I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU PUT IT IN TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EFFORT TO TRACK DOWN INFORMATION GATHERING FORMACION ASK QUESTIONS, AND I THINK THAT'S WHY WE'RE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE SILVER SET STATUS. THANK YOU. GOOD JOB. IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY BECAUSE AT THE MEETING, THEY KEPT DIGGING UP THE SPREADSHEET, BUT I HAD TO, LIKE FINAGLE IN ORDER TO DOCUMENT WHAT POINTS WE HAVE, AND THEY'RE LIKE THIS IS JUST IRONICALLY, THE BEST SPREADSHEET TO EVER EXIST, BUT NOT REALLY. THEY'RE WORKING ON IT. IT'S ROUGH. HMM.GREAT. OKAY SO JUMPING RIGHT BACK INTO YEAH, UM TWO. THE BUDGET SUMMARY THAT WE PUT TOGETHER LAST MONTH. WE WANTED TO REVISIT. THE. APPROXIMATELY 27,000 THAT WE HAD ALLOCATED FOR THE OUTDOOR WATER FOUNTAIN. OR WATER BOTTLE REFILLING STATION AS WELL AS THE FUNDS FOR THE PHILIP FORWARD APP. IT SEEMED AS A WHOLE. WORK OVERLY ENTHUSED BY THE PHILIP FORWARD APP, ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. UM AND WILLIE HAD BROUGHT UP THAT THE APP. SHE WASN'T QUITE SURE THAT STUDENTS WOULD BE REALLY EAGER TO USE AN APP. UM AND SO TODAY, I MET WITH SOME TEACHERS AND THE PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL AND WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT WHAT WOULD STUDENTS BE INTERESTED IF WE WERE TO PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOLS? WHAT WOULD THAT THEY. I WANT TO PURSUE AND WHAT WOULD STUDENTS BE MORE LIKE INTERESTED IN AND DOING AND SO. THE SCHOOL WILL. FIRST I BROUGHT UP THE HYYPIA GRANTS WHERE WE CAN, UM I THINK AS CITY STAFF, WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO THE STUDENTS TO WORK WITH THEM AS WELL AS SO WE'LL WORK WITH LILY. SHE'S UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB AS WELL AS OTHER STUDENTS TO UM. THEY KIND OF WANTED THE STUDENTS TO LEAD THAT EFFORT. IN TERMS OF APPLYING FOR THE GRANDPA. WE WOULD WORK WITH MR SCHWINN IN AS WELL. HE'S ONE OF THOSE SCIENCE TEACHERS. TO APPLY FOR THAT, BUT
[00:05:01]
THEN IN TERMS OF WHAT TYPES OF OTHER PROJECTS WOULD MAYBE REPLACE THE PHILIP FORWARD, APP? UM THEY KIND OF THEY. THEY SAID . OUR STUDENTS HAVE SUCH GREAT IDEAS. UM AND THEY'VE ONLY HAD ONE MEETING SO FAR THIS YEAR WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB, BUT THEY THINK THAT THEY SAID THAT THE THEIR CLASSROOMS FULL OF STUDENTS WHO CAME TO THIS MEETING AND SO LIKE OUR STUDENTS ARE FULL OF REALLY GOOD IDEAS. I THINK THAT IF YOU GAVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAYBE PITCH A PROJECT AND PROVIDE THEIR OWN. SORT OF, UM LIKE PLANS. FOR SOME FUNDS. THAT'S THAT'S THE HARD PART IS THE FUNDING. AND SO IF WE COULD USE THIS MONEY TO POTENTIALLY FIND A PROJECT OF INTEREST FOR THE STUDENTS, UM, PROVIDE THEM EITHER A GENERAL CATEGORY OF WHETHER WE WANT TO REDUCE PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES. ALRIGHT JUST GENERALLY DIVERT WASTE FROM THE LANDFILL OR SOMETHING ELSE. WE COULD PROVIDE THAT AND THEN THEY COULD COME UP WITH A PROJECT THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO THEM IN THEIR CONTEXT. UM, SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF WHAT THE TEACHERS AND PRINCIPAL HAD TO SAY. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ALL FEEL ABOUT THAT, UM MHM. I'M CURIOUS IN MEETING WITH HIM, DID WE EVER GET VALIDATION AND HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL? CURRENTLY, THE BOTTLE FILLERS. UM THAT'S I DID NOT ASK . SPECIFICALLY THEY SAID THAT THERE ARE TWO BUILDINGS THAT DON'T HAVE ANY THAT THEY SPECIFICALLY WOULD WANT TO TARGET. UM OKAY? I SAID CITY COUNCIL RAISED THE FUNDS THE FIRST TIME AROUND FOR THE FOR THOSE WATER. UM REFILL STATIONS , SO THAT'S KIND OF WHY THEY WANTED THEIR STUDENT COUNCIL. SORRY STUDENT COUNSELORS THE MONEY FOR THAT, UM AND SO THEY KIND OF WANTED THE STUDENTS TO BE A PART OF THAT AGAIN TO KIND OF HAVE THAT WIN INVOLVED IN THAT. ROLL MY EYES. I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL IDEA. I THINK IF YOU WANT STUDENT BY IN STEP BY AND YOU KNOW AS THE STUDENTS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO THIS TO ME.MONEY AND THEY CAN OBVIOUSLY HELPING FRAME IT, BUT YEAH, THAT COULD BE POWERFUL THEN. LIKE YOU SAID. A LOT OF THESE HAVE BEEN IN SILLY TO MEETINGS AND KIDS SPIT OUT IDEAS, BUT IF THERE'S NOT ALREADY FUNDING SOURCE THAT CAN BE REALLY FRUSTRATING IF YOU'RE JUST SPINNING YOUR WHEELS LITTLE TIME SOON. YOU DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF A KICKSTARTER. HERE'S OUR MONEY WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH IT. I AGREE. I THINK YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL TOGETHER LIKE THEIR ENTHUSIASM WITH A FUNDING SOURCE TO MAKE IT REALITY. AND THAT'S A NICE COMBINATION PLUS THE FACT THAT I LIKE THE IDEA OF WHERE THEY CAN PITCH. IT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE TANGIBLE, MORE REAL FUN.
