Sound System at Fitzpatrick Presented by Angela O’Connor, Deputy Director of Parks, Recreation & Facilities and Dave Coffin, Headlight Audio Visual Angela O’Connor provided an update on the efforts from the Parks, Recreation & Facilities teams to address the noise issue and also facilitated opportunities for the residential neighborhood to communicate their concerns. Dave Coffin gave a presentation on a proposed sound mitigation plan to reduce noise and sound pollution from the stadium in the surrounding area. The updated plans involve upgraded equipment, adjusting the angles of the speakers, and creating different sound zones. Comments from Councilors Councilors share appreciation for the collective effort to help mitigate this issue. Councilor Phillips clarifies that this item is only discussing the sound system and inquires if there is an update regarding the related parking issue at this location. Ethan Hipple explained some of the parking issues and shared that additional Parking Control Officers have been sent on game days and the goal is to start the season with a strong presence and enforcement of the parking regulations in the neighborhood. Councilor Phillips also asks if there will be another engagement with neighborhood residents. We will continue to be available to answer questions and would be open to an additional public meeting if needed. Councilor Bullett notes that Greater Portland METRO may also have new opportunities to provide additional services on game days. January 14, 2026, Meeting Minutes The January 14, 2026, meeting minutes were approved unanimously. Sustainability Updates Presented by Troy Moon, Sustainability Office Page 3 The Sustainability Office welcomed our new Resilience Corps Fellow, Emma Bordi. We also held a pre-proposal meeting with consultants interested in our RFP for conducting our shoreline inventory and GIS data collection. 18 separate firms were in attendance indicating strong interest in the project. Lastly, we have some exciting Coffee & Climate events coming up this year. Electrify Everything! Report Presented by Katie Tims​ Katie Tims gave an overview of the Sustainability Office’s three different Electrify Everything! programs and their outcomes in advancing beneficial electrification among Portland residents. The three iterations of Electrify Everything! include the pilot home electrification bulk buy purchase program, two rounds of Electrify Bikes to provide discounted e-bikes to income eligible individuals, and DIY Electrify, which provided rebates to income-eligible residents to electrify appliances and weatherize their apartments and homes. Comments from Councilors Councilor Ali asked how we approached reaching out to residents whose primary language is not English. For the second two program iterations, we shared translated program material with community partners, flyered throughout the community and in community centers, and worked with City departments, such as the Office of Economic Opportunity and Public Health, to help spread the word. Councilor Ali also asked if we were able to contact people who live in retirement communities? We did reach out to the Office of Elder Affairs and found participation from diverse populations, including age and background. Neighborhood Mini Grants Report Presented by Karly Masucci Meyer Karly Massucci Meyer gave an overview of the Sustainability Office’s inaugural Mini Grants program, successfully awarded twenty-nine Mini Grants to teams of residents and neighborhood organizations, supporting projects, events, or programs that foster collaboration and strengthen social connections among neighbors. Portland residents were invited to apply as teams of at least three neighbors or on behalf of neighborhood organizations for small grants of up to $500 to fund their project ideas. The twenty-nine grant funded projects spanned a wide range of activities from lively neighborhood fall festivals and hands-on bicycle repair workshops to native pollinator plantings and language exchange meetups. Projects were implemented across Portland and collectively reached over a thousand residents who helped plan or attend mini grant funded events or activities. Comments from Councilors Councilor Michniewicz shares that she heard so much great feedback from residents who participated in these events, and shares her appreciation for this program and its many outcomes. She asks if there is a plan for sustaining/continuing this program? We are looking for a funding source and having conversations internally and also looking for grant funding. Page 4 Overview of 5 Years of One Climate Future Presented by Troy Moon Five years ago, the Cities of Portland and South Portland joined forces to create and adopt One Climate Future, a bold roadmap charting a course to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2050 and use 100% clean energy for municipal operations by 2040, while building resilience to the impacts of climate change. With One Climate Future as a road map, we have been able to make significant strides toward realizing our “Six Big Moves” – these are high impact, cross-cutting initiatives that touch on multiple aspects of our climate plan. Some of those highlights include: ●​ Operating on clean, renewable energy: Solar projects the City owns or has offtake agreements with have generated more than 45 million kWh of solar power during the past 5 years. This has resulted in savings of over three million dollars. In addition, the offsite projects generate Renewable Energy Credits, the sale of which provide funds for the Climate Action Fund established by the City Council. ●​ Building social resilience: Portland launched the Sustainable Neighborhoods Program to empower residents to come together, build relationships, and take collective action in their neighborhoods. The program provides free block party kits and cleanup kits, supporting twenty block parties and thirty-one neighborhood cleanups thus far. The first round of Neighborhood Mini Grants awarded twenty-nine grants citywide for neighbor-led projects that foster collaboration and strengthen social connection. ●​ Adopting progressive development standards: Portland has proactively adopted development standards to ensure that new development is efficient, connected, and resilient in the face of climate change. Through the ReCode process, the City created Transit Oriented Zones, enhanced stormwater and heat mitigation requirements, eliminated parking minimums, and adopted parking maximums. Comments from Councilors Councilor Ali asks Director Moon to share more about the most recent greenhouse gas inventory. Between the community wide greenhouse gas inventory we did in 2017 to the one we most recently did using 2023 data we found that emissions from buildings actually went down, due to the transition away from heating oil and the greening of the electricity grid. We did unfortunately see an increase in emissions in the transportation sector, primarily due to the number of diesel trucks and single passenger vehicles that drive in and through the city. Future transit related policies that the City and the state will make will help us make progress in this sector. Councilor Bullett reminds the Committee that the national energy grid and state energy policy is something that we should keep on our radar. Director Moon notes that we will be a formal intervener in the latest PUC processes. Committee Work Plan for 2026 Presented by Troy Moon, Greg Jordan, and Councilor Phillips Page 5 Greg Jordan notes that the following is a list of the items that reflect what was discussed at the Council goal setting workshop and also what the Committee discussed last month. ●​ Consider development of Vision Zero ordinance, focused on complete streets, pedestrian safety, walkability, and community engagement. ●​ Assess benefits and trade-offs of an intersection red light camera pilot program to improve safety, and consider developing a legislative proposal. ●​ Review and recommend to the City Council a final conceptual plan for the Reimagine Franklin Street project. ●​ Review and update the Green Building Code (Chapter 6). ●​ Review and update the Energy Benchmarking Ordinance (Chapter 6). ●​ Review and update the Landcare Ordinance (Chapter 34). Councilor Bullett Councilor Phillips acknowledges that the Committee will also be taking on more items than just these priority goals, including updates about the Portland International Jetport, scrubber wash from cruise ships, municipal solar plans, and the Climate Action Fund. Troy Moon agrees that we should review the Climate Action Fund. He also notes that the six items are new policies that will be added to the Committee’s work plan. Councilor Phillips clarifies that we are carrying over goals that we are continuing to work on from 2025 and adding these new goals to the 2026 workplan. Councilor Ali asks when the items – such as Portland International Jetport, scrubber wash from cruise ships, municipal solar plans – are going to be addressed? Councilor Phillips asks to hear from Council members and staff as we plan meetings this year. Councilor Bullett clarifies that we do not have to vote tonight and notes that staff may have a better understanding of the timeline for when to address these items. Motion to Adjourn The motion was moved by Councilor Bullett and seconded by Councilor Ali. The motion was approved 3-0.