1.       Minutes:  Task Force Meeting Minutes of April 14, 2010 were approved as written.

3.      Policy Development: The Task Force reviewed and commented on the report in progress comparing the California Green Building Code (CalGreen) with LEED BD+C 2009.  CalGreen becomes effective on Jan. 1, 2011.  DBI and SFE are now considering how CalGreen will be adopted in light of existing local green building requirements—both Chapter 13C of the Building Code (private sector) and Chapter 7 of the Environment Code (municipal).  Subsequent iterations of the comparison report will be focused on residential green building codes.  Cyndy Scully of DPH has submitted proposed language for the IEQ section of the Chapter 7 amendment that will be reviewed at the next meeting.