YEAH IN WOULD IT BE? WOULD IT MAKE SENSE? MAYBE THIS IS WHERE MR WENT IN HER. OTHERS CAN HELP OUT LIKE PROVIDING WEDNESDAY A RUBRIC BUT THINGS THAT THEY NEED. HIT UPON TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S A COMPLETE IDEA VERSUS HAVE FAKED IDEA OR MAYBE DOWN SELECT RIGHT. IT'S HE DOES THE FIRST SORT AND THEN IT'S LIKE THE TOP FIVE. HERE OR WHATEVER. FOR THE FINAL CAGE. SOMETHING LIKE THAT MIGHT WORK, TOO. YEAH I LIKE THAT IDEA, BECAUSE I THINK YOU KNOW IF WE COULD MAKE A PROGRAM OUT OF THIS, WHERE THEY HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE IDEAS, RESEARCH THE IDEAS, PULL IT TOGETHER INTO SOME SORT OF PROPOSAL, AND THEN THEY COULD PRESENT IT TO THE TEACHER WITH ALL THAT DOWN, AND THEN MAYBE YOU KNOW IF YOU COME HERE, AND THEN THEY GET THAT EXPERIENCE TO TALK IN FRONT OF THE GROUP OF PEOPLE AND DEFEND THEIR IDEAS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS . I THINK THAT'S A VERY WELL ROUNDED PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS, AND THEN THEN THEY HAVE TO IMPLEMENT IT AS WELL. AFTER THAT , UM AND WE ALL KNOW THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS, USUALLY WITH PROJECTS, SO I THINK IT SEEMS LIKE IT'D BE A WELL ROUNDED EXPERIENCE FOR THEM. SO I THINK WE COULD, AND WE WANTED THIS JUST HAPPENED TODAY, BUT WE WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOU. AND WE REALLY WANTED TO HAVE THE MEETING BEFORE YOUR BOARD MEETING BECAUSE WE CAN THEN MAYBE TURN THOSE BUDGET LINE ITEMS INTO THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WON'T HAVE A COST TO IT, BUT WE'LL MAKE SURE WE PUT IT ON OUR WORK PROGRAM. JUST SO WE KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE PARTICIPATING IN, AND THAT IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. UM AND THEN WE COULD TAKE THAT AMOUNT AND, YOU KNOW, CALL THAT SOME SORT OF ENVIRONMENTAL GRANT. I THINK WE WILL HAVE TO SET THOSE KIND OF THE OBJECTIVES FOR THAT AND THE PARAMETERS AS A BOARD. DEFINE LIKE WHETHER IT IS PRODUCING
[00:10:03]
SINGLE USE, PLASTICS OR WHETHER IT'S ONE OR TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT GOALS OR AREAS WHERE THEY CAN PITCH PROJECTS TO US, AND THEN YOU CAN KIND OF MANAGE THAT PROCESS AND WILL WORK WITH THE TEACHER AND THE STUDENTS. UM ONE QUESTION ABOUT THAT WOULD BE I THINK THAT THE SCALE OF SOME OF THESE PROJECTS FOR FIRST YEAR WE WOULD START FOR 2023. IN JANUARY. THE SCHOOL YEAR WOULD END IN MAY. SO WE WOULD, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE KIND OF A FIVE MONTH POTENTIALLY WE COULD ALSO STARTED IN THE FALL. I'M NOT SURE FUNDING WISE HOW THAT WOULD WORK IF WE COULD DO A FULL SCHOOL YEAR. WORTH OF A PROJECT IF WE COULD FIND THAT ACROSS YEARS YEAH. I THINK WE CAN FIGURE THAT OUT. BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. THAT TIMING. IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR AS ITS STARTING STOPPING POINTS, SO WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION RIGHT? WELL AND THE OTHER PIECES THAT IF THIS IS NOT PUT A SCOPE ON IT ALREADY. BUT IF THIS WAS ABOUT INSTALLING BOTTLE FILLERS , RIGHT, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THEY'LL WANT TO DO THE INSTALLATION OF THE SUMMER. SO IT DOESN'T INVOLVE WHATEVER KID PROGRAM THAT MIGHT BE PITCHED WORK IS WORK IS BEING DONE IN STAGES THROUGHOUT THAT WHOLE TIME, SO YOU COULD. THAT'S A GOOD POINT BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE A CRITERIA WHERE IF HE TEAM WANTS TO MAKE UP HIT, THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT. AT LEAST ONE PERSON WHO'S NOT A SENIOR, JUST TO HAVE CAPTAIN EARLIER STUFF. STUFF LIKE THAT TO MAKE IT. THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. YEAH, BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE TO. UM HOLD THAT OVER SOMEHOW FROM YEAR TO YEAR, OKAY? I THINK THIS COULD BE REALLY FUN LIKE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH A FUN NAME FOR IT, AND PROMOTED. I DIDN'T REALIZE ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB WAS THAT YEAH. LARGE SO I THINK WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT. LILY WILL BE ABLE TO. I THINK THIS IS REALLY NEAT, LIKE A NEAT POSITIONS REALLY, TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF BE A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS AND SOMETHING THAT WASN'T NECESSARILY PRESENT BEFORE SO YEAH. DO WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH TO ALLOCATE FOR THAT? THAT'S HARD WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. I THINK WHAT WE WOULD WE PROBABLY SHOULD DO IS PUT A LINE I DON IN AN AMOUNT AND YOU KNOW, WE COULD. WE COULD JUST STAY WITH THE AMOUNT THAT WE KNOW WE RESEARCH FOR THE PHILIP FORWARD CAMPAIGN. UM