Louisville Sustainability Advisory Board <br />Meeting Minutes <br />August 20, 2014 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />JVT will begin incorporating /merging items from our three sections into an overall outline. <br />How to go from 'tactical' to 'strategic' level? Energy usage: what does the community want? Set <br />goals. (JB) KK noted our city council is not in favor of compulsory items. <br />Tactical approach: submit battery of questions. Goals can be Xcel's current published goals; get <br />residents to participate in their programs. .75% annual savings is standard nation -wide goal. (JB) <br />JB's Energy- Efficiency worksheet has 'non- stretch' & 'stretch' goals. <br />Will goals be presented as 'personal' or 'town'-level? (LC) <br />LC noted Xcel did an audit for the Shanahan Ridge subdivision in southwest Boulder, provided per - <br />household info to residents, to allow performance comparisons. <br />Will we include justifications for measures? Along with our goals, we should list economic <br />advantages /justifications. (DH) <br />We should note that sustainable practices create jobs, and can out - perform other indicators. Present <br />info in "triple bottom line" terms ( "social, environmental, & financial'; or "people, planet, & profit" — the <br />"three pillars of sustainability'). (JB) <br />Refer to examples /recommendations in our Comp Plan. (MAH) <br />Refer to items listed in our City Council's 2015 Goals & Objectives list. Look for examples of greater <br />energy efficiencies for different city properties, eg, golf course, greater water savings. (JVT) <br />It was agreed that team -pairs of LSAB members will contact various city boards and community <br />groups to solicit their comments and input to develop a sustainable - practices plan. Contact <br />assignments were recommended based on the emphasis of each team's study area. Teams will <br />report on their progress at upcoming meetings. <br />VIII.
