Michael R. Turner 16:33

Thank you all very much, I appreciate it. I would like to note for the record tonight that item number six, proposed on street parking restrictions on Pleasant Valley Road is being deferred to the November 20th, 2024 TLOC meeting to allow staff time for further development of the item. The proposed consent agenda is as follows. Elizabeth Mills Lock Stewardship Management Plan. The FY2024 Housing Choice Voucher Resident Advisory Board Annual Report. and the Advisory Plans Examiner Board Calendar Year 2023 Annual Report, and the Facilities Standards Manual Public Review Committee Fiscal Year 2024 Annual Report. Those are items two, three, four, and five. Is there any discussion on the recommended consent items from anyone?

Michael R. Turner 17:28

Any comments? All those in favor of placing those on consent and passing those unanimously, please say aye. Any opposed? Those four items are passed unanimously.

What items were included in the consent agenda and how were they approved?

Michael R. Turner 17:42

I move, oh, I'm sorry. Oh, very good. Let's do this more formally. Is there a motion to move, I move the adoption of the consent agenda. Is there a second? Second. Thank you very much. Any discussion? Once again, all those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Second. Thanks. I raced in here and my Robert's rules are a little rusty here tonight. All right. Information items. Let's start with item number one, Environment and Energy Work Plan

Caleb A. Kershner 18:15

Quarterly Update. Point of order. Where's our worthless piece of information?

Michael R. Turner 18:20

I had it, I had it, and it was related to the fact that I attended the Navy birthday party about this last weekend, and nobody cared, and neither did I, so as an Air Force guy, it just wasn't that big of a deal. I'm disappointed, but there's always next time, thanks. Actually, I will say what I said. I made some remarks, and I start out my remarks by saying we live in a contentious time, and We have divided ourselves into sides and we think of the other side as the enemy and we think they talk weird and we think they talk in code and we think there's hidden agendas and at the birthday party I vowed as an Air Force guy I was not gonna think that way about my Navy brothers and sisters ever again. Thank you all very much for tolerating my really warped sense of humor sometimes.

Michael R. Turner 19:15

You are clear to begin.

Mark Avani 19:18

Thank you, Committee Chair Turner, members of the Transportation and Land Use Committee, Mark Avani, Assistant Director with General Services. Happy to be here this evening to present to you our quarterly report on your Environment and Energy Work Plan. With me this evening is Kara Moore, who is our Environmental Program Manager, and our Energy Manager, Mr. Mike Sandler. Just want to point out that many of the items we'll be seeing are the direct result of their good work. As you know, our purpose is to provide a quarterly update to this group. We are working off of the approved fiscal year 2025 work plan that includes 22 different items and we'll be highlighting some successes and upcoming events for you this evening.

Mark Avani 20:00

Just as a reminder, the original work plan was developed in cooperation with the staff and the Environmental Commission. I do want to mention our chair of the Environmental Commission, Jim Bingle, is here with us this evening, as well as some of our members. So we appreciate their attendance. Since 2024, you have given us a baseline budget to do these work plan items. And all these items have been well vetted and fully supported by the commission and public input. Just a schedule that shows our quarterly plan coming to you and we are obviously in October and providing you with a quarterly update.