AND. AND THEN LET'S SEE WHAT THEIR IDEAS ARE. AND IF WE'RE WAY OFF ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, AND THERE'S A GREAT IDEA. YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE GO BACK AND ASK FOR BUDGET ADJUSTMENT WITH COUNSEL. BUT I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD STARTING POINTS JUST TO USE THAT 20 OR $25,000.WHATEVER IT WAS, I THINK. I MEAN , THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS YOU COULD DO FOR THAT ABOUT ENOUGH MONEY, WHETHER IT'S WATER FILLING STATIONS OR EVEN COMPOSTING PICK UP. YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT WITH THAT AMOUNT. WE COULD ALSO HAVE IT BE, UM IF IT WAS A HIGHER BUDGET ITEM MATCHING GRANT WHERE THE STUDENTS WERE REQUIRED TO RAISE SOME OF THE FUNDS THEMSELVES. GOOD IDEA. IT'S RELATIVELY EASY TO RAISE FUNDS IN NEW ALBANY, OKAY. SO IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS REALLY GOOD, BUT WE OUT OF OUR PRICE RANGE. WE COULD WE COULD MATCH THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. AND I THINK IT ALSO LIKE IT COULD GO THAT WAY. OR MAYBE THERE ARE THREE PROJECTS THAT ARE LOWER. YOU KNOW, WE COULD FIND MULTIPLE PROJECTS IF WE THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL GOOD IDEAS. UM SO I THINK THERE'LL BE A SOME KIND OF FLEXIBILITY NEEDED SINCE THIS WOULD BE A NEW PROGRAM FOR US, BUT I THINK WE CAN PENCIL IN A LINE ITEM AND A MOUNTAIN. YES. WHERE WE GO WITH IT. WELL THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME COORDINATION WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD. MR SAWYER'S THEN JUST WHERE SO WE'RE NOT COMING ON TOP BECAUSE HONESTLY, RIGHT, LIKE ANYTHING LIKE A WATERMELON WATER FILL STATION THAT JUST LOVES AND JOHN'S LAP OF HAVING TO BE SOMETHING THAT HE'S GOT ADDED TO MAINTENANCE BUDGET RIGHT ONGOING , SO THAT'S A GOOD WE'RE GONNA CROSS THAT BRIDGE. I THINK WE PROBABLY SHOULD, UM. I THINK WE SHOULD ASK THOSE QUESTIONS AND REACH OUT TO THE SUPERINTENDENT . PARALLEL READY? YEAH AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S OKAY WITH THIS AS A CONCEPT, EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE DETAILS. WELL, CERTAINLY BRIEF OUR CITY COUNCIL AS WELL TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS LIKE THIS IS A IDEA WE HAVE THAT WE'D LIKE TO IMPLEMENT NEXT YEAR. THAT'S A GOOD I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT.
[00:15:02]
THAT'S A GOOD SUGGESTION. I HAVEN'T ONCE IN A WHILE. AND FOR TIMELINES RELATED TO THE EPA GRANT. THAT OPENS APPLICATIONS THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER. AND CLOSES IN FEBRUARY. UM I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED THE AWARDS, BUT I THINK IT WOULD LINE UP WITH SUMMARY INSTALLATION. RIGHT BREAKOUT CALL. DO WE NEED. TO AMEND WITH EMOTION. I THINK WE PROBABLY SHOULD, I THINK THE MOTION. UH, LAST MONTH. I LEFT THAT TO BE DEFINED A LITTLE BIT THAT AMOUNT FOR THE WATER BOTTLE. FILL IT IN THE CAMPAIGN, SO I THINK WE COULD JUST AMEND THE BUDGET TO REPLACE THOSE LIGHT ITEMS WITH A KIND OF GRANT THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCHOOLS TO FUND STUDENT PROJECTS. HAS TO BE A MOTION OR CAN STAFF JUST TAKE THAT UNDER ADVISEMENT TO MAKE THE CHANGE BECAUSE WE VOTE ON ALRIGHT, ONE ITEM OR DO WE JUST VOTE ON THE TOTAL BUDGET VOTED ON? WELL, YOU PUSH IT UP. I DON'T CARE. WHAT WERE THE OTHER APPRECIATED TODAY. I THINK WE DID. I THINK CLEARLY FOR THE RECORD, IT'S PROBABLY CLEAR IF WE HAVE A MOTION THAT SPECIFIES THAT. DO YOU WANT TO BREAK THE BUDGET BACK UP SO THEY COULD SEE. SO IT BE COMBINING THAT $18,000 IN THE $9100. INTO A LINE ITEM FOR UP STUDENT GRANT PARTNERSHIP. OR WHATEVER AMOUNT YOU MIGHT WANT TO SET IT UP. WASN'T THERE SOMETHING WITHIN THE WASTE TRACK TO THAT SEEMED EXCESSIVE. BUT WITHIN THAT. BUMPED IT UP TO. SO YES, SO THAT'S ANOTHER SO THE WASTE DRIVES THE HAZARDOUS WASTE SPECIFICALLY. UM AND I DID CONNECT WITH CHRISTIE FROM SWEET CO. YEAH. AND. THEY THE WAY THAT THEY ADVERTISED THERE. UM. FOR COMMUNITY HAZARDOUS WASTE DRIVES A YEAR. UM ONE OF THOSE IS IN WESTERVILLE. BUT IT'S A SWEET CO EVENT. SO I THINK YOU MENTIONED THAT CHARLES LAST, UM LAST MONTH THAT. THAT WE COULD ADVERTISE IT . NOT JUST AS, LIKE, GO DUMP YOUR WASTE IN WESTERVILLE, BUT WE COULD ADVERTISE IT AS THIS IS A SPEAK O EVENT THAT YOU'RE ALLOWED TO TAKE YOUR WAIST TO WHERE WE COULD ALSO JUST HOST HER OWN AND INCLUDED IN THE EARTH DAY EARTH WEEK EVENTS.SWICKLE WASN'T THEY'RE NOT GOING TO EXPAND BEYOND FOUR. UH BUT IF WE WANTED TO INCLUDE IT IN OUR EVENT THAT WE WOULD JUST PAY FOR IT AND USE THEIR VENDOR. UM SO WE COULD INCLUDE IT IN OUR E WASTE PAPER HAZARDOUS WAYS AND SO THAT I BELIEVE THAT NUMBER ACCOUNTS FOR ALL THOSE THREE.
