Ms. Piercy stated that the Sustainability Commission’s suggestions had been particularly helpful with respect to <br />how STP-U funds would be applied in Eugene. Ms Piercy further stated that she looked forward to seeing how <br />the commission’s input would influence sustainability discussions for the City Council and other agencies. <br />Ms. Medary suggested that the Sustainability Commission and City staff would continue to investigate ways in <br />which the triple bottom line assessment tools and sustainability considerations could be incorporated into as <br />many City areas and decisions as possible. <br />Ms. Medary noted that staff would try to find ways for the Sustainability Commission to provide more regular <br />updates to the council. <br />Mr. Zelenka responded to Ms. Medary’s comment and noted that the council’s meeting on May 10 would <br />involve initial discussions on the nexus between land use and transportation planning issues. <br />Ms. Piercy, responding to a question from Mr. Skov, noted that the Sustainability Commission members were <br />encouraged to attend the council’s May 10 meeting. <br />Ms. Piercy suggested that someone with expertise in sustainability areas might make an effective replacement <br />for Mr. Finney as the City’s Interim Sustainability Manager. <br />Ms. Piercy thanked Mr. Skov for his presentation. <br />C.
