Leveraging Private Sector Investments and Public Funds to Support Smart Growt...GrowSmart Maine
Why plan for growth and change, when it seems so much easier to simply react?
When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure.
This is the dollars and sense of smart growth.
Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change.
After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood
And in the end, this means that our children and their children will choose to make Maine home and our economy will provide the opportunities to do so.
The Summit offers you a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the transformative change in Maine that we’ve seen these gatherings produce. We encourage you to consider the value of being actively involved in growing Maine’s economy and protecting the reasons we choose to live here.
The City of College Station is considering approving ordinances to formally adopt updated Water and Wastewater Master Plans into the city's Comprehensive Plan. The master plans were previously approved in 2016 and establish infrastructure projects needed to accommodate future growth through buildout based on the land use plan and growth rate. The water plan lists $15 million for projects from 2014-2019, $11 million from 2020-2024, and $30 million from 2025-buildout. The wastewater plan lists $115 million for projects from 2016-2021, $56 million from 2022-2026, and $62 million from 2027-buildout. City Council is asked to approve the ordinances to adopt the master plans
The City Council Strategic Plan outlines the city's core values and strategic initiatives for 2017-2019. It identifies 7 strategic initiatives: Good Governance, Financial Sustainability, Core Services & Infrastructure, Neighborhood Integrity, Diverse & Growing Economy, Improving Mobility, and Sustainable City. For each fiscal year, key actions are defined for each strategic initiative, such as completing a new city website, developing parks and facilities, and supporting neighborhood preservation and economic development. Progress reports will track updates on implementing these strategic priorities throughout the years.

The Sunshine State will always experience growth, whether rapid or slow. This growth will continue to drain the cheap and easy water resources of the State. This session will provide an overview of how three local governments have completely redesigned their long range planning program to incorporate potable water issues into their comprehensive and current plans. The
determination of demand, the single utility provider structure, and the costs of these infrastructure projects will be discussed. For local planners, the need and ability to implement long range plans through collaboration between the utility engineer and the planner will be stressed.
This document discusses a proposed land use plan amendment and development options for a 8.1 acre property located at 6620 Victoria Avenue in College Station, Texas. It notes the history of the property and challenges with residential development due to limited sewer capacity and high development costs. Neighbors expressed concerns about a proposed self-storage facility, including security, light and noise pollution, and effects on property values. Alternative development options discussed include a church, riding stable, or leaving the property undeveloped as parkland.

A financial advisor from FirstSouthwest presented details on the proposed bond sale.
The Alamo Heights pool is in need of $600,000 in repairs due to its age. The pool has been leased to Rick Shaw since the early 1990s but now needs work on its drain, plaster, tile, and pool equipment. Completing the necessary repairs may require additional upgrades to meet ADA regulations and city codes. The city has not conducted a cost analysis and would need to hire a consultant/engineer to provide more details on costs. Council must decide whether to move forward and seek funding options like bonds or general funds to finance the project.

The document discusses a resolution to establish a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program administered by the Alamo Council of Governments (AACOG) to provide low-cost, long-term loans for energy efficiency and water conservation improvements to commercial, nonprofit and large multifamily properties in 12 cities and counties in the region including San Antonio, Boerne and Castle Hills.
The document discusses Franklin's stormwater program and proposes establishing a stormwater utility fee. It provides background on Franklin's stormwater infrastructure, regulatory requirements, and current costs. Projected future costs are estimated to increase 44% due to enhanced permit requirements. A stormwater utility fee based on impervious surface area is proposed to generate dedicated funding, replacing reliance on general taxes. Examples show average annual fees of $28.15 per 1,000 square feet of impervious area. The proposal seeks feedback on establishing an enterprise fund and fee structure committee.
BiCounty Parkway Presentation for Congressman Wittmanjazztothebone
This document questions the need for and justification of the proposed Bi-County Parkway based on traffic analyses and personal observations. It notes that traffic congestion does not currently exist on Gum Spring Road, which was a cited motivation for the parkway. It also raises concerns about environmental impacts to the local watershed and increased truck traffic through rural areas. Suggestions are provided to instead focus on public transportation improvements and a limited connection between Prince William and Loudoun counties that avoids protected lands.
The City Council meeting document discusses refunding remaining Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) funds and pursuing an alternative festival ground project. It is recommended that the City refund TIRZ funds of $609,204 to College Station ISD and $603,782 to Brazos County. The City would then use $1 million of its remaining $1.338 million in TIRZ proceeds and long-term debt funds for a reduced festival ground area project including additional parking, landscaping, walking paths, and utilities, rather than the previously planned larger water feature and festival ground project. The Council will also consider actions to encourage development in the Wolf Pen Creek District.
World Bank Water project for Andhra Pradeshguest0bc3481b
The document summarizes irrigation reforms in Andhra Pradesh, India that were supported by the World Bank. It discusses how Andhra Pradesh was the first state to enact legal changes to enable water sector reforms in 1995. This included establishing water user associations and transferring operation and maintenance of irrigation infrastructure to these groups. However, the reforms faced challenges from policy contestation among different actors like irrigation bureaucrats and users. While the reforms aimed to increase participation and cost recovery, they did not fully decentralize control and served to preserve existing interests more than establish participatory management.

The document discusses securing a private network environment using Network Address Translation (NAT). It summarizes the configuration of routers, switches, and NAT for three separate organizations (Org1, Org2, Org3) to allow internal clients to access the internet through public IP addresses while protecting private servers. VLANs are used to separate server and client networks in each organization. NAT is configured on the routers to translate private to public IP addresses for internal clients to access the internet and expose specific internal servers to the internet.
NETMAX TECHNOLOGIES provides network training, software training, and embedded systems support and consultancy. Courses include CCNA, CCNP, Red Hat Linux, Windows, C, C++, Java, .NET, and microcontroller training. It uses NAT to allow private networks to connect to the internet using a limited number of public IP addresses. Static NAT maps a private IP to a public IP in a 1:1 ratio. Dynamic NAT maps private IPs to public IPs from a pool. Overloading NAT maps multiple private IPs to one public IP using port addressing.

Guess what? Starting from your garage is my first word of advice for anyone who wants to set up a lean start-up. Did you know that you can make more profit during the first year when you operate in your own region? 10.770 euro instead of 1900 euro, according Danish research.
Because in your own region you know the market, you know the people and it's more easy to raise money.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

• The road system in Sitka has developed over a
long period of time. The downtown business
area roads have been paved for many years.
• Many of the residential roads were not paved
until either an LID was formed by residents or
they were paved during the 80’s and 90’s under
State Grants. Some of these roads did not have
good bases and have deteriorated more than
others.

• Local Improvement Districts (LID) can be formed and assessed
the cost to repair streets per current CBS code.
• To maintain the primary road system at a high level LID programs
could be focused towards residential street areas only.
• LID programs are more successful when municipalities pay a
portion of the cost and provides low interest loans to the owners
assessed in order to pay the cost over 20-years.
• The challenges with LID programs are that they require 50%
support by the owners within the LID area and the allocation of the
assessment can be viewed as unfair.
• LID programs can create a patchwork system whereas some
roads may not get repaired and be converted to gravel.

• Focus on the residential streets without curb, gutter and sidewalk.
• Select street sections that make sense functionally as a unit and
apply an LID to that section.
• LID expenses are shared 1/3rd
for one side of the street, 1/3rd
for
the opposite side of the street, and 1/3rd
by the CBS.
• Separating the residential streets equates to $14.6 million in
construction costs shifted into the LID program.
• There are approximately $28 million in road repair remaining
associate to our primary roads consisting on curb, gutter and
sidewalk.