UM, OPTIONS DURING THE WASTE DRIVE. THERE. IT'S THERE. YOU CAN USE IT. RIGHT FROM THE BUDGETING PERSPECTIVE, RIGHT? BE LIKE HAZARDOUS WASTE, I THINK WOULD BE FAIRLY POPULAR IN THROUGH ALBANY. WE FEEL LIKE ME. HAVE THE MONEY TO ADD THAT ON. I THINK IT MIGHT BE. GIVE ME. THAT HAS COME UP A LOT. UM UH, AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, SO I DO THINK THERE IS SUPPORT FOR DOING SOMETHING LIKE LIKE THAT IN FUNDING IT. AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE JUST, UH BACK A LITTLE BIT. SO WHATEVER FINAL FORM THIS TAKES AS A RECOMMENDATION FROM THIS BOARD THAN I WILL PUT INTO OUR BUDGET PROPOSAL. AND PRESENT THAT TO CITY COUNCIL AND SO IT COULD. THEY COULD FUND IT ALL.
THEY COULD ASK FOR MORE INFORMATION ON CERTAIN THINGS. UM BUT I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A THE WORK WE DID, TOO. ETCETERA PRIORITIES AND. THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO WORK ON. AND THEN THOSE THINGS ARE REFLECTED IN THIS BUDGET REQUEST. I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD PROGRAM OR
[00:20:01]
PROPOSAL MOVING FORWARD. UM AND WE'LL TAKE IT TO THEM AND SEE YOU KNOW? WHAT THEIR FUNDING DECISION IS. SO I WANTED TO ASK, UM AND I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE GRANT PROGRAM WITH THE KIDS. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. TO ENGAGE KIDS IN THIS KIND OF STUFF AND THINKING ABOUT PROJECTS. UM MY ONLY QUESTION JUST A LITTLE BIT OF DEVIL'S ADVOCATES RELATED TO WHAT YOU JUST SAID, WHICH IS THAT THE BUDGET REFLECTS OUR PRIORITIES THAT WE'VE SET OUT AND I JUST WANT TO ASK, UM, WITH COMBINING THOSE TWO. I UNDERSTAND RIGHT, COMBINING THOSE TWO LINE ITEMS AND $27,000 LINE AND GRANT, MAKING THAT BY FAR OUR BIGGEST LINE ITEM IN OUR BUDGET. UM DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IT IT WAS NOT ONE OF OUR PRIORITIES. WE DID NOT LIFT THAT UP AS A PRIORITY FOR US. IT'S A GREAT IDEA, AND I LOVE IT. SO I REALLY AM PLAYING DEVIL'S ADVOCATE HERE, BUT I'M TRYING TO SEE IT FROM THE CITY COUNCIL'S PERSPECTIVE BEING THE ONES THAT HAVE TO ULTIMATELY SAY YES TO THIS IS GOING TO GIVE US OUR GREATEST CHANCE TO GET WE MAY BE. HAVE SOME PRIORITIES BE REFLECTED IN THE STUDENT. GET BETTER. YEAH GRANT APPLICATIONS CAN'T YEAH, EXACTLY WHERE THEY HAVE TWO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES THAT THEY CAN APPLY TO AND THIS TIME. NEXT ONE AND ZERO. AGREED FUNDING. YEAH I'M BLANKING ON HER THIRD PRIORITY COMPOSTING, SOLAR AND PUMP AND NATIVE PLANTS, NATIVE LANDSCAPING. THE OTHER THOUGHT TO IS, EVEN IF IT'S JUST REAL REORDERING BUSINESS, SO IT IS PRIORITIZED. SO MAYBE IT IS BY DOUR BUT NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. WE MIGHT HAVE A HIGHER PRIORITY ALONE. BUDGET ITEM RIGHT RIGHT BACK AND STACK IT THAT WAY. YEAH THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. YEAH I THINK WE COULD ORGANIZE IT THAT WAY. I DO. UM, I THINK EDUCATION IN LIKE PROMOTION WAS BABY NUMBER FOUR. WASN'T IT IN OUR PRIORITY LIST? UH, IT WAS ON THE LIST. IT WAS ON THE LIST. YEAH, I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY. SO I THINK IT'S A COMBINATION OF YOU KNOW THAT, AND THIS IS A WAY TO PARTNERSHIP ON EDUCATION TO PARTNER ON EDUCATION. UM, BUT I THINK WHAT BRIAN SAID. IT'S THIS BOARD THEN WOULD DEFINE WHAT UMS LIKE WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THIS GRANT? SO WHETHER IT'S YOU KNOW. TO REDUCE SINGLE USE PLASTICS OR YOU KNOW THAT JUST COMES TO MIND. BUT OR IF IT'S TO REDUCE, UM, FOOD WASTE IN THE SCHOOLS. YOU COULD SET WHAT THOSE PARAMETERS ARE TO ALIGN WITH THE GOALS OF THIS BOARD AND THEN THEIR PROJECTS WOULD HAVE TO SUPPORT THOSE GOALS. AND WE ARE GOING TO BRING BACK. BRIAN HAD ASKED TO BRING BACK THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND KIND OF DO LET'S DO A REVIEW SESSION ON THOSE BASED ON WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED THIS YEAR AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO MOVING FORWARD, SO THERE'S PROBABLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO UM AND TAKE A SECOND. LOOK AT THAT AND CHECK OFF THE THINGS WE'VE DONE AND ADD PRIORITIES THAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH MOVING FORWARD. COULD I ASK YOU TO WORD THE WAY THAT YOU JUST DID ELOQUENTLY HOW YOU WOULD RECOMMEND, AND, UH. AMENDMENT TO THIS, OKAY? I THINK IT WOULD BE TO MOVE TO UM, REPLACE THE OUTDOOR WATER. FOUNTAIN REFILL STATION AND THE PHILIP FORWARD. YEAH. WITH A UMN THE BUDGET. THEN I SUBMIT THAT WHICH IS WHAT SHE SAID. SECOND.MR SCHUMACHER? YES. THIS CALENDAR? YES MR PHIL YATRA. YES, YES. MR HAROLD? YES, MR CONWAY? YES, MR BURNS? YES. MOTION PASSES. QUESTION FOR THE FALL. WOULD THAT BE IN TIME FOR THIS OR THAT BE TRUE NEXT, SO WE'RE WORKING ON IT DOING IT FOR THIS YEAR? UM, SO IT WOULD START EVERYTHING. NOVEMBER 1ST NOVEMBER. 1ST? YEP. YEP. THROUGH. UM 2ND DECEMBER SECOND PASS. THANKSGIVING. WITH BEN OR A WHAT'S IT TO ROLL OFF CONTAINER CONTAINER OR LEARNING
