Louisville Sustainability Advisory Board <br /> Meeting Minutes <br /> May 18, 2016 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br /> meet with LSAB in the fall to review specific design criteria design and discuss <br /> sustainability issues (if the bond passes). The current plan does not have many <br /> specifics. The architect's website is: http://www.sinkcombs.com/. LSAB <br /> members will visit the site to review other rec center projects that the firm has <br /> designed. Marianne suggested that we also tour a couple of LEED Gold rec <br /> centers to see what is possible. Dan pointed out that design decisions would <br /> be made rapidly so we need to be kept in the loop with updates. Marianne said <br /> a liaison with the Rec Center project would be beneficial. Mary Ann will email <br /> council and ask how LSAB could be involved in reviewing plans: e.g. be <br /> appointed to the study group, be provided with plans as they are updated, etc. <br /> • Chris Leh asked about the location for a second community garden. <br /> • Chris Leh asked Dave if there was low handing fruit left to address. <br /> • Susan Loo pointed out a few issues she had with the Sustainability Plan. Dan <br /> said that Susan's comments indicated a concern with how businesses could <br /> comply with the Plan. A discussion regarding how to justify the Plan to <br /> businesses was held. <br /> Dan suggested that board meetings each take a few outside boards to meet with every <br /> three months to track sustainability crossover. The issue will be discussed next <br /> month. <br /> III. Green Business Awards Program <br /> Notice of the program is posted on the City's website. Two PACE employees will <br /> begin contacting businesses in Louisville to inform them of the program and ask them <br /> to participate. Businesses that have already made efforts to be green will likely be <br /> recognized without having to feel like they need to do more. PACE will work to collect <br /> information and assist businesses that want to participate during June, July, and <br /> August. <br /> In the fall, PACE will take the information collected from all contacts and determine <br /> whether companies should receive gold, silver, or bronze awards. An awards dinner <br /> will be at the rec center around Thanksgiving. The award itself will be two PACE <br /> Green Business decals for posting on windows or doors. <br /> IV. Community Garden Update <br /> Mary Ann said that currently there were approximately 50 participants. There are <br /> about 8 plots left. A notice has been placed on the city website and, hopefully, in the <br /> quarterly newsletter publicizing the open plots. A tour of the water system is <br /> tomorrow. A gardener's meeting will be held next Saturday to discuss startup issues: <br /> how to store and share tools in the shed, whether to buy or share hoses, etc. The <br /> contract with DUG is presumed to be final. The Grand Opening will be June 23rd and <br /> include music and food but no vegetables. <br /> City of Louisville <br /> Public Works Department 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br /> 303.335.4608 (phone) 303.335.4550 (fax) www.louisvilleco.gov <br />
