Louisville Sustainability Advisory Board Meeting Minutes – December 21, 2011 Page 3 of 4 <br />back into facility for improvements and grants. Annie asked if deconstruction was encouraged over <br />demolition. Andy said the City of Boulder does and Longmont also but not other cities. <br /> <br />Dave asked what action Mark would like to see Louisville take on this issue. Mark would like to see <br />an ordinance in Louisville - at least for construction materials that Western Disposal collects (currently <br />four different kinds). Mark said the county plan for a facility may not proceed – money is an issue, the <br />site is problematic. <br /> <br />Mark will draft proposed ordinance next year for Louisville. LSAB will review and comment then it <br />would be forwarded to the City. <br /> <br />IX. CU Baseline Study Update – Mary Ann <br />Mary Ann said that the program’s representative agreed to attend the January meeting and make a <br />presentation to the board/answer questions. She suggested we take advantage of that in order for <br />the entire board can to hear the same information at the same time. He had also forwarded three <br />contacts at cities which have participated in the studies. Mary Ann will contact each of them and <br />inquire about the perceived/real benefits of the data collection, the pros/cons of the study, etc. (SEE <br />X1. below) <br /> <br />X. <br />Building Code Updates - Andy <br />Andy said this was not in the plan for 2012 but discussions should start now. Annie said commercial <br />plans approved pending ADA issues are usually not followed up on and that this should also be <br />included in code changes. Mark asked if Andy got the impression that the model building code would <br />not be adopted in 2012. The code does not get enforced now and follow through in construction is <br />weak. Andy suggested using the International Conservation Code. <br /> <br />XI. Annual City Survey - All <br />Each member was supposed to bring a question pertaining to LSAB for the City to consider including <br />in the survey. Most of us were slackers and forgot BUT Ted had prepared five questions that he read: <br />1. Do you use high efficiency light bulbs in your home? <br />2. Are you aware of energy smart program and do you use it? <br />3. Have you used free mulch or soils available from the city? <br />4. Do you agree Louisville should strive to be a leader in sustainable practices? <br />5. If Louisville funds for sustainable practices rank which is most important: <br /> <br /> residential zero waste <br /> <br /> commercial zero waste <br /> <br /> green energy initiatives-commercial - residential <br /> <br /> urban agriculture <br /> <br /> alternative transportation issues <br /> <br />Andy suggested another: Would you support a city adopting a green building code? <br /> <br />The topics were discussed. It was concluded that #1 had already been addressed, #2 was publicized <br />by that program already, and #3 we had just publicized on the home tour. Ted will format a final <br />question and send it to us for review before sending to Meredith. <br /> <br />XI. 2011 Activities Review/2012 Goals <br />Due to time constraints, Andy suggested this topic be deferred until the January meeting. Mary Ann <br />suggested that the group think about some comments that Troy Russ had made to her in a meeting <br />the previous week: <br /> <br /> LSAB was not as involved in major activities/projects as they should be; e.g. the comp plan, the <br />Hwy 42 plans, the transportation plan – LSAB should be contributing to these <br />