[00:25:02]
THESE TERMS? UM ABOUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FACILITY. SO IT WILL BE LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO THE COMPOST DROP OFF. AT PUBLIC SERVICE, AND WE ARE EXPECTING TO PUT OUT SOME PROMOTIONAL ITEMS LATER THIS MONTH. SO THAT WOULD BE A GREAT UM, I THINK IF YOU SEE THAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO SHARE IT AND SPREAD THE WORD. PUMPKINS CAN BE PAINTED, BUT THEY CANNOT BE HAVE CANDLES AND THINGS IN THEM. YEAH. SO OUR NEXT STEPS SO THERE IS A BUDGET HEARING LIST CITY COUNCIL ON NOVEMBER 10TH. I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT ALIGNS WITH OUR NEXT MEETING. IT MIGHT BE THE SAME WEEK AS IT UM, BUT THAT WILL BE OUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS TO CITY COUNCIL AND THEN I'LL REPORT BACK ANY FEEDBACK THAT WE GET. IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO ATTEND ITS DURING IT'S A DAYTIME MEETING, BUT IT'S A PUB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND. YOU'RE WELCOME TO OR YOU COULD STREAM IT. WHICH IS ALWAYS FASCINATING. OUR MEETING WILL BE THE NIGHT BEFORE . OKAY, SO WE DON'T KNOW YET. STILL THE SUSPENSE A LITTLE ONE. OKAY? SO THE NEXT ITEM IS TO KIND OF ELABORATE ARE SCHEDULED FOR 2023. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KIND OF SCHEDULE IN SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS YEAR, BUT MAYBE BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME MORE TIME TO UM, THINK THROUGH HOW WE EVENTS. UM SO YON FRONT OF YOU. JUST THE PDF FOUNDERS. COOL. DID THAT VERY EASILY. SO THIS IS JUST KIND OF THE STARS ARE THE DAY THAT THEY HAPPEN, OR THE MONTH THAT THEY FALL IN. UM AND THEN I BROKE IT DOWN BY MONTH BELOW. UM. SO I THINK WE CAN KIND OF GO THROUGH AND SEE. MM. SORRY. GO THROUGH MONTH BY MONTH, GO THROUGH BY PROJECT AND MAKE SURE THAT THIS KIND OF ALIGNS WITH THE RIGHT SCHEDULE. I THINK IT'S HELPFUL TO HAVE YOU HEAR MARY LOU? BECAUSE RIGHT. I DO NOT HAVE A GREEN THUMB AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN WE NEED TO BE IF WE'RE IF WE'RE DOING THESE LANDSCAPING RELATED GRANTS, WHEN DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO. TO PROVIDE THOSE FUNDS OR REQUEST THAT THEY SEND IN THEIR PICTURES, REMOVING THOSE KINDS OF THINGS SO UM I GUESS JUST TO HIGHLIGHT NEXT MONTH WE WILL BE HAVING A GUEST SPEAKER FROM AXIOM PACKAGING ONE OF OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT ARE LOCATED OUT IN THE BUSINESS PARK. UM AXIOM IS OPENING UP. THIRD. I MEAN, IT'S ONE OF SEVERAL, UM, PLANTS THAT THEY'RE CALLING FOR VERTEX AND THAT THIS IS A RECYCLING PLANT, SO THEY'RE TAKING SOME PLASTICS AND, UM YOU RECYCLING THEM AND THEN A LOT OF THOSE PRODUCTS ARE ACTUALLY USED LOCALLY BY BATHROOM BODY WORKS, OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE IN THE BUSINESS PARK USES THOSE PLASTICS BUT FOR LOTIONS AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD. ITEMS SO WE'LL HAVE, UM TONY THUNBERG COME IN AND GIVE US AN OVERVIEW OF THAT RECYCLING OPERATION. AND THEN WE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. COME EITHER DECEMBER OR JANUARY. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, IT WILL BE A DAYTIME TOUR, BUT YOU'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN STAFF FOR TOUR. UM OF THAT FACILITY. TO MAKE SURE ONCE WE HAVE A DATE, WE'RE WAITING FOR THEM TO UM, BEFORE THE OPERATIONAL BEFORE WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT. RIGHT? UM OKAY. SO EARTH DAY.COMING UP IN APRIL. THIS WILL BE A WEEK LONG EVENT BETWEEN EARTH DAY AND ARBOR DAY. THAT WILL INCLUDE R R THREE SPACE DRIVES THAT WE'VE BUDGETED FOR, UM SO I'VE KIND OF ALLOCATED WELL, WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT FROM JANUARY THROUGH APRIL. THEN I HAVE UM. THE SUSTAINABLE AND NATIVE LANDSCAPING GRANT. STARTING TO TALK ABOUT THAT. IN THE SPRING OR MARCH. HOPEFULLY, THAT WILL BE SPRING. AND UM, KIND OF GOING THROUGH. THE SUMMER. UM. AND THE TRADE IN
[00:30:08]
