The meeting was called to order.

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.

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.

AGENDA ITEM
Agenda Item #2A– Sustainability Updates

PURPOSE
To update the committee regarding recent activities of the Sustainability Office to
advance Council goals and objectives related to One Climate Future

COMMITTEE WORK PLAN/CITY COUNCIL GOAL ALIGNMENT
These projects implement elements of the One Climate Future Plan or other Council
goals.

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.

 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.

AGENDA ITEM
Agenda Item #2B - Portland International Jetport Informational Infrastructure Improvement
Project Updates

PURPOSE
Provide the Sustainability & Transportation Committee with an informational update on
operations and the status of projects under planning and in construction at the Portland
International Jetport.

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.

 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.

AGENDA ITEM
Agenda Item #3A

PURPOSE
To determine whether to recommend that Mayor Dion sign the National Wildlife
Foundation’s Mayors’ Monarch Pledge.

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.

 Mayors’ Monarch Pledge
The monarch butterfly is an iconic North American species whose multigenerational
migration and metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly has captured the
imagination of millions of Americans.

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

AGENDA ITEM
3B

PURPOSE
To consider increasing the maximum fee licensed tow operators may charge.

COMMITTEE WORK PLAN/CITY COUNCIL GOAL ALIGNMENT
This item is not included in the Committee’s 2026 workplan.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The regulation of licensing tow operators is governed by Chapter 28 Traffic and Motor Vehicles of
the Portland City Code, specifically Article IV Licensing of Tower Operators. The rates established
in ordinance were last updated in 2022.

 Article IV. 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.

 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

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.

 Landcare Ordinance Annual Summary Report

This sixth annual report is submitted in accordance with the Chapter 34 of City Code: Landcare. 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.

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.

It is important to note that we do not know how many pest management and landscaping companies
operate in Portland so we do not know how many firms are required to submit reports.

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.

Education and Outreach Efforts in 2025
 ●​ Sustainability Office staff organized three webinars this summer, as part of our Landcare
 Lunchbreak series. 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.

 the city! Many of these projects are rooted in sustainable landcare projects:
 ○​ Parkside Native Pollinator Planting Project: Aims to convert three esplanades “hell

 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 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.

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

expected to deliver significant and increasing improvements in provisions for all
transportation modes.

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.

 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.
