Climate Action Commission November Meeting Planning
At a glance
- What: planning the November 10 meeting (6:30-8:00 p.m. planned) and how the commission runs its monthly meetings.
- Where it stands: the location is unsettled because the Sustainability and Environment Office moves offices on Nov 5; commissioners with hearing loss asked to avoid the noisy room at the Tufts administration building and keep the current space if possible. December may be skipped.
- Ideas for the agenda: subcommittee report-outs (15-20 minutes), a school decarbonization update from the city, partner mapping and strengths mapping (possibly later), and a visit by relevant city staff.
Discussion
- Agenda items need to be posted 48 hours ahead; staff asked for specifics about three days before.
- Breakout groups conflict with the open meeting law, so subcommittees are where small-group conversations happen.
- Hybrid meetings need activities that work online; an in-person-only meeting is possible for poster-style exercises.
- Someone offered to take strengths mapping back to the city office to design a template.
