Town Council1/6/21: contacted the town sustainability coordinator to get the ordinance on the schedule. Sent email to one of the Town Council members. There appears to be no set schedule and no warrant needed. Scheduled a meeting on 1/19/21 with the Ashley Kurlik, the town sustainability coordinator"Zoomed" with town coordinator on 1/19 who directed me to the chair of the Town Recycling, Env. and Energy Cmte with a request for consideration. Sent cover ltr and ppt via email for review. Signatures not required in my town and will be referred by the Cmte to the Council.Great meeting with chair. Agreed to present proposal at Feb 4 cmte meeting. 2 questions were important: is CF&D the "best" approach and what about equity and inclusion? Updated PPT accordingly.Presented the materials to the committee. They asked a # of good questions. I responded the next day. Now awaiting f/u from the cmte chair.Awaiting feedback from the chair. will email on 2/11 which is 1 wk from the presentation date for an updateTown REAC committee will review the request to endorse CF&D resolution during its March 4th meeting at 530p. Reached out to 4 other CCL folks in my town to join me during the public comment portion of the meeting.One REAC committee member suggested I present to the Town Conservation Commission. This has now been scheduled for March 1st at 5p. Engaged another CCL member who lives in town to provide support during public comment portion of the meeting.
Presented to the Town Conservation Commission on 3/2/21. Went well. Also included a public comment period with a CCL supporter voicing support. Scheduled a f/u meeting with a Town Councilor on Friday.
Town Conservation Commission voted to recommend the Town Council pass resolution to endorse a Carbon Fee and Dividend approach. With 2 town committees voting in support of this approach, the issue will now be taken up by the town councilors for the full town council consideration.

Farmington PASSEDFen Fowlercalled

April 26Farmington has a team of 5 carbon cashback champions meeting via zoom bi monthly. We have developed a strategy where each one of us will talk with one Farmiigton select person to ask their advice on having a“Cash back solution to carbon pollution” article on the town warrant for Town meeting. We have reviewed Sam Saltonstall’s slide show and one member will be working with Sam to edit it for Farmington. We have agreed that having youth involved is important but have not determined how and whom to engage.We view this as an opportunity to engage the public in the long term thinking about climate change. Farmington Champions Plan on meeting briefly next week to report out on selectperson response and determine next stepsOn the agenda for farmington select men's meeting on January 26th. met 2-2 tie vote to place on warrant-will reconvene to reconsider at a later datetown meeting referendum 4/26

FreeportSusana Hancock
hancocksusana@gmail.com
robrez3@gmail.comcouncilI am part of Freeport's sustainability board, which advises the town council on climate-related matters. I have shared EICDA with most of the board, but I have not yet been able to share it with the full sustainability board because that needs to be done during a public hearing--had hoped to do it last Monday but it's budget season, so we had to prioritize financial matters. The board members who have seen it thus far support the initiative, although there are some hold outs for NRCM's plan due to personal allegiance, but it seems likely we'll get through. I expect to take this for a full board vote later this month and then will take it to town council. At that point, additional support might be helpful, and I will certainly invite people like Kathleen and Kate, as well as other Freeport-based CCL members to offer testimony during meetings or in writingin process

March 13, Saturday at 10amPeter Kallin joined me in doing this presentation and he started us off. He did so well and I did not get the slide slow up as quickly as I thought I could so we did without it. He presented his history in working with climate change in our area and then went on to share how many other countries and state have already begun to do something. My mention that this warrant doesn't involve fiscal responsibility or committment, just allowing our state government to know that we are behind such programs I feel is what caused the 3 - 0 for putting the warrant on the list for town meeting without the collection of signatures. We are prespared for discussion the day of our town meeting.Rome (NP)
