WORK SESSION: <br /> Triple Bottom Line Framework <br /> <br />City Manager’s Office Division Manager Keli Osborn presented an update on the City’s use of the triple <br />bottom line (TBL) framework and TBL analysis tools. She introduced Service Improvement Manager Terri <br />Monroe, Sustainability Liaison Babe O’Sullivan, Recreation Division Manager Craig Smith, Parks <br />Maintenance Manager Kevin Finney, Planner Lydia McKinney, and Library Customer Experience Manager <br />LaVena Nohrenberg. <br /> <br />Ms. Monroe provided a PowerPoint presentation on the development of the City’s TBL framework that <br />touched on what the framework was and was not, how it worked, and what staff expected from the tool in <br />the future. She emphasized that the tool was not a decision-making tool but rather a “thinking tool” that <br />helped to supplement one’s individual thought process and was designed to identify issues that otherwise <br />might not surface in discussion. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith, Mr. Finney, Ms. McKinney, Ms. Nohrenberg, and Ms. O’Sullivan offered examples of how City <br />staff had used the TBL tool. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy suggested that in the future, the State of Oregon would be looking more carefully at the true <br />costs of things, and the information provided by the TBL tool would for example help to provide accurate <br />data for the purpose of grant applications. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy solicited council questions and comments. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz thanked staff for the work it had done on the TBL framework and related tools, and suggested the <br />City had something to celebrate. She commended staff’s commitment to the TBL framework and looked <br />forward to using the tool herself. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Mr. Poling about the applicability of the TBL framework to the private <br />sector, Ms. Osborn said the “triple bottom line” has been used in the private sector under different names. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—City Council September 29, 2010 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
