Summary
Members of a new Sustainability Commission triple-bottom-line committee elected a chair, agreed to produce short orientation materials for commissioners, and scheduled a Parametrics consultant to present examples at the committee’s February meeting.
Courtney was elected chair of the Sustainability Commission’s newly formed Triple Bottom Line (TBL) committee as members set out to produce short orientation materials and schedule an expert briefing in February.
The committee met in an organizational session focused on defining its mission: to familiarize commissioners with the city’s TBL tool and provide compact materials (a one‑page sheet or graphic and an orientation insert) that commissioners can use when reviewing projects and making recommendations. Devin opened the meeting by describing it as introductory and said the committee’s deliverable should help commissioners apply the three-legged TBL lens—people, planet and prosperity—when discussing proposals.
Staff member Danielle shared a set of resources, including case examples and a gamified exercise developed in Fort Collins, and offered to invite Josh Proudfoot of Parametrics to present “three or four examples” of how the city uses TBL. S1 told the committee Josh is available for the next meeting and the group aimed for Tuesday, Feb. 3, to hear the consultant’s presentation.
Members agreed the committee’s primary role is internal education rather than producing consultant‑level analyses. Several participants said the group could recommend when a formal TBL study should be commissioned, or that the commission ask staff to pursue a full analysis for specific projects, but that the committee itself would focus on providing clarity and practical prompts for commissioners. One member suggested placing a short TBL worksheet on meeting tables or in packet materials so commissioners can quickly apply the lens during presentations.
During the meeting Devin nominated Courtney to chair the committee; another member seconded the nomination and the committee moved by voice vote to confirm the choice. The motion was made and seconded on the record; there was no roll‑call vote recorded in the transcript.
The group also addressed logistics: several members reported recurring calendar invitations had been updated or removed when times changed. Danielle said she would re-send the correct recurring invite and reminded members the meeting link is posted on the Sustainability Commission website.
The committee closed with an agreement to review the shared resources, prepare questions for the Parametrics presenter, and reconvene at the scheduled February meeting.
