ADVENTURE. NEXT ON THE AGENDA. WE HAVE ITEMS OF BUSINESS. I'LL TURN IT OVER TO STAFF TO TAKE US THROUGH THESE ITEMS. OKAY SO THE FIRST THING BEFORE WE HEAD OUT ON TOUR IS JUST DISCUSS. THIS WEEK. OH COMMUNITY WASTE REDUCTION GRANT OPPORTUNITY. THAT WE HAVE. THE GRANT DEADLINE IS THE FIFTH BUT THE GOAL OF THIS GRANT IS TO JUST YOU CAN APPLY FOR FUNDING FOR A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROJECTS WHETHER IT'S EXPANDING THE COMPOST PROGRAM. WE DIDN'T APPLY FOR FUNDING FOR THE COMPOST PROGRAM THE FIRST ROUND SO WE COULD DO THAT IF WE WANTED TO.OTHER THINGS ARE LIKE THE WATER REFILLING STATIONS LIKE WE HAVE HERE IN THE HALL. WE COULD PUT THOSE OTHER PLACES. HILLIARD GOT A GRANT FOR AND I AM MARY LOU HAD TALKED ABOUT THIS AT ONE MEETING. FOR THE STYROFOAM DENSITY FIRE. AH! THINK THAT WAS LIKE $30,000 THAT THEY GOT PAID FOR. FROM THE GRANT, SO THERE ARE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES. SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD IS PASSIONATE ABOUT PURSUING, AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION, UM YOU COULD CONSIDER THAT CAN THE WATER RETAILS BE OUTSIDE OR ONLY ENDURE? IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. IF IT'S OUTSIDE, IT OPENS UP ALL KINDS OF INCREMENTAL IDEAS OR WHATEVER. I'VE SEEN THEM OUTSIDE BUT ATTACHED TO A WALL, BUT I'VE SEEN HIM NOT IN OHIO. BUT CONSIDERING THE EXACT SAME THING . THEY'RE JUST ATTENTION OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING ONE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RIGHT CENTER. YEAH BIKE AREA, BUT RIGHT. ROSE ARE ON OR ANYWHERE. THEY'RE REALLY JUST THERE IS ONE THERE'S ONE AT ROSE, RUN BY THE LITTLE BIKE. FIX IT STATION. UM BUT THE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HEIGHTS CENTER. WE CAN LOOK AT THE AVAILABILITY OF WATER, AND THEN IT IS A CITY OWNED FACILITIES, SO I THINK IT PROBABLY WOULD WORK FOR THE GRANT PURPOSES WE COULD CHECK INTO THAT. I HAVE ONE. JUST A GUESS. FOLLOW UP. I MEAN, IT'S PRESSURE THAT WE'RE DOING THIS. MY SON JUST HAD ORIENTATION BOIL WATER. THEY BANNED PLASTIC BOTTLES ON CAMPUS . SO FOR EVERY INCOMING FRESHMEN, THEY GIVE THEM BRING THAT. THE BOTTLE, BUT IT'S A REUSABLE BOTTLE THAT THEY WANT THEM AND THEY GOT THE RE FILLERS ALL AROUND CAMPUS, AND IT'S GOT A QR CODE. AND EVERY TIME YOU FILL IT, YOU SCAN THE QR CODE. AND I FORGET WHAT THE COMPANY'S NAME IS. I'LL SHARE WITH THE GROUP. BUT THEY DONATE ONE OF THOSE BOTTLES OR MONEY TO A GRANT FOR PROJECTS LIKE THIS, SO IT COULD BE KIND OF SIMILAR TO OUR COMPOSTING PROGRAM WHERE WE GIVE OUT THE BOTTLES TO THE COMMUNITY TO KICK IT OFF, AND THEN WE HAVE THESE? THAT'S A FUN IDEA. THAT'S REALLY FUN. AND WE COULD EVEN SEE IF LOOK KIND OF PROMOTIONAL COST FOR WATER BOTTLES. YEAH I THINK IT'D BE FUN COULD STEP FURTHER, RIGHT? GIVING UP WATER BOTTLES WOULD BE