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Project: Islands Resililience Planning The Council accepted $10,000 in grant funding from the Casco Bay Estuary Partnership to support island residents with resilience planning. In collaboration with a group of Casco Bay Island residents and the Island Institute, we are using this funding to host an Upland-to Bluff Stability Workshop for members that will be open to residents of all Casco Bay islands including Chebeague Island and Long Island. The workshop will take place later this summer and feature speakers from City staff, the Maine DEP, the Maine Geological Survey, as well as the landscape architect working on the featured project, which is on Great Diamond Island. Following the workshop the Sustainability Office will lead development and deployment of a best practices guide to inform coastal property owners of how to manage their properties in ways that protect coastlines from erosion. Our team has been working with our partners to line up the speakers and organize the logistics necessary to get the workshop participants to Great Diamond. 1 Page 7 We participated in the second meeting of the Peaks Island Working Group, which includes Peaks Island residents and leaders who are studying ways to make the island more resilient. This includes coastal adaptation and social resilience. This work will inform future City wide resilience planning. Project: Peninsula Neighborhood Collaborative The Sustainability Office participated in a workshop at City Hall organized by leaders of the Peninsula neighborhood organizations. Public Works and Parks participated as well. It was a great opportunity to share our projects and programs with the neighborhood organizations so they could learn how to participate. It also was a great opportunity to coordinate work with the neighborhoods and our colleagues in other departments. Project: Community Education and Engagement On March 11 and 12, the Sustainability Office hosted a two part webinar series designed to give Maine residents practical, actionable advice on how to understand their energy usage and save money. The sessions included: ●​ “Decoding Your Utility Bill” with energy analysts from Competitive Energy Services ●​ “DIY Weatherization 101” with an independent energy auditor Upcoming Coffee & Climate webinars include: ●​ “What’s Powering Your Electric Bill” with Charlie Agnew of Competitive Energy Services on March 20 ●​ “The Future of Solar in Maine” with a panel of state leaders on April 10 ●​ “Ecological Gardening and Value of Messiness” with Kelly Corbin, an ecological landscape consultant on May 8 Mark your calendars for Earth Day, which will be held on April 18th in Deering Oaks. This will be an fun and educational event with more than 20 organizations participating, food trucks, and a live band.

COMMITTEE WORK PLAN/CITY COUNCIL GOAL ALIGNMENT The Jetport has several large projects underway and it was recognized that quarterly briefings to the Sustainability and Transportation Committee are helpful for the City Council and public to stay informed on the progress of projects and operations at the Jetport. BACKGROUND First, on the operations front, I want to acknowledge the exceptional work by all Portland International Jetport team members, which includes City, TSA, FAA, airlines, fixed base operators, concessionaires, and business partners who served a record 2.59 million total travelers (enplanements + deplanements) in 2025. The Jetport Team was recognized again in 2025 by Airports Council International with the following Airport Service Quality Awards: ●​ Best Airports at Departures: 2 to 5 million Passengers in North America ●​ Best Airports: Most Dedicated Staff in North America ●​ Best Airports: Easiest Airport Journey in North America The Jetport has experienced consistent and high growth over the past five years, outpacing all other New England airports. The following table provides 10 years of passenger enplanement (boardings) data trends for the Jetport. As highlighted in the table, the Jetport set all-time records for passenger enplanements for seven consecutive months in 2025 from April – October. The market remains soft in the 1st quarter, which hasn’t fully recovered to its pre-pandemic peaks reached in 2019 and 2020. 1 Page 9 The following chart provides seven years of the same data in a graphical format that clearly demonstrates the seasonality of Portland’s air travel market and the robust recovery from the pandemic. Looking to 2026 there is an expectation that growth will be more muted, down from the double and high single digit levels we have experienced over the past five years. The FAA Terminal Area Forecast projects growth rates from 1.7% to 3.7% over the next five years. This is consistent with historical air travel trends that follow regional population and economic growth. Although growth is expected to slow, the Jetport has started 2026 with several positive air-service announcements, including the first ever non-stop trans-continental Saturdays only service from Portland to Los Angeles and San Francisco starting June 27, 2026. This announcement was followed by a Breeze Airways announcement of two day/week non-stop service to Akron/Canton 2 Page 10 and Cincinnati, Ohio starting on July 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Overall airlines have added 44,936 outbound seats or 5% for the upcoming six months (March – August 2026) over the same period in 2025. This is detailed in the following chart. I’m pleased to present the Jetport’s updated route map which spans the nation. The ability for a small City and State to provide such a robust connection to the national air transportation system speaks to the popularity of Portland and Maine as a destination for travelers from across the country. 3 Page 11 The following Jetport projects are in the final stages of design and have commenced or are planned to commence construction in the next six months. Terminal Apron Reconstruction Phase 1: This project commenced last construction season and will resume construction this month at Gate 3. This project removes and replaces the existing 30-year-old 17-21” thick concrete aircraft apron at gates 3-6. 4 Page 12 Terminal Apron Reconstruction Phase 2 and Long-Term Hold Area/Deicing Pad Expansion Phase 2: These two projects are being combined in order to provide sufficient apron parking space during construction. Relocation of the Jetport Administration Offices, Operation Center, and new Airport Emergency Operations Center (AEOC): This project relocates the Jetport administrative offices and the Jetport operations center to existing shell space over baggage claim. The relocation of the administrative offices and operations center, which are adjacent to the gate concourse, allows for the future expansion of 5 Page 13 passenger amenities within the gate concourse. These amenities include: expanded concessions, additional restrooms, and a passenger lounge. This project also includes the development of an Airport Emergency Operations Center (AEOC). The AEOC space is being designed with data and communications to support operations in the event of an airport emergency and was designed to support the City of Portland’s use of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) plan for all emergencies response. Construction bids for this project were received in February and were very competitive with seven bids submitted. The low bid of $6.38 million came in under budget, and was submitted by Optimum Construction who recently completed the Jetport’s Gate 11, 12, 14 project. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Expansion: This project will provide 18 new level 2 6 kW charging stations. Four will be located in the Public Short Term Hourly Lot and 14 will be located in the Employee parking lot. This $259,000 project with Revision Energy is 80% funded through an Efficiency Maine incentive grant to electrify more employee accessible parking for commuters. CONCLUSION(S) This agenda item is an informational update that does not require Committee action.

