SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO BUSINESS FOR THIS EVENING. NEXT ON THE AGENDA. WE HAVE THE ITEMS OF BUSINESS. FIRST WE HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM NOAH KAZI, A SENIOR IN NEW ALBANY HIGH SCHOOL WHO WILL BE REPRESENTING AND RECYCLING IN BEVEL HEIMER PARK. NO, PLEASE. THANK YOU. UM THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME A LOT OF UNDERSTANDING, SO IT'S COOL TO BE HERE. UM FROM MY SENIOR SEMINAR, UH, PROJECT OF A SECOND. IT WAS IMPORTANT. UM WHAT'S YOUR SEMINAR IS A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT. WALL MONEY. STUDENTS CHOOSE A TOPIC AND PASSIONATE ABOUT 100 TOTAL HOURS. CLASSWORK AND PROJECT WORK. UM. SO WHAT? I DID MY AFRICAN COLLECTION THAT DOUBLE HEIMER. THAT'S FINE. SO I WOULD NEVER FIGURE BAG. BECAUSE SHE'S OPENED MY PHONE AND I HAVE PROBABLY LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS I FOUND. UNDER MY PROJECT, SUSTAINABILITY AND RECYCLING,[00:05:01]
BUT IT'S A RESEARCH THROUGHOUT MY PROJECT. VACUUMS AND CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT. AND ALSO PROBABLY GOING TO DO. UM ANSWER DEVICE FOR THE PROJECT. ONTO THE VISOR IS AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD. YOU.YOU'RE BACK INTO THE PROJECT. SO HE HELPED ME A LOT. REALLY TRASH PICKUP. UM. HERE'S FOR RESEARCH COMPONENTS TO MY SENIOR SEMINAR. EARTH WAS A PRELIMINARY RESEARCH COMPARED TO THE LITTLE CRISIS AND U. S CANADA AND LEBANON. BUT I FOUND WAS THAT THE US IS LIKE, NOT THE WORST. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE'S ROOM TO IMPROVE. LIVE REVIEW OR I COMPARED HER RIGHT RIGHT TO SCARLET ARTICLES, ONE FROM A MASTER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AND ONE FROM A RESEARCH GROUP IN TORONTO. AND THEY FIX SURVEY HOMEOWNERS AND CURBSIDE RECYCLING RECYCLING. AND. BOTH OF THEM. THEY FOUND THE SAME THING THAT THERE'S NOT A STRONG CORRELATION BETWEEN AND, UM UH, OCCUPATION OR AGE OF RECYCLING. REALLY? THE ONLY THING THAT LET'S AH BETTER PERFORMANCE IN THE PROGRAMS WAS ACCESSIBILITY ON TOLD ME WAS THAT LIKE ANYBODY CAN RECYCLE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S IN PLACE, AND THAT'S WHAT EVEN USE. UM, WHEN I DID TWO INTERVIEWS. UM INTERVIEWED MILLY SCOTT. UM ANOTHER LADY. I THINK SHE WORKS AT THE COMMUNITY GARDENS OVER THERE. AND THEN UH HUH. THAT'S ALL. YOU KNOW, THAT'S GONNA BE WITH RESPECT ABOUT HOW, UM YOU KNOW, WE'LL LIKE IT MAY BE IDEAL TO GET LIKE BIG CORPORATIONS TO MAKE CHANGE. ENVIRONMENT IT'S NOT ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN OR MIGHT NOT EVER HAPPEN SO TOGETHER, EVERYONE DOING SOMETHING SMALLER , COMING TOGETHER AND MAKE A BIG IMPACT. SUSTAINABILITY IS IMPORTANT. UM NORTON. ORDINARY DAY. MY PROJECT. UM I WOULD DRIVE TO EITHER. SPICKARD WOODS BEVEL HAMMER PARK RESTAURANT.
THE BACK OF MY CAR HAD A TUB. FIGURE BATS, GLOVES. OUT THERE ON THE RIGHT SPREAD YOUR GIRLS TALKING ABOUT? IT'S MUCH LONGER THAN THAT. IT GOES LIKE TEMPTATION ROSE, BUT YEAH, JUST MARKS. ALL THE THINGS I'VE FOUND. IN IN MY PICKUPS AND A LOT OF THINGS, PAPER BALL SPORTS BALLS. UM SO WHAT I FOUND LIKE DONNELLY, THE MOST OF WHICH IS PLASTIC BOTTLES. AND YOU DID THE TURTLE SEGMENT EARLIER. UM BAR GRAPH. THE COLORS GREEN MEANS THAT THE ITEMS RECYCLED PURPLE MEANS THAT IT LIKE SOMETIMES COULD HAVE SO LIKE ASKED TO BE LIKE A INCIDENTS LIKE FAST FOOD CONTAINERS SO THAT YOU CAN'T RECYCLE STYROFOAM. SO IF IT WAS A PAPER ONE AND IT WAS CLEAN, AND IT COULD REMEMBER CYCLE. AND THEN BLUE MEANS. TRYING TO FINISH LIKE VISUALIZED WHAT I WAS DOING THIS ENTIRE TIME PROJECT. IT ALSO SHOWED LIKE WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES.
ROSE RUN. THERE'S REALLY NOT A LOT. UM YOU KIND OF GET THAT, LIKE FEEL, YOU KNOW, RESTAURANTS LIKE IN A NEW PART OF TOWNS. YOU KNOW, YOU GET THIS LIKE POSITIVE PEER PRESSURE, LIKE KEEP IT CLEAN AND. AND THEN ALSO DOUBLE HUNDREDS LIKE IT WAS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER ISSUE WITH SOME RECYCLABLE MATERIALS. UM IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR PROGRAMMING. ESPECIALLY IF EVER.
SO MY PROPOSAL FOR THE PROJECT WAS INFLUENCED SOME SORT OF LIKE TALKING ABOUT, REMEMBER. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AN ENTIRE PART. YOU KNOW, IT'S STARTING AT LIKE SOME PLACE AND SEE IF THAT WORKS AND EXPANDING IT. AS WELL. UM. IN THE YELLOW ZONE. THEY CALL IT WHERE DID A LOT OF PICKUPS UM, THERE WAS 17 TRASH CANS AND LIKE A SMALL LITTLE AREA, BUT NOT ONE OR SECOND THING SO UM, I THINK THERE IS A ROOM LIKE THIS FOR THE REPLACING COUPLE AND THEN THAT'S JUST BECAUSE IT SUPPORTS UTILITIES. IN GENERAL, THEY CAN WAIT. A LOT OF MATERIALS BEHIND IS NOT JUST BASEBALL FIELD, FOOTBALL, SOCCER , LACROSSE. SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT BESIDES THE WINTER, IT'S LIKE A FULL YOUR THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE USING A LOT OF WATER BOTTLES HAVE BEEN USED.
AND I CAN ATTEST THAT I PLAYED BASEBALL THERE FOR YOU WANT MY ENTIRE LIFE? SO YEAH. POINT OF THOUGHTS. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW . I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE CARDS ARE LIKE THE FINANCE BEHIND IT. BUT I KNOW YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE CONSTANTLY, YOU KNOW, FROM THE BINS THEMSELVES TO GETTING PEOPLE TO PICK THEM UP AND MOVE THEM. NO. BUT IT'S LIKE A COUPLE OF PARTS VERY LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET LIKE BIG RECYCLING OVER THEIR ROADS RUN LIKE THIS. LIKE ALMOST LIKE THESE PAGES, YOU PUT LIKE A BAG INSIDE OF IT. UM OR YEAH, IT'S LIKE I SAID, REPLACE 17
[00:10:07]
TRANSPLANTS. THREE SECONDS WITH THEM. AND THEN ALSO THE MOMENT. HEALTHY LIVING. GROWING UP HERE . YOU KNOW, YOU GET THIS IDEA THAT THERE'S THIS POSITIVE PEER PRESSURE. YOU WON'T NEED SUPPORTS HEALTHY CHOICES. YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE WALKING CLASSIC, THERE'S FARMERS MARKETS. RIGHT CENTER. UM SO I FEEL LIKE PUTTING IN DESSERT CYCLING, JUST LIKE WHEN A WHILE BEING ABOUT SO RIGHT? GREAT. THANK YOU KNOW, UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON SO FOR GROWS RUN? ARE THERE PLACES WHERE WE COULD USE MORE. RECYCLING OR TRASH CONTAINERS. LOT, UM I THINK IT'S LIKE. THERE'S LIKE THIS AREA WHERE I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE OH, I KNOW WHERE THERE'S LIKE A MULCH. THERE'S A LOT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL BAGS AND STUFF IN THAT AREA. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S GREAT. DO YOU THINK HAVING MORE RECYCLING EVENTS THAT WOULD STOP? THE ULTIMATE PROBLEM, WHICH IS PEOPLE ARE THROWING STUFF ON THE GROUND. UM YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.BUT HOW DO WE? HOW DO WE CHANGE THAT? THAT WOULD BE IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S LIKE TO ME. THAT'S DISGUSTING. PEOPLE ARE STILL LITTERING. I GUESS IT COMES DOWN TO LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, AWARENESS THAT LIKE THINGS YOU DO LIKE I DO HAVE AN IMPACT.
NO, THANK YOU SMART CHOICES. YEAH. GOOD QUESTION. IT DOES MAKE ME WONDER IF SOME SORT OF SIGNAGE OR, YOU KNOW, EDUCATION MATERIAL, ESPECIALLY BEVEL HEIMER LIKE YOU'RE SAYING SEEMS TO BE THE WORST OFFENDER. I GUESS THAT MAKES SENSE. THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE THAT COME IN AND OUT OF THERE ALL THE TIME. THAT'S THE ONLY LOCATION THAT HAS CONCESSIONS SO THEY'RE SELLING WATER BOTTLES, GATORADE BOTTLES, ETCETERA, BUT THE FACT THAT THEY'RE THROWING, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA RECYCLE, AT LEAST IN THE TRASH CAN BUT, YEAH, I THINK TO ME IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO AT LEAST START WITH RECYCLING BINS THAT BEVEL HEIMER. UH YOU KNOW, WE WERE EMAILING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT ABOUT BRIAN SMITH AND I THINK HE'S AMENABLE TO THAT IDEA. IT'S JUST WE'RE TRYING TO KIND OF ROLL IT INTO THE SWEET PROGRAM, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WORKED OUT THIS TIME. BUT MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN BE INTERESTING IF WE COULD MAYBE SEND THIS TO BRIAN SMITH TO JUST SO HE'S AWARE YOU KNOW THE FACT THAT HE, UM YEAH, DOUBLE HAMMER, UNFORTUNATELY, IS KIND OF THE WORST OFFENDER AROUND NEW ALBANY. I DON'T THINK HE LIKES THAT IDEA. AND I THINK WHATEVER WE CAN DO, BUT I THINK MAYBE SOME EDUCATIONAL PIECES TO GO ALONG WITH RECYCLING BINS. MAYBE HELP. I DON'T KNOW THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. WHAT ELSE WE CAN DO? I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC, THOUGH. YEAH, THAT MAKES ME THINK. OF THAT THE. COVID SIGN WITH THE EAGLE. THAT'S IT. SCHOOLS LIKE SPACE AND ALL THAT. SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD BE PLAYFUL. BUT KIND OF FIT IN WITH BEVEL HAMMER AND IT WOULD BE PRETTY INTERESTING AND TRYING TO HELP OUT WITH EDUCATION IN TERMS OF WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO THAT. OBVIOUSLY THEIR CYCLE CYCLING AND. RIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY UM, YEAH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU ARE WELCOME TO STAY AND, UM, ENJOY THE REST OF THE MEETING. WE'RE TALKING A LOT ABOUT BUDGET, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT THRILLS YOU IF IT DOES. WELCOME TO STAY.