PROGRAM PICKING UP IN THE SUMMER AND GOING THROUGH THE FALL. AND THEN THIS ALTERNATIVE THAT WE'VE SLATED HERE. THE SCHOOL GRANT. STARTING THAT KIND OF MORE IMMEDIATELY TO KIND OF DEFINE WHAT WE WANT THAT TO LOOK LIKE. UM AND THEN GOING THROUGH THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. WE COULD, ALTERNATIVELY DO THAT STARTING IN THE FALL. AND GOING THROUGH THE END OF THE FALL TO MAYBE BOTH, AND SO UM. THEN TOWARDS THE END OF NEXT YEAR. TAKING TIME TO REVISIT PRIORITIES. AND WORK. THE BUDGET FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR GOES FAST EACH YEAR. UM AND THEN WE'LL PUT THEM UP. SEE SOME IT ON THE CALENDAR FOR OCTOBER. UM AND IF MORE PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING THAT AND KIND OF BLOCKING OFF THAT DAY, UM. THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE ARE MEETING FOR THE MONTH IF WE WANTED OR UM , I KNOW IT DIDN'T WORK OUT QUITE FOR PEOPLE TO ATTEND THIS YEAR. THAT HAPPENS BECAUSE IT'S A WHOLE DAY EVENT SO THERE'S FLEXIBILITY IN IN HOW WE HANDLE OUR MEETINGS. AND IF I KNOW SOME OF THESE THINGS, ESPECIALLY LIKE AROUND JUNE MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A BREAK AS WELL, IF THAT'S AN INTEREST TO ANYONE, UM. ONE THING WILL, UM, OUR BYLAWS REQUIRES TO DO ANNUAL ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING IN MARCH. EVERY BOARDING COMMISSIONERS MARCH. I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT MONTH WAS SELECTED, BUT THAT'S WHAT IT IS. SO EVERY YEAR WE'LL HAVE TO DETERMINE OUR MEETING TIME AND DATE AND LOCATION. SO IF THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, NOT EVERY BOARD MEETS EVERY MONTH. SO IF WE DO WANT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SET A CALENDAR AND MARCH IF WE WANTED TO TAKE US YOU KNOW ITS SUMMER RECESS A MONTH OFF IN THE SUMMER AROUND THE HOLIDAYS, WE COULD BUILD THAT INTO THIS SCHEDULE THAT YOU ADOPTED IN MARCH OF NEXT YEAR. SO THIS WAS REALLY, UM BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR WE STARTED IN NOVEMBER . YOU KNOW, BUDGET WAS KIND OF ALREADY GOING. I THINK WE DID A LOT IN THE FIRST YEAR AND ESPECIALLY THE FIRST FEW MONTHS WITH EARTH DAY. BUT NOW WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. WE HAVE A BUDGET. WE CAN KIND OF PLAN OUT OUR WORK PROGRAM. SO WE I ASKED ANNA TO PUT THIS TOGETHER JUST TO SEE HOW THE YEAR MIGHT LAYOUT . AND I THINK EACH OF THESE BUDGET ITEMS HAVE A LOT OF WORK INVOLVED IN THEM. LIKE THE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME UP WITH VERY APPLICATIONS AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROMOTE THEM. AND THEN YOU GUYS WILL HAVE TO REVIEW WHAT WE GET IN UH AND SO LAYING THAT OUT ON A CALENDAR. I THINK IT'S HELPFUL. SO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT IN TERMS OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT PROPOSED TO IMPLEMENT THESE MOVING FORWARD. ONE THING WE ALSO WANNA DO START DOING AT THE END OF EVERY MEETING IS JUST GIVE YOU GUYS AN OPPORTUNITY. IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU WANT US TO INCLUDE IN NEXT MONTH'S AGENDA. UM JUST GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL US THAT AT A MEETING YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL IT TO US LATER AS WELL. BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE REFLECTING THE WORK YOU GUYS WANT TO DO? AND SO WELL , I THINK THIS IS A PRETTY ROBUST THERE'S A LOT TO DO JUST TO IMPLEMENT THESE PROGRAMS. CERTAINLY THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY AND, YOU KNOW WE WANT YOU GUYS TO TELL US THAT THINGS YOU'D LIKE US TO LOOK INTO A RESEARCHER. BRING BACK TO YOU.YEAH. THIS SOLAR. GUIDE OR PLANT THAT THAT'S BEEN DONE BY THIRD PARTY GOING TO BE. WE SHOULD ADD THAT IN THE BEST PRACTICES, UM DO YOU HAVE DELIVERED DEADLINES ? DELIVERABLES TODAY WE RECEIVED THE 50. DRAFT IT'S VERY PRELIMINARY DRAFT, BUT WE EXPECT TO HAVE AT LEAST A FULL DRAFT BY THANKSGIVING AND THEN SOMETHING BY THE END OF THE YEAR. SO WE CAN DEFINITELY PRESENT THAT AND REVIEW THAT. PROBABLY AT THE DECEMBER MEETING. SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY. UM WE'RE OPEN TO FEEDBACK ON THIS AND YOU GUYS CAN GIVE IT TO US NOW OR TAKE IT AND LOOK AT IT. GIVE US ANY SUGGESTIONS. I DON'T THINK WE NEED A MOST NEED EMOTION, BUT WE DID WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE KIND OF THINKING ABOUT THIS. FOR THE WHOLE CALENDAR YEAR AND HOW THIS MIGHT, UM ALL THESE PROJECTS WILL MAP OUT SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE KIND OF HIT THE GROUND RUNNING QUICKLY LAST YEAR AND DID ALL THAT EARTH DAY STUFF IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME AND SO, HAVING A LITTLE MORE TIME TO PLAN IT, I THINK WILL BE BENEFICIAL. YEAH I GUESS THE ONLY THING I AM LOOKING AT
[00:35:06]
THIS WHICH THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING TOGETHER. UM IS THAT NATIVE TREE AND SHRUB TRADING PROGRAM HITTING IN FALL? BUT I GUESS I DON'T LEAN AND MARY LOU FOR SOME INPUT. I KNOW.CERTAINLY PEOPLE DO FALL, PLANTING THAT IT ISN'T THE GENERAL FOCUS. RIGHT YES, I MEAN , IF IT ENDS IN THE FALL LIKE WOULD THAT MEAN THEY GET THEIR PLANTS IN THE FALL? I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE FINE, MOSTLY PLANT IN THE FALL. I WOULD SAY, I THINK IT'S EASIER TO PLANT IN THE FALL. THAT IS IN THE SPRING BAUSE WHEN YOU PLAY IN THE FALL, THERE'S YOU'RE NOT GOING STRAIGHT TO SUMMER, SO YOUR PLANTS AREN'T GETTING COOKED IMMEDIATELY. SO IF YOU.
