Louisville Sustainability Advisory Board Meeting Minutes March 18, 2015 Page 2 of 3 City of Louisville Public Works Department 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 303.335.4608 (phone) 303.335.4550 (fax) www.louisvilleco.gov David: Question to Jay about the fiscal timing to hire a sustainability coordinator. It’d be hard to find that in the city budget at this point might be able to formalize it for a grant for the following year. Note: Up to Kurt to decide if this position is needed, then to Malcolm to provide position. Propose it as a line item in operational budget. Get a timeline. IX. Non-Rotating LSAB Chair Suggestion of a Liaison (Mary Ann volunteered) for city council rather than rotating chair. Currently, Dave is listed on website. The Board agreed to submit Mary Ann as acting liaison for this calendar year. X. Sustainability Roadmap Sections Next LSAB meeting will be dedicated to review of the Roadmap as a group. [Prepare for a long meeting] Section groups should do an initial review before meeting. GOALS: Find items that overlap or need more clarity. Add justifications or economic benefit to each line item. Add a “preamble”. Add city comparisons (other than Boulder), Golden was a suggestion. Mary Ann will ask Meredith for some city comparisons regarding budget and size etc. XI. Boulder County Grant Updates Due to some miscommunication with the city’s application we tabled our request. Boulder County has a community outreach program grant for recycling: Dave put in an application along with Ecocycle for Louisville. This would include a study/survey to determine why residents use large trash containers versus smaller trash and large recycling containers. Dave will send out survey for feedback by next month. XII. Community Gardens Mary Ann: Put in touch with Friends of the Arboretum to use their 501(c)(3) for accounting to act as our fiscal agent. Claudia is going to draw up an agreement between the groups. Planning commission – suggested we send up a meeting with Parks and Rec, Planning Dept and City Manager and Public Works. From meeting: the church property is off limits for many years because there’s not master plan and PUD, so stick with original properties. Wetlands permit approved for area near Lincoln. Now we need a new plan for the planning department to respond to SRU comments. Then it can be submitted to commissions and council. Hopefully start construction in September.