YOU'RE ALSO WELCOME TO TAKE OFF. WE WON'T JUDGE YOU. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING. THANKS GOD.
OKAY UM, MY FINAL PUSH FOR THE SUMMIT ON SUSTAINABILITY. UM AND YOU'VE GOTTEN RSVPS FROM LILY.
UM AND I KNOW BRIAN WILL BE THERE. ADRIAN AND I WILL BE THERE. UM IS ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED, BUT JUST NOT SURE IF THEY CAN MAKE IT OR IS IT JUST A NO? FROM AND THAT'S OKAY. I'M JUST TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER WE SHOULD GET A TABLE OR DO INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATIONS. I'M INTERESTED THAT WE DON'T HAVE SCHOOL THAT DAY. I GUESS MY JUST NEED TO CHECK IN SEE WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON WITH THE FAMILY THAT DAY, BUT OKAY BACK TO YOU THIS WEEK? YES, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THANK YOU. GREAT. OKAY? SO WE ARE GONNA DIVE INTO. UM OUR WORK PROGRAM AND DRAFT BUDGET FOR
[00:15:05]
2023 YEAR. UM AND SO JUST TO, I GUESS, START THINGS OFF HERE. I JUST WANTED TO SAY LIKE AS I PULLED THIS BUDGET TOGETHER AND WAS LOOKING THROUGH WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR. UM, JUST IN THE SHORT TIME THAT THIS BOARD HAS BEEN AROUND, UM DEFINITELY A LOT TO BE PROUD OF. UM AND I THINK YOU ARE ACCOMPLISHED SUCH A SUCH A GREAT AMOUNT OF THINGS AND A SHORT TIME SO UM. WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE KIND OF WHAT WE CAN CARRY INTO THE NEXT YEAR. UM AND I HAVE THE BUDGET. I PRINTED OUT A COPY OF THE BUDGET IN FRONT OF YOU, UM IT'S BEEN UPDATED SLIGHTLY SINCE I SENT IT OUT IN THE EMAIL, UM AND THEN WE'LL KIND OF GO THROUGH BASED ON THE PRIORITIES THAT YOU ESTABLISHED AT THE BEGINNING LAST DECEMBER, AND WHAT KIND OF START THERE AND THEN? KIND OF DETERMINE, UM WHAT YOU WANT TO TAKE INTO NEXT YEAR. SO UM, THIS THIS BUDGET KIND OF SERVES, AS I GUESS A MENU FOR LACK OF BETTER TERMS. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ALL OF IT, BUT YOU CAN SELECT OPTIONS AND DETERMINE WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO PRIORITIZE IN 2023. UM SO I THINK AT THE END OF THE MEETING, THE GOAL IS TO HAVE UM, A BUDGET THAT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE RECOMMENDING TO COUNCIL. UM AND KIND OF SELECT FROM SOME OF THESE OPTIONS. WHAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE. AND I GUESS ANOTHER SIDE NOTE IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DELVE INTO ALL OF THE DETAILS ABOUT HOW THESE WILL KIND OF BE LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, WE'LL TALK ABOUT EARTH DAY. WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT LIKE ALL THOSE LOGISTICS, BUT JUST KIND OF THINKING ABOUT UH HUH. KIND OF A BROAD SCALE OF EACH OF THESE AND WHAT WE'LL NEED FOR THOSE SO TO START OFF. IF YOU REMEMBER WE HAD FIVE PRIORITIES THAT CAME OUT OF THE MEETING IN DECEMBER WHERE WE DID OUR POST IT NOTE ACTIVITY. OUR FIRST PRIORITY WAS THE FOOD WASTE COMPOST PROGRAM, WHICH WE IMPLEMENTED AND IT'S BEEN A SUCCESS SO FAR. UM AS OF TODAY, WE'VE COLLECTED JUST ABOUT 6.5 TONS OF FOOD. UH, WHICH IS A AMOUNTS TO ABOUT 48 TRASH CARTS DIVERTED FROM THE LANDFILL, UM, ABOUT 320 HOUSEHOLDS OR ORGANIZATIONS HAVE REGISTERED UM. AND I JUST WANT TO PULL UP THIS DASHBOARD AGAIN BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS. OUR G I S UM G, I S EXPERT . I GUESS RYAN. HE'S BEEN WORKING ON THIS AND HE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO SUBMIT IT AT THE END OF THE WEEK FOR THE STATE G I S CONFERENCE AND SEE IF WE CAN GET AN AWARD FOR IT. UM SO IT JUST STATES ALL THE FINE NUMBERS. IN TOTAL £3.89 OF FOOD PER HOUSEHOLD IN NEW ALBANY , NOT JUST HOUSEHOLDS WHO HAVE REGISTERED BUT TOTAL HOUSEHOLDS. UM AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE TRENDS. I THINK THIS IS WHAT I KIND OF FIND MOST EXCITING IS TO SEE. HOW HOW MUCH IT'S JUST GONE UP OVER. UM, SINCE WE STARTED IN APRIL. AND REALLY THIS THIS YEAR IF YOU CLICK ON VILLAGE ALL YOU CAN SEE HOW VILLAGE HALL IS REALLY LIKE INCREASED THE DEMAND . AND THAT IS ACTUALLY UM, WHY? IN THE BUDGET I HAVE PROPOSED ADDING A THIRD CART TO THE VILLAGE HALL LOCATION JUST BECAUSE IT'S BEEN KIND OF CAPACITY THE LAST FEW WEEKS. UM SO WITH THAT THE BUDGET IT STAYS ROUGHLY THE SAME FROM THIS YEAR JUST HAS GONE UP SLIGHTLY TO, UM GO. ZERO INCREASE THEIR NUMBERS JUST SLIGHTLY, AND WE ADDED A THIRD CART. UM SO THAT CLARIFICATION IS THIS. THE PROPOSED BUDGET? DOES THAT HAVE TO BE WHITTLED DOWN OR IS THAT WE JUST GO WITH $85,000 AND HOPE FOR THE BEST OR WHAT HAS IT. UM WE HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS THAT I'M GOING TO POSE THROUGHOUT. UM, I THINK. THERE THERE'S SOME SPACES WHERE IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALL IT'S MAYBE PICK OR CHOOSE. AND WHAT KIND OF GET THERE, OKAY? WELCOME YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE GOOD. UM OKAY. SO THE SECOND PRIORITY YOU IDENTIFIED LAST DECEMBER WAS REVIEWING SOLAR, ESPECIALLY SOLAR AS IT RELATES TO H O S. UM AND SO THIS IS ALWAYS, I GUESS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING PROJECT. WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY HOW[00:20:03]
IT RELATES TO SENATE BILL 61, WHICH WENT INTO EFFECT YESTERDAY. UM AND I KNOW ADRIAN WENT OVER THIS MEMO FROM OUR CITY ATTORNEY LAST MONTH. UM. AND THEN GOING FORWARD. I'M CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND ARE PLANNING AND DESIGN MK SK CONSULTANTS. UM IN ORDER TO CREATE THIS SOLAR ENERGY BEST PRACTICES AND RECOMMENDATIONS.REPORT. THAT I THINK WE'RE EXPECTING IT AND THE NEXT IN A COUPLE MORE MONTHS, LIKE RIGHT AROUND THANKSGIVING BALLPARK, UM CURRENTLY THE FUNDS FOR THAT COME FROM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND THEY'RE PLANNING BUDGET. BUT SO THERE'S NOT REALLY A NEED FOR AN ADDITIONAL BUDGET. GOING FORWARD IN 2023. UM, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT. STANDS OUT TO YOU LIKE YOU MIGHT NEED SOMETHING, UM, FEEL AFRAID OF APPLIES IT, BUT JUST IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AND WHERE WE'RE GOING. I DON'T NECESSARILY SEE A NEED FOR THAT. YEAH I MY DAD IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT COMES OUT OF THAT STUDY, I WOULD EXPECT IT COULD BE SOMETHING LIKE A CODE CHANGES REQUIRED THAT WOULD EITHER BE DONE IN HOUSE BY OUR PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OR THROUGH THEIR BUDGET WITH SOME CONSULTANTS, SO IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE BUDGETED NECESSARILY OUT OF THIS GROUPS. UM PART OF THE BUDGET. SO THIS MAY NOT BE A 2023 ITEMS, BUT JUST THINKING THROUGH THAT M. IS THERE A PLACE FOR US TO EDUCATED THE COMMUNITY ABOUT HOW THE LAW HAS CHANGED AND HOW THAT MIGHT AFFECT THEM. THAT'S I GUESS THE QUESTION WANTING. THE OTHER PART OF THE QUESTION IS WHO IS THE AUDIENCE FOR THE RECOMMENDATIONS? REPORT? DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT'S MAYBE SOMETHING IN THE AVERAGE. NEW ALBANY RESIDENT WOULD REALLY READ. WE MIGHT WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT WHAT HAS CHANGED? YEAH, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE'S AN EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT. WE'VE YOU'LL SEE IT A LITTLE LATER ON. WE'VE BUDGETED A LITTLE. WE PUT A LITTLE BIT IN THE BUDGET FOR LIKE PR MARKETING MATERIALS. WE DON'T NEED TO DETERMINE WHAT THOSE TOPICS ARE. WE PUT ENOUGH FOR, LIKE TWO POSTCARD MAILERS TO EVERY RESIDENT AND NEW ALBANY . IF WE WANT TO DO POSTCARDS OR NOT, WE CAN DECIDE WHAT THE BEST KIND OF METHOD IS AND WHAT THOSE TOPICS WOULD BE. BUT I AGREE THAT THERE SHOULD BE THAT SHOULD BE PART OF WHAT THIS BOARD IS DOING AND HOW IT IS INTERACTING OR INFORMING THE RESIDENTS HERE. THANK YOU. OKAY? THE BOARD'S THIRD PRIORITY WAS THE TOPIC OF SUSTAINABLE AND NATIVE LANDSCAPING. AND I KNOW OVER THE LAST FEW MEETINGS, WE'VE HAD A FEW DIFFERENT PROJECT IDEAS THAT HAVE KIND OF BEEN THROWN OUT THERE AND DISCUSSED UM, ONE OF THOSE BEING A PILOT PROJECT. UM, WHETHER WE IMPLEMENT THAT DIRECTLY OR POTENTIALLY USING, UM. SOME BUDGET FROM THE BOARD TO GO TOWARDS A GRANT PROGRAM WHERE UM, AND THIS IS REALLY UP TO YOU ALL IF YOU WANT TO. I PUT $2000 IN THE BUDGET. UM BECAUSE THAT WAS SIMILAR. TO WHAT THERE IS THIS WILD ONES. UM WEB PAGE THAT WE USE KIND OF AS A AS A CASE STUDY IN IT. THAT'S THAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT THEY USED AND THAT CAN REALLY GO TOWARDS YOU KNOW IT CAN BE. IT CAN FUND EIGHT SMALL PROJECTS THAT CAN FUND TO LARGE PROJECTS DEPENDING ON WHAT SORT OF APPLICATIONS YOU GET IN. AND WHAT TYPE OF PROJECTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN. UM SUPPLEMENTING AND PROVIDING FUNDS FOR ANOTHER ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE THAT WAS BROUGHT UP UM, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALTERNATIVE. IT'S ANOTHER OPTION IS JUST TO UM, IS TO DO AN INVASIVE TREE AND SHRUB TRADING PROGRAM AND THAT WAS ALSO IN THIS WILD ONES. THE LINK IS ON THE COMMENTS. CARL, UM, HERE IN THE BUDGET. UM AND THIS WOULD INVOLVE SOMETHING LIKE UM. WHATEVER NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WE WANT TO OPEN IT UP TO PROVIDING THEM A NATIVE TREE OR SHRUB PLANT AND LIKE A FIVE GALLON BUCKET SIZE THOSE ARE ABOUT $40 A PIECE. AND SO WE COULD DO IN THE BUDGET. I PUT 200 JUST AND THAT AMOUNTED TO $8000. BUT WE CAN DO 100. IF WE THINK WE WANT TO START SMALL THE FIRST YEAR AND SEE HOW IT GOES. UM PEOPLE WOULD TAKE A PICTURE OF THEM PULLING OUT AN INVASIVE SPECIES, AND THEN THEY CAN BRING THAT AND WE CAN DETERMINE HOW WE, UM. EITHER GIVE THEM THE PLANK DIRECTLY OR DO SOME SORT OF REIMBURSEMENT TYPE. THING QUESTION ABOUT. WHAT WAS THAT?
