Approval of Current - Meeting's Agenda: Approved as -is. IV. Approval of October 21, 2015 Meeting Minutes: The minutes from the October 21, 2015 were approved. V. Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda: Malcolm attended the meeting to discuss the LSAB Sustainability survey. There was a concern presented by one of the City Councilmembers as to the process for the distribution of the Sustainability Roadmap Survey. There was discussion concerning the same and a determination was made that the questions presented in survey were not questions but statements. These were the same statements already presented to the public in open workshop meetings earlier in the month and sent to the Chamber of Commerce to be able to receive input on the sustainability roadmap from businesses. It was also determined that there is no process of approval by the City in connection with surveys and how they are presented to the public. The change was made to label the survey the Sustainability Advisory Board Survey so as to not make it appear to the public that this is a City of Louisville controlled survey, which it is not. Results of the survey will be discussed at the January LSAB meeting. Mark Persichetti met with Shelly Angel (executive director of the Louisville Chamber of Commerce) as well as Lea Yancey (City of Boulder Community Sustainability and Energy Specialist) regarding the PACE Program. Mark believes Louisville should provide a green business award program, similar to Lafayette. Lea Yancey and a member from PACE asked to be on the agenda for the January meeting to provide further information and insight about the program. Mary Ann, in her role as LSAB's city council liaison, said she is going to provide a quarterly update to the City Council as to the activities of LSAB. VI. Jay's Minute: Not in attendance. VII. Dave's Minute: Dave and Mary Ann attended the meeting for vacant positions available on the various City boards. This gave the community a chance to come and learn more about the responsibilities and actions of each board before making an application. Mary Ann suggested LSAB members review applications on the city website and provide feedback on the applicants they feel would fit well into the current LSAB board.
