City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />October 10, 2023 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />Jojo Follmar, Louisville, urged the Council to approve the plan as a major step toward <br />impacting climate change and taking positive action. <br />Tess Weltzin, Lafayette, urged approval of the plan to help future generations. It is a <br />cost effective way to make real change. <br />Mayor Pro Tern Fahey asked if the replacement of systems and equipment would <br />happen immediately or at the end of life. Betzold stated the plan would replace <br />equipment at end of life. The five buildings that were chosen for first action all have the <br />equipment that is already on schedule to be replaced as it is at end of life. <br />Mayor Pro Tern Fahey asked when electric options for heavy equipment might be <br />available. Director Kowar stated it would likely be at least five years. <br />Councilmember Dickinson stated this plan aligns with our budget and work plan and will <br />focus us on what is attainable in the near term while planning for the mid and long range <br />items. He likes that we are leading by example. <br />Councilmember Hoefner stated this is a good view of what the financing will be and how <br />it can be a manageable expense for us to work this into our budget. He appreciates the <br />details and how it makes this a doable project. He likes that the utility savings is <br />guaranteed through the financing mechanism. <br />Councilmember Leh noted this is an important project for many of us. He asked if <br />Federal and State funding will continue and be available in later years. Betzold stated <br />staff is applying for money now as it is available but there is no guarantee it will <br />continue. <br />Mayor Maloney stated the funds available now through grants are too good to pass up. <br />This is an opportunity we need to take advantage of. He supports option 3. This is a <br />great road map for staff and council to follow and the outcomes will be very positive. <br />Councilmember Hamlington stated breaking down the plan into bite size pieces makes <br />this easy to understand and adopt. <br />MOTION: Councilmember Leh moved to approve the resolution, Councilmember <br />Hoefner seconded the motion. <br />Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call. <br />EXECUTIVE SESSION <br />CITY MANAGER ANNUAL EVALUATION <br />Louisville Code of Ethics, Section 5-2(b), CRS 24-6-402(4)(f) — Authorized Topics <br />
