Sustainability Advisory Board Agenda <br />April 20, 2022 <br />Matt was open to the idea. Tiffany suggested to add a question about <br />fleet electrification. <br />ii. Transportation (Tiffany and Dan) — Tiffany shared the idea about a <br />parade entry and decarbonization fair at Community Park that would <br />include fleet and charging station information. The Eco-warriors group <br />would be included as well. Emily noted that the City hosts Labor Day <br />and the Chamber hosts Taste of Louisville. There was a discussion <br />about the Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC) and the potential to <br />activate grant funds for electrifying fleet vehicles. They have many <br />programs, such as the Charge Ahead grant money for charging <br />stations. Tiffany mentioned that Commuting Solutions helped start the <br />e-scooter program in Boulder. It was noted that Boulder Valley School <br />District (BVSD) is adding six electric buses. Tiffany would like to put a <br />planning committee together to work on the parade and Eco-tober <br />event planning. <br />iii. Residential (Todd and Josh) — Todd explained that the Mow Down <br />Pollution event will be on May 14, which is a collaboration with <br />Superior and Lafayette. Home Depot is also running an electric <br />equipment sale that weekend. Lowe's and ACE are participating in the <br />Mow Down voucher program and the 3 cities funded vouchers for <br />residents in each township. Vouchers are $150/mower and $50/blower. <br />No sign up is required to drop mower. Todd noted that lawn equipment <br />is 1/3 of ozone pollution on the Front Range. He mentioned we should <br />obtain promotional data from RAQC to show at the event. The model <br />with the 3 cities is working well — it's easy to expand events and invite <br />cities in the region to participate. Todd suggested starting a <br />commercial electric landscaper pilot and analyzing the data. He <br />wondered if the City could buy equipment and allow companies to try <br />it? The City could use the equipment when it's not being borrowed. <br />Josh explained that LSAB is planning to attend The Farmer's Market <br />events this summer to provide info about Xcel rebates, audits, <br />efficiency programs, etc. and hand out reusable bags. LSAB could also <br />promote sub -committee participation at this event. <br />3 <br />
