WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.600
 Okay. All right. Good afternoon. This is the Friday, February 28, 2025 meeting of the Sustainability

00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:19.400
 Framework Advisory Committee being held here at the work session room of the Denton City

00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:34.360
 Hall. Our first item on our agenda today is approval of January 24, 2025 minutes. Any

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:41.840
 discussion? Any motions? I move to approve. I second. All right. We have a motion to approve

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:54.200
 and a second. Dr. Meyer and Mr. Richter, all in favor of approval? Aye. All opposed? Nobody's

00:00:54.200 --> 00:01:01.520
 opposed. Okay. Our next item is to receive a report and hold a discussion and give staff

00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:22.160
 direction regarding Electric Lawn Equipment Incentive Pilot Program. Captain Barnett,

00:01:22.160 --> 00:01:26.760
 I'm the Sustainability Manager, Environmental Services and Sustainability. If you can't

00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:32.160
 hear me, just let me know. I might have to give Julie City Yell for me. So we're going

00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:39.120
 to talk about the Electric Lawn Equipment Incentive Program that we proposed in the work plan.

00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.960
 It has some general requirements. We reviewed several programs, different states, and it

00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:51.320
 seemed to be pretty consistent. General requirement, battery powered equipment. Then we have some

00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:58.040
 rebate levels that we're proposing, some options, and then a question about disposal of gasoline

00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:05.040
 equipment and the options for that. So the program would be available to DIN residents.

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:10.320
 It's not going to be tied to DME customer status because this would be framework funding,

00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:14.880
 so it would be all DIN residents. It would be a new battery powered lawn equipment would

00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:19.760
 be eligible. The application, similar to the Green Sense Program, would have to include

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:26.200
 the detailed receipt, the type of equipment, which is price. Again, like Green Sense, submitted

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:32.680
 within 90 days of purchase. And then we were considering an additional $50 step up with

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:39.440
 proof of disposal of a gasoline powered lawn mower, which would be disposed of through

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:49.640
 the City of DIN. So just the incentive options that we proposed. We saw rebates as low as

00:02:49.640 --> 00:02:59.320
 $50 for lawn mowers, and then up to $100 or more for the string trimmer tool type equipment,

00:02:59.320 --> 00:03:05.200
 with your other few options. So one would be a max of $500, and you can get up to a

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:12.280
 $300 rebate for a lawn mower with turn in. $250 for one without turning in the gasoline

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:18.880
 lawn mower, and then up to $100 for the string trimmer lower spas, and $50 for an additional

00:03:18.880 --> 00:03:26.060
 battery. And it would be a combination of rebates up to $500. Second option would be

00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:32.880
 the max of $300, and you can see the 50% and just the lower rebate levels on that option.

00:03:32.880 --> 00:03:40.280
 And then option three would just be a flat rebate, not a 50% of an invoice. It would

00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:47.120
 just be a flat rebate of $100, 50 for the string trimmer, 50 for the mower without turn

00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:54.000
 in, and then 25 for the additional battery. Do y'all have any questions or thoughts about

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.840
 any of those options?

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:09.360
 I have a question and a comment. So this program involves only battery-operated lawn mower,

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.080
 not the ones that have a cord.

00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:12.080
 Correct.

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:18.640
 And the reason is, you said, for ease of use and range. But I think if we think better

00:04:18.640 --> 00:04:25.200
 about the environmental impact and sustainability, I think using the battery-operated one does

00:04:25.200 --> 00:04:32.680
 more damage to the environment than just plug it in your lawn mower. So are there any incentives

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:39.240
 to continue this program with the cord-operated?

00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:46.040
 I have one, and I'm not going to go on about that with me. I'm just thinking.

00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:53.360
 I think that the programs that we've reviewed, I didn't see any that were corded. There's

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:59.840
 nothing to say that we couldn't have a corded equipment rebate. I understand the concern

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:04.760
 about the materials and the batteries and the recycling options for the batteries. I

00:05:04.760 --> 00:05:10.080
 think that it's probably more practical, maybe, for the battery for some folks when they're

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:15.600
 going out with a lawn mower. I think a corded string trimmer is probably a little bit easier

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:22.000
 for folks to look at, but not opposed to considering it corded.

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:27.760
 I'd like to echo Dr. Meyer's concern, because I did dig around a little bit on Lowe's and

00:05:27.760 --> 00:05:35.000
 Duplo's website, as I'm sure the staff did too. And there are corded electric lawn equipment.

