Sustainable Broomfield Community Task Force

DRAFT Minutes Meeting #13

 May 20, 2010

Meeting Summary

 

This was the thirteenth and final meeting of the Task Force.  As a wrap up to the sustainability process, the Task Force ranked (prioritized) the Action Steps according to three criteria: Balancing Benefits with Costs, Ease of Implementation, and Importance to the community. The group weighted the criteria 45%, 15%, 40% respectively. The Task Force also gave a value of 1-3 for each of the criteria and action steps. From the weighted scores, staff can see what actions steps are “low hanging fruits” and may be the easiest to tackle first. The Implementation Strategy will be an appendix to the Sustainability Plan and will be used as a guide for City and County of Broomfield staff. The Sustainability Plan will be presented to the City Council in a study session on June 29th.

Agenda Minutes:

6:40 – Welcome/Agenda Review

 6:45 – Approval of the Minutes

 6:50 – This Task Force meeting was spent reviewing and prioritizing the action steps in the draft Sustainability Plan. The first step in prioritization was to weight the criteria that were being scored. The Task Force looked at three criteria, balancing benefits with costs, ease of implementation, and importance to the community, when prioritizing the action steps. After some discussion, the Task Force weighted the criteria as follows: Balancing benefits with costs at 45%, ease of implementation at 15%, and importance at 40%.

 7:00 – For the remainder of the meeting, the Task Force reviewed and scored each action step in the Sustainability plan. These rankings were entered into the computerized matrix to calculate an immediate weighted score. Previous to the meeting, staff gave a first draft guess at these rankings to provide a starting point for discussion with the Task Force. Where the Task Force felt necessary, rankings were changed to better suit the opinions and perspectives of the group.

 As this meeting was the last Task Force meeting, the implementation rankings will be entered in with the revisions from the meeting and will be sent out via email to the Task Force for one last review. The Sustainability Plan will be presented at the June 29th Council Study Session and will be considered for approval in August.
