Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda: <br />Laura Levesque -Catalano: reported on the Energy -Fellows program, a six -day tour of <br />Cleantech companies along the Front Range. She noted it's quite fascinating to see how <br />much work is being invested in sustainable solutions right here in our own backyard. <br />And she reported that Ft Collins' Sustainability Division has a specific branch to support <br />businesses, through their Climate Wise program. It's similar to PACE in that it's voluntary <br />engagement. Best -management practices are shared, as well as having a direct <br />representative(s) to the city. Companies get recognition for their participation. <br />And she reported that Colorado Smart Cities Alliance is an alliance of public, private and <br />academic partners. Thirteen member cities were surveyed on their toughest challenges, <br />and will be introduced to private -sector companies that may have solutions. Both the city <br />and company agree to a pilot program to test cutting -edge technologies in a real -life <br />scenario. These can be wins for the cities to tackle some of their biggest issues, and wins <br />for the companies, which needs to validate and test on a broader scale. <br />Debbie Fahey: reported that, by an executive order, Gov Hickenlooper created a <br />specific, measurable goal for carbon reduction. His objective for the State is to cut <br />greenhouse gases by 26% from 2005 levels by 2025, and to cut carbon from the <br />electricity sector by 25% from 2012 levels by 2025, and by 35% by 2030. <br />Lea Yancey: reported the County's Energy -Smart program is out of Residential rebate <br />funds for the rest of 2018; a final report on the County -wide GHG inventory is due for <br />presentation next week (will be given in Louisville at July-10th City Council session); <br />County staff now expect to achieve a reduction of 23% by 2020; the County's revised <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 />