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.840
 And if I feel the motivation under the sustainability framework is to get something in an incentive

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:44.400
 program shifting from gasoline, I think we still check that box with corded electric

00:05:44.400 --> 00:05:50.640
 equipment. So I would agree, I think, at least, to adding it to the program could be considered

00:05:50.640 --> 00:05:57.560
 if it still meets the goal of reducing emissions and pollution from gas-powered lawn equipment.

00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:03.840
 I guess to add, though, I was looking at City of Dallas' recently closed incentive program

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:09.720
 that's similarly structured. And they kind of went with a little bit separate categories.

00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:15.280
 It seemed like they were hitting $100 for a push mower, $200 for a riding, $50 for trimmer

00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:20.160
 and other lawn equipment, and $25 for batteries at flat rebate, which kind of falls largely

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.920
 into our option 3 category. So I looked at that and kind of thought we were doing pretty

00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:30.680
 good, but our base option was matching what Dallas is processing through right now. But

00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:36.400
 then I did go a little bit further and looked at what are the top offerings that your large

00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:43.320
 box retailers offer. So I just added up the top 10 most popular lawn equipment for mowers

00:06:43.320 --> 00:06:48.400
 and trimmers and whatever. And the price gaps for the mowers between electric and gas came

00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:54.480
 out to about $80, electric being a little bit more expensive. And then for the trimmers,

00:06:54.480 --> 00:07:00.680
 most of the electric powered equipment was already anywhere from $50 to about $75 cheaper

00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:06.480
 than the gas powered equipment. So that kind of told me maybe something we look at is structuring

00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.640
 a little bit heavier of a weight where there is a larger price difference between the electric

00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:16.640
 and gas power to push that incentive a little bit more if the market's already there in

00:07:16.640 --> 00:07:21.240
 a lot of places for the handheld equipment. So that could be just something to discuss

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:26.520
 and consider. But given that little dig around, I was leaning for option one or option two

00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:33.320
 in our pricing structure. One question I did have though, knowing that Dallas did have

00:07:33.320 --> 00:07:40.400
 a differential between their types of mowing equipment, do we split a riding versus a push

00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:45.240
 versus a self-propelled mower? Are we kind of capturing that all in one bucket?

00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:54.680
 It's all in one bucket. And then I was wondering too, for the trade-in option, what the implementation

00:07:54.680 --> 00:08:00.520
 of that would look like, how we're recording proof of disposal through the bulk curbside

00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:06.440
 collection. So that's on a future slide that I can tell you. So the City of Denton can

00:08:06.440 --> 00:08:11.800
 pick up a lot more as a bulky item curbside right now. It just has to be drained of all

00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.520
 the gas and oil. They could also be dropped off at our home chemical collection site,

00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:22.680
 also drained, talked to Solid Waste about creating just a freedom of disposal that they

00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:29.640
 could give the homeowner to submit whenever they turn one in or have one picked up.

00:08:29.640 --> 00:08:37.880
 Any other discussion? A couple things. One, I echo the coordinate comment. I think that's

00:08:37.880 --> 00:08:47.720
 good. Is there a disposal program for gas-powered leaf blowers?

00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:53.880
 Not that I'm aware of. I think there's going to be a lot more plastic in the house. I have

00:08:53.880 --> 00:09:01.560
 with the multi lawn mowers that are going to start recycling for destruction.

00:09:01.560 --> 00:09:06.440
 And my other question, well two, one real quick, I just don't follow. What does it mean

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:12.680
 by those max figures? There doesn't have to be a max calendar year or program year that

00:09:12.680 --> 00:09:16.680
 somebody could receive so they couldn't go get three lawn mower remains. I see. All right.

00:09:16.680 --> 00:09:23.560
 Thanks. You probably said that. I just missed it. The other is does the staff or will you

00:09:23.560 --> 00:09:34.120
 at some point get a sense of the, some way quantifying the benefits of this incentive

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:40.600
 with others in our offering? Because my general sense is this is a pretty good deal because I

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.960
 know a little bit there's a lot of air pollution and noise that comes off of these things and it

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:49.960
 has a lot of co-benefits that come with it just locally. Is that? And there's some calculators

00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:55.560
 that we can estimate emissions reduction. We can bring that back and we'll talk about the

00:09:55.560 --> 00:10:01.960
 great sense reductions as well. That's coming up next month, I think. I don't think it'll be super

00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:07.640
 precise, but maybe just to see general comparison. Just some estimates, yeah. Catherine, if I may,

00:10:07.640 --> 00:10:11.560
 I was taking around on that because I was interested too and I did find a resource that showed