COMMITTEE WORK PLAN/CITY COUNCIL GOAL ALIGNMENT Preservation and promotion of Monarch Butterfly habitat aligns with goals established in One Climate Future to improve soil health and biodiversity. Specific actions include CR 1.3: Resilient Open Space Planning, and CR5.1: Ecosystem Adaptive Management BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The National Wildlife Foundation established the Mayors’ Monarch Pledge to spur local governments to implement policies and practices that protect and improve habitat vital to the survival of Monarch Butterflies. This species is under serious threat from such things as habitat loss, the widespread use of pesticides, and increasing climate instability. The City’s climate action plan, One Climate Future, recognizes the importance of eliminating the use of pesticides and expanding coverage of native plants, including milkweed, in City open spaces. For this reason, the City already takes actions recommended by the NWF to protect Monarchs. These include: ●​ Banning the use of synthetic pesticides on public and private lands ●​ Development of urban meadows to enhance native plant habitat including milkweed ●​ Adoption of organic land management practices ●​ Hosting native seed swaps and conducting workshops to demonstrate the how residents can bring native plants into the urban environment 1 Page 15  ●​ We are developing guidelines for creating esplanade gardens that feature native plant communities and will be encouraging residents to use them starting this spring. Given this, we find that the goals and objectives of the pledge align with the City’s stated goals and align with our operational practices. FISCAL IMPACT City operational practices and policies already align with the objectives stated in the pledge. Current practices fulfill the action commitment requested by the pledge. Consequently, there is no fiscal impact.

We, the undersigned mayors and heads of local or tribal government, are deeply concerned about the decline of the monarch butterfly population. Both the western and eastern monarch populations have experienced significant declines. Monarch scientists attribute the population decline to degradation and loss of summer breeding habitat in the U.S., and loss of winter habitat in south-central Mexico and coastal California. Cities, towns, and counties have a critical role to play to help save the monarch butterfly. Municipalities can provide habitat at public parks, median strips, community gardens, and municipal buildings like recreation centers and libraries. Events such as community workshops, native plant giveaways and monarch festivals can educate residents about the cultural significance of monarchs and how to create habitat. Simple changes in landscaping ordinances or other policies can make a big difference for the monarch, too. We recognize the importance of creating monarch and pollinator habitat at parks, gardens, and other green spaces, that every member of our community can equally enjoy. Our work to help save the monarch butterfly will intentionally engage all parts of our community, ensuring that historically marginalized communities are not left out of the work or the many benefits this work will create. When mayors speak up and take a stand, our communities notice. Therefore, we hereby commit to help restore habitat for the monarch and encourage our residents to do the same, so that these magnificent butterflies will once again flourish across the continent. Sign the pledge at www.nwf.org/mayorsmonarchpledge Page 18  Action Items Communications and Convening: Action # Action Issue a proclamation to raise awareness about the decline of the monarch butterfly and the species’ need for habitat.