[00:25:06]
GRANT PROPOSAL WE'D BE DOING OUT YOU HAVE HERE $2000. WOULD THAT BE JUST FOR RESIDENTS OR SO THAT WOULD, UM, MAINLY BEFORE ORGANIZATIONS, SCHOOLS, CHURCHES , THAT KIND OF, UM, I THINK WE SAW YOUR HUSBAND COME IN AND PRESENT ABOUT HOW IT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN DOING SOME SORT OF PILOT THING, AND I'M SURE HE'S NOT LIKE THE ONLY YOU KNOW YOUR CHURCH ISN'T THE ONLY THERE'S PROBABLY MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE INTERESTED, AND WE SAW THE STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL HAVE THOSE WITH SO, YOU KNOW. A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT KIND OF THING. YEAH AND I DO THINK OF THIS WAS SELECTED OR IN THE BUDGET. PART OF WHAT THIS GROUP WOULD DO WOULD BE TO COME UP WITH THAT GRANT PROGRAM, SO WHAT'S THE APPLICATION LOOKED LIKE, WHAT ARE WE ASKING, CREATING THE CRITERIA? AND SO THAT WOULD BE A KIND OF WHOLE EFFORT NEXT YEAR TO PUT THAT TOGETHER AND THEN IMPLEMENT IT AND SEE YOU KNOW WHO IS INELIGIBLE FOR? WHAT ARE THE AMOUNTS? UM WHAT ARE YOU KNOW? WHAT ARE WE LOOKING TO ACHIEVE? I REALLY LIKE THAT. YOU LIKE TO TRADE IN IDEA AND THE YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, TO GET A FREE NATIVE THREE YEARS. SHRUB, I THINK WOULD BE POPULAR, ESPECIALLY IF YOU COMBINE IT WITH SOME SORT OF EDUCATIONAL PIECE WHERE YOU COULD HAVE MAYBE WELL, LIKE MARY LOU COULD HAVE SOME EXAMPLES AROUND TOWN OF PLACES THAT ARE ALREADY DONE THIS OR MAYBE EVEN NATIVE. A REPRESENTATIVE FROM NATIVE NURSERIES OR SOMETHING THAT COULD BE THERE TO HELP PEOPLE, YOU KNOW. THINK ABOUT WHAT MIGHT WORK IN THERE. YARDS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT, YEAH, I THINK IT SOUNDS REALLY COOL. HOW WOULD WE IDENTIFY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TRADE SOMETHING IN LIKE HOW DO WE KNOW THAT? WHAT THEIR PLANT IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T WANT. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE IT MIGHT BE A NATIVE PLANT THAT MAYBE THEY JUST DON'T LIKE, UM HOW DO WE OKAY, DETERMINED THAT I THINK I MEAN, WE'D HAVE TO PUT THE PROGRAM TOGETHER. THIS WEBSITE ACTUALLY HAS ITS A GOOD CASE. STUDY FOR US PRETTY CLEARLY LIST THE SPECIES THAT CONSIDERED INVASIVE AND ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE TRADE IN AND THEN IT. THIS ONE HAS LIKE YOU TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU. UM YOU KNOW, REMOVING THE PLANT EMAIL IT IN AND THEN UM THEN YOU GET THE AND IT LISTS OUT THE YOU KNOW, THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLANTS THAT YOU WOULD GET. IN REPLACEMENT FOR THE INVASIVE SPECIES. THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF LOGISTICS TO WORK OUT. I MEAN, WE CAN'T KEEP 205 GALLON TROUBLE. MARY LOU WANTS THAT, BUT I THINK WE COULD LOOK AT YOU KNOW YOU COULD MAKE IT TIME CERTAIN. SO YOU DO IT BY THIS TIME, AND THEN WE WOULD KNOW HOW MANY WE'D HAVE TO ORDER. MAYBE WE COULD WORK OUT LIKE A VOUCHER PROGRAM. AND THEN YOU JUST GO TURN IT IN OUTTA NURTURING SO WE'D HAVE TO WORK THROUGH ALL THOSE THINGS, BUT UM, WE THOUGHT THIS WAS A FUN IDEA, AND YOU COULD PROBABLY GET SOME FUN MARKETING OUT OF IT. AH AND WE WANT TO JUST PUT TOGETHER A BUDGET NUMBER OF THIS WAS SOMETHING THE BOARD WAS INTERESTED IN. I THINK IT'S A GOOD PLAN YOU COULD HAVE. EVEN WHEN YOU'RE ADVERTISING IT LIKE THE TOP 10. WORST INVADERS IN JUST TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE LIKE HERE'S SOME OBVIOUS ONES THAT ARE REALLY POPULAR THAT WE SHOULD BE GETTING RID OF. YEAH, I THINK ABOUT WHEN THEY PUT IT MADE OF YEAH, I LIKE IT. IT'S FUN AND THEN PEOPLE AND IT'S AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY . AT THE SAME TIME. IT'S LIKE IT'S PUBLIC EDUCATION AND ACTUALLY. MAKING SOMETHING CHANGED SO. AND I ALSO LIKE THE GRANT PROGRAMS THAT COLONY THAT'S JUST A REALLY WONDERFUL IDEA. AND UM. I THINK YOU THROUGH THE PROGRAM. YOU KNOW HOW WE CAN HELP PEOPLE GET STARTED AND POLLINATORS MYSTIFIED PEOPLE, AND I THINK THERE WILL BE MORE COMPLICATED. MHM. ARE SO IT WAS A GOOD EDUCATION COMPONENT REPORTS AS WELL. SO LIKE OTHER TECH? YES. UM AND. I CAN KEEP GOING THROUGH THESE. AND THEN, OF COURSE, AT THE END, WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IF WE WANT TO COME BACK AND DETERMINE IF WE WANT TO PROVIDE 200. NATIVE. PLANTS OR IF WE WANT TO DO 100 OR WHATEVER WE WANT TO FINAGLE.UM SO THEN THE FOURTH PRIORITY WAS COMMUNITY CLEANUP PROJECTS, AND THAT INCLUDED UM ARE ELECTRONIC WASTE DRIVES? DR THAT WE DID IN 2022. UM, THAT. YEAH AT THE END, TURNED OUT TO BE ABOUT $1000 TO PAY FOR THE COMPUTERS AND THE. THE CATHODE THE CRT TVS AND MONITORS AND
[00:30:02]
THEN AN ADDITIONAL ABOUT $200 FOR SIGNAGE. SO IF WE WANTED TO REPLICATE THAT AGAIN BE, UM ABOUT $1000 PER DRIVE, PLUS SIGNAGE AND PROMOTIONS. UM WE ALSO LOOKED INTO THE COST OF PAPER SHREDDING, AND THAT IS ABOUT $2000 PER DRIVE. UM AND THEN THE HAZARDOUS WASTE DRIVE WAS ACTUALLY THE MOST EXPENSIVE. UM A CAME IN ABOUT 17,500. WESTERVILLE JUST DID ONE RECENTLY THEIR SPRING DRIVE ACROSS THEM. $35,000 I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT GETS ADVERTISED LIKE IT'S WACO DOING IT. YEAH SO WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT SWEET CO FUNDS THEIR FALL DRIVE. UM THERE'S SPRING DRIVE WAS OUT OF POCKET FOR THEM. SO I'M NOT ACTUALLY SURE HOW MUCH THEY FALL DRIVE COSTS, AND THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO IT. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WAS ONE OF THOSE BRANDS THAT THEY THAT'S WE GO. PAID. I WASN'T QUITE SURE ON THAT. UM.BUT THEY DO HAVE LIKE SWEET CO. HAS THREE COMMUNITIES LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE. IT'S WESTERVILLE GROWTH CITY AND DUBLIN. UM AND SO THAT'S DEFINITELY WORTH LOOKING INTO TO SEE. HOW CAN WE GET THEM TO PICK UP THE COST? IF POSSIBLE? DO ONE OF THEM WOULD DO AN OFF CYCLE LIKE TWICE A YEAR. ONE IS 11 IS THE OTHER YEAH. AND SPLIT THAT THE COLLECTION PEOPLE WILL GET SHE DID BOTH. BUT WE REALLY JUST DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY 20,000, RIGHT ? YEAH, WE WERE SURPRISED BY THAT COST. YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY WESTERVILLE IS A LOT BIGGER THAN US, AND THEY IN THAT COST, THEY DID INCLUDE THEIR STAFFING OVERTIME COSTS, WHICH WE ARE, INCLUDING FOR BUDGET NUMBERS RIGHT NOW, BUT CERTAINLY THAT IS A CONSIDERATION WITH ANYTHING WE WOULD DO. THEY'RE A LOT BIGGER THAN US. SO WE KIND OF BACKED INTO WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS FOR A BUDGET. ORDER OF MAGNITUDE DISCUSSION. WOULD BE A CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH THAT WE WOULDN'T YOU KNOW, GET OURSELVES IN A PLACE WHERE WE COULDN'T FUND IT. AND YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHO COMES TO IT? BUT I MEAN, WESTERVILLE IS WHAT 40,000 PEOPLE VERSUS D WELL ELECTIONS, BUT WE THINK THAT'S A GOOD NUMBER JUST FOR PLANNING PURPOSES BECAUSE IT'S BASED ON VOLUME IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING GENERALLY. YEAH, GENERALLY, IT IS. HAZARDOUS PLACE EVERY TIME. PAINT THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT GET BIG. I THINK THAT'S THE MAJORITY OF WHAT YOU FIND. I'M NOT SURE I DON'T HAVE YEAH, CONDITIONERS THAT KIND OF STUFF. SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF MONEY COMPLETE. CAN WE GET SHERMAN WILLIAMS TO KICK SOME MONEY? ALONG THOSE LINES, WE CAN LOOK FOR PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. THINK FOR SO FROM THE CITY'S BUDGET CALENDAR. WE'RE ON A CALENDAR YOUR BUDGET. AH, DEPARTMENTS HAVE TO ENTER IN OUR BUDGET REQUESTS BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, IT GOES THROUGH AN INTERNAL REVIEW. IT HAS THE FIRST WORKSHOP WITH COUNCIL IN NOVEMBER, SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING ON GETTING THIS WORK PROGRAM AND BUDGET SET SO WE CAN ENTER INTO THE PROCESS AND THEN ULTIMATELY PRESENTED TO COUNCIL.