00:10:11.560 --> 00:10:20.920
 the annual emissions equivalent of lawn usage for Denton County was the particulate matter equivalent

00:10:20.920 --> 00:10:29.160
 of 522,000 cars operating normally in a year. And then another resource was saying the typical

00:10:29.160 --> 00:10:35.800
 emissions of lawn care equipment are often 100 to 120 times higher than a vehicle or a combustion

00:10:35.800 --> 00:10:41.480
 engine vehicle or truck. So this is a really targeted program if the motivation is emissions

00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.360
 reduction. Air quality improvement. I mean that that was my general sense. Thank you for the

00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.680
 numbers. This could have a real big impact. I'll send you that paper, yeah, that came from there.

00:10:50.680 --> 00:11:03.720
 Thanks for doing the research. Very good. Appreciate it. Any other comments or questions? I think it

00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:16.360
 would be advantageous to add cordage. I've started out with a corded lawnmower and a corded trimmer

00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:26.440
 and got tired of juggling the cords and so we've got the battery and it's a dream.

00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:39.480
 So with that in mind, I would also hope that we could use the largest incentive that we can give,

00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:53.000
 option one. And to back up a little on what Adam said, I think when this program is communicated

00:11:53.000 --> 00:12:03.320
 to the public that we really make a very detailed list of benefits of using electric lawn equipment

00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:18.680
 as opposed to combustion engine. The marketing program. Are there any ideas yet about that? How

00:12:18.680 --> 00:12:25.960
 is it going to be, you know, information in bills or and website? We can use all of the tools that

00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:36.760
 we currently use. Citizen connection, resident update, website, social media. Does the Parks and Rec,

00:12:36.760 --> 00:12:44.520
 I know they got one lawnmower last year, one electric lawnmower, I think. One electric return.

00:12:44.520 --> 00:12:48.680
 Yeah. And then they're using a lot of the battery power hand tool equipment.

00:12:52.680 --> 00:13:00.760
 So maybe in terms of promotion, some videos could be made of staff actually using big smiles on their

00:13:00.760 --> 00:13:11.560
 face. Absolutely. But I think this is great. And the figures that Bran just gave us really

00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:20.040
 gives even more impetus to to implementing a program like this, I think. One follow-up question

00:13:20.040 --> 00:13:24.680
 I had because it does kind of sound like the general approval of this type of project. But

00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:30.760
 looking forward, I remember we had a discussion when we first thought about putting this type

00:13:30.760 --> 00:13:38.360
 of program in the rebate program, looking at commercial entities and incentivizing a transition

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:44.840
 from gas to electric. And we kind of had mixed signals there. I suppose from a staff perspective,

00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:50.360
 looking at this first year implementation of this type of program and depending on its success or

00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:57.000
 not, if I'd like to return to that discussion maybe at next fiscal, if we want to renew this and

00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:03.800
 consider expanding it for commercial entities since it's not tied to D&E customers exclusively.

00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:08.440
 But I think that's maybe a future discussion to follow up. I think we can leave that on the list

00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:14.680
 for a future discussion. Does anyone else have any feelings about that option? What level?

00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:19.480
 Option one, two, or three. What's the total amount of money that's available?

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:23.720
 We have $50,000 earmarked for this right now for the pilot.

00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:37.160
 I mean, I lean towards option one. That's kind of why I asked that question just because

00:14:37.160 --> 00:14:41.240
 my general sense is this could have a real big impact. Me too.

00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:49.800
 But I honestly don't know enough. I would also say option one and maybe we treat it

00:14:49.800 --> 00:14:55.000
 similar to the Evike program where we maxed out and we had to do some reshifting if the program

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.640
 was really successful. But maybe we cross that bridge when we get there. We can revisit absolutely

00:14:59.640 --> 00:15:05.720
 if we find we're bumping up against that. Yeah, that's what I mean. That's great.

00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:11.480
 I will let you know that in my conversations with Lowe's about their bond equipment,

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.920
 about 75% of what they have on the shelves now is electric.

00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:21.400
 So that market uptake has really started to make a noticeable difference.

00:15:21.400 --> 00:15:29.400
 Any more discussion? Do you need any more from us? Okay, thank you very much.

00:15:29.400 --> 00:15:33.880
 Let's see what we have next.

00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.440
 The next item is to receive a report and hold a discussion regarding

00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.560
 State of Texas energy efficiency rebate programs.

00:15:45.560 --> 00:15:53.320
 From me again. So just a little bit of an update.

