UNEDITED NOTES FROM DISCUSSION 4/19/16

WHO TO INVITE (13-15 min)

• People with whom have worked on this in the GI project o From more sites than Baltimore?
• Other?

LB:
NGOs, but not an open meeting Speed this up with a meeting sooner with someone like Blue Water Baltimore NL: do we want the eventual users to be part of this? YES.
Then ask what capability will we have when we are ready to demo? Do we want users to be expressing preferences for different infrastructure, or something that is program specific

LB: we will not be at the point of a charrette with free-form options. There will NOT be individual homeowners at this session. Mediated session of working with specific options at this meeting

e.g., Blue Water Balt: NL they have areas in which they work/service; they rely on homeowners contacting them. Trypically 1-1, not an area project OUTREACH program—email distri, etc. is how they contact people. Some neighbor contacts, … LB: could a web tool such as this be a part of their marketing campaign. NL: They have a set of design templates that they use. \ will find out what approval process is for private property. LB: so it is opportunistic and, as a singleton, may be less interesting to the watershed managers…

NL: BWB needs to think about how they target their program and whether they want to go for larger areas

NL: BWB, city managers, etc…. show them what the app can/could be used as either an organizational tool (BWB) or for the Baltimore county…(I lost the idea here)

BM: get a diverse group—show it, play with it and then ask them about it: efficacy, usability Can we do a case study now or plan one for the last year? BM: understand their current (and potential) processes for stormwater and other indicators

NL: looking beyond just water, also looking at other environmental impacts on the community.

BM: organizational and social dimensions of how a tool might be used.

NL: Is the homeowner a practical endpoint now?
BM: use it when projects are being scoped,

Baltimore City: Kim Grove, Rosanna LaPlante Baltimore County Parks and People Baltimore Ecosystem Forest Service Morgan Grove. PI of BES BWB—a conglomeration of groups…they are the watershed group for the area

A national watershed org that happens to be in Baltimore area?? BM looking

? Durham or Portland: BM thinks not; ask Larry (OTHER SECYNC meeting) Someone from Arundel County Ginger Ellis

Bill Stack: Center for Watershed Protection (Works with Neely)

UNDERSTAND the state of the tool when we do the workshop

• Anyone we DON”T want to see it if it is rough?
• Know what we want to learn from them

NL: County has regulations they must meet; could this tool help them consider options for meeting those goals? Demonstrating co-benefits of using the tool. Parks and People doesn’t have mandate—their mission is different: they want to know, e.g., “IF I green this neighborhood, ….” What are the benefits.
