Resource Conservation Advisory Board <br /> Agenda <br /> June 15, 2016 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> changes were made to encourage event participants to deposit waste in proper <br /> locations. <br /> 6:45-7:55pm: <br /> II. Rec Center Expansion Presentation: Chris Kastelic (Sink Combs Dethlefs <br /> Architecture Design Firm) presented on the current plans for the Louisville Rec <br /> Center expansion project and answered questions from the SAB members. <br /> (Presentation attached to meeting minutes). <br /> Overview of SAB member questions/architect answers: <br /> - What renewable energy sources are being incorporated into the facility? <br /> Potentially adding photovoltaic systems to facility property/buying solar from vendor, <br /> solar thermal for pool water, and geothermal heat. <br /> - What types of materials are being used for the project? Products with the least <br /> amount of environmental impact (based on longevity, chemicals used in <br /> manufacturing process, etc.) <br /> - Are mechanical systems in the Rec Center/Memory Square facilities being <br /> replaced? No. <br /> - What amount of the budget has ben allocated to sustainability/energy conservation <br /> for the project? No amount is specified. <br /> Based on the presentation, SAB members were concerned that there was no portion <br /> of the project budget devoted to sustainability/energy conservation, which would <br /> have long term implications related to costs for the city and environmental outcomes. <br /> Specific concern related to leaving the majority of the mechanical systems in place at <br /> the Rec Center and the Memory Square Pool, was also noted. These concerns were <br /> based on detailed feedback from Dave Szabados related to the current poor <br /> conditions of several of the systems (these conditions were either high maintenance <br /> demands, need to replace in the foreseeable future, or generic use of obsolete <br /> technology). <br /> III. Sustainability Plan: The summary matrix inputs were reviewed by members and <br /> clarifications on sections were made. Members will review their individual sections <br /> and have material ready for review at the July 2016 meeting. <br /> IV. Coordination with other boards and commissions for sustainability <br /> issues (Dan): Dan will draft matrix of all City board/commission meeting times and <br /> SAB members will coordinate and assign attendance on an as needed basis. <br /> 7:55 - 8:00 pm: <br /> V. Log volunteer hours: See below. <br /> VI. Items for discussion at our next meeting (July 2016) <br /> 1. Review of Sustainability Plan <br /> VII. Adjourned at 8:09PM <br />