Licensing of Tow Operators *Editor's note--The schedule of tow fees is set by the City in Order 27- 22/23 on August 8, 2022 as follows: ORDERED, that the schedule of maximum rates permitted to be charged vehicle owners by wreckers for specified services listed below adopted pursuant to Chapter 28, Sections 275 and 303 (NOTE: now Section 125) of the Portland City Code, and by Council Order 30-88/89, dated June 7, 1989 and amended on May 16, 1994, January 19, 2000, Order 155- 04/05, February 2, 2005, Order 161-07/08, March 3, 2008, by Order 14-13/14 on July 15, 2013 and Order 108-17/18 on November 20, 2017, 1.​ Towing of Vehicles or All-Terrain Vehicles $135.00 per non-accident tow $150.00 per accident tow $150.00 for any vehicle with dual tires on the rear axle. When a vehicle is off-road, submerged, rolled over or otherwise requires special equipment for retrieval before it can be towed, a charge of $80 may be assessed in addition to the towing fee. If the recovery takes longer than one hour, a rate of $80 per hour after the first hour may be charged. 1 Page 29  2.​ Once a wrecker has hooked a vehicle to the wrecker, a vehicle owner may take possession of his vehicle if the wrecker has not started to leave the scene with the vehicle and if the owner pays a $40.00 fee in cash to the wrecker driver. Upon such payment, the wrecker shall release the vehicle. No towing fee shall be charged if the owner arrives to move his vehicle prior to the wrecker hooking up to the vehicle. In the case of a police-requested tow and to the extent possible, the wrecker shall not lose its place in rotation on the police towing list if the tow is either cancelled or if the owner retrieves his vehicle prior to tow under this subsection. "Hooked or hooked up" for purposes of this subsection means that the wrecker has attached the vehicle to the wrecker by chains or by hook, or some other similar physical connection that must be detached before the vehicle can move, regardless of whether it has been lifted or moved. "Starts to leave the scene" means that the vehicle is fully attached for towing and the wrecker has begun to move from the scene. When a vehicle is shoveled out by a tow operator in order to hook it up during a snow ban or for a snow removal conducted by or for the City, and a City employee engaged or participating in the snow removal process determines that the shoveling was reasonable and necessary to accomplish a hook up, the fee shall be $25 regardless of whether the vehicle is hooked up when the vehicle owner arrives at the scene. In cases where the vehicle is shoveled out and hooked up the total fee to release the vehicle shall be $40.00. 3.​ Storage of vehicles: $40.00 per day or part thereof. Storage charges shall begin twenty-four hours after the vehicle is towed. 4.​ The charge by the City for vehicles impounded or stored on City property pursuant to Chapter 28 shall be $25.00 for impoundment and storage for the first twenty-four hours from the date and time of impoundment, and shall be $10.00 for each day, or part thereof, thereafter. 5.​ Wrecker owners may charge a $40.00 release fee for vehicles released from storage after 7:00 p.m. and prior to 7:00 a.m. seven days a week and from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sundays or on official City holidays. 6.​ The Chief of police or designee may authorize additional charges in unusual circumstances. 7.​ If a vehicle must be towed after the initial tow, wrecker owners may charge a $135.00 fee for each additional tow of the same vehicle performed at the City's request. 8.​ When a vehicle and trailer or two vehicles are towed at the same time the tow fee shall be $270.00. (Ord. No. 183-97, 1-22-97; Ord. No. 27-08/09, 8-4-08) Additionally, the minimum continuous regulations outlined below in Sec. 28-123 have been in place since 2008. 2 Page 30 Sec. 28-123. Minimum continuous regulations. The following minimum regulations will be met on a continuous basis by all licensees: (a) A.​ Licensees shall operate and maintain storage and release facilities within the city, or within a radius of five (5) miles from Portland City Hall, as may be necessary for safe and proper conduct of towing activities. B.​ Licensees shall permit the chief of police to conduct one (1) regular and two (2) random inspections of each towing vehicle during the term of the license. C.​ Licensees shall permit the chief of police to conduct one (1) regular and two (2) random inspections of each storage and release areas during the term of the license. D.​ Licensees shall maintain such records as required by regulations promulgated by the chief of police pursuant to section 28-124 and shall permit their inspection by the chief or his or her designee during normal business hours. E.​ Vehicles must be towed, not driven, to storage lots. F.​ Licensees must provide a secure storage area in accordance with regulations promulgated in accordance with section 28-124. G.​ No vehicle shall be towed to a lot outside of the city unless pursuant to subsection (1) of this section or unless it has been unclaimed for thirty (30) days and only upon the prior written notice to the police chief or his or her designee. H.​ The police chief or his or her designee must be notified of any unclaimed vehicle by electronically reporting the relevant information from the invoice or tow slip for any unclaimed vehicle once a week to the police chief or his or her designee. Said information shall be electronically reported by Tuesday each week and shall include information for each vehicle in licensee's possession that remains unclaimed on the last day of the preceding week. I.​ Licensees shall clean the accident area of all nonhazardous vehicular debris resulting from the accident, if there be any. J.​ Licensees shall not make any repairs to vehicles without the consent of the owner. K.​ Vehicles shall be released from storage in accordance with regulations promulgated by the chief of police pursuant to section 28-124. L.​ Licensees shall hold the city harmless from all claims for damages to property and injuries to persons resulting from the licensees' negligence in the towing or storage of vehicles pursuant hereto. M.​ Licensees shall not require the owner of the towed vehicle to pay any charge unless signage warning that unauthorized vehicles will be towed at the vehicle owner's expense is posted clearly and conspicuously at each entrance and exit of nonresidential property from which the vehicle is removed or said signage is clearly and conspicuously visible from all entrances of the lot. Signs must include information about how a missing vehicle may be located. 3 Page 31  N.​ Licensees shall conspicuously post current rates for services under this article at the release facility. O.