Post to social media (Marianne to oh -oh group). 11. Sustainability Plan Review (all) • Point of review is make sure that each action item is understood, identify which are not clear and or cannot be defended. • Energy: nothing irrelevant or low scoring. Lots of high impact actions. Big need is baseline data. Lea will look at current programs and impact that those will make based on 5 years of available data. • Dan: Water: and in other sections, need to change dates to 3 years from adoption, not year 2016. Some did not make sense: permeable pavement. Needs more info for this climate. i.e., storm water runoff standards. Move pavement to transport section. Track on to county recommendations. • How much emphasis on additional numeric goals? Discussion re staff needs or consultant study to conduct additional analysis. If including hard numeric goals, recommendation to reassess in 2 years. • Marianne: Was the recent discussion re community green spaces in new developments incorporated as an action item. No. Mayor Muckle stated that this is a requirement in new developments already. • Mark: Waste: ranked each item. Recent Discussion with Councilor Loo re impact or adverse impact of mandatory fees or bans (i.e. Boulder case study). • Skipped review of sections- trans and local food&ag. MaryAnn and Justine to provide any changes to Jamie. • Changes due to Jamie by August 1.