IT'S SAFER TO BUDGET FOR MORE THAN WHAT WE NEED. BUT IF THERE ARE PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES OR GRANT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE THEN THAT'S FANTASTIC. WE JUST WOULDN'T HAVE TO NESTLE CAN'T NECESSARILY COUNT ON THAT RIGHT NOW. AND FOR LIKE A NEW NEWER ENDEAVOR FOR THE CITY WHEN THEY'RE CONSIDERING THE BUDGET LIKE THIS BOARD. HOW DO THEY. TRY TO FIND THE MIDDLE GROUND OR WHAT MAKES SENSE IN DETERMINING THE SIZE OF UM, THIS IS A BIT OF A TRAIL BLAZING BOARD. I MEAN, WE'VE REALLY IN MY 10 YEARS HERE. WE HAVEN'T LIKE STOOD UP SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE, SO I DON'T REALLY HAVE A SENSE OF, UM WHAT IS THAT SWEET SPOT IN TERMS OF NUMBERS? I WHEN WE GET TO THE SUMMARY, I THINK WE HAVE, LIKE, KIND OF A ORDER OF MAGNITUDE ON WHAT WE'VE SPENT THIS YEAR. UH AND THAT KIND OF CONSERVE AS A FOUNDATION MOVING FORWARD ON WHAT YOU THINK IS AN APPROPRIATE BUDGET TO PROPOSE. IS IT TYPICAL THAT NOT HAVING SAT THROUGH ONE OF THE MEETINGS FOR BUDGETS IS A TYPICAL THAT IT'S AN ALL OR NOTHING OR IT'S LIKE I'M SORRY WE CAN'T DO $40,000, BUT WE CAN DO $20,000 AND GETS THROWN BACK TO US TO FIGURE OUT. I THINK IT'S MORE THAT THAN AN ALL OR NOTHING TYPE OF SITUATION. I WOULD ASSUME SO. IT'S GOOD TO CONFIRM. OKAY UM, AND THEN THE FIFTH PRIORITY WAS THE SUSTAINABLE ACTION PLAN. AND WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO
[00:35:04]
REVISIT IF THIS IS STILL A PRIORITY GOING FORWARD, BUT IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T STARTED. UM, AND IT HASN'T BEEN SOMETHING WE'VE DISCUSSED RECENTLY. UM IN TERMS OF INTEREST, SO AT THIS POINT, WE HAVEN'T PROPOSED ANY, UM, FUNDING FOR THAT PLAN. SO THEN LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL PROJECTS. IN THE BUDGET. THIS BREAKS OUT TO 35,000 BALLPARK, AND THIS INCLUDES THE EARTH DAY TO ARBOR DAY CELEBRATIONS. UM, AND LAST YEAR, WE DID EARTH DAY EVENTS.SEPARATE FROM ARBOR DAY, AND I THINK GOING INTO 2023. AND MAYBE MARY LOU CAN TALK ABOUT THIS IN MORE DETAIL AT AN UPCOMING MEETING, BUT I THINK THE IDEA IS THAT WILL DO A WEEK LONG SORT OF SERIES OF EVENTS, UM, INCLUDING THE WASTE DRIVE. THAT CAN INCLUDE E WASTE AND PAPER, POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS. MATERIALS. UM AND THIS WOULD BE LIKE INCLUDE. I BUDGETED SEPARATELY, BUT WASTE DRIVES. UM AND THEN THESE ADDITIONAL COSTS ARE WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED FROM OUR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATOR JUST TO INCLUDE THINGS LIKE GIVEAWAYS AND ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE. UM I THINK ULTIMATELY IT'S UP TO THE BOARD TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH OF THAT WEEK THAT THEY WANT TO SOMETHING. I GUESS LAY CLAIM TO OR SAY LIKE, I THINK SPONSORING THE. THANK YOU E WASTE DRIVE OR THE ADDITIONAL DRIVES. AS LIKE CONFIRMED, BUT THEN IN TERMS OF THE REST OF THE WEEK, YOU'RE WELCOME TO GO TO ALL THOSE EVENTS. BUT HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO TAKE ON IN TERMS OF PLANNING AND BEING A PART OF THAT WAS CONVERSATIONS. UM AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT AT A FUTURE MEETING, TOO. SO THEN ANOTHER CONVERSATION THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING IS THINKING ABOUT THE WATER BOTTLE REFILL STATIONS, AND I KNOW THAT CAME UP KIND OF OUT OF THE CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT CAN WE DO? FIRST WACO GRANT. UM AND ONE THING THAT CAME UP WAS AN OUTDOOR WATER FOUNTAIN. UM THAT WATER FOUNTAIN PLUS THE ADDITIONAL COSTS IS ABOUT $18,000. FOR OUTDOOR. AND THE LOCATION THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED WAS AROUND THE HEIGHT AND STAFF WERE KIND OF THINKING ABOUT THIS, AND WE I KNOW THAT THERE IS THAT WATER BOTTLE REFILL STATION RIGHT BY THE BIKE. FIX IT STATION. AND SO IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH VALUE YOU'RE ADDING FOR AN $18,000 WATER FOUNTAIN. WE THOUGHT UM. WE COULD DEVOTE MORE ENERGY TO POTENTIALLY PARTNERING WITH THE SCHOOLS. THERE'S AN E P A GRANT THAT UM, WILL PAY FOR RETROFITTING WATER FOUNTAINS IN SCHOOLS, AND SO WE CAN PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOLS. WE CAN HELP THEM. UM, TO APPLY FOR THOSE GRANTS, BUT ALSO CONSIDER USING THIS PHILIP FORWARD APP THAT CASEY HAS TALKED ABOUT. TO PROVIDE EITHER WATER BOTTLES OR THE QR CODE TAGS FOR WATER BOTTLES. UM PROVIDE THOSE TWO STUDENTS SO POTENTIALLY DOING THAT, INSTEAD OF A WATER FOUNTAIN. SO THAT THAT'S THE QUESTION, UM, TO GAUGE YOUR INTEREST ON THOSE YES, WE DID DO SOME PRELIMINARY OUTREACH TO MR KRAMER AND, UH, THEY'RE INTERESTED IN PARTNERING WITH US, WHICH IS, I THINK FANTASTIC NEWS. UM THEY PUT US IN A CONTACT WITH SEVERAL OTHER TEACHERS. SO WE JUST SAID WE WANTED TO SEE IF THEY'RE INTERESTED BEFORE WE BROUGHT THIS TO YOU. AND THEN YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY TO PUBLIC MEETING AND WITHIN OUR BUDGET, BUT WE THINK THERE'S A GOOD PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY WHERE THEY COULD GET THE GRANT FUNDING FOR THE STATIONS THEMSELVES. WE COULD KIND OF DO THE QR CODE PIECE WATER BOTTLE PIECE. MAYBE. I THE APP AND THE PROMOTION OF IT IN REALLY THAT SEEMS LIKE YOU COULD HAVE A REALLY BIG IMPACT. IF YOU'RE YOU KNOW IF YOU REDUCING THE USE OF PLASTIC BOTTLES AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WERE YOU GOING TO GO INTO WHAT? THE TILT FORWARD. YEAH SO, UM, PHILIP FORWARD THAT IS THE APP THAT CASEY MENTIONED. UM AND IT'S AN APP WHERE YOU UM CAN AND IT KIND OF BREAKS DOWN ON THE BACK OF THE BUDGET. I PROVIDED TO YOU SR CODE, AND EVERY TIME YOU SCAN IT IT EITHER. YOU HAVE DIFFERENT
[00:40:01]
OPTIONS OF. OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU SCAN IT SO IT CAN DONATE LIKE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CHANGE PER DOLLAR, TOO. TO UM LIKE A CUSTOM GIVING PROJECT OR YOU CAN DO GROUP OR REWARDS, BUT THE AB ITSELF TRACKS FIVE INVENT ENVIRONMENTAL METRICS. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THOSE ARE, BUT YOU CAN ALSO HAVE A LEADERBOARD. IT CAN FEATURE OUR LOGO, OUR CITY LOGO.INCLUDE PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTIONS , SO IT CAN BE REALLY KIND OF CUSTOMIZED TO OUR COMMUNITY. AND YOU CAN HAVE, UM, STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL PARTICIPATING. YOU CAN HAVE RESIDENTS PARTICIPATING. UM. KIND OF SOME SOME COOL OPTIONS WITH THAT. I WILL NOTE THE. SOME OF THE STICKER SHOCK FOR ME CAME WITH THE COMPANION COMPANY CUP PINION BOTTLE. UM IT'S THEIR SPECIAL GLASS WATER BOTTLES THAT THEY THEY BRAND AND. THOSE START AT 8 95 A BOTTLE. UM FOR 480, WHICH IS BALLPARK WOULD I INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET? UM, GOING UP TO IF YOU ORDER. OVER 6000. THEY DROPPED TO 6 95 A BOTTLE. WHICH YOU KNOW WE HAVE 10,000 RESIDENTS. I THINK 6000 MIGHT BE A LOT SO UM, FOR 10,000, OK? WELL BRIAN TO YOUR POINT, I THINK A COUPLE MONTHS AGO YOU MENTIONED WELL. EVERYONE ALREADY HAS A REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE. SO CAN WE JUST GET THE Q R CODES AND GIVE THEM STICKERS AND SO I MEAN, FOR JUST A QR CODE. IT'S A LITTLE EXPENSIVE, TOO, BUT IT'S MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE TO JUST SKIP THE TAGS. UM. AND WE CAN POTENTIALLY ORDER DIFFERENT WATER BOTTLES THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT PRICE, BUT I THINK IF WE FACTOR IN 4300. OR I MEAN, IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS IF YOU WANT TO INCLUDE THAT OR NOT. UM ULTIMATELY THOSE THOSE PRODUCTS ARE OPTIONAL. SO DO YOU NEED THE CURE CODE OR THE PAN YIN'S BOTTLE IN ORDER FOR IT TO REGISTER WITH ACTIVE, THE ENVIRONMENTAL METRICS AND ALL THAT. OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? YEAH, YOU WOULD NEED EITHER A TAG. WELL YOU NEED THE TAG. THE WATER BOTTLE IS THE OPTIONAL THING. THE TAG IS WHAT BY THE TAGS. REGARDLESS AND THEN YOU DEFINITELY BUY THAT. ADDITION TO THE BODIES THEMSELVES. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. THAT'S GOOD. BUT YOU CAN'T JUST BUY THE TAGS AND PEOPLE COULD PUT THEM ON WATER BOTTLES THERE. YOU KNOW, IT'S A STICK. IT'S A STICKER, RIGHT? YEAH AND THEY HAVE THINGS LIKE LIKE REUSABLE TOTES. YOU CAN PUT THE TAG ON A IF YOU TAKE IT TO THE GROCERY STORE, YOU CAN SCAN THAT YOU'VE REUSED YOUR TOTE. SO THAT KIND OF THING TO, UM UH HUH. I THINK THE WATER BOTTLE FILLING STATIONS WITH DEFINITELY BE USED AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU COULD GET THE KIDS TO USE THE Q R LIKE A LOT ABOUT YOU SKIN THE CODE.
