Ca_1:INI=107 Page 1 2 PARTNERS IN PROJECT GREEN EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE i MEETING MINUTES For Information PARTNERS IN PROJECT GREEN 2014 COLLECTIVE PROJECT FUNDING ALLOCATIONS Receive for information the following three (3) proposed collective projects and funding allocations: 1. Electric Vehicle Network: $80,000 2. On -Site Organics Diversion: $30,000 3. Stormwater Management Showcase: $50,000 On July 28t", 2014 an extraordinary Executive Management Committee meeting with Performance Committee Chairs was held via conference call to allocate the $160,000 set aside for the execution of large collective projects mandated by the Committee to exemplify the power of multi -stakeholder collaboration while creating significant publicity for the Partners in Project Green program. Three proposed collective projects were presented by Committee Chairs and delegates, and compared using the following criteria: 1. Collaboration factor — Potential for multiple -stakeholder involvement 2. Environmental Impact — Potential magnitude of environmental benefits 3. Innovativeness — innovation in design, technology, business model, approach, etc. 4. Marketing Value — Potential story, hot topic, appeal, stakeholders, project size 5. Scalability — Potential to scale up and replicate for the development of future programs or adoption by other stakeholders. Recognizing the benefits of all three proposed projects, and appreciating given budgeting constraints, meeting participants reached a consensus to support all three proposed projects with the following funding allocations, as laid out in Figure 1. Agreed Funding Request = $160K ■ EV Network 4D ■ Organics Ar Water Footprint Figure 1— Partners in Project Green Collective Project Funding Allocation The outcome of the extraordinary meeting was well received by members of the larger Executive Management Committee, who reiterated their support for the selected collective projects and requested that a marketing plan be developed to promote the various project launches [#PPG A3o"']. Page 13 PARTNERS IN PROJECT GREEN EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE I MEETING MINUTES For Information Performance Committee Updates Present Performance Committee progress and discuss challenges. Progress presented by Performance Committee and Service Centre Chairs was well received. See attached Item4_Performance_Committee_Report.pdf for more information. One of the challenges identified pertained to performance targets. More specifically what should be counted as part of Committee performance targets, and how this should be reported. The issue was not discussed, but could be tabled as a future agenda item. The Next Practice was hired to help TRCA accelerate progress and enhance its impact across the region. As such, The Next Practice consultants will run a workshop with Partners in Project Green stakeholders to further develop the proposed Service Centre business models and maximize their potential impact, as well as help staff gather valuable insights for the completion of the project's feasibility study. Executive Management Committee members will be invited to participate in the half day workshop on November 6, 2014. See attached PPG Flagship Proj - TNP7oct2014.pdf for more information regarding The Next Practice and their approach. For Discussion 2015 MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN Confirm Committee support towards the recruitment of top PPG targets. Recognizing the imminent 2015 membership campaign start (November 15`, 2014), and building on Partners in Project Green's second marketing strategy pillar (leveraging community champions), Executive Management Committee members agreed to help with the recruitment of prospective members. To this end, a list of target companies was produced by staff, and Executive Management Committee agreed to identify 2-3 organizations from this list and beyond that each committee member will contact at the start of the 2015 Membership campaign [*PPG A4/141. To support Committee members in this effort, staff were requested to develop member introduction packages that would have some degree of segmentation to cater different audiences PG A5/14]. In order to strengthen Partners in Project Green's membership base and create further value for the Pears Eco -Business Zone community, it was also recommended that staff develop a mechanism for the creation of a service and solution provider referral list ["PPG A60,']. TERMINATION ON MOTION, the meeting terminated at 9:06 a.m., on October 7, 2014.