00:15:53.320 --> 00:16:05.240
 So we're just going to talk a little bit about the energy efficiency rebates that

00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:14.840
 the State Energy Conservation Office has been awarded. There's two programs,

00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:20.280
 the Home Efficiency Rebates or the HOMES program and then the Home Electrification Rebate program

00:16:20.280 --> 00:16:29.160
 or the HEAR program. So HOMES incentivizes whole home retrofits. It's for single family or multi

00:16:29.160 --> 00:16:36.040
 family. It's available to any income level. But this is where the low income, moderate income

00:16:36.040 --> 00:16:40.120
 hasn't benefited. The readout amounts are doubled for low or moderate income households.

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.680
 And this program does stack with our Green Sense rebates. So you could qualify for a

00:16:44.680 --> 00:16:49.160
 Green Sense rebate and it wouldn't reduce your HOMES rebate.

00:16:49.160 --> 00:16:58.040
 So the readout amounts are determined based on energy savings calculated

00:16:58.920 --> 00:17:07.400
 or modeled. And for the energy savings between 20% up to 34%, low income will receive a $4,000

00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:14.200
 dollar rebate or up to 80%. All other is $2,000 or up to 50%. And then the $200 for multi-family.

00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.760
 So there is a benefit for multi-family with these as well. And then energy savings greater

00:17:18.760 --> 00:17:29.400
 than 35%. It's a double readout amount, so $80,000 and $4,000. The measured savings pathway,

00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:38.040
 it's for proven kilowatt hour reduction equivalent and that would be $4,000 for 20% and $2,000 for

00:17:38.040 --> 00:17:47.320
 anything below that. The HEAR rebate program is the Appliance Rebate program that we've talked

00:17:47.320 --> 00:17:54.200
 about before. This would be available to low or moderate income. The owners of multi-family

00:17:54.200 --> 00:18:02.440
 units could also use that with greater or equal to 50% LMI. So any government commercial or

00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:07.960
 non-profit entity carrying out the qualified project on behalf of the event can also qualify.

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:13.160
 The income eligibility determines the percentage of the cost covered

00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:21.000
 and it will also stack with rebates. And these are the rebates that they hope to have point of sale

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:27.240
 so there wouldn't be the initial cost to the homeowner or to the applicant.

00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:34.760
 And the rebate levels are listed there. So it will get into the appliances in the home. It gets into

00:18:34.760 --> 00:18:42.920
 the breaker box improvements, wiring. So it gets into the home improvements necessary to have more

00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:51.560
 electric appliances. So with this program, the state was hoping to have them launched

00:18:51.560 --> 00:18:57.320
 and applications available this summer. These have gotten caught up in the funding freeze.

00:18:57.320 --> 00:19:05.080
 So we are monitoring the state. We're monitoring the federal level of funding. We saw some funding

00:19:05.080 --> 00:19:12.120
 was released just this week for some Pennsylvania projects. So we're hopeful that these will be

00:19:12.120 --> 00:19:19.640
 funded. These are direct to homeowner, property owner improvements to lower energy bills.

00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:26.680
 So I'm very hopeful that these will be released and can start being paid this summer.

00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:33.480
 And with that we can, I can stand for any questions.

00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:51.400
 Question? Sorry if I missed this, but it's a state program, but is this federal funds coming

00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:58.200
 through the state? Yes. States were allocated funding through for these programs. They had to

00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:03.720
 submit an application and a plan for how to use the funding. Texas has been approved.

00:20:05.560 --> 00:20:12.920
 It was approved in December I believe. And so we're just waiting on funding to be made available.

00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:18.600
 And was this through the IRA? Yes. Okay so when you said it's caught up in the funding freeze,

00:20:18.600 --> 00:20:24.120
 it's the federal? The federal funding freeze, yes. There was an allocation to each state. Some

00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:30.920
 states chose not to use the program. And so right now we're kind of limbo as we. Yes.

00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:42.040
 But do you know of any campaigns on the part of municipalities or states that are lobbying

00:20:42.040 --> 00:20:49.160
 for the unfreezing of these funds? Or is it just a wait and see situation?

00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:57.240
 I don't know if there's one specific to these funds. I've seen

00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:07.640
 several other programs with very specific requests for release of funding.

00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:13.240
 I have not seen one specific to these two programs. I thought that I didn't know if that would tie in

00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:24.200
 with another item that was going to be discussed regarding lobbying in Austin. Perhaps I don't know

00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:34.120
 the niceties of it. But if that were made a part of the city's ask for the legislature the importance

00:21:34.120 --> 00:21:40.200
 of stuff like this. Yes I know some of the states are definitely involved with asking for those funds

00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:46.360
 to be released since it's going directly to the state and not to the cities. A little bit of a

00:21:46.360 --> 00:21:57.880
 go-between there. Thank you. Any other? That's anything. Okay thank you very much.