AND YOU COULDN'T. I DON'T THINK THAT BE. PEOPLE WOULD GET ON BOARD WITH THAT, MAYBE LIKE A SELECT FEW THAT'S LIKE REALLY INTO IT. BUT ACROSS THE BOARD. I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S GONNA SCANNER CURE, BUT THE WATERMELON BOTTLE FILLING STATIONS, BUT DEFINITELY BECAUSE OKAY, DO YOU THINK SO? ONE OF THE OPTIONS. THIS SECOND OPTION DOWN IS GROUP REWARDS AND SAYS, OFFER POINT BASED OR DRAW BASED REWARDS. UM SO LIKE IF EVERY TIME THEY SCANNED. THEY COULD LIKE, GET A POINT TOWARDS COMPETENCE, GETTING A GIFT CARD OR A COMPETITION AND YOU COULD WIN SOMETHING. WOULD THAT BE MOTIVATING? PROBABLY MORE. YEAH HOW DOES THE SKINNING WORK? YOU HAVE TO DO IT YOURSELF OFF YOUR PHONE. YEAH DO IT YOURSELF OFF YOUR PHONE, AND THEN I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW FROM THAT POINT ON THIS LIKE FROM THE APP. IT WORKS INTEGRATED SOMEHOW. YOU CAN SEE IN OUR BUILDING. WE HAVE , UH, REUSABLE WATER BELT STATIONS. AND THE KIDS ARE PRETTY GOOD ABOUT USING THEM. REALLY BUT YOU KNOW IF THERE WERE SOME SORT OF COMPETITION OR INCENTIVE, LIKE WE HAVE FOUR WINGS IN THE BUILDING YOU KNOW, EACH WING IS COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER WHO CAN DO IT THE MOST, BUT SO IT WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO TAKE THEIR WATER BOTTLE AND YOU KNOW, I HAVE PHONES DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. BUT LIKE MM HMM. BAG FILL IT. YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME LOGISTICS, I GUESS THERE BUT IT ON YOUR HIGH SCHOOL. THEY WOULD IF THEY KNEW
[00:45:01]
THE CONTEXT. CONCERNED THAT HE'S WRITING. YEAH THEY ALREADY DO. WHICH BUILDING IS IN NEED OF FILLING STATIONS THE MOST TO DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS? IT HASN'T IN EVERY WAY, SO HAS A FEW HELP YOU YOU'RE NOT A NEIGHBOR, YOU SCHOOL, RICHARD. NOT ENOUGH FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL UP HERE. I DON'T KNOW. ANYONE USED TO VOLUNTEER THERE. OKAY AND I THINK THE HIGH SCHOOL HAS THREE, OKAY? HMM SO, YEAH, AND ONE OF MY BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN AN EX OF MINE PROGRAM WITH MR KRAMER AND SAWYER'S, UM THAT I THINK DOING THE HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH IS A FANTASTIC IDEA. IT'S GONNA TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT BECAUSE GETTING THEM IN THE CAFETERIA AREA SO THAT SOMEONE CAN WHILE THEY'RE HAVING A MEAL, BECAUSE THAT'S THE THING WE POP UP AGAINST HIS.I CAN'T GO. TO WIN AGED TO GO GET MY WATER BOTTLE HAVING LUNCH RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE I THINK THE WIND AND THE SCHOOLS IS NOT GOING TO BE REDUCING THE BOTTLES , BUT IT'S ASKING THEM TO LIKE COME UP WITH A PLAN TO ELIMINATE I TO ME IS THERE'S ONE IN LIKE, TWO. NOW. MAYBE MIGRATING WORKED FANTASTIC. AND I THINK I THINK IT'S ENCOURAGING THAT THEY'RE INTERESTED IN PARTNERING WITH US, AND WE CAN DECIDE YOU KNOW WHICH BUILDING AND I DON'T KNOW WHICH LIKE THE GAME OF VACATION OF IT, WHICH WITH THAT WHICH AGE GROUP THAT WOULD WORK BEST WITH BUT THAT'S SOMETHING CERTAINLY WE COULD WORK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ON I'LL BE CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW THIS GOES. I WILL SHARE WITH YOU GUYS. MY SKEPTICISM. MAYBE ISN'T THE RIGHT WORD, BUT I'M HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF RESISTANCE TO THE BOTTLES INTO THE APP IN GENERAL. I THINK WHAT'S COMING UP FOR ME IS LISTENING TO KNOW WHAT TALK AND THINKING ABOUT JUST THIS CONSTANT MODE OF CONSUMPTION THAT WE'RE IN AND GETTING MORE AND LIKE THROWING IT ON THE GROUND AND BRIAN'S POINT.
EVERYBODY ALREADY HAS A BOTTLE. SO, UM TO MAKE BUYING SOMETHING AND HAVING ANOTHER THING LIKE UNNECESSARY. PART OF PARTICIPATING IN THE SIX SOMETHING ABOUT THAT DOESN'T SIT RIGHT WITH ME. IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T THINK IT'LL IT'LL WORK. IT'S THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ON THIS SIDE OF TRYING ANOTHER TACTIC IN THE SENSE OF THIS GAME IFICATION THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN GET PEOPLE TO DO THIS, OR IS THERE A WAY TO ACTUALLY APPEAL TO A SENSE OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE HOPE THAT THEY'RE GROWING INTO. AND TO SPEND THAT MONEY ON SOME SORT OF THING THAT SAYS, HEY, RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE WHICH YOU ARE. USE REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLES. YEAH. YEAH. THAT'S THAT'S WHERE MY HEART IS ON THIS, UM IT'S NOT THAT I'M OVERTLY OPPOSED TO IT. IT'S THAT I DON'T I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. IT IS DONE. IT'S NOT IN IT. YEAH I FEEL LIKE I FEEL LIKE THEY SEEN THAT THIS COULD BE USEFUL FOR IS EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE HEARD KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
AH FILLING STATIONS. COULD THIS POTENTIALLY IF THERE'S GOOD ACCEPTANCE IN USE OF IT. METRICS COULD BE USED TO SAY, LOOK IF WE HAD MORE WATER FILLING STATIONS , AND THAT WOULD BE YOU KNOW.
LENDS TO THE MEANS KIND OF THING IN TERMS OF USING THIS TO GET MORE. STATIONS WITHOUT THE STATION'S JUST ON THEIR OWN TRACK. LIKE ALL THE ONES I'VE EVER SEEN HER RIGHT? THAT'S TRUE . SAVED 100,000 WATER BOTTLES COULD BE WRONG. I ALSO JUST AS A PERSON. SOMEWHAT RESISTANT TO STUFF LIKE THIS IF THEY WORK, AND THAT'S THAT'S GOOD. I JUST I HAVE A HEALTHY SKEPTICISM ABOUT BUYING MORE THINGS AND GAME OF FIND LIFE WHEN THAT'S NOT THE WORLD THAT I PERSONALLY FEEL LIKE IT'S THE BEST WORLD TO BE LIVING IN. UM JUST A THOUGHT. ALSO I DON'T WANT TO SAY NO TO MONEY LIKE WE'LL TAKE IT. WE'LL USE IT, UM BUT IF WE HAVE TO CUT ANYWHERE IN OUR BUDGET, THAT WOULD BE A PLACE THAT FOR ME PERSONALLY ABOUT THE FIRST PLACE. WATER BOTTLES, DEFINITELY THE BOTTLES. AND I MEAN IN PAIN FOR THE APP, AND, AND I MEAN, I WOULD IF I WERE READING THE BUDGET, I WOULDN'T I WOULDN'T TAKE ALL THAT MONEY ALLOCATED TOWARDS SOMETHING ELSE. BUT COULD THERE BE MEDIA CREATE MORE CREATIVE WAY TO GET STUDENTS INVOLVED WITH THIS? LIKE SO MUCH OF THE GRANT. FOR ORGANIZATIONS FOR LANDSCAPING. COULD SOMETHING BE DONE? SAY HEY, STUDENTS.
