In addition, two new members have been selected by the Council, namely: David Hsu and Justine Vigial- Tapia. Their resumes and applications were available on the Louisville website (and may still be there). Mark pointed out that there will be a need to do orientation and administrative at near future LSAB meetings. VI. Follow -up on Urban Gardens & New Planning Developments (Mary Ann) There were continued discussions on the gardens. There was discussion about how to best administrate and fund the gardens. There appears to be some grant money available through Great Outdoors Colorado. We may elect to go for one of their grants or other funding source. Claudia had done some work investigating opportunities. It is envisioned that the gardens would be 'community gardens' that are run by Louisville Citizens, as opposed to some third party organization. VII. Status of CU Baseline Energy- Efficiency Study (Dave): Dave S gave LSAB a briefing on the CU Baseline Study. • The study is not yet complete, and we are a little concerned about a vague and perhaps slipping due date. Dave will continue to interface and encourage CU / University of Wisconsin to complete and deliver the report. • The leader of the organization providing the study is named Anu, and she has been getting decent traction with her offering. She is 'taking it (their study product) world- wide' which is great. • Anu had offered to come to Louisville to help deliver the final report and an accompanying presentation. LSAB would like to encourage her to come! • The study performers have asked Dave S. for a lot of information and data, and he has worked diligently and has delivered the requested data Public Works Department 303.335.4608 (phone) City of Louisville 749 Main Street 303.335.4550 (fax) Louisville CO 80027 www.louisvilleco.gov