​ Licensees shall release vehicles within one (1) hour of the owner's request. Staff researched other rates in order to provide context about a potential increase in Portland. Below is a summary table of rates. City Tow Fee Daily Storage Fees Portland, ME $135 day/night $40/day Biddeford, ME $120 daytime/$150 nighttime $50/day Freeport, ME $100 daytime/$125 nighttime $50/day storage Saco, ME $160 $40 outdoor/$50 indoor per 24 hours Scarborough, ME $135 daytime/$135 nighttime $50/day, $100 EV/day South Portland, ME $150 $40/day storage, $40 release fee Boston, MA $132 + fuel surcharge $35/day Manchester, NH $175 $50/day, $50 release fee Not exceed $160/hr day, Dover, NH $180/hr nights & weekends $65/day, $50 release fee $75 + standby, additional Burlington, VT personnel fees $30/day at City lot Approx $175 - Private Portsmouth, NH operator sets own fees Private operator sets own rates Nashua, NH $185 $80/day FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact on City operations. CONCLUSION(S) The current fee structure is not competitive in the market which negatively impacts City operations. Tow operators may prioritize other municipalities that allow a higher maximum fee when requests for towing are in high demand. Additionally, tow lots within a 5 mile radius regularly reach capacity. This impacts City operations as it limits the ability to tow vehicles that are in violation. Staff recommends considering the following changes to Chapter 28 Current Proposed Item Description $135 $150 Tow fee per non-accident tow $150 $175 Tow fee per accident tow $150 $165 Tow fee for any vehicles with dual tires on the rear axle $40 $50 Storage fee per day 5 miles 7 miles Maximum radius of tow lots from Portland City Hall 4 Page 32 PRIOR COUNCIL/COMMITTEE REVIEW N/A PREPARED BY Tony Wirkus Director Parking Division ATTACHMENTS N/A 5 Page 33 City of Portland | Portland International Jetport Paul Bradbury, Airport Director To: Sustainability and Transportation Committee Councilor Regina Phillips, Chair MEETING DATE March 11, 2026 AGENDA ITEM Agenda Item #3B - Portland International Jetport Surface Parking Project Appropriation PURPOSE Consider referral to the City Council a request to appropriate from the Jetport’s unrestricted fund balance $1.5 million to commence design on the Phase 3 Parking Garage and $8.6 million to commence construction on a revised smaller surface parking lot that is consistent with feedback received from the community. COMMITTEE WORK PLAN/CITY COUNCIL GOAL ALIGNMENT While this item is not included in the committee’s work plan, the proposed expansion of parking areas at the Jetport is a major project in support of the City’s overall transportation system. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS This Jetport is a multi-modal transportation facility that served an all-time record 2.59 million arriving and departing travelers in 2025. The Jetport is the state’s largest commercial service airport by passenger volume and provides an important connection for the greater Portland region and the State of Maine to the national air transportation system. The ability to connect air travelers to all forms of ground transportation in a safe, convenient, efficient, and sustainable manner is an important function of the Jetport. It is ideal for multimodal transportation facilities such as the Jetport to provide onsite walkable distance parking adequate to meet demand and reduce the need for shuttle operations. The proposed revised project as with all significant infrastructure projects at the Jetport has been developed over many years and was included in the prior two Jetport master plans issued in 2008 and 2018. Commercial service airports are required by the FAA to prepare or update master plans roughly every 10 years to ensure safe, operationally efficient facilities that meet FAA standards, and provide development guidance to meet forecast demand. The revised request proposes to commence design and planning now for the Phase 3 Parking Garage. This project is shown in orange as Intermediate Term Development Project 10 in the below Development Staging Plan from the Jetport’s 2018 Master Plan. 1 Page 34 Figure 1: Development Staging Plan In parallel with the garage design the Jetport requests funding to proceed with a revised smaller surface parking project (noted as Project 10a on Figure 1) that provides for the redevelopment and upgrade of two existing parking lots, a gravel 300 space valet parking lot that was acquired from Toye Airport Park LLC in 2021 and the existing 102 space cell phone lot. The existing redeveloped parking lots combined with the development of 2.1 acres of land previously cleared by Toye Airport Park LLC comprises the area for the revised plan. This is just over 2 acres smaller than the previous plan as outlined below. Page 35 Figure 2 The revised surface parking project (within the yellow perimeter in Figure 2) reduces the area, but will still accommodate the previously approved Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project. The project will provide a new self-park public parking lot of 537 spaces, which is 130 spaces smaller than the prior plan. The project will bring the existing gravel lot and partially cleared land acquired from Toye Airport Park LLC in 2021 up to current standards for lighting, stormwater treatment, pedestrian access, and landscaping. The following plan details the revised surface parking lot concept. Page 36 Figure 3 FISCAL IMPACT I The proposed $10.1 million for parking garage design and surface parking lot construction would be funded from the Jetport’s unrestricted fund balance. Approval of this appropriation will have no impact on the City of Portland’s general fund or tax rate. CONCLUSION(S) This project will allow the Jetport to provide the number of parking spaces needed to meet current and future demand. Staff fully supports the project and recommends referral by the Sustainability and Transportation Committee to the City Council.

This report details pesticide and fertilizer usage data across public and private lands, outlines the City’s educational outreach initiatives, and provides strategic recommendations for ordinance amendments to better protect the environment and public health. Executive Summary ●​ The Sustainability Director received 32 reports from State of Maine licensed applicators for 2025 compared to 34 applicator reports for 2024. ●​ The Landcare Management Advisory Committee received 7 waiver requests in 2025. ●​ The Sustainability Office ran a Plant Native campaign and continued the Summer Landcare Webinar Series, hosting programs that covered commonly introduced plants in Maine, ideal native plants for different types of yards, and how urban runoff from fertilizer overuse can create ecosystem disruption. ●​ During the past year, Portland Parks, Recreation & Facilities Department actively worked to combat invasive species, increase biodiversity, and improve tree equity. The Parks crew has also led the charge to improve soil conditions across the City’s green spaces by incorporating aeration and organic matter amendments to improve water and nutrient holding capacity of the soils. ●​ The Landcare Management Advisory Committee was dissolved by Council order; the Sustainability & Transportation Committee is to consider amendments to Chapter 34 in 2026. Page 1 of 6 Page 55 2025 Applicator Reported Data ●​ The Landcare Ordinance requires that licensed applicators submit an annual report containing the following information for applications performed in the City of Portland in the prior year: target site, pesticide brand name, EPA registration number, total undiluted formulation, and total area treated as listed and as amended on the Commercial Applicator Annual Summary Report required by the Maine Board of Pesticide Control. ●​ To notify applicators of this requirement, we utilized the Maine Landscape & Nursery Association and State of Maine Board of Pesticide Control lists and sent notice via email to all licensed applicators in Cumberland County. ●​ We received reports from 32 businesses, two fewer than last year. Two businesses reported they had no applications in Portland in 2025. Reports were received from: 1.​ A1 Exterminators 14.​ Maine Pest Solutions 23.​ Prep-Clean 2.​ Ant Man Pest Control, Inc. 15.​ Maine Tick & 24.​ Protect Pest Services 3.​ Anticks Pest Control LLC Mosquito Control, LLC 25.​ Rainbow Restoration of 4.​ Ants ETC Pest Service 16.​ Mainely Grass Greater Portland 5.​ Bartlett Tree Experts Holding LLC 26.​ Riverside Golf Course 6.​ Big Blue Bug Solutions 17.​ Mainely Ticks 27.​ Sterling Insect - Lawn 7.​ Bouchard Cleaning and 18.​ MD Weaver Control Inc Restoration Corporation 28.​ Superior Pest Services, 8.​ Burnell Pest Services 19.​ Modern Pest Services Inc 9.​ EZ Pest Solutions 20.​ Mosquito Squad of 29.​ The Davey Tree Expert 10.​ GrassGeek LLC (no Southern Maine Company applications) 21.​ Mission Turf Services 30.​ TruGreen 11.​ Green Pest Defense LLC 22.​ Precision Pest 31.​ Top Leaf Tree LLC 12.​ Liberty Pest Control, Inc.