THANK YOU, BUT GOOD EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN. I DON'T KNOW. IN A WAY TO MOTIVATE THEM TO MOTIVATE
[00:50:09]
OTHER STUDENTS, OR OR THEY WOULD BUILD THEM TO USE THAT GRANT MONEY. FOR ONE OF LIKE, FOUR OPTIONS OF SOMETHING THAT WORD DEBATING WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THE BOARD. I DON'T KNOW. WELL, CERTAINLY THIS I MEAN, NONE OF THIS HAS TO BE IN THE SPORTS PROPOSED BUDGET OR PIECES OF IT , OR WE COULD PUT IN, YOU KNOW, AN AMOUNT WITH HMM. YOU KNOW, WE PRICED OUT THE PHILIP FORWARD STUFF BECAUSE THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT CASEY WAS FAMILIAR WITH, BUT YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT BECOMES, UH YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST SUM TO BE DETERMINED PROJECT TO TRY TO HELP UM, YOU KNOW, REDUCE THE USE OF SINGLE USE PLASTIC BOTTLES, WHETHER IT'S I THINK WE DO IF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS INTERESTING AND PARTNERING INTERESTED IN PARTNERING, THERE PROBABLY IS A NICE WOULD BE NICE, TOO. TO WORK OUT A PARTNERSHIP THAT WERE PART OF IT, AND THEY'RE PART OF IT. AND MAY WE JUST YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONE IDEA, BUT MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER IDEA AND WE JUST BUDGET LIKE PLACEHOLDER TYPE AMOUNT. AND SEE WHAT WE CAN ALL COME UP WITH. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THIS AS A KIND OF PLAN B. IF WE THERE'S NO OTHER GOOD OPTIONS. YEAH, MAKES SENSE. AND FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. THIS MAY BE A GREAT IDEA AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH THE KIDS EVERY DAY ARE GOING TO COME TO THE TABLE AND SAY YEAH, EVERYBODY'S GONNA WANT TO DO THIS. THAT I'M JUST OLD AND FUNNY. SMART ENOUGH, SO THAT'S FINE, BUT NO, I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO WORK WITH THE TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE IT'S SUCCESSFUL AND I DON'T LIKE MAYBE YOUNGER KIDS WOULD BE MORE INTO IF THEY DO HAVE THEIR IPADS. THEN THE HIGH SCHOOLERS THAT ARE IT'S WHERE MY EXPERIENCE THAT'S WHERE YOU TRADITIONALLY GET THE RESPONSE. COMPOSTING PROGRAMS THE HIGH SCHOOL HAS BEEN LIKE YEAH, LITTLE KIDS. YEAH I GET TO DO THIS. YEAH CONTAINER FULL OF STUFF. YEAH. RIGHT RIGHT. LOST ALONG THE WAY SOMEWHERE AS WE GET. YEAH STARTS BEING LESS FUN.FORGET THAT. BUT THAT'S SORT OF WHERE I THINK THAT APPEALING TO THE FACT THAT EVERYBODY IS GROWING INTO A GOOD CITIZEN. AND YOU KNOW YOUR YOUNG ADULTS LIKE THIS. THIS IS ONE OF THE, UH GOOD FUNCTIONING ADULT AND SOCIETY DOES THINKS ABOUT PEOPLE AROUND THEM LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GET THAT RIGHT? DOESN'T HAVE TO PARLIAMENT AT THIS, BUT I THINK THIS PUBLIC ACCESS TO FILLING STATIONS. I DROVE BY BEVEL HEIMER YESTERDAY AND THERE'S ALL THIS FALL. PRACTICES GOING ON LIKE. I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW MANY CASES OF WATER ARE GETTING HOLD OF THOSE THINGS AND KIDS ARE BEING ASKED TO BRING THAT, BUT IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, LONG TERM. I THINK IT'S JUST FIGURING OUT WHERE WE CAN ESTABLISHED SOME OF THOSE THINGS, AND I'M HAPPY THAT BOYS , CROSS COUNTRY BOYS AND GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL THERE. UNDER A NEW OLD HEAD COACH WAS BAD COACH MADE A BIG DEAL LIKE I'M GOING TO USE WATER JUGS, AND WE'RE TAKING THOSE PRACTICES AND NEEDS START BRINGING WATER BOTTLES. AFTER MY WIFE BOUGHT FOUR CASES OF WATER PARKS, BUT WE'LL DO SOMETHING PERSONAL. WE WON'T BURN THOSE IN THE BACKYARD. RIGHT. THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE PEOPLE ARE DOING IT, AND SO I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A PIECE OF ONCE WE CAN GET DOWN THIS ROAD TRYING TO FIND SOME CHAMPIONS. YOU SHOULD GET SOME CONTRACTION. AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A STUDENT ON OUR BOARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT RIGHT? UM OKAY. SO THE LAST FOUR THINGS I WANTED TO MENTION, UM THE FIRST BEING THE PUMPKIN COLLECTION AND COMPOSTING OF THOSE PUMPKINS. U, UM RAMPY, TOO. DROP OFF IT. CALLED THE 20 YARD HOLLER. IT'S ACTUALLY ONLY 20 FT. LONG. UM AND THEN TAKE IT TO THE LONDON. COMPOSTING FACILITY. UM. FOR ABOUT FIVE WEEKS AFTER STARTING LIKE THE DAY AFTER TRICK OR TREAT AND THEN GOING THROUGH THANKSGIVING. DECEMBER, 2ND. UM AND THAT WOULD BE FOR THIS YEAR AND SO WE'RE WE'LL START IT THIS YEAR, BUT THEN ALSO CARRY IT FORWARD INTO THE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR. AND THEN WE ALSO WANTED TO THROW AS ADRIAN MENTIONED THROUGH IN SOME MONEY FOR A PR CAMPAIGN, WHETHER THAT BE TO POSTCARD MAILERS. OR. IF WE DON'T WANT TO ADD MORE PAPER OUT THERE THAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING MORE DIGITAL. UM BUT WE WANTED
[00:55:10]
TO PUT A PLACEHOLDER FOR THE FOR PR PURPOSES OUT THERE. UM AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO NOTE TO OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT WE DID THIS PAST YEAR THAT DIDN'T REQUIRE ANY MONEY, BUT WE DID THEM. THE FARMERS MARKET WAS FREE FOR US BECAUSE WE'RE A GOVERNMENT ENTITY, UM AND THEN SUSTAINABLE 2050 CERTIFICATION, WHICH IS COMING LATER THIS MONTH. UM YEAH. GIVE US THE SCOOP. IT'S GOING TO BE BEFORE THE SUSTAINABLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. SEE, I THINK AT THE END OF THIS MONTH AND IT'S GEARED TOWARDS SILVER. I BELIEVE SO. YEAH. MHM. THAT'S GREAT.THAT'S A GREAT START. YEAH, YEAH. UM OKAY, AND THAT'S THE WRONG KEYBOARD. SO THEN THIS IS A SUMMARY OF ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS. AND UM THEY'RE BROKEN DOWN COSTS. TOTAL AND TOTAL.
EVERYTHING IS 85,000. APPROXIMATELY THIS YEAR WE HAVE SPENT ABOUT 30,000 IN COSTS. AND THAT THE BULK OF THAT WAS GO ZERO AND COMPOSTING. WE ALSO BUILT THE ENCLOSURES FOR ABOUT $7000. UM WE DID IT EARTH DAY EVENTS, INCLUDING SIGNAGE AND E WASTE. PICK UP UM, AND THEN FALL COMPOSTING THIS YEAR. UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF IF YOU'RE COMPARING COSTS. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. I GUESS GENERAL THOUGHTS. JUST A QUESTION, ACTUALLY PROCESSED QUESTION. IF THIS WERE TO JUST IF WE JUST SENT THIS IN AS IS AND IT WAS PASSED AND APPROVED WITH ME, THEN BE LIKE BOUND TO DOING YOU KNOW? EVERYTHING ON HERE EXACTLY , OR IS THERE LIKE FLEXIBILITY KIND OF MID YEAR? YOU'RE LIKE, OKAY NOW I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND UNDER BUDGET IN THIS AND SO THAT I'M GOING TO SPEND IT ON THIS OTHER THING THAT I NEVER EVEN YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION THERE IS THAT FLEXIBILITY AND ARE THE WAY THEY JUST START BUDGET WORKS AND OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT WORKS. THERE'D BE FLEXIBILITY AND IN DOING THAT COUNT THAT THIS WOULD BE IN I THINK THAT'S YOU KNOW UP TO THE BOARD'S DISCRETION. I THINK IF YOU KNOW WHATEVER ULTIMATELY, CITY COUNCIL APPROVES, IF THERE'S YOU KNOW, A SIGNIFICANT DEVIATION, WE WOULD JUST REPORT BACK TO THEM. WHY WE MADE A CHANGE OR WHY WE WEREN'T DOING SOMETHING. I THINK I WAS. I MEAN, OF COURSE. THANK YOU SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE THOUGHT FORWARD LIKE LET'S SAY WE DID SEND THIS, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WE DID IT GREAT OR PART WAY THROUGH THE YEAR WERE LIKE, OH, NO, WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT. WE'RE GONNA DO THIS OTHER THING THAT'S LIKE SIMILAR BUT GETS THE SAME PDF YEAH. YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD BE FINE. UM YOU KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING IF IT'S IF A CHANGE IS MADE THAT WOULD HAVE A BUDGET IMPACT. WE USUALLY HAVE A MID YEAR APPROPRIATION AS WELL.
AND SO THAT'S A BUDGET APPROPRIATION THAT IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO COUNCIL AND SAY. WE THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE $10,000. IT'S GOING TO BE , YOU KNOW, 20, OR, YOU KNOW, EVERY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WE HAVE GOING ON RIGHT NOW IS EXPERIENCING THOSE THINGS. UM SO THERE IS THERE IS OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADJUSTMENT. I THINK WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COMMUNICATING BACK TO COUNSEL WITH THE YOU KNOW THAT THAT SUPPORT IS DOING WHAT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO DO. AND THEN, IF CHANGES ARE MADE, JUST COMMUNICATE THAT AND THEN TO THE BUDGET IS THIS EVERYONE HAS PROPOSED ARE GIVEN TO COUNSEL. IS THERE ANY JUSTIFICATION ALONG WITH IT LIKE WE SPENT $30,000. AND WE'RE VERY. SUCCESSFUL FOR FOOD WASTE PROGRAM, AND SO BASED ON THAT SUCCESS, WE THINK WE CAN INCREASE THE BANDWIDTH. THERE'S IS THERE ANY YES. SO WHAT HAPPENS AT THE BUDGET HEARING? UM THE THERE'S USUALLY TWO BUDGET HEARINGS, BUT ONE IS LIKE AN ALL DAY THING. AND EACH DEPARTMENT WILL PRESENT THEIR BUDGET SO I WILL PRESENT THIS BUDGET WILL PROBABLY SHOW THEM. THE DASHBOARD. YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE OF A ACCOMPLISHMENTS WHAT WE HAVE DONE. YOU KNOW THESE ARE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE PRIORITIES. SO IT'S WE CAN DEMONSTRATE. WE'RE NOT JUST LIKE PICKING THINGS OUT OF THE AIR LIKE THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID LAST YEAR YOU WANTED TO DO THIS IS WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO WORK ON NEXT YEAR, AND THAT WOULD ALL COME OUT THROUGH THE BUDGET HEARING AND THEN CASEY AS THE BOARD LIAISON, ALSO AWAY IN ON THAT AS WELL. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I THINK IT JUST CUTS SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 10TH. BUT I CAN CONFIRM THAT. AND JUST ANOTHER CLARIFICATION. QUESTION ABOUT
[01:00:05]
THE EARTH DAY AND ARBOR DAY ACTIVITIES. WHO ARE THE OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS? FOR THAT? I WAS UNDERSTANDING LIKE WE COULD BE INVOLVED WITH SPONSORED THIS, BUT THEN THEY'RE POTENTIALLY BE MORE INVOLVEMENT WITH HIM. SO HEALTHY NEW ALBANY WOULD BE A PARTNER. UM SORRY. UM, AND ARBITRARY CARE COMPANY PRIVATE PRIME SPONSORED. YEAH I THINK I THINK WE'RE CONSIDERING UM. LIKE I THINK THE CITY WILL HOST THE WEEK. WITH HEALTHY NEW ALBANY AS A PARTNER. IT'S JUST HOW I MEAN, HOW MUCH THE BOARD WANTS TO DISSIPATE AND BE A PART OF THE WHOLE WEEK VERSUS JUST THE DRIVES THE WASTE COLLECTION. DO WE HAVE A DATE YET? ON THAT WEEK WHEN HIS BIRTHDAY SO I THINK, APRIL 20TH TO APRIL 27TH. IS THAT RIGHT? CLOSE. I THINK IN GENERAL LOOKS REALLY GOOD. I MEAN, I THINK IT IS KIND OF COOL TO SEE ALL THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON OVER, HOPING TO WORK ON. CAN YOU KNOW? I MEAN, I THINK LIKE SOME OF IT, THIS SEEMS OBVIOUSLY, WE WANT TO KEEP IT GOING COMPOSTING PROGRAM. I THINK THAT YOU THE E WASTE OBVIOUSLY WAS SUPER POPULAR. YOU KNOW IF WE CAN AFFORD THE HAZARDOUS WASTE THAT'S A BIG NUMBER, BUT DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE POPULAR AS WELL? ESPECIALLY IF WE COULD COMBINE THOSE? I KNOW I GOT A BUNCH OF PAINT CANS IN MY BASEMENT. I'D LOVE TO GET RID OF EARTH DAY. I DON'T THINK IT'S A BIG NUMBER.YOU KNOW, I LOVE THE IDEA OF WATER. REFILL STATION. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT LOCATION ON THAT. BUT SO, YEAH. I MEAN, I THINK THE ONLY ONE LIKE CATHERINE SAME PHILIP FORDE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF CONSENSUS ON THAT. MAYBE WE COULD EVEN CHANGE THAT. LINE NAME OR SOMETHING LIKE SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP, OR I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LEANING TOWARD. OR, UM, EDUCATION.