[00:05:09]
GOOD OF THE HAIRCUTS FOR THE MIX STICKERS TO PUT THEM ON. OLD OLD. YEAH, EXISTING ONES. SAME PRINCIPLE, BUT YOU'RE STILL DOING YOUR YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE EVENTUALLY, THESE WATER BOTTLE TOTE BAGS WE HAVE LIKE THAT WHOLE STASH OF THEM GOT YOU ALREADY HAVE THAT DO ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA. THIS IS, UM THEY GAVE AWAY GRANT FOR THAT LAST YEAR. SO I SUPPORT IT. BUT I ALSO WANT TO THROW OUT ONE IDEA THAT UM THAT CAME UP AT OUR HOUSE JUST IN DISCUSSION, WHICH IS PUTTING SOME MONEY INTO A PERMANENT ELECTRONIC WASTE DROP OFF SPACE. WHICH IS WHAT A BURLINGTON HAS ONE TOO. JUST HAVING SOMETHING HAVING A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE THAT ALWAYS DRAW THERE'S NOT A SCRATCHY, BUT IT'S ANOTHER IDEA MAKES TOTAL SENSE. ACTUALLY I CAME UP WITH A BUNCH OF STUFF IN MY BASEMENT RIGHT AFTER DR HOLD ONTO OVER A YEAR. ACH SO MAKE SURE THAT OUT THERE I MEAN IT'S NOT AS INTERESTING, THOUGH, DOESN'T GET THE CONFIDENCE THAT I'M SORRY THE COMMUNITY HAS ENGAGED BUT TO CHECK THE BOX. KEEP ABILITY WE OFFER RIGHT GOOD OFFER. WHAT WE CAN EXPLORE THE YOU KNOW THE WATER WILL PROBABLY IF WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO THAT, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CHECK THE PLUMBING AND THERE MIGHT BE MORE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. BUT THAT COULD BE GIVE US TIME TO WORK. ON THAT TOWARDS THE FUTURE. IF WE CAN'T GET IT DONE BY AUGUST, BUT THEN, UM, THAT YOU WASTE DROPBOX COULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD HAVE FOR NOW. WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR, LIKE, PRICING THESE THINGS OUT AND THEN ACTUALLY DOING THE GREAT SO TYPICALLY WE , UM YOU KNOW, IT DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF GRANT, BUT WE WILL GET US A FEW ESTIMATES FROM PROFESSIONALS TO OR IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE IN HOUSE, UM MIKE IS A GOOD ESTIMATOR EXPERTISE AND THROWING TOGETHER . SOME PROBABLE COST WILL DO THAT, AND THAT'S KIND OF HOW WE APPROACH IS AUGUST. IS THAT ENOUGH TIME? I THINK WE CAN GO OVER AND JUST WE CAN LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHERE IT LOCATION MIGHT WORK. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S OUTDOOR LIKE IN THE TRASH ENCLOSURE ANYTHING IF THERE'S AND WE CAN JUST TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE.YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEREVER THERE IS AVAILABILITY OF WATER LINE IT DOESN'T PUT, YOU KNOW, PUT IT IN A LOCATION WHERE PEOPLE ARE KIND OF IN SOME OBSCURE SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND JUST KIND OF A RANDOM LOCATIONS. WE WANTED TO BE IN AN AREA THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE AND FEEL SAFE USING. THE OTHER THING, TOO. I JUST WANT TO LOOK INTO IS, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST WINTERIZING THAT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD HAVE TO TURN IT OFF DURING WINTER AND, YOU KNOW WE DO IT WITH OUR FAUCETS AND OTHER THINGS ANYWAY, SO BUTI KNOW. WE'RE PUTTING ONE IN INSIDE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUILDING. UM HERE IN THE NEXT PROBABLY A MONTH OR SO, AND IT COSTS ABOUT $800. JUST FOR THE BOTTLE FILLER. SO I DON'T KNOW, GUESSING. WORST CASE SCENARIO, PROBABLY. $4500 RANGE BECAUSE I'M SURE THERE'S OTHER COMPONENTS TO IT THAT HAVE TO BE MORE WEATHER. WEATHER TIGHT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT DO ANY OTHER PUBLIC BUILDINGS NEED THEM. AS A LIBRARY HAVE ONE. A GREEN OVER HERE IN THE LIBRARY, AND I'M PRETTY SURE THE SCHOOL HAS SOME, BUT THAT WOULD BE THE HUGE I MEAN, I KNOW KIDS BRING PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES EVERY DAY. UM SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE A HUGE IMPACT AS IF WE COULD. WHETHER THEY HAVE SOMETHING OR NOT, WHICH I'M SURE THEY HAVE A FEW, BUT MAYBE WE EXPAND AND HOW HARD IT IS JUST A RETROFIT OF REGULAR DRINKING FOUNTAIN WITH THAT'S WHAT WE DID OUT HERE. I WOULD IMAGINE IF THESE PRETTY EASY FOR SCHOOLS. THEY'VE GOT TWO'S MY KIDS HAVE FIGURED OUT MOVED FROM ENGLAND TO GO. SO THAT WOULD BE A HUGE OPPORTUNITY IN THE STADIUM. YEAH JUST IF WE DID THIS AGREEMENT IS THAT COULD WE PARTNER WITH THE DISTRICT WILL HAVE TO FIND OUT WHO IT IS. WHO CAN APPLY. IN THEIR LOCATION THAT COMES IN MIND IS THE NEW BORDER BY SAFETY TOWN. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO IT. THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT THERE, BUT BETWEEN THAT AND ALL THE OTHER BALL FIELDS THE MIRACLE FIELD UP A GOOD IDEA. THERE'S THE POOL HAVE ONE. I DON'T THINK THEY DO. SENSE TO GET A GOOD LIST. YEAH THAT'S ABOUT 20. WHAT
[00:10:08]
LOOK INTO THAT. AND MAYBE IF WE COULD PAIR SEVERAL. THAT GETS US TO AN AMOUNT THAT YOU KNOW IT'S SIGNIFICANT. TWO FOR THE GRANT. AND THEN IF NOT, WE'LL TAKE THEY WON'T JUST UPDATE YOU GUYS BY EMAIL. ONCE WE KIND OF HAVE SOME INFORMATION AND LET YOU KNOW WHICH DIRECTION WE RECOMMEND GOING AND WE PROBABLY WON'T HAVE TIME. WHAT? TO FIGURE OUT THE TIMING AND SEE HOW ALL THAT MAY WORK. I MEAN, SOMETIMES IT'S NO HARM IN APPLYING AND THEN YES. IS THERE