Approval of Current Meeting's Agenda - approved <br />c. Approval of June 21st, 2017 Meeting Minutes - approved <br />d. Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda <br />Mr. Grinsbergs commented on several sustainability related issues: He said he loves to <br />see goats used instead of chemicals to control weeds but they should be used longer and <br />in more locations to eliminate the use of gratuitous chemicals. He also said that the LED <br />street lights are crazy bright and produce extreme glare that makes it difficult to ride a bike <br />under and even when passing under in a car; the lighting needs better implementation. <br />He has seen Roundup sprayed around Steinbaugh Pavilion by the City when kids are <br />playing nearby and there were no flags or warning signs. He would like to see more <br />Public drinking water fountains so people can fill their sustainable water bottles or drink <br />from them eliminating the need to buy bottle water at events. (For example, there are so <br />many disposable plastic water bottles in trash Cleo Mudrock Park.) The fountain at John <br />Breaux Park doesn't work and has not for a long time. Boulder parks use a fountain that <br />is frost fee so it can be left on all winter. The Arboretum was to be xeriscaped but now has <br />grass instead - which requires a very high water usage. Dave indicated that he would <br />follow up on the drinking fountain issues. <br />Boulder County update by Lea Yancy: <br />Discounts on elect bikes are currently available through the county. <br />Energy Smart has launched an IQ Program for low to medium income folks to assist with <br />purchasing and leasing solar. If people don't qualify by income they would receive a $500 <br />rebate. <br />Public Works Department <br />303.335.4608 (phone) <br />City of Louisville <br />749 Main Street <br />303.335.4550 (fax) <br />Louisville CO 80027 <br />www.louisvilleco.gov <br />