PLASTIC WASTE EDUCATION OR SOMETHING, BUT OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT MAKES LICENSE.
I'D LOVE TO SEE THE LANDSCAPING AND INVASIVE TREES THAT LINE AND GET BIGGER. EVENTUALLY, YOU KNOW IF WE HAVE SOME BIGGER PROJECTS, BUT YOU KNOW FOR FIRST YEAR AND THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. ATTEMPTED TO JUST PULL UP THE EXCEL SHEET. I CAN FIDGET WITH NUMBERS DIRECTLY . YEAH, WE COULD DO THAT. YEAH I THINK WE COULD DEFINITELY RENAME THAT AND THEN IF THERE'S A DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT YOU GUYS OBVIOUSLY SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO ESTIMATE SOMETHING WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS YET, BUT WE COULD MAYBE WE TAKE HALF THAT NUMBER AND UH, START. START TALKING TO THE SCHOOLS AND SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT? HOW COULD WE PARTNER AND HOW COULD WE INCENTIVIZE SOMETHING? IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE AN ACT EVEN, UM WE HAVE THIS DASHBOARD. WE SHOWED YOU THE COMPOSTING DASHBOARD. WE HAVE SOME CAPABILITIES OF DOING THAT KIND OF STUFF. I DON'T THINK IT'S AS EXTENSIVE AS THE PHILIP FORWARD APP. BUT THERE'S PROBABLY SOME OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE COULD EXPLORE THERE. DO YOU KNOW IF THERE'S EPA SCHOOL GRANTS? THERE'S LIKE A MATCHING PIECE TO IT. IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU NEED TO HAVE BUDGETED FOR THEM, TOO. I SO FOR SOME REASON. UH WELL, I THINK IT'S MAX 10,000 PER DISTRICT. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A MAX NUMBER OF HER LIKE FOR A BUILDING. IT'S LIKE JUST AN INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL BUILDING WAS APPLYING. YOU'RE APPLYING A DISTRICT LEVEL. I THINK IT WAS $10,000. I DON'T REMEMBER A MATRIC WIRE MINT. ACTUALLY. UM.
BUT WE COULD LOOK INTO THAT AND SEE PETE'S IDEA. SWITCHING. MHM DOLLAR AMOUNT BUT ALSO THE FOR WAS IT HELPING? YEAH POSSIBLY FOR THAT GRANT, OKAY? YEAH, I'D BE HAPPY TO SEE YOU KNOW THOSE OF US WHO WORK AT SCHOOLS, AND I'M SURE WE'D BE HAPPY TO SIT WITH YOU GUYS, IF YOU MEET WITH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON EVERY BUILDING SO WHAT THE HIGH SCHOOL NEEDS IS DIFFERENT WHAT WE NEED BUT IF YOU NEED YOUR HELP ON HAVING YOUNG PEOPLE. JUST THAT HE IS IN A STATE B P A OR THE FEDERAL OHIO? YEP. OKAY, EVERY EXPLORERS ARE FEDERAL. AVAILABILITY OF SIMILAR KIND OF THING. YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T EXPLORED THAT. YOU KNOW, THIS MAY BE FEDERAL MONEY THAT'S JUST PASSED THROUGH THE STATE. I'M NOT REALLY SURE. UM YEAH LEGISLATORS THAT MIGHT, THAT MIGHT BE HOW IT GOES. BUT WE CAN LOOK INTO THE MATTER
[01:05:08]
REQUIREMENT CERTAINLY BEFORE IF YOU GUYS WANT TO SET A DOLLAR AMOUNT, SO IT'S 5000 PER SCHOOL 10,000 PER SCHOOL DISTRICT, 12 MONTHS TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL THE EQUIPMENT AND 100% REIMBURSEMENT. YEAH SO THAT'S GREAT. THAT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. MAYBE TWO. THAT EDUCATIONAL PIECE LIKE PEOPLE SAYING WOULD BE A GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR THAT LINE ITEM. NO BOLSTER THEIR APPLICATION MEETING. OR EVEN NOT JUST MOVING FORWARD. SO WE'RE BASICALLY NUMBER 27,000. WERE COMBINED EFFORT. WHICH SOUNDS LIKE MORE REALLY? MAKE SURE I WAS READING WAS TOO YEAH, WITH THAT SCENE, RIGHT? YOU JUST I KNOW WE STARTED THE SOFTWARE. MY QUESTION IS WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO WALK IN. RA LAUGHED OFF THE STAGE FOR 85,000. YEAH. BE. BUT IF YOU SAID THAT THERE WAS START AT 85 OFF 27,000 WHATEVER. I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT YOU THINK WOULD BE REASONABLE. AND ALSO KIND OF PUSHING THE LIMITS IN A HEALTHY MANNER. YEAH. YOU KNOW, I THINK HI. I WOULDN'T. BEING THE PERSON THAT WILL BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL. I WOULDN'T LOOK AT HIM IN THE SAME. NO RIGHT. I WOULD SIT UP THERE. I WOULD STAND UP THERE AND I THINK WE CAN JUSTIFY AN $85,000 BUDGET . UM I'M NOT SURE THAT WILL. IT WOULD STAY. I MEAN, THERE'S TYPICALLY KIND OF UH, OKAY? PARING DOWN, YOU KNOW, I THINK IF WE'VE SPENT 30 AND WE'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL, CERTAINLY THAT LIKE 60 SPOTS SEEMS PRETTY REASONABLE TO ME. AND THAT'S JUST KIND OF I CAN'T GUARANTEE ANYTHING OVER TO LIKE 85 KNOWING THAT 85 KNOWING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE 65 SAY OKAY, UNCLE. I THINK WE COULD DO THAT. I THINK WE PROBABLY WANT TO AND WE CAN WE CAN DO SOME OF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD PROBABLY DO SOME OF THIS IN OUR OCTOBER MEETING BECAUSE THAT WILL BE BEFORE THE BUDGET MEETING. WE PROBABLY SHOULD TRY TO DEFINE THIS. $27,000 NUMBER A LITTLE BIT BETTER. IF WE'RE GONNA YOU KNOW IT'S A WOULD BE THE LARGEST LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET. UM, AND SO I THINK MAYBE THAT WOULD WE COULD JUST WORK FROM NOW UNTIL THE OCTOBER MEETING AND SEE WHAT WE CAN YOU KNOW BETTER TO FIND THAT SO WE COULD JUSTIFY IT GOING FORWARD. OKAY ANYTHING BE AND NOW YOU MENTIONED THAT THE SUSTAINABLE SUSTAINABLE ACTION PLAN. NOT DISCUSSED. COULD THAT BE SOMETHING DISCUSSED FOR SOME FUNDING, AS LIKE. EXPLORATORY. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW. JUST TIME. YEAH I MEAN, I THINK IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THAT ACTION PLAN WOULD LOOK LIKE, UM I MEAN, I DON'T IF WE WERE HIRING CONSULTANT TO DO A PLAN LIKE THAT, I THINK WE'D PROBABLY BE LOOKING AT SIX DIGITS OR MORE TO DO THAT SORT OF EFFORT. IF WE REALLY WE WERE LOOKING AT BENCHMARK METRICS AND ALL THAT. THAT KIND OF STUFF SO I'M NOT SURE THAT WOULD GET US THERE.IT'S KIND OF LIKE 5000 SLUSHY AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR ADDING THAT THAT'S GOING TO ASK YOU THAT. I HAD 5000 IN MY HEAD ALREADY LIKE THAT 5000 FIGURES SOMEPLACE. FOR SOME FLEXIBILITY. I SAY. KEEP IT AS IT IS. AND YEAH, IF WE HAVE TO CUT I THINK EVERYBODY'S I'M WE'RE WITH CUTTING THE WATER BOTTLES. AND YOU COULD ALWAYS MAKE SIGNS DIRECTING PEOPLE TO WESTERVILLE DUMPER HAZARDOUS WASTE QUESTIONS THAT'S TRUE WORK FREE. REALLY SURLY? YEAH SO WE WILL COMBINE. THE OUT. DOOR WATER FOUNTAIN REFILL STATION LINE ITEM IN THE PHILIP FORDE APP AND PRODUCTS LINE ITEM INTO ONE THAT'S NAMED SOMETHING LIKE SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS, PLASTIC WASTE EDUCATION. AND THEN, UM.
