SUBJECT: SUSTAINABILITY ACTION PLAN UPDATE <br />DATE: AUGUST 25, 2020 PAGE 2 OF 3 <br />Document Structure <br />The SAP update is organized around seven inter -related sustainability topics: Climate, <br />Energy, Transportation, Waste, Water, Ecological Health and Local Food and <br />Agriculture. New to this version is the separation of Climate and Energy into two distinct <br />subject areas and the addition of Ecological Health. Each topic is separated into <br />progressing steps and laid out in the following manner: <br />• Goals <br />o Each topic has one associated goal that identifies the overall desired state <br />of the community. <br />Internal and External Objectives <br />o Each topic area and its corresponding goal are separated into internal and <br />external objectives. Internal objectives and strategies are related to the <br />City of Louisville's municipal operations. External objectives and strategies <br />are aimed at the entire community, both residential and <br />commercial/industrial. <br />Near Term vs Mid Term Strategies <br />o Strategies are identified actions to achieve the described goals and <br />objectives and are categorized as near team or mid term. All strategies <br />within have been vetted and prioritized (see Appendix A for additional <br />details). In this instance, near term is defined as a timeline of one to two <br />years and mid term is three to four years. At the end of four years, the <br />planning process for the next update will be in progress. <br />Two appendices were incorporated into the SAP update to provide a complete, singular <br />guiding document, including: <br />• Appendix A: Strategy Priority Matrix <br />• Appendix B: 2020 Plan Update Summary of Revisions <br />PUBLIC COMMENT: <br />Public comment was provided during the course of LSAB's development process at <br />their monthly meetings. <br />Vx0101Ly,I►Vil=1Zlo7_rIEeP►A <br />Staff recommends City Council give staff and the Board feedback on any changes <br />members would like to see before this comes back for final consideration. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />While adoption of the proposed goals does not have a financial impact, the strategies to <br />achieve the goals of the SAP do. Proposed projects and initiatives with a fiscal impact <br />will be brought forward to City Council through the annual budget process. <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />24 <br />
