Louisville Sustainability Advisory Board Meeting Minutes June 20, 2018 Page 3 of 4 Channing Evans from Xcel Energy then provided us with an introduction to Xcel's proposed `Energy -Futures' program. Details of how the program will be defined and implemented have not yet been finalized. It's intended to support us achieving our own local renewable -energy goals. A MOU between Xcel and the City will begin the process. Susan Loo then provided us with info about what has developed between Xcel and the City to -date. She and Ashley Stolzmann have already met with Craig Eicher from Xcel to discuss this program. The May-8th City -Council meeting covered this topic: http://www.louisvilleco.gov/Home/ShowDocument?id=18700 As noted in its Council Communication summary, "The process for drafting the MOU begins by establishing mutual values, vision and guiding principles, which can be based on the goals and strategies identified in the SAP and the values listed in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, staff will work with Xcel to create a work plan with potential short and long-term focus areas. These areas can incorporate the top recommended actions for 2018/2019, as well as other strategies included in the 2-Year Work Plan." The packet for that Council session also has info on a potential MOU (samples, pp 60-88). II.
