VII. Urban Gardens Update: Mary Ann reported that she is making progress collecting signatures, and that she had someone volunteer to help set up a web site to coordinate the program.Mark stated that he thought city staff would prefer locations with an existing water supply. Andy noted that the topic of Urban Gardens had come up repeatedly during the Comp Plan Charette. VIII.Energy Grants: Andy felt that while the identified programs might provide opportunities for grant money to help with sustainability efforts, there is no specific program/project that is ripe for submitting an application to these programs today, so we should keep tabs on the programs and look for a timely opportunity. Some possible uses of grant money include supporting the community gardens initiative or paying for staff time to work on green building codes. th : IX.Items for Next meeting )Members should come prepared with drafts of the comp (Sept 19 plan sections.(Energy(Andy), Water/Sewer(Mary Ann), Transportation(Cullen suggested but not present), Community Form/Urban Design(Andy with input from Mary Ann on Urban Gardens), and Parks/Open Space/Trails(unassigned).Also discuss items raised by City Council for LSAB input, including Backyard Chickens and Urban Agriculture White Paper.
