Meeting Summary <br />Orange County Commission for the Environment <br />August 14, 2017 <br />7:30 p.m. <br />Whitted Building, 300 West Tryon Street, Hillsborough <br /> <br />Present: Bill Kaiser (Vice Chair), Bill Newby, Marshall Gray, Sheila Thomas- <br />Ambat, Matt Crook, Alan Parry, Jeremy Marzuola <br />Absent: May Becker, Peter Cada, Jeanette O’Connor, Lynne Gronback <br />Staff: Tom Davis <br /> <br />I. Call to Order – Kaiser called the meeting to order at 7:30. <br />II. Additions or Changes to Agenda – No additions or changes were proposed to <br />the agenda. <br />III.

Apparent <br />purpose of the SOE report might include trying to influence the behavior of <br />county citizens as well as informing people of the status of certain environmental <br />benchmarks in the county. Interest in producing a “living document or <br />documents” instead of a single large static report exists, as well as producing a <br />more readily accessible, usable, and “digestible” on-line document(s). Additional <br />comments regarding condensing the report and trying to eliminate somewhat <br />redundant indicators were expressed. Shorter more focused information, similar <br />to newspaper articles previously created by the CFE, could be posted on the <br />CFE Facebook page. The need to produce a two-page Executive Summary was <br />also discussed. Some members expressed desire to include concepts of