WELL, AND CERTAINLY YOU GUYS MAKE A MOTION TO ENDORSE THIS. AND THEN MAYBE AN ITEM NEXT MONTH ON THIS AGENDA IS TO DELVE INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. AND SO, YOU GUYS HAVE A MONTH TO THINK ABOUT SOME IDEAS AND LOOK AT WE'LL LOOK AT SOME CASE STUDIES SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. SO
[01:10:03]
IF YOU WHENEVER YOU'RE READY TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSED BUDGET FROM STAFF OF 85 6 20. SECOND. MR XI LOCKER? YES. MISS GALINDO? YES. MR PHIL YATRA? YES, MISS DUFFY? YES. MR BRIANS? YES. MOTION PASSES. HE LOVES YOUR FIRST ANNUAL WORK PROGRAM. THIS IS REALLY I MEAN, I KIND OF LIKE BUDGETING STUFF, BUT I THINK IT'S FUN TO KNOW LIKE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON NEXT YEAR. IT'S REALLY COOL TO SEE WHAT WHAT WE'VE DONE. I WOULD AGREE. I MEAN, WE WERE TALKING EARLIER TODAY. LAST NOVEMBER WAS YOUR FIRST MEETING AND THAT WAS ALL THE LEGAL STUFF AND SO AND 10 MONTHS TIME. THAT'S QUITE A LOT TO ACCOMPLISH. MAYBE CAROLYN'S WAS ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING. SPICY THAT MAYBE COULD WE REVISIT THE STRATEGIC SUSTAINABILITY CHAPTER TO SEE. PRIORITIES ARE STILL. THE ONE THROUGH 58 DIMENSION, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MIGHT BE TOO MUCH. BUT JUST YEAH, WE CAN. UM IF IT IF IT DOESN'T WORK NEXT MONTH. WE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE A REVISIT THAT ON A FUTURE AGENDA. I THINK, UM ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO DO. TOWARDS THE END OF THIS YEAR IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, MAYBE ONCE WE HAVE A SENSE OF WHERE THE BUDGET IS GOING IS TO START LAYOUT LIKE A WORK PLAN FROM A CALENDAR STANDPOINT, BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO START WORKING ON THE EARTH DATA ARBOR DAY IN THE WAIST DRIVES. NOW.ALL RIGHT TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR, BECAUSE WE DID THAT REALLY , REALLY FAST LAST YEAR, AND WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING. SO I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IN A LITTLE BIT BETTER FOR THAT, ESPECIALLY, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THREE DIFFERENT YOU KNOW, TYPES OF WASTE THAT WE'RE TAKING, UM BUT, YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO KIND OF PLAY IN THESE THINGS OUT FOR YEARS. STAYING POINTS TO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO BOARD AS A BOARD WHAT YOU'RE WORKING ON AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE EVERYTHING FROM LIKE THE PR CAMPAIGN AND WHAT TOPICS IN WHAT METHODS DO YOU WANT TO USE? UM TO WRITING THE YOU KNOW GRANT APPLICATION FOR THE SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPING , SO THAT'S ONE THING WILL HELP TO DO FOR YOU, AND I THINK WE CAN REVISIT THE PRIORITIES AS WELL. I WAS JUST SEEING IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THE BUDGET B R. ROAD MAP, RIGHT? IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO HAVE, LIKE, JUST QUICK REFRESHER ON SOME OF THAT WAY. WE CAN SEE WHAT KIND OF SPEAKS BETTER. TO THE COUNCIL GIVEN YEAH. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. WE'RE BREAKING UP. AND THAT'S ACTUALLY A GREAT SEGUE BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO START ASKING AT THE END OF EVERY MEETING. IF YOU GUYS HAVE AGENDA ITEMS FOR THE NEXT MEETING WILL HAVE THIS WORK PLAN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. BUT IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT COME UP THAT YOU WANT TO DISCUSS. UM YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO PLAN A MONTH IN ADVANCE. SO THAT'S OH, YEAH, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADMIRE THIS BEAUTIFUL PHOTO OF TAILORED FARM TAKEN THIS WEEK. ADRIAN DIDN'T KNOW I WAS THROWING IT IN THERE, BUT I THREW IT IN THERE. UM OUR FEARLESS LEADERS ADRIAN AND MIKE EVERYTHING THROUGH TAYLOR FARM ONE MORE TIME. THAT WAS JUST MONDAY. SEEN SOME OF THE TREES GROWING, TOO. THERE'S YEAH, THEY'RE STARTING. IS THERE ANY

WE COULD DO THAT. THANK YOU. YEAH, I'LL MAKE THAT JUST 23. 23123 REALLY TRY TO GO ONCE. THANK YOU. IS THAT SORRY. I'M WALLOWING IN FRONT OF THE WAY TO ASK THIS, RIGHT, UM IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT? MORE BROAD TERMS LIKE SHOULD WE BE GENETIC? COMMUNITY AN OPEN INVITATION FOR PEOPLE WITH THE HEIGHT CENTER OR SOMEPLACE ELSE. TO INVITE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND TO GET AN OVERVIEW. YEAH I MEAN, I'M ALL FOR DOING SMALL GROUPS, BUT IT'S LIKE YEAH. I MEAN, THAT COULD BE PART OF THAT PR STRATEGY DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE LIKE IT COULD BE SOME OTHER SORT OF OUTREACH CAMPAIGN. I THINK, UM AND WHETHER THAT'S JUST PUTTING ON OUR OWN. EVENT OR SPEAKER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR PARTNERING WITH UM, HEALTHY NEW ALBANY E. I THINK THAT COULD BE ALL PART OF THAT TYPE OF OUTREACH CAMPAIGN BECAUSE I WAS CURIOUS THAT THE CITY OF WHEN ALL THE SURVEY THAT WAS DONE AND THAT ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS IF THERE WAS BUILT IN REENGAGEMENT MEETINGS INTO THE PLANT. HERE'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO, AND DONE IS SUPPOSED TO IT JUST COMING THROUGH AN EMAIL, RIGHT? WE USUALLY EVERY FIVE YEARS, WHICH IT SEEMS TO COME UP FASTER THAN FIVE YEARS SOUNDS. WE REDO THAT STRATEGIC PLAN AND THEN EVERY TWO YEARS WE DO CALLED A COMMUNITY ATTITUDES SURVEY. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU GOT IT THIS YEAR. IT'S A PHONE SURVEY. IT'S A STATISTICALLY VALID SURVEYS. THAT'S WHY THEY USE THE PHONE, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE TO MAKE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CALLS MORE THAN WHAT THEY GET. BUT IT IS DONE SO IT WAS OUR MOST RECENT ONE WAS DONE THIS YEAR.IT ASKED THE SAME QUESTION. AND SEVERAL AREAS. WE ASKED THE SAME QUESTIONS EACH YEAR SO WE CAN TRACK OVER TIME WITH THOSE RESPONSES ARE UM AND THE ACTUALLY THE RESULTS OF THAT SURVEY. THE SURVEY COMPANY IS COMING TO THE SEPTEMBER 20TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING. TO PRESENT THOSE RESULTS SO YOU CAN ATTEND OR YOU COULD STREAM IT. I AND IT ACTUALLY IS REALLY INTERESTING.
IT'S REALLY INTERESTING TO HEAR THE COMPANY COME IN AND TALK ABOUT THEIR PROCESS. THEY AIM TO HIT THE EXACT SAME, UM KIND OF DEMO. GRAPHIC PROFILE. AS WHAT ARE VOTING WARDS ARE AND THEY'RE ABLE TO GET LIKE WITHIN. 10TH OF A PERCENT. I MEAN, IT'S VERY ACCURATE, AND IT'S A GOOD KIND OF EVERY OTHER YEAR GAUGE OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY WHERE THE RESIDENTS THINK ABOUT THE COMMUNITY. GOOD. I JUST BE LOOKING FORWARD INVESTMENT, RESPONSIBLE SECRECY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. WORKED AND BEING DONE. THINK OF SOMETHING YOU BROUGHT UP MEANS TO GO REGARDING THE BUDGET. EXPANSION INTO BUSINESSES OR RESTAURANTS. FOR THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT REQUIRES LIKE THE COUNCIL. POLICY ORDINANCE FOR THAT OCCUR, BUT IS THERE ANY WAY THAT KIND OF SWEETEN IT TO MAKE SURE TO GET THEM TO COME ON BOARD FOR THE END OF ITS DISCUSS BUDGET NORTHERN HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT FOR THE COMPOSTING PROGRAM. UM. YEAH, WE COULD THINK THROUGH HOW TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN? CERTAINLY. I DON'T. I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, I'M NOT SURE IT FEELS LIKE IT'S A DIFFERENT NET, BUT I'D LIKE TO KEEP TO KEEP. YEAH TARGET THINGS THAT THAT APPOINTMENT STRATEGIC . PLEASE THEM DOWN. YEAH, IT'S NOT A CHECK THIS CONTINUITY.
YEAH WE COULD PROVIDE, UM SOME INFORMATION AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IT MYSELF AS WELL. SO COMMERCIAL COMPANIES JUST CONTRACT PRIVATELY FOR THEIR OWN. YOU KNOW, TRASH PICKUP.
IT'S NOT DONE THROUGH LIKE WE DO IT ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE, WHICH IS THIS COMMUNITY CONTRACT
[01:20:06]
THAT SETS RATES? SO THERE'S PROBABLY SOME INFORMATION TOGETHER AND RESEARCH TO DO TO SEE HOW YOU COULD ACCOMPLISH THAT. BUT YEAH, I THINK FROM A TARGET STANDPOINT AND STARTING TO TRY TO FIGURE THAT OUT, THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD WORK ON. HMM DO THIS BRIGHT TO RECOMMEND POLICY ORDINANCE THAT HANDY MAINLY RESTAURANTS TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, LIKE, SAY, YOU HAVE TO DO YOU HAVE TO SEPARATE ORGANICS AND GETTING PICKED UP IS THAT AND AGAIN. I'M JUST I MEAN, I THINK YOU KNOW, AND IN THEORY, ANY CITY ANY ELECTED BODY COULD SET THAT POLICY. UM I WILL SAY. LIKE. THOSE DISCUSSIONS HAVEN'T LIKE STARTED YET. HERE IN NEW ALBANY.UM AND I THINK MAYBE THERE'S ALSO A WAY TO LOOK AT INCENTIVIZING THINGS INSTEAD OF MANDATING THAT IF YOU KNOW IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO UNDERSTAND. IF COMMUNITIES ARE DOING THIS, AND IF THEY'RE DOING IT WELL, LIKE HOW THEY'VE ACHIEVED IT. AND MAYBE IT'S LIKE IF THERE'S A GEOGRAPHIC BASIS OF IT TO, YOU KNOW, LIKE WHERE DO YOU START? AND CAN YOU PARTNER WITH SOMEONE? AND THEN MAYBE IT GROWS FROM THERE. YOU CAN. YEAH, YOU COULD HAVE LIKE WE HAVE OUR WORK PROGRAM, BUT KIND OF THE BIGGER PICTURE THINGS. YOU KNOW, WE COULD. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT AND AN AGENDA. WE COULD DO THAT RESEARCH AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU AT A MEETING. MONEY, EVEN IF YOU KNOW THE CASE STUDY OF A COMMUNITY THAT HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF ENGAGING.
BUSINESSES. UM. LIKE YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO PRESENT THOSE FINDINGS TO, UM YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME THAT. RIGHT ANY OTHER BUSINESS OR COMMENTS OR ANYTHING ELSE PEOPLE LIKE TO DISCUSS TONIGHT. YEAH I MOVED TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. THEN AT 7 57. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND ALL IN FAVOR.
