51 <br /> 1 Amy Eckberg said the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory will drive how aggressive the <br /> 2 climate strategy should be. She said this will be presented to the Board in the spring. She said <br /> 3 community engagement is in progress and will continue through the spring. She said the draft <br /> 4 Climate Action Plan will come to the board in June. She said the Community Symposium will be <br /> 5 done in late summer or early fall. She said the funding plan is an extra step she asked the <br /> 6 consultants to do so the plan doesn't just sit on the shelf. She said there will also be a Climate <br /> 7 Action Plan dashboard that will provide real time information on where the county stands on <br /> 8 greenhouse gas and will be housed on the website. She said this will be an opportunity to show <br /> 9 where the county has been and where it's going. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Slide #6 <br /> CAP Consultant Updates <br /> Spring <br /> 1 <br /> Inventory Draft CAP BOCC <br /> Update presentation Approval <br /> 12 <br /> 13 <br /> 14 b.