A MATCHING COMPONENT? OR IS IT JUST STRAIGHT. BE LIKE READ ON. I THINK IT'S 25% 25% WE GOT ONE LAST YEAR AT OUR CHURCH AND SO EVERYTHING 25% OR THEY WOULD KNOW WE WOULDN'T PAY. OKAY. YEAH, THEY WOULD BE SO I THINK THAT THAT'S RIGHT. THAT SOUNDS AND I HAVE. TALKED WITH CHRISTIE HIGGINS BOMB FROM WACO WHEN WE WERE CONSIDERING APPLYING FOR THE COMPOST FOR FUNDING RELATED TO COMPOSTING, SO SHE KNOWS US AND SHE KNOWS WE'RE INTERESTED. OUR NAME WAS OUT THERE FOR LAST YEAR, SO UM, I THINK WE HAVE THOSE WE HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS OPEN WITH THEM, SO THEY'LL BE RESPONSIVE TO WORKING WITH US TO MAKE SURE WE CAN GET SOMETHING IN BY AUGUST, 5TH. MY SON JUST SUCKS ME. IT'S CALLED OPINION. THAT'S GREAT. YES. GREAT PROGRAM THAT PHILIP, IT'S CALLED THE FILL IT FORWARD PROGRAM. SCAN EVERY TIME YOU REUSE. YEAH AND THEY DON'T NEED TO CHARITY. EVERY TIME YOU USE IT, THAT'S GREAT. DO WE NEED A FORMAL ANY SORT OF FORMAL RECOMMENDATION FOR THAT? I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK WE CAN JUST GO DO SOME RESEARCH AND THEN INFORM THE GROUP. WE HAVE DIRECTION. IF WE'RE GOING TO PROCEED IN THIS DIRECTION. ANIMAL REPORT BACK TO YOU AT OUR AUGUST MEETING. AND JUST. FOR SCOPE STANDPOINT WOULD BE. I'D LIKE US TO GO AS BIG AS YOU THINK IT COULD BE FIGURE OUT HER BACK IF WE PREPARE BACK ALL FIELDS. AND WE'LL REACH OUT TO THE SCHOOL TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY INTEREST. I'VE OFFERED JOHN TO PAY FOR THOSE MYSELF. YOU THINK YOU'RE ASKING FOR SOME CRAZY ASK NOT SURE WHAT THE PUSHBACK THOSE BECAUSE THOSE THINGS RETROFIT ON EXISTING WATER FOUNDERS THEY'VE GOT EXPENSIVE. I'M LOOKING AT THE CLOUDS COMING. THANK YOU GUYS.SO WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? JUST IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA MISS US NORTH ISH. UM IT'S ME. YEAH EVERYONE TO THE CHICKEN COOP. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BREAKING UP AS IT IS GETTING TO US. OKAY, FINGERS CROSSED RIGHT. WELL THAT BASEMENT WEATHERED STORMS OR 150 YEARS. WE ALSO HAVE THE SMART RIDES. ALRIGHT? THIS FIRST THOUGHT IS HOPEFUL, BUT SOMEBODY DID GET A GRANT LAST YEAR TO LOOK AT WHO IT IS THIS EXACT THING. HOW OKAY? AND SO IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL IF IT'S IT WASN'T IF MY MEMORY SOURCE IT WASN'T A TOWN. IT WAS SOMEBODY. PRIVATE ORGANIZATION, BUT ANYWAY. IF I CAN FIND IT, ALSO ENTITY OR ON THEIR WEBSITE SOMEWHERE. I THINK I SAW IT FIGURE OUT TO HAVE LIKE A VIDEO OR SOMETHING. WEBSITE. I DON'T. I MEAN, I DON'T REMEMBER WHO IT WAS, BUT I THINK THEY HAVE IT RIGHT ON THEIR MAIN PAGE AS A VIDEO RECIPIENTS FROM LAST YEAR. HERE. I'LL LOOK FOR IT.
