Committee meetings in May.

Energy Grant
Public Works continues to implement transportation projects that will result in energy conservation
and carbon footprint reduction. Mary May presented changes to the City Council to grant as proposed
by Avista. See the paragraph below for updates on the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan.
Washington State Energy Strategy Update Process
The Washington State Energy Strategy update process provided an update to the legislature and the
Governor December 1, 2010. The update was not intended to be a comprehensive revision. The full
revision is expected to be delivered to the legislature and the Governor in December 2011. The
meetings for the full revision began in January and are scheduled throughout 2011. One meeting
was held in the Tri-Cities in April to discuss energy issues primarily related to transportation.
Although planning regulations and their impact was a part of the discussion there were no land use
planners involved in the discussion and Commerce staff indicated that the meeting was poorly
attended.
Bike/Pedestrian Plan (BPMP)
Staff sponsored an Open House on the Plan to Greenacres Neighborhood. Staff will be presenting an
overview of the BPMP to the Planning Commission on June 23, 2011. A public hearing on the BPMP

the intent of the survey. In addition, the group will approve a list of questions that will be forwarded to
the Disability Business Technical Assistance Center for clarification. The full work group will also
develop a consensus for the draft report and develop a potential schedule for the next public meeting

suspended.
