Attachment 1 <br /> Marzuola and Saul both indicated a preference for the free response template <br /> option as it appeared to provide value without burdening staff preparing the <br /> abstract. For context, staff related a point of fact about an unforeseen <br /> environmental impact of one of the example abstracts. Staff had not been <br /> consulted about this agenda item. This highlighted the CFE members' interest <br /> in seeing if there was a way to encourage cross-departmental input on <br /> agenda abstracts effectively without overburdening staff. One possibility <br /> considered was to add a response option to the abstract indicating that staff <br /> lacks the information to accurately determine potential environmental <br /> impacts. This response could then potentially trigger a search for input. After <br /> Saul reminded members of the time, they agreed to continue this discussion <br /> at the following meeting. <br /> VI. Committee Meetings <br /> CFE Committees met to discuss issues and indicators for the 2019 State of <br /> the Environment report and make plans to finish a first draft. Staff noted that <br /> two months remain to create a final draft of the report content in order to <br /> stay on the schedule previously agreed to by the CFE members. <br /> Doherty volunteered to move to the Water Committee as it has lost members <br /> and the Air and Energy Committee is well represented. Staff will update the <br /> roster to reflect this change. <br /> VII.
