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