00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:08.040
 Okay next we have staff reports.

00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:28.120
 Do you have some memos from your backup and the matrix? Do you have any questions on any of those?

00:22:28.120 --> 00:22:34.520
 So you're including all

00:22:34.520 --> 00:22:43.320
 follow-up memo, the 89th state legislative program, and the matrix.

00:22:44.520 --> 00:22:47.640
 Do you want comments on that? Yes if you have any questions or comments. Anybody?

00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:55.320
 Oh I do have some questions.

00:22:55.320 --> 00:23:02.440
 On the memorandum on the matrix follow-up,

00:23:09.320 --> 00:23:15.160
 I was just curious as to whether since the city has not done its own risk assessment

00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:24.840
 of city infrastructure, are there plans for the city to do such a risk assessment rather than

00:23:24.840 --> 00:23:31.320
 under the umbrella, large umbrella that it is now under the Denton County Emergency Management

00:23:31.320 --> 00:23:42.120
 Department. So I would like to know if there are any potential plans to do our own risk

00:23:42.120 --> 00:23:48.520
 assessment of our own infrastructure. And we can ask our risk management department. Okay.

00:23:53.320 --> 00:24:08.680
 The other thing that I wanted to mention is the need for more educational outreach on climate

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:29.000
 change and I think also the community information meetings. Well I'll cut right to the chase here.

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:39.080
 When I went to our website, as we all know under air quality and greenhouse gases, there's a link

00:24:39.080 --> 00:24:50.200
 to the Department of Energy climate change resources. And I don't think it's the website

00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:59.320
 that we want as a resource now. Climate change is couched simply in terms of its dangers to the

00:24:59.320 --> 00:25:08.840
 fossil fuel industry. Any links to renewable energy that are on the site take you back to the welcome

00:25:08.840 --> 00:25:16.040
 to the website page. All of this stuff has been scrubbed. So I think it's imperative that we get

00:25:16.040 --> 00:25:29.800
 that off the website and put up some useful information. And along those lines, there is a

00:25:29.800 --> 00:25:38.440
 I don't know if you've seen this, it's called the world's littlest book on climate change,

00:25:40.280 --> 00:25:51.560
 which can be downloaded for free off the website. It's just facts. Very easy, very educational.

00:25:51.560 --> 00:25:59.240
 There's another book which I neglected to bring which I can send you all in an email. But I think

00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:09.480
 this it's imperative that you start looking at some good information about climate change,

00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:18.200
 what people can do, frequently asked questions, situations like that. And I'll finish this up with

00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:25.720
 when the city decided to resurrect its integrated pest management plan to use

00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:31.080
 as much organic pesticides and herbicides in the parks.

00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:42.360
 We went to Austin's IPM program and a committee was formed to do this under

00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:49.960
 Laura Behrens. And Ms. Behrens said we're going to use the Austin

00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:57.080
 plan as a template, but the difference is going to be that our plan is going to be better.

00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:06.600
 And it is. So I would also suggest using a template such as Austin's or San Antonio's,

00:27:06.600 --> 00:27:14.760
 especially Austin's in terms of community outreach for information about climate change.

00:27:14.760 --> 00:27:21.400
 I think we should use that as a model and make it better just like we did with the IPM plan.

00:27:24.600 --> 00:27:28.280
 So that's my all I have to say.

00:27:28.280 --> 00:27:51.560
 You know obviously this is one more thing, pardon me, tying this in with the climate action plan.

00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:58.760
 I mean how many people know we have a climate action plan and what it's hopefully going to do?

00:27:58.760 --> 00:28:07.080
 Putting out as much information as we can that is going to help

00:28:07.080 --> 00:28:14.440
 Denton reach its goal of net zero by 2050. That to me is the target date and everything

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:21.400
 that we put out should be geared toward reaching that. Now I'm finished.

00:28:24.040 --> 00:28:36.360
 Okay. So does that bring us to anybody have anything they want to add to the matrix?

00:28:36.360 --> 00:28:48.360
 No? Okay. Well that brings us to the end of the meeting. So there are a motion to adjourn.

00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:54.840
 May, motion made. Seconded.

00:28:54.840 --> 00:29:06.760
 Motion made and seconded to adjourn. So we'll see everyone next month. Thank you.
