Good morning,

 

I recently wrote Commissioner Alpert talking points for an event she attended last month. I’ve edited slightly and attached them here.

 

Nik/Sage, let me know if you have anything else to add.

 

Thank you,

Alia, Nik, Sage,

Tight turn around but could you put together some talking points for the Commissioner?  Please see below.  Could you have them back to me by end of business tomorrow?  Like I said short turn around but let’s set Liz up to have some good easy talking points on our efforts please.

Thanks

Would you coordinate with appropriate staff. Sustainably office of course but check with Nik and others as they may have some ideas.

Dave,

 

I will be doing an interview with a reporter from WUSF on Thursday, December 18 at 1:00 p.m. regarding the City’s sustainability projects.

 

Could you please have staff prepare some talking points for me.
