Action Plan" and a component of that could be a climate action plan and these other elements being talked about. Perhaps the Commission could advocate to the City Council or pass Page 4 of 9
