CITY OF BOULDER, COLORADO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS MEETING SUMMARY NAME OF BOARD /COMMISSION: Environmental Advisory Board DATE OF MEETING: November 5, 2014 NAME /TELEPHONE OF PERSON PREPARING SUMMARY: Juliet Bonnell, 303-441-1931 NAMES OF MEMBERS, STAFF AND INVITED GUESTS PRESENT: Environmental Advisory Board Members Present: Stephen Morgan, Tim Hillman and Brad Queen. Environmental Advisory Board Members Absent: Mara Abbott and Morgan Lommele Staff Members Present: Brett KenCairn, Eric Ameigh, Lisa Martin, Chris Meschuk and Juliet Bonnell MEETING SUMMARY: • The board generally supported the proposed smoking ban and noted that it should be adequately advertised to the public. The board asked questions regarding the motivation for this ban, why it is being phased in, whether it is more of a human rights issue than an environmental issue, and whether there are adequate resources to enforce the proposed ban. • The board was impressed with staff s response to the flood and the preparation that went into flood mitigation planning prior to the Sept 2013 flood event. The board supported working toward a recovery and resilience plan and continuing to learn from the experience of other communities impacted by disasters. • B. Queen stated that the city's trails should not have remained closed for as long as they dick because parks are such an integral part of Boulder's lifestyle. • The board disagreed with the current framing of the climate commitment. Board members questioned whether the conventional framing of a target percentage reduction, based on .a somewhat arbitrary reference year, by a far distant date in the future created an effective rationale and motivation to rally community support and action. Instead they thought it should be framed as a set of actions designed to maximize the communities competitive advantage in a global economy. The board recommended that the rationale for action emphasize that the community should be taking action regardless of whether it impacts global climate change because the community would be more economically competitive, more resilient and would have a higher quality of life locally. • B. Queen advocated for a model that is both environmental and economic (coupling fuel choice with energy technology) and offered to help evaluate the city's model. • The board suggested ensuring the community understands why we're working toward reducing emissions by 80% by 2050 and what the consequences are if we don't reach this goal. • The board agreed that the economic development benefits of going fossil free should be emphasized to the public and that economic metrics such as the amount of energy expenditures retained in the local economy should be reported along with the greenhouse gas inventory update. • The board discussed requiring EnergySmart at the time of sale for owner - occupied buildings (in addition to the current regulations for tenant - occupied) to engage a broader part of our community in this important effort. 1.

MATTERS FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY BOARD, CITY MANAGER, AND CITY ATTORNEY 8. 9. Er Al at 8:30 p.m. Chair Date Revised Retreat Questions for Boards and Commissions for 2015 • What are your top priorities within the framework of the council work plan adopted at the last city council retreat? • What would you like to see done that would further advance the Council Goals? • How can your board specifically help reach the council goals? • Are there city policies that need to be addressed that would enable your board to function at a higher level? • Are there other items that council should address in the coming year? • Are there other priorities outside of the Council Goals that your Board /Commission would like to address in the coming year?