MAYBE NOT LIKE THE GREENEST PERSON IN THE WORLD. YOU CAN MORE LIKELY PLANT YOUR PLANT AND THEN KIND OF FORGET ABOUT IT, AND IT'S MORE LIKELY TO LIVE. AND IF YOU PLAN IT WAS SPRING AND FORGET ABOUT IT. THAT'S KIND OF ALWAYS BEEN MY PERSPECTIVE ANYWAY. FALLS, AND, UM IT'S A GOOD TIME TO IDENTIFY INVASIVE, TOO. SO THAT'S GOOD. THERE IS OCTOBER THE BEST MONTH FOR THAT.
FOR PLANTING. I WOULD SAY TARGET MONTH UM. I MEAN, WE PLANT IN NOVEMBER, BUT LATE OCTOBER IS GOING TO IF THEY'RE GETTING THEIR PLANT IN SEPTEMBER, THEY COULD PLANT IT IN OCTOBER. THEY HAVE IT. READY TO PLANT ON OCTOBER. YOU CAN PLANT IT IN SEPTEMBER TWO AS LONG AS THEY'RE GOING TO WATER, IT AND SAY, YEAH. I MEAN, YOU COULD BUMP IT FURTHER INTO THE FALL, AND IT WOULDN'T HURT ANYTHING. IN MY OPINION. THANKS REALLY HELPFUL TO SEE? YOU KNOW, ALL THE THINGS LAID OUT LIKE THIS, UM YOU KNOW TO ME, IT DOES LOOK LIKE A LOT OF REALLY GOOD STUFF. CAN YOU REMIND ME I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BRIEFLY, BUT THE SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPING GRANT.
SOME SPECIFICS ON THAT. SO THE. I GUESS WE DON'T HAVE SPECIFICS YET, AND SO THAT WOULD BE UP TO YOU TO DETERMINE UM, HOW YOU WANT TO. WHAT CRITERIA YOU WANT AND WHO YOU WANT TO TARGET IT.
THINK WE'RE THINKING MORE ORGANIZATIONS? UM, NONPROFITS. CHURCHES, SCHOOLS. HMM. BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME MONEY FOR THEM TO DO SOME SORT OF START UP. NATIVE SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPING PROJECT. I THINK THAT THE CONCEPT CAME OUT OF, UM, JUST KNOWING NATIVE LANDSCAPING WAS ONE OF THE PRIORITIES AND SO WHAT'S UP PROGRAM THAT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED? TO ACHIEVE. THOSE PRIORITIES AND THIS IDEA OF DOING A FUNDING OF A PILOT PROJECT. KIND OF. I KNOW SOME EXISTS ON THE SCHOOL CAMPUS ALREADY. BUT WE COULD DO A COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM TO FUND A PILOT PROJECT AND PROVIDE SOME EDUCATIONAL ON, YOU KNOW RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND LEARN ABOUT NATIVE LANDSCAPING AND SEE LIKE, WELL, MAYBE IT'S NOT AS SCARIEST, YOU BABY. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE CAN STILL LOOK REALLY GOOD. UM SO WE WOULD IN THIS BORDER, PUT TOGETHER THAT GRANT PROGRAM AND OUTLINE WITH THAT APPLICATION. LOOKS LIKE WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE? AND THEN GO THROUGH THE SELECTION PROCESS. YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE. GREAT WELL, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'LL KEEP THIS UPDATED AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE UPDATED VERSIONS OF IT, BUT THIS WILL KIND OF BE OUR GAME PLAN. MOVING INTO 2023. RIGHT? WHAT'S THAT? I DID HAVE A QUESTION MARK NEXT TO THE HOLIDAY LIGHTS, AND I KNOW THAT THAT'S SOMETHING CASEY HAS DONE, AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WANTED TO INCLUDE THAT IN ANY OF OUR CONVERSATION. OR IF WE LEAVE THAT AS AN EXTERNAL PROJECT. YEAH I THINK HE CAN PUT IT IN HERE. I MEAN, THAT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY SUCCESSFUL LAST YEAR. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS UM USED TO IT OR IT KIND OF PUT IT TOGETHER AT THE LAST MINUTE WE HAD BEEN OUT IN FRONT OF VILLAGE HALL AND WE DID COLLECT A GOOD AMOUNT OF LIGHTS AND HAD THOSE RECYCLED, SO I THINK THAT'S A PROGRAM WE COULD DO AGAIN THIS YEAR. THAT SEEMS LIKE A USEFUL THING FOR PEOPLE. I KNOW IT. YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS HAVE A GROUP OF LIGHTS THAT DON'T WORK AND EITHER PUT IT BACK IN THE BIN AND TAKE IT OUT THE FOLLOWING YEAR, OR THIS PROVIDES AN ALTERNATIVE TO THAT IS THAT I DON'T WANT TO CUT OFF SOMETHING THAT WE THOUGHT WAS SUCCESSFUL, BUT IT'S LIKE WE COULD ALSO JUST WRAP THAT UP INTO HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION COLLECTION. THAT'S TRUE. YEAH HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS TO SAY OKAY, FORGET HOW THAT WAS THAT SPONSORED BY THE CITY, THE CITY JUST BELIEVE PUT OUT OF BED, AND I THINK CASEY ACTUALLY PUT THE
[00:40:06]