For more details about the pesticides used, their active ingredients, and target pests, see Attachment A. Reports received indicate that commercial applications are predominantly for exempt uses including mosquitos and ticks (M&T), rodent control, carpenter ants, roaches, and bedbugs, which are exempt applications.

These webinars focused on a variety of sustainable landcare topics and are available on our Landcare website and our YouTube channel. Page 3 of 6 Page 57  ○​ “What Can We All Do for Stream Health? Let's Talk About Phosphorus” with Luke Frankel of Natural Resources Council of Maine who taught us about the complex local ecosystems affected by runoff from fertilizer overuse. ○​ “Cool Plant, Wrong Place: How to Correctly Remove Invasive Plant Species” with Mila Plavsic, PhD, of Falmouth Land Trust, who showed us commonly introduced plants in Maine, their unintentional harm, and how to remove them. ○​ “Right Plant, Right Place: Choosing the Right Native Plant for Your Yard” with Andrew Tufts of Maine Audubon who described all of the best native plants for different types of yards. ●​ Portland and South Portland Sustainability Office staff hold monthly Coffee & Climate webinars. Two of our 2025 webinars focused on landcare related topics. We promote these events in our monthly One Climate Future newsletter and they serve as a great catalogue of future resources. ○​ In June, our webinar focused on the importance of Stormwater Management. Our speakers, South Portland Stormwater Program Coordinator Aubrey Strause and Portland Stormwater Coordinator Doug Roncarati, discussed the importance of both Cities’ Landcare Ordinances and how green infrastructure can help prevent water pollution. ○​ In August, our webinar focused on Living Shorelines. Our speaker, Pete Slovinsky from the Maine Geological Survey discussed how we can take nature-based approaches (plants, rocks, sand) to protect our coastline against the impact of coastal erosion and enhance coastal ecosystems. We promoted this event in our monthly One Climate Future newsletter. ●​ Sustainability Office staff continued outreach efforts with the educational campaign “Mow Tall Until Fall”. This year, WMTW picked up the story and ran a news story and collaborative social media post about the campaign. Since 2023, we have handed out over 1,000 yard signs at community events (e.g., Portland Farmers Market, Wayside Pop-up Picnic events, Earth Day). ●​ We promoted the Eastern Prom Invasive Removal Series. In partnership with the City of Portland, Maine Audubon, Munjoy Hill Neighborhood Association, and Friends of the Eastern Promenade, volunteers removed invasive knotweed and plant native species every first and third Tuesday throughout the summer and fall. ●​ Sustainability Staff organized a fall “Apartment-Friendly Wildflower Workshop” where we provided free native seeds and planting materials and showed people how to properly overwinter native wildflower seeds. We also created educational “how-to” materials for those who could not attend. ●​ Sustainability Staff also designed a native wildflower poster with native seed packets attached and installed them across the city. People were able to take the packets of native wildflower seeds for free, with instructions on how to prepare them for spring bloom. This campaign was incredibly popular and we anticipate doing similar outreach next year. Page 4 of 6 Page 58  ●​ The Sustainability Office recently wrapped up the first round of our Sustainable Neighborhoods Mini Grants which awarded funding to 29 community-led projects from across the city! Many of these projects are rooted in sustainable landcare projects: ○​ Parkside Native Pollinator Planting Project: Aims to convert three esplanades “hell strips” in the Parkside neighborhood into low-growing (<24") native, xeric pollinator gardens. ○​ Fort Sumner Native Plant Garden: Aims to enhance Fort Sumner Park, both from ecological and aesthetic standpoints, and to encourage it to grow as a community space. ○​ Garden Revitalization Project: Engage the community in the design and plan for community garden space and grow a vibrant, welcoming outdoor space where people can learn, gather, and connect with nature in the Deering neighborhood of Portland. ○​ Parks Open House and Celebration: Host a community event to 1) celebrate significant recent improvements to our two island parks and the partnerships that helped make this possible, and 2) identify specific ways islanders of all ages can engage in caring for and creatively using these special places. ○​ Community Gardens at 651 Forest Ave: Aims to add 8 community garden beds and a picnic table to the empty space behind the Odd Fellows building in an effort to create a nurturing and welcoming environment for our neighbors and community members. ○​ Building a Community Pocket Park at Allen's Corner: Engages the community in Phase 1 of designing and building an age-friendly, public pocket park at the center of Allen’s Corner to encourage community connections across identities and backgrounds. ○​ Introduction to Nature Journaling and other ecology related workshops like "Maine Critters: Insects": A project that aims to foster awareness, curiosity and appreciation of the natural world (especially insects) in our neighborhood and beyond through regular documentation of observations in our journals. ●​ Between social media, presentations to students and professionals, in-person community events and more, we have so many opportunities to highlight programming around sustainable landcare and composting. ●​ The City of Portland Landcare website was updated with the new ordinance information and continues to be updated regularly by City staff. See the website at portlandmaine.gov/landcare Portland Parks, Recreation, and Facilities Landcare Updates ●​ The Parks, Recreation & Facilities Department is continuing the initiative to improve biodiversity in our ecosystem to produce more robust and resilient urban habitats and forests. ○​ The Horticulture crew has continued to integrate native perennial plantings whenever possible in the manicured garden spaces around town to reduce overall carbon emissions associated with the growing and installation of annual flower displays. The perennial plants are transplanted from the gardens in the late fall to overwinter in pots at the Canco facility as well as several locations in City Hall. Page 5 of 6 Page 59  ○​ The Horticulture crew has also continued to expand its wintertime seed germination capacity to grow more of the herbaceous plants that populate our garden spaces in house. ●​ The Forestry crew planted 160 new trees in 2025, focusing on neighborhoods with the lowest tree equity scores and canopy coverage numbers. ○​ Tree equity scores for the City of Portland can be viewed here: www.TreeEquityScore.org. ○​ More than 25 individual species were planted to increase overall species diversity within the City’s tree canopy. ○​ The Forestry crew went to great lengths to prepare sites and improve growing conditions for newly planted trees by excavating tree wells and replacing depleted urban soils with healthy soil wherever feasible. ○​ Soil testing in 2024 revealed severely depleted and compacted soils in many of the greenspaces that are limiting plant growth and long term ecosystem health. The Parks crew has been leading the charge to improve soil conditions across the City’s green spaces by incorporating aeration and organic matter amendments to improve water and nutrient holding capacity of the soils. ●​ The Parks, Recreation & Facilities Department is continuing efforts to mitigate invasives species and disease in our City trees: ○​ In 2025, the Department continued its efforts to manage the Emerald Ash