Julie Parascondola Chad Bieren Kurt Hanson Chief Administrative Officer, Derek Matheson provided a brief introduction of today's presentations to discuss current climate initiatives. During the upcoming Council retreat, there is an agenda item to discuss climate and next steps. Today's presentation emphasizes on departments with the greatest role in - and impact on - climate policy. Councilmembers' interest in climate initiatives include: • Hybrid & electric vehicles • Street materials • Solar panels • Tree counts • Pollinator gardens Julie Parascondola, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services talked about creating climate resiliency and awareness. • As leaders in building community resilience, Kent Parks connects community members to environmental programming, ensures healthy ecosystems, City Council Workshop Workshop Regular February 1, 2022 Meeting Kent, Washington Minutes advocates for the benefits of nature and implements sustainability practices. • Climate resiliency and its connection to parks national accreditation and best practices • In all departmental strategic planning efforts, where appliable - environmental sustainability is addressed with goals and practices established • In 2022, Kent Parks will be creating a comprehensive departmental sustainability plan to address accreditation expectations and aims to further reduce Kent Parks' environmental impact; to establish realistic targets and identify ways to implement them, as well as monitoring progress and confirming alignment with both City and County goals. Responsible Natural Lands Management, Green Infrastructure • Kent Parks practices responsible natural land management by conserving and enhancing the integrity of natural lands and natural processes and minimizing the use of harmful treatments. Kent Parks is continually focusing on the following areas, through changes in best practices and standards and/or by one-time investments in its infrastructure. Reducing Land Fill Waste • Reducing landfill waste has a compounding effect on the environment. The benefits from reducing landfill waste are multifold, including the reduction of energy -intensive transportation of waste to landfills and the elimination of hazardous and toxic chemicals leaching into surrounding soil and groundwater. Environmentally Friendly Building Practices • Kent Parks strives to meet environmentally friendly building practices, including the construction of green and sustainable infrastructure, refer to the use of environmentally responsible and resource -efficient construction processes and materials that minimize the ecological impact of a structure for its entire life. Exploring renewable energy sources and green equipment • As owners and operators of a significant number of buildings and infrastructure, Kent Parks promotes sustainability by exploring and ultimately expanding their use of renewable energy sources. These energy sources reduce the carbon footprint of our operations, while educating the public on the availability of cleaner energy sources. Green equipment and transportation methods reduce emissions released into the air and the quantity of fossil fuels consumed. Pollinators in parks • Kent Parks strives to raise public awareness of the current pollinator crisis by encouraging local action and positioning parks as leaders in advancing Page 2 of 6 City Council Workshop Workshop Regular February 1, 2022 Meeting Kent, Washington Minutes ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................._......................................................................................................................................................................................................... pollinator health and native habitat. This goal will continue to assess the public's understanding of pollinators, to outline actions to protect them and to increase Kent Parks' capacity to promote pollinator protection within parks and potentially facility adjacent landscaping and to engage and educate their communities on what they can do to help. Public Engagement and Educational Programming • Kent Parks fosters sustainability through public engagement and education activities focused on sustainable topics, greatly expanding their overall impact by influencing the behavior of the general public.
