PACE LETTER OF SUPPORT – ACTION REQUIRED
Board members examined the letter of support drafted by city staff for the potential County
membership in the PACE program. Chair Davey asked the board members if they approved the
letter as written or if they had any changes. Mr. Kalmbach noticed a small error in the draft of
the letter and asked how much of a savings would occur if developers were to finance projects
through PACE. Mr. Wiley stated that he would follow up with more information to answer that
question for board members. Ms. Scalpone made a motion to approve the letter of support as
amended and Mr. Maslowski seconded. Motion carried 5-0.
GREEN TIER SCORESHEET – ACTION REQUIRED
Board members engaged in discussion regarding the Green Tier Scoresheet and asked a few
questions for staff to follow up on regarding the scoring system on the sheet. Mr. Kalmbach
asked if actions that were scored 0 or N/A were failures or actions the community just has not
pursued as of now. Mr. Wiley stated that the actions were areas that the community had not
pursued and open for Board members to recommend as goals for 2017. Mr. Wiley stated that the
Scoresheet is a set of guidelines and a method of self-evaluation for the community. Mr. Wiley
informed board members that he would follow up with the DNR contact to see if any additional
information was available for the Scoresheet. Board members decided to further examine the
Scoresheet and include it on the June agenda for further discussion.
PROJECT – URBAN BEEKEEPING ORDINANCE BROCHURE
Mr. Wiley asked Board members if they would like to consider working on a brochure for urban

Davey and Mr. Kalmbach agreed to assist with the creation of the brochure.
