7 <br /> 1 Charline Kirongozi said the community thought that stewardship should be included and <br /> 2 should cover fiscal stewardship. She said that the community also thought some of the guiding <br /> 3 principles should be combined where there is overlap. <br /> 4 Commissioner Richards said she felt some of the guiding principles lacked specificity, <br /> 5 such as "Social Justice," but she didn't want to exclude anything. <br /> 6 Chair Bedford said she would add a little more detail to "Social Justice," and suggested <br /> 7 that a couple of commissioners work on the description together. <br /> 8 Vice-Chair Greene said that for "Stewardship and Advocacy," the sentence that followed <br /> 9 did not seem related. <br /> 10 Commissioner Hamilton said making data-supported decisions is part of stewardship, but <br /> 11 she was not sure how advocacy fit with the description. <br /> 12 Commissioner Richards said she thought of fiscal stewardship when she read the <br /> 13 principle, but it is not stated in the description. <br /> 14 Commissioner Hamilton said that "advocacy" should be part of Social Justice. <br /> 15 Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked if the respondents thought that "Dedication and <br /> 16 Respect" should be combined with "Social Justice." <br /> 17 Charline Kirongozi said the comment was that "Social Justice" could fall under"Inclusivity <br /> 18 and Engagement," and that the idea of social justice and respect was a given. <br /> 19 Commissioner Portie-Ascott said that it is not a given to her or to others in the community. <br /> 20 Chair Bedford said that in the interest of time it might be best to move on and come back <br /> 21 to the guiding principles. <br /> 22 Commissioner Hamilton said there may be time after the break to have more in-depth <br /> 23 discussions. <br /> 24 Commissioner Fowler asked why the respondents thought some of the principles should <br /> 25 be combined. <br /> 26 Charline Kirongozi said that the respondents felt there was some overlap. <br /> 27 Vice-Chair Greene said she would like to change the Climate Action and Sustainability <br /> 28 principle to, "We recognize that our environment is in crisis, and we are deliberate and proactive <br /> 29 in protecting, preserving, and sustaining our natural resources." <br /> 30 Commissioner Fowler suggested the word "critical." <br /> 31 Vice-Chair Greene said the environment is in crisis. <br /> 32 Chair Bedford also liked the description "in crisis." <br /> 33 Commissioner Fowler said she would change the word in the guiding principle from <br /> 34 "fundamental" to "critical." <br /> 35 Vice-Chair Greene said that we are in an environmental crisis, and it is important to say it. <br /> 36 Commissioner McKee asked how "in crisis" is defined. <br /> 37 Vice-Chair Greene said that scientists say that if we do not reduce CO2 emissions at a <br /> 38 rate that is sustainable, it will be detrimental to the planet. <br /> 39 Commissioner Hamilton said she felt the phrase "to our being"was vague. She suggested <br /> 40 the word "existence." She said she liked the word "critical," because "crisis" felt like an event like <br /> 41 a hurricane. She said that the word "crisis" can actually increase resistance to efforts. <br /> 42 Commissioner McKee said that was his thought as well. <br /> 43 Vice-Chair Greene said she felt that as leaders in the county, they should set the tone for <br /> 44 what is happening. <br /> 45 Commissioner Fowler said the words that are chosen are important. She said some words <br /> 46 can create pushback in the community. She said that climate action is a specific strategic priority. <br /> 47 Charline Kirongozi said having climate change as a strategic priority shows that resources <br /> 48 will be invested in action items to address it. <br /> 49 Commissioner Portie-Ascott said she liked the word "critical." <br />
