Louisville SustainabilityAdvisory Board Dave mentioned that the RFP for new residential waste contract is coming out to try and get better diversion, education, natural gas powered trucks, etc& Dave mentioned that the City is building a new city services building where waste will be a priority. Mary Ann discussed the following: June 10th as date to discuss with council Citizens group is small but Mary Ann is prompting expansion Mary Ann is meeting with Chicane. This group meeting will be to discuss how they work things with regard to gardens, and to get specifics on what we would present to council. Cottonwood Park may still be an option, but Mary Ann is skeptical. The Church at Cottonwood is going to be deconstructed (Dave would have a year to bring it down) but it has asbestos and uses a lot of energy. A question was brought up: Is there a better use for the building that a study can show? Executive summary was sent to Dave today Early April should see draft report and the Sustainability Board can review at next LSAB meeting Dave and David called with provider twice in the last few weeks. A lot of data were presented - residential, commercial, some indicated that we are doing well as a city, some data had bad indications, such as food, waste, etc& Mary Ann asked if we were being compared to similar cities or rules of thumb. The Board decided that we should all see the report as soon as it is recei review and strategize about next steps. Justine and Mark met after council study session to determine wh create a sustainability roadmap. Where are we as compared to the 2008 plan from the county Justine indicated that she will send out her analysis out to LSAB A question was raised about how we can be inclusive to incorporate all business and groups CTC, DBA, etc& Mark has been gathering some additional data on this discussion Jim asked if there are any other input items which should be considered. Mary Ann indicated that we should include livable cities concept Jim posed the question of what do inputs look like to create objectives? Justine posed the question of what are the problem areas, and how do we identify them? LSAB agrees to want to include all other city boards and commissions to include representation from their perspectives on input for the plan Goal of outcome is to have roadmap options (categories), buildin reason and to create a recommendation from LSAB to council about council approval. Roadmap needs to consider the council concerns (last bullets)
