Sustainability Roadmap Updates • Resources - Mark said that he had incorporated the changes suggested at last months meeting. • Energy - Jim said that he and David met with an employee of an energy - consulting firm who lives in Louisville who agreed to participate in their committee. "They talked about some stuff." Jim said he thought it would be interesting to know what portion of Excel's energy reduction was contributed to Louisville. David said that considering cost, benefits, and public opinion would lead them to a goal of getting businesses and citizens behind the effort. • Localization - Justine reviewed the roadmap summary she forwarded and was attached to the agenda. Her group had established objective and scope of the topic. She read the definition of localization they had created as well as the definition of objective. They are developing goals that take programs further than what currently exists; e.g. waste, recycling. Making the objective broader was discussed. Looking for opportunities to reinforce these principles in code, zoning, etc. was mentioned. Justine said it was difficult determining how to avoid confusing people with the overlapping topic areas; e.g. localization of energy, transportation.