Borer, involving the removal of infested trees in the City’s Right-Of-Way and the treatment of ~150 of the largest and healthiest ash trees to preserve them for future generations. ○​ In 2025, the Department continued its efforts to manage the Elm Bark Beetle and Dutch Elm Disease. Dutch elm disease continues to be active in Portland and causes annual elm tree mortality. The Department’s 2025 efforts include the ongoing treatment that targets both the disease pathogen itself as well as the insect vector that spreads it (Elm bark beetle). ○​ In collaboration with the Parks department, the Parks Conservancy undertook a pilot program of mechanical removal of Japanese knotweed along the midslope trail at the Eastern Promenade. Knotweed was repeatedly pulled by hand and the site was replanted with various conifer and deciduous tree species as a trial to test the effectiveness of volunteer driven invasive plant removal. Amendments to Chapter 34 The City Council dissolved the Landcare Management Advisory Committee and requested that the Sustainability & Transportation Committee review the ordinance (Chapter 34) and recommend potential amendments to the Council. The committee has one year to report to the Council. If no action is taken, Chapter 34 will revert back to the prior language on March 5, 2027. Under the recently adopted amendment, the Sustainability Director will receive requests for waivers from the requirements of the ordinance and make a recommendation to the Legislative & Nominating Committee about whether the waiver should be granted. The Legislative & Nominating Committee will decide whether to accept or reject the recommendation. The Committee’s decision will be final.

Kraft, AICP Director Staff Memo To: Sustainability & Transportation Committee Councilor Regina Phillips, Chair MEETING DATE March 11, 2026 AGENDA ITEM 2025 Complete Streets Annual Report PURPOSE Overview of the 2025 Complete Streets Annual Report. COMMITTEE WORK PLAN/CITY COUNCIL GOAL ALIGNMENT In July of 2025, the City Council adopted an updated complete streets policy, fulfilling a goal of the Sustainability & Transportation Committee’s 2025 work plan. Among many changes, the new policy is more prescriptive regarding performance measurement and annual reporting. This 2025 annual report is a response to those requirements. BACKGROUND Complete streets is a transportation approach that ensures that streets are planned, designed, built, operated, and maintained to provide safe, convenient, and accessible travel for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders, regardless of age or ability. While the design of complete streets varies by context, they commonly include consideration of core elements like sidewalks, bike lanes, transit accommodations, crosswalks, lighting, and ADA-accessible curb ramps. The City of Portland has had a complete streets policy since 2011, and most recently updated the policy in 2025. This means that the concept of complete streets has been central to the City’s transportation planning and street design for well over a decade. The complete streets policy aligns with other City policies and initiatives like Vision Zero, and is consistent with city-wide plans including Portland’s Plan and One Climate Future. Consistently and comprehensively measuring our performance relative to complete streets implementation, however, is new; this is the first complete streets annual report to be prepared under the new policy. The 2025 Annual Report starts by documenting complete streets projects implemented by the City over the course of the calendar year. Subsequent pages are structured around the six goals of the policy, with metrics meant to help the City assess its performance relative to those goals. Overall, the report indicates substantial progress in implementing complete streets, as well as measurable performance regarding access and safety. Looking ahead, active and planned projects for 2026 and beyond are 1 Page 67 expected to deliver significant and increasing improvements in provisions for all transportation modes. PREPARED BY Nell Donaldson Jeremiah Bartlett Director of Special Projects Transportation Systems Engineer Planning & Urban Development Department of Public Works ATTACHMENTS Attachment 1 – City of Portland Complete Streets Policy Attachment 2 - 2025 Complete Streets Annual Report 2 Page 68 Complete Streets Policy Adopted by the Portland City Council City of Portland, Maine August 25, 2025 1. Vision. The City of Portland shall develop and maintain a safe, predictable, continuous, convenient, accessible, and connected network of streets that provide for the year-round needs of all current and future users and transportation modes. 2. Goals. The goals of this policy are to: a. Ensure that pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities are able to move from destination to destination along and across a network of complete streets; b. Improve multi-modal safety outcomes in alignment with the City’s initiatives such as Vision Zero; c. Complement land use patterns to support local businesses, enhance neighborhood livability, and foster people-centered public spaces; d. Support the City’s sustainability goals, including a shift toward multi-modal transportation, as defined in One Climate Future, the City’s climate action plan; e. Provide access to and connectivity between all neighborhoods, with a focus on those that are historically underinvested and underserved; and f. Enhance public health by encouraging active transportation and improvements to air and water quality; recognizing that all streets are different and that the needs of various users will need to be balanced in a context-sensitive manner. 3. All Projects. Complete streets shall be achieved through network-level planning, network-level improvements, integration into single location projects, and incrementally, through a series of small improvements or maintenance activities. Those planning and designing projects that affect streets within the public right-of-way shall account for the needs of all street users and all modes from the very start of planning and design work. This includes all publicly- and privately-initiated street projects, including those involving new construction, reconstruction, repaving/rehabilitation, resurfacing, restriping, or street retrofit as well as private development projects subject to site plan review. Street retrofits may include changes in the allocation of the right-of-way and pavement space on an existing street, such as changes to the number and use of lanes, changes in lane widths, and/or reconfiguration or removal of on-street parking. 4. All Users and All Modes. This policy is inclusive of users of all ages and abilities, including children and older adults, and all modes including: bicyclists; pedestrians, including persons with disabilities who may use mobility devices such as wheelchairs and persons with strollers; public transportation services, vehicles, and patrons; freight and delivery providers; emergency responders; and motorists. 5. Prioritizing underinvested and underserved communities. In planning, designing, and constructing streets, and in alignment with the Capital Improvement Plan process, the City of Portland shall prioritize equitable community investments, with the goal of ensuring the equitable distribution of complete streets benefits across the city and equitable access to a network of complete streets that provide connections to important destinations. 