Presentation -- Recommendations for New Trails, by Laura Denton: OSAB and the City’s Parks & Recreation Dept are soliciting public comments and recommendations for changes and additions to the city’s network of trails. They will accept comments through the end of this year, to guide their work for 2014. Laura provided us with 8-page handouts of their open-house slide show, copies of the current trails map, and their ‘Trails Recommendations’ form that residents can submit. These materials can be found on the Parks & Recreation Dept’s webpage at the City website. Laura gave a detailed briefing on the various types of trails for different levels of usage. She invited us to review a large-size map on which she sketched our recommendations for trails access to areas without trails now, and for refinements to current trails. We can submit more detailed proposals before the end of this year. VII. Status of CU Baseline Energy-Efficiency Study: Deferred until November meeting. VIII. Public Planning, New Developments: Deferred until November meeting. IX. Energy Efficiency and Renewables: Jim B recommended that Louisville develop and adopt a Community Energy Efficiency Plan, such as that being developed in the partnership between Lafayette and Xcel, with their ‘Green the Community’ plan. He recommended we could piggy-back onto their program guide, as shown in the power-point slide show forwarded to LSAB members by nd Dave S in an Oct-2 email. Diana T mentioned her prior work for the State of Georgia, and recommended we also look at guide- lines such as that state’s program, a ‘sustainability tool kit for Georgia’.
