APPENDIX B: OPEN HOU SE COMMENT CARDS Ashland Climate and Energy Action Plan: Open House #2 Page | 18 Reducing impervious surfaces not only mitigates flooding, but also helps with water capture or storage. Have the Peace Choir offer some songs at Dec. mtg. I'll speak to the program leader for the choir to see if there is interest. Biome. All my $ is put in box to purchase influence like a lobbying champ. Until we address the root cause of our social + environmental ilk, we are just treating symptoms. Giving us FRN's (Federal Reserve Notes) is just such a misstep. The Federal Reserve is a tool of the Judeo -Masonic Mafia that must be dismantled in order to make headway at true saving reform. I suggest volunteer winterization program in low -income neighborhoods. (1) Make all new neighborhoods walkable/bikeable, (2) bike lane to all elementary schools Climate and Energy Action Ordinance ASAP! (1) More local production of food, (2) community gardens, (3) encourage wash lines. Bring back free bus route in city. Frequent and free. Allow dogs on leash?? I could not join the "dots + money" process because ALL the strategies are important and I am not competent to evaluate them - too complex. (Also, I was fighting personal issues of light + sound in the room - so I may email my comments to the committee instead.) Thanks for holding these public sessions. I don't live in the city but I've spent a lot of time advancing utility advoca cy to prevent shutoffs for low -income area residents. (I also do this in New Jery, my home base - I see a need to aid low -income residents in weatherizing homes to make them more energy efficient, provide adequate protection against shutoffs for those unab le to pay their bills due to financial hardship, a system of encouraging people to stay connected and check on neighbors so people are not isolated when problems arise (putting people at risk of freezing to death, or deathly heatstroke while alone + isolat ed), a break on electric bills/eletctric rate, in summer as well as winter (esp for the low -income) and perhaps free air conditioners for low -income vulnerable populations as well as community cooling nad warming center). Reduce should be #1 for #6! There needs to be a station 9 that is education and communication. City should annually provide curbside recycle directions for residents to post on their refrigerator! Lots of folks can't keep track of specifics. Wonderful display! Well done! Is it poss ible to have this up on display at the library? I think many people would love to see this and will learn a lot. Thank you! Overall reduction should focus on sector if we are serious about setting achievable and measurable goals. How about these great po sters put up somewhere so the public can read them - also post them on the Ashland FB pages. They are filled with good information! Make sure the ACEAP involves actions that the citizens need to take (not just the city) Thank you for what you are doing!