1 Page 69 Complete Streets Policy Adopted by the Portland City Council City of Portland, Maine August 25, 2025 6. Exceptions. This policy shall not apply when a project involves a right-of-way where bicyclists and/or pedestrians are prohibited by law or when a project involves only ordinary maintenance or emergency repair activities designed to keep assets in serviceable condition, such as mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair, concrete joint repair, or pothole filling, or when interim measures are implemented on temporary detour routes. In addition, the City Manager or their designee may approve exceptions to this policy based on documented findings presented by the Director of Public Works or their designee, in consultation with other City departments, which demonstrate one or more of the following conditions: a. There is insufficient space to safely accommodate new or enhanced facilities and a parallel or nearby facility provides reasonably similar accessibility to destinations. b. The cost or right-of-way impacts of establishing new or enhanced facilities as part of a project would be excessive and disproportionate in relation to the anticipated number of users. c. Establishing new or enhanced facilities is not practically feasible or cost-effective because of significant adverse impacts to historic resources, streams, floodplains, remnants of native vegetation, wetlands, steep slopes or other critical areas; or due to impacts on neighboring land uses (including impacts from right-of-way acquisition); or d. There is a documented absence of current and future need (e.g. the street falls outside an established existing or planned transit route). Sidewalk or transit shelter requirements for a private development project may also be formally waived based upon the waiver provisions within Chapter 14 of the Code of Ordinances. 7. All Agencies and All Streets. The City of Portland shall coordinate and collaborate internally across departments, with other transportation agencies including PACTS and the MaineDOT, and with other users of the public right-of-way, such as utilities and public transportation providers, including Greater Portland METRO, to ensure that the principles and practices of complete streets are embedded within their planning, design, construction, and maintenance activities in the City of Portland. 8. Design Standards and Guidelines. The Department of Public Works and the Department of Planning & Urban Development shall incorporate complete streets best practices into street design, construction, operations, and maintenance, using resources including but not limited to the most recent versions of: the AASHTO Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets; AASHTO Guide for the Planning, Designing and Operating Pedestrian Facilities; AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities; NACTO Urban Street Design Guide; NACTO Transit Street Design Guide; NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide; MassDOT’s Separated Bike Lane Planning & Design Guide; Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices; US Access Board Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines; and Tactical Urbanism: Short Term Action for Long Term Change. Transportation projects shall include facilities and features that support and enhance complete streets, such as: a. Pavement markings and signs; b. Street and sidewalk lighting; 2 Page 70 Complete Streets Policy Adopted by the Portland City Council City of Portland, Maine August 25, 2025 c. Sidewalks and pedestrian safety improvements such as medians/pedestrian refuges, curb extensions, raised intersections, pedestrian hybrid beacons, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB), and crosswalk improvements; d. Shared streets or street closures to motor vehicle traffic; e. Improvements that provide ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant and full accessibility such as curb ramps and accessible pedestrian signals; f. Traffic calming improvements; g. Transit accommodations including bus shelters, improved pedestrian access to transit stops and centers, and where appropriate transit priority treatments such as dedicated lanes and queue jumpers; h. Bicycle detection at intersections and bicycle accommodations including curb-separated bicycle lanes, separated bicycle lanes, shared use lanes, paved shoulders, wide travel lanes, or in-street bicycle lanes; and i. Street trees, landscaping, street furniture, bicycle parking, and adequate drainage facilities, including opportunities for ‘green’ stormwater management facilities and practices. When fulfilling this complete streets policy the City shall follow the design manuals, standards, and guidelines above, as applicable, but should not be precluded from considering innovative or non- traditional design options where a comparable level of safety for users is present or provided. 9. Community Context. All projects that affect streets within the public right-of-way shall include early consideration of the existing and planned land use context, the identification of gaps or deficiencies in the transportation network for various user groups that could be addressed by the project, and an assessment of the tradeoffs to balance the needs of all users. 10. Performance Measures. The City will define performance measures to track the implementation and outcomes of this policy. Such measures may include, but not be limited to: percentage of transportation projects which implement complete streets elements; distribution of complete streets projects; safety for all street users; capacity and connectivity for all modes of transportation (e.g. miles of bicycle and pedestrian facilities); usage (such as mode share) of bicycling, walking, and transit, including for school-based trips; and attainment of ADA compliance. Such measures shall be incorporated into relevant plans, manuals, policies, processes, and programs. The Departments of Public Works and Planning & Urban Development shall work with other departments and agencies to track and report on such performance measures on an annual basis. An annual report covering the prior year will be presented to the City Council’s Sustainability and Transportation Committee (or successor committee overseeing transportation) by January 31 of each year. 11. Project selection and development. In long-range and capital planning, the City of Portland shall prioritize projects that advance this complete streets policy, including through pilot projects. 12. Implementation. The City will implement this policy by: a. Restructuring Policies and Procedures • Evaluating and revising manuals and practices to ensure that they support safe, accessible, and complete streets design. 3 Page 71 Complete Streets Policy Adopted by the Portland City Council City of Portland, Maine August 25, 2025 • Developing project checklists for the incorporation of complete streets elements into projects, plans, and other activities affecting streets and the public-right-of way, including documentation for exceptions. • Working with governmental agencies such as PACTS and the MaineDOT to ensure incorporation of the City’s complete streets policy into transportation projects under their jurisdiction. • Creating interdisciplinary project teams to review street designs for multi-modal performance. b. Providing Training • Continuing education of staff and public officials on the principles and practices of complete streets. c. Improving and Updating Performance Measures • Identifying and updating performance goals and targets. • Annually reporting on progress toward performance goals and targets as outlined in Section 10 of this policy, and biannually reporting on exceptions granted under Section 6 of this policy. 4 Page 72 2025 COMPLETE STREETS ANNUAL REPORT $10.7M In 2025, Portland modernized its complete streets policy, transforming a long-standing vision into a data-driven accountability framework.
