Sustainability Advisory Board Agenda July 20, 2022 Comment #2 • Tomorrow, 1-5pm is City Council's budget retreat. • Are there pressing items the sustainability board would like the council to address for the coming 2 years? • There will be a public comment section at the beginning, but no discussion throughout the meeting. • Response: Retreat is mainly focused on capital improvement requests. Funds have been submitted for electrification + fleet requests, parks requests, and facilities upgrades. • Response: In our comprehensive plan, City of Boulder has a community values matrix that they run capital improvements through. A way to think about which plans need to be prioritized. This would be a neat thing to start thinking about regionally. NIMBY is common, so values are an important lens when looking at capital improvement projects. o Critical we at least keep up with surrounding communities. • Bag tax for restaurants: o Restaurants' software providers don't have a way for them to charge for the tax. How can we improve their software or give them another option for charging? o Conversations with sales tax are occurring, so we can add this to the agenda. 6. Energy Code Update • Phase 2 of the Energy Code project. o This phase looks at new commercial construction building code updates. o Consultants have been conducting energy modeling and we've been looking at potential policy considerations. Meeting Outcomes • Collect LSAB feedback on policy considerations. No final vote or consensus, just looking for general discussion. • Building Code Board of Appeals will hear this presentation tomorrow night (7/21). • Using all of this feedback, we will draft an ordinance that will outline on of these policies, this will go to council for feedback/direction, then the ordinance will come back to LSAB for approval.
