This is a kickoff to the Green Business Program. vii. Bike to Work Day: Approximately 150 people stopped by the Louisville stop. II. Sustainability Series: Survey results and content/speakers for talks: • Top four topics were: Waste Diversion, Local Food & Agricultural, Energy & Renewables & Alternative Transportation. • Water was #4, but Katie decided that this issue wasn't as interesting due to the development of the Transportation Master Plan, thus Transportation was added in place of Water. • Items to consider: Timing, Audience, Format, Partners (internal & external) and Location. III. Solar PPA performance updates • Dave has reviewed data from beginning of year to May. Approximately 1/3 of the electricity for city consumption is supplied by solar. The City has an agreement to purchase 1000 KW, but only 400 KW is currently being applied to the city by Community Solar. Katie and Dave are looking into where the 600 KW is accounted for. IV. Transportation Master Plan • See notes from Katie's Minute.
