Tukwila Tree and Environment Advisory Committee <br />Meeting Notes <br />• More emphasis should be placed on educating Tukwila residents on tree canopy, yard care, <br />pesticide use etc. <br />• The policies should be written to include statements on how they will be implemented, or a <br />separate implementation section should be considered. Staff indicated they think having a <br />section that addresses implementation on a chapter -wide basis would be more useful than <br />the current approach in the Natural Environment Chapter. <br />• Is there an opportunity to use Channel 21 to inform the public about environmental <br />regulations? <br />• A reference should be added to shoreline goals and policies, which are located in another <br />chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />• Include (at least for now) footnotes or some way to indicate what regulations implement <br />the policies. <br />• Provide on -going training opportunities for City staff on environmental stewardship. <br />The Committee discussion concluded after the first bullet on the third page of the nine page goals <br />and policies document. <br />It was agreed that staff should indicate in black the changes already discussed and approved by the <br />Committee and show other changes in strike - out /underline. <br />6. Check in — the Chair asked if there were any questions that the Committee has that need to be <br />addressed before the close of the meeting. <br />Staff was asked about the schedule for the Committee's work to review the Natural Environment <br />goals and policies — the Committee is behind schedule according to the time line provided at the <br />second meeting. There may need to be adjustments to the review schedule to complete the tasks <br />identified in the Resolution establishing the Advisory Committee. <br />7. The meeting closed at 8:00 pm. <br />8.
