What's the next step? Gap analysis? What can we do to fill the need and train the younger workforce to fill local jobs.
Relationship with CCSD to bring more exposure to what the vocational training can do for the next generation.

Prioritizing locating schools near collector roads. Look into code updates.

SiteAdmin Nov 20 2025 at 1:16PM on page 3

In coordination with CCSD, consider adding strategy re: co-locating schools and affordable housing for teachers. A bill was proposed to facilitate this a few years ago, unsure if still feasible but worth exploring.

SiteAdmin Nov 20 2025 at 1:02PM on page 3

For transportation, could also add strategy like "identify cooling corridors where trees and shade should be prioritized along streets".

SiteAdmin Nov 20 2025 at 12:47PM on page 2

consider strategy to support alternative transportation options for households that don't have access to a car.

In addition to negative health impacts, it has negative financial impacts. This could be expanded to include home weatherization and energy efficiency programs/

Jackie Spicer Nov 20 2025 at 12:38PM on page 2

add "with disproportionate impacts on community members."

SiteAdmin Nov 20 2025 at 12:37PM on page 2

Need to make the relationship with the medical community a priority (politically). Need close working relationship. Show that the medical schools are a valued asset and a partner with the city.

This EJ community council/ advisory group could provide recommendations to city staff and/or city council. This concept needs further research for how it could be built while centering equity and inclusivity.

SiteAdmin Nov 20 2025 at 12:35PM on page 1

Licensing is also a barrier. Consider adding something like "support state policy change to expedite medical licenses for out-of-state medical professionals". Brookings/CBER has research on this and will find and send. "link;context=lincy_policybriefs_repo"

From the doc: "Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless
of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Environmental quality affects people in all communities, regardless of income level, race, identity, religion, or any other social or demographic factor.
Unfortunately, the benefits of a clean environment are not always equally shared. Many communities across the nation that are predominately made up of racial minorities and low-income families still face environmental challenges. These factors greatly affect their quality of health and well-being."

state-wide matching dollars to attract medical talent.

This EPA doc may be a resource for defining EJ in this context: link

transportation is barrier, especially for non-emergency medical needs. Consider partnerships with the medical providers to help educate/notify patients of the transportation options. RTC study for microtransit - look into this (link)

For example, Green Zone ordinances restrict the encroachment of polluting industries in neighborhoods that have high cumulative environmental burdens. Green Zone provisions also direct governmental and grant funding and beneficial programs to affected communities. These programs are developed in collaboration with community organizations and are intended to directly address the needs of the communities within the Green Zone.

Jackie Spicer Nov 20 2025 at 12:28PM on page 2

For EJ communities, include bans on certain polluting land uses and zoning restrictions.

Could the City's Development/Building Code also include incentives for green roofs, energy efficiency and conservation efforts?

SiteAdmin Nov 20 2025 at 12:16PM on page 1

consider pop-up markets or food options within underserved neighborhoods.

SiteAdmin Nov 20 2025 at 12:15PM on page 1

transportation is a barrier to accessing healthy food. Increase ped and bike access to food pantries and groceries, for those that don't have vehicles. Offer shuttles or transportation options to the After Market.

Favoring one use over another might not be seen favorably, politically.

SiteAdmin Nov 20 2025 at 12:09PM on page 1

Quick service restaurants don't always serve unhealthy food. Some have seating capacity. Some options serve healthy options. Regulating drive-thus may not be the best option.

Jackie Spicer Nov 20 2025 at 12:09PM on page 3

Pilot program to increase heat safety awareness should include multilingual communications. Consider creating community heat preparedness trainings in partnership with service providers, schools, senior facilities, unions, and nonprofits.

Heat Mitigation strategies should be co-developed in collaboration with service providers, community-based organizations, frontline communities, and other partners to provide strategic direction for work on heat mitigation.

Jackie Spicer Nov 20 2025 at 12:01PM on page 2

Consider the inclusion of a community advisory body to ensure underserved groups voices are prioritized and that their feedback/insight is publicly available. The purpose of this is to have some type of accountability and co-governance beyond simply stating this as a goal.