UM, DO WE NEED ANY FORMAL? DISMISSAL. UM I HAVE ONE LAST. I FIGURED I WOULD TOUCH BASE WITH THE GROUP AND I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE ADDED IT TO THAT AGENDA, BUT UH, THE WAY WE HAD TO STAGGER THE UH, APPOINTMENTS. LAURA BRIAN, IT'S THE ARE ALL UP FOR REAPPOINTMENT ALREADY, AND
[00:15:01]
IT SEEMS LIKE HE JUST STARTED. REALLY UH BUT I TOLD JOHN I'D CHECK WITH AND THANK YOU REACH OUT THE LORD. BUT ARE YOU GUYS OKAY WITH BEING REAPPOINTED? THERE'S NOTHING THAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO KEEP GOING. NO PROBLEM. AND THEN MY LAST WAS, UH, BRITISH GRADUATED. YEP. OKAY, REACHED OUT. LIKE WE REALIZED THAT COUNCIL MEETING. I THINK SO. I REACHED OUT TO THE PRINCIPAL MIDDLE SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, AND THEY'RE WORKING ON A REAPPOINTMENT.PROBABLY I SAID IF THEY COULD START, MAYBE AT OUR SEPTEMBER MEETING JUST TO TRY TO TIME IT LIKE THE SCHOOL YEAR, SO THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE AIMING FOR, OK? IT WAS NICE TO HAVE. I THINK IT'S A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR THE STUDENTS, AND IT'S NICE TO HAVE THAT PERSPECTIVE. I DIDN'T KNOW BRITAIN BEFORE THIS, BUT THROUGH GRADUATION AND GOING TO ALL THAT STUFF. IRAN STUFF. THAT'S GREAT.
HOPEFULLY, THIS GAVE HER A LITTLE GLIMPSE INTO GOVERNMENT. YEP. SO I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO FORMALLY DISMISS. WE HAVE WE HAVE A SIGN ON THE DOOR IN CASE ANYONE WOULD WANT TO SHOW UP AND MEET US OUT THERE. WE'RE PUTTING THIS UP ON OUR LIVE STREAM, SO WE'LL KNOW. UM WE WILL HAVE TO COME BACK INTO ADJOURN AFTERWARDS. UM BUT. I THINK THAT PROBABLY BE BEST TO COME BACK IN AND ADJOURN OFFICIALLY, BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET ON THE SHUTTLE BUS. GO TAKE A TOUR. UM WELL, LOOK THROUGH. YOU KNOW WE CAN GO WHEREVER WE WANT ALSO GOING TO OPEN UP THE HOME. SO AT THE END IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED IN IN, SAYING THE BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY, WHICH ARE PRETTY COOL, UM, WE CAN GO IN THERE AS WELL. ALRIGHT. WELL, THAT WAS FUN. UM,

UM, SENATE BILL. 61 H O. A WAS SIGNED BY WINE AND IT'S I THINK IT. TIME IS ENACTED IN MID AUGUST. I THINK IT'S LIKE 60 DAYS, WHATEVER. AND SO IT DEPENDS ON THE LANGUAGE OF THE H O. A CHARTER REALLY DETERMINES TO WHAT EFFECT THOSE RESTRICTIONS ARE CONSTRAINTS WOULD BE. YEAH. CASTAWAY FOR SOLAR TO GO UP. MAYBE WE CAN MAKE THAT AN AGENDA ISLAND FOR AUGUST AS WELL. JUST MAYBE A HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY OF WHAT IT DOES OR DOESN'T DO. YEAH AND THEN ALSO WITH THAT THE RESIDENTIAL SORT OF COOP KICKED OFF ON TUESDAY, WE HAD EVENT AT THE LINEN COMMUNITY CENTER. IN NORTH COLUMBUS AND. SO REGISTRATION IS OPEN AND I'LL SEND IT OUT. TO YOU BOTH. AND THEN YOU CAN DISSEMINATE AS YOU WANT. BY GIVING A WILL BE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. TO WHAT DETAIL THAT ALLOWS FOR HOME UNDERSTOOD , GO MORE EASILY, WHEREAS THEY GO SOLAR. THIS COULD BE A COOL THING FOR FOLKS TO GET INVOLVED IN. WORRY ABOUT SOLAR WITH THE GROUP OF OTHER HOMEOWNERS IN THE AREA AND WHETHER YOU WANT TO GO SOLO OR NOT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.YOU CAN SIGN YOU CAN REGISTER FOR THE COOP. BUT THEN THAT GO GO WITH THE SOLAR INSTALLATION AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER ROUND IN EARLY 2023 AS WELL. FANTASTIC. MHM. ANYONE ELSE? NO.