LIGHTS AND HIS JEEP AND GARAGE, RIGHT? RIGHT SO WHAT? WE'LL TALK TO HIM AS WELL ABOUT IT. NO HARM AND MORE. NO. YEAH, MORE RECYCLING. I THINK THAT'S ALL WE HAVE, UM ON THE AGENDA FOR BUSINESS ITEMS. YEAH WE DO WITH ALL THIS TIME. WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO BRING UP OF THEIR ITEMS,[VII. Other Business]
PRETTY MUCH. ONE QUESTION. JAMES TALKING TO AND ABOUT SOMETHING THAT I'VE KIND OF DANCED AROUND, I GUESS AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ARTICULATE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT HERE. UH UM. THE CITY'S PUT A MEMBER OF PROGRAMS IN PLACE. GRANT PUTTING THE RECYCLING THROUGHOUT BUILDING, ETCETERA, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS HOPING THAT THIS BOARD COULD HELP FACILITATE WAS TO JUST DO A SCRUB. OF ALL THE CITY CODES AND GUIDELINES. UM ONE IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO SEE SOMETHING HERE FOR ONE OF THE PLANNING MEETINGS IS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL, IN WHICH CAN WE GET THE CITY TO INCORPORATE? YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE USING NATIVE PLANTINGS. THEY'RE NOT USING INVASIVE PLANTINGS. UM WHERE POSSIBLE THEY'RE USING HAVE DEEMED THAT THE PERMISSIBLE ASPHALT IS PREFERRED. SOME STRAIGHT FOR WALKWAYS OR WHAT HAVE YOU BUT JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST DOING SOMETHING. OUT OF THIS GROUP. RELATED THESE BUT CONTACT AND SUSTAINABILITY AND WHERE TO CROSS WHAT THE CITY IS OPERATES . OKAY, I PRESUME WILL HELP ROLL THIS INTO NOT ONLY SILVER STATUS, BUT GOLD STATUS IS, UM, POINT OF, YOU KNOW. WE HAD TO DRINK PROJECTS WERE ACTUALLY LIVING WALKING THE WALK. WELCOME TO THINK THAT CAME UP A LITTLE BIT OF E V STUFF TOO RIGHT IN TERMS OF STATIONS AND WHERE THIS COULD BE. PLACED HANDLE. PROJECTS LIKE YOU'RE SAYING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. BASED ON SIZE OF OCCUPANTS. SENIOR PARKING RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW. THE WAY TO HOW TO START THAT? YEAH. UM YEAH, LET US THINK ABOUT THAT . I MEAN, I THINK ONE PLACE TO START IT JUST KIND OF BE AN AUDIT OF WHAT THE CURRENT STANDARDS ARE. AND BRING THOSE TO YOU, UM AND THEN YOU KNOW, SEE HOW WE FALL LIKE ART. I DON'T THINK THERE'S MORE FIND ANYTHING THAT PREVENTS THESE THINGS FROM HAPPENING, BUT ALSO DON'T YOU KNOW WE DO HAVE SOME STANDARDS LIKE YOU NEED TO PROVIDE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF BIKE CRACKS, UM, FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, BASED ON I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A SQUARE FOOTAGE AND BUILDING OR IT'S BASED ON A METRIC. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT IS. SO I THINK WE'LL FIND SOME THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT ARE BENEFICIAL. UM BUT LET US START THINKING ABOUT. I THINK THAT FIRST STEP WOULD JUST BE AUDIT WITHOUT THERE NOW AND GET A SENSE OF THAT AND THEN BRING THAT TO YOU GUYS AND KIND OF SEE WHERE WE GO FROM THERE. YEAH, THAT'S SOMETHING YOU COULD FIT IN WITH. FORGET THE NAME OF THE BUILDING. THAT'S WHERE I WAS GOING TO CERTIFICATION SORRY BUILDINGS FROM VACATION. YEAH BUT NOT LEAVE. POLITICALLY WE HAVE THE ECHOES ECHOES PROGRAM. DOES THAT FIT INTO THAT AT ALL? YEAH SO I THINK YOU'D FIND A LOT OF THOSE STANDARDS. THOSE, UM YEAH, I THINK THAT'S PART OF IT.AND THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE WOULD BE AUDITING THOSE APPLY. UM, I THINK WE COULD BRING TO YOU LIKE WHEN THOSE APPLY AND WHEN THOSE DON'T AND USUALLY THOSE APPLIED TO PROJECTS THAT ARE GETTING TAX ABATEMENTS AS PART OF THAT ABATEMENT AGREEMENT, THEY HAVE TO HIT A CERTAIN ECHOES LEVEL.
UM AND THEN THERE'S A GROUP OF STANDARDS, YOU KNOW, BASED ON GOLD, SILVER BRONZE, UM, TO ACHIEVE THAT LEVEL. BUT THEY'RE NOT. I THINK STANDARDS MAYBE THAT YOU MIGHT THINK WE THINK ABOUT CHARLES THAT APPLY TO ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE CITY. BECAUSE I FELT THIS COULD BE A, UH STEPPED KIND OF PROCESS, WHICH WERE WHAT IS THE CITY MANAGE AND THEN? I COULD PERCEIVE THAT POINT OF TIME IN WHICH WE GET TO PROPOSING SOMETHING THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE BLESSED BY THE COUNCIL. THAT WOULD BE THEN. REQUESTED TO BE IN AGREEMENT WITH ALL THE DEVELOPERS IN THE AREA, SO THE COMPANY WOULD SAY WE AGREