LCityoj Louisville City Manager's Office Memorandum To: Louisville Sustainability Advisory Board From: Katie Baum, Sustainability Specialist Date: March 20, 2019 Re: Discussion Item 10: Two Year Sustainability Plan Update Background In November 2016, City Council approved the Louisville Sustainability Action Plan, which contained goals and strategies to achieve a more sustainable community. The City's Sustainability Specialist developed a 2-year work plan to achieve these objectives after receiving input from staff and began implementing in 2018 and 2019. Such efforts include integrating sustainability with City operations and procedures and increasing community -wide outreach. Summary Of the 14 top recommended actions, four have been completed, three have been identified as ongoing, six are currently in progress and one will begin in 2019. In progress items are anticipated for completion in 2019, but due to staff turnover and potential changes in departmental workload or priorities, may extend into early 2020. Please see attached Appendix C for further details. The top recommended actions have been identified in the appropriate column. Within Appendix C, additional updates have been outlined regarding additional sustainability action items not identified as top recommended efforts. Next Steps This update is provided to guide and inform LSAB during current efforts to update the Sustainability Action Plan, set for completion in April 2020. Ongoing, in progress and items not yet started continue to be a priority for the Sustainability Specialist. An additional update is to be added to LSAB's 2019 Work Plan later in the year. There is no recommendation for action at this time. This is an informational item only.
