Louisville Sustainability Advisory Board Minutes July 19, 2017 Page 2 of 5 Lea asked if there were any neighborhoods in Louisville that could be classified as the "greenest" that she could mention in an article on this subject in Boulder County. She is working with Erika closely and offering assistance wherever needed. e. Jay's Minute - Louisville issued a contract for Mayhoffer property - anticipated to close soon. Will be jointly owned with Lafayette and the County. Boulder County will manage the land. Council passed a climate resolution 2 weeks ago. f. Dave's Minute - Erika and Dave are working on transfer of information about sustainability issues and programs. The Rec Center is his current focus - he is currently reviewing design drawings. g. Erika's Minute - Erika reported that the governor signed the US Climate Alliance - Colorado is one of 11 states that signed. Boulder County is working a GHG inventory for Louisville. She is also working with Partners in Energy and working to improve the sustainability information on the city website. Partners in Energy has provided a Brochure to hand out in school packets. She is trying to step up community outreach for these issues. There is a survey on the Engage Louisville page asking for input on sustainability - to see what citizens are interested in and she is setting up topical meetings at the library to gain more feedback from citizens (she will send the schedule/topics list to us for review). Erika would like to have local topic experts at the meetings if possible; the county will also find experts. (For instance, we can utilize Western Disposal to speak on waste issues.) Green Business recognition program by PACE has updated their application. Pace will also conduct staff training if we would like. Working on a green purchase policy. Talked to city Department heads (except 2) about it and received positive feedback - but a guideline is preferred instead of a policy. 6 EV stations in Louisville - only 1 is city owned. Making a grant application for a second one at the rec center. Police chief wants EVs in his fleet. She has taken our matrix for Sustainability Action Plan and added columns such as Stakeholders, Budgeting/Funding, Grants Available, Execution Time, Ongoing Program, etc. The higher the score, the more likely that item will be completed in 2 years. She also added a column on whether or not an item effect GHG emissions. Erika will complete her matrix by August 2nd and provide a review period for us. Marianne asked if Erika had reviewed our priorities that were identified in a past version of the matrix we generated. It was decided to include the Sustainability Plan Matrix on each of our agendas. Our Council Sustainability study session is now scheduled for November 14tH Mark added two topics: He said the Partners in Energy (PIE) Group would like input from LSAB through increased participation in the conference calls. He asked if a better day/time would increase participation. Board members said noontime might be better. Mark also said that that he would not be helping with street faire waste the next couple of weeks and asked if others could provide assistance. If interested, get hold of Jennie at the Faire.
