perspectives from our community, however there was an effort made to ensure that the group of participants brought a mix of environmental, social, and economic awareness or expertise. Output As we began holding dedicated TBL discussions as another way to apply the TBL to Envision Eugene, we aimed to produce a summarized list of trade-offs, highlighting the many economic, social, and environmental impacts of a particular strategy or decision. As we engaged the tool at the strategy level, we learned that the complexity and broad scope of each strategy, and the number of assumptions needed in order to describe an impact made it very difficult to identify discreet impacts with a high level of certainty. Conversations were vast, lengthy and ultimately informative to the participants. However, generating the desired list of certain impacts or summarizing the scope of the far-ranging conversations proved difficult. After reviewing the notes from these discussions, there appeared to be an opportunity to identify additional impacts, particularly in the area of social equity. Another round of TBL discussions was convened with small staff groups to review many of the strategies. These staff discussions produced an additional list of potential impacts that are included in the linked summary notes. produced to date and engage additional TBL discussions at a finer level of detail. We expect that TBL discussions can be more informative and helpful, and the impacts more clearly and confidently stated, when applied at the "tactic" level where there is a greater level of specificity. We will continue to share results of this analysis with council as the work of Envision Eugene proceeds.
