CityojL <br />Louisville <br />City Manager's Office <br />Memorandum <br />To: Louisville Sustainability Advisory Board <br />From: Hannah Miller, Sustainability Manager <br />Logan Johnson, Sustainability Specialist <br />Date: February 19, 2025 <br />Re: Staff Updates <br />Projects and Programs <br />Annual Metrics <br />• For annual metrics, refer to the November 2024 LSAB packet. <br />Federal Administration Impacts <br />• At this time, there are no federal impacts to grants awarded to the Division. <br />• There is a level of uncertainty surrounding the EPA awarded grant to DRCOG. However, this is an <br />executed and legally binding contract. <br />• The Division and other city staff are prepared for increased costs related to implementing the <br />Internal Decarb Plan. These will include HVAC equipment, EV charging stations, solar panels, etc. <br />Circular Economy/Waste Diversion <br />• Hard -to -Recycle Voucher Program, in partnership with Eco-Cycle, is set to launch in April. This <br />program will replace the annual Spring Cleaning event. <br />o These vouchers will be open year-round for residents <br />• Sustainability Division will be spearheading and supporting a Hard to Recycle event for Parco <br />Dello Zingaro Mobile Home Community. This historically disproportionately impacted and <br />underserved community has not had access to hard to recycle resources in the past or like <br />resources have been harder to access. Because it has been more difficult for this community to <br />access these resources, the City is holding this event to offer these services to residents of this <br />neighborhood. Boulder County partners, EcoCycle, and other community partners are working <br />with Sustainability and Louisville staff to put on this event, which will be held on April 5, 2025. <br />This is a bag tax -funded initiative. <br />Energy <br />• In January, City Council approved revisions to the 2021 Energy Code via Ordinance 24-1876.
