The City of Bainbridge Island had their 3rd Race Equity Task Force meeting and it was a doozy. The good news is that was progress in the form of a work plan that was proposed by the Councilmember liaisons, Matt Tirman and Rasham Nassar. Joe Deets was not there due to his pending ethics complaint. Sal gives the full recap.
What does it mean for Bainbridge Island to reach 100% clean energy by 2040? What work is being performed in practice and in policy to help us reach this lofty goal? Find out April 20! In this podcast, host Jo Jenkins visits with engineer Randal Samstag, architect Jason Wilkinson, and city council member Joe Deets to preview the upcoming Climate and Energy Forum on April 20, at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church from 10am to noon. We discuss the complexities of power generation and electricity use and how these topics relate to the island’s resiliency and local economy. With a slightly longer 2 hour format, the April forum aims to generate and examine local solutions through community engagement. The April Forum features each of our guests, who will expand on this discussion by introducing innovative approaches to electricity generation, alternative clean sources of energy and how green buildings play a big part in an integrated solution. The Forum’s subject matter experts will present updates on the activities of the city’s climate change advisory committee and the city’s design policy improvements incorporating ideas from the Living Building Challenge.

The City is seeking seven volunteers to serve on the Task Force, which will meet once a month at City Hall. The day and time of the meetings will be decided at a future date.

Joe's first career was a brokerage firm in Seattle, followed by years overseas working for the Securities and Futures Commission (the financial market regulator for the Hong Kong Government). There, he protected small investors and helped recover lost assets resulting from the Asian financial crisis of 1997. When he returned to US and settled on Bainbridge Island (his home since 2000), his passion for the natural environment and climate change led him to co-found nonprofit Community Energy Solutions. He worked with then Senator Phil Rockefeller, passing innovative community solar legislation, Senate Bill 6658. Thousands of Washingtonians went solar as a result, and more than 60 community solar projects across the State are creating clean power, jobs, and needed local infrastructure. Bainbridge Island City Hall's 72-kilowatt photovoltaic system is a project he led. Financed entirely by 24 Island families, the City receives a constant revenue stream from the electricity generated. Deets also led or participated in a solar program for low-income housing (which continues to benefit Habitat for Humanity of Kitsap County), and a community-wide residential energy efficiency program for Bainbridge Island funded by the US Department of Energy. He is currently a consultant for Sunergy Systems in Seattle, and speaks to state policymakers, tech graduate students, various organizations & environmental groups. Joe has a B.S. in Business Administration with special focus in Finance from Univ of Montana, a MBA from Seattle University, and a MA in Environment and Community from Antioch University Seattle (Thesis: Adapting to a New Energy Paradigm: Evaluating Behavior-Based Strategies for Increasing Renewable Energy Adoption at the Community Level) . He is Ethics Board Chair for the City of Bainbridge Island, and volunteers for Bainbridge Island School District, Habitat for Humanity, and Hospice of Kitsap County.
