BOARDS AND COMISSIONS INTERVIEWS <br />The City Council interviewed Stacy Vynne, Drew Johnson, and Anthony McParland for a vacant position <br />on the City's Sustainability Commission. Each candidate was asked the following questions: <br />1. What prompted you to apply for the Sustainability Commission? Based on what you know <br />about the role of the commission, what skills, knowledge, and community connections could <br />you bring to help the commission be successful? <br />2. What do you consider to be the most important issues to address in Eugene to enable the <br />community to become more sustainable in ways that encompass social equity, economic <br />prosperity, and environmental stewardship? <br />3. The commission is asked to advise the council on a policy that has the potential to provide <br />significant "green" results (e.g., energy efficiency, natural resource protection, etc) but <br />appears to have negative impacts to social equity in the community. How would you <br />reconcile these impacts? What priorities should guide the commission's position? <br />Ms. Taylor adjourned the meeting at 6:55 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />aA J <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br />MINUTES— Eugene City Council September 19, 2011 Page 1 <br />Boards and Commissions Interviews <br />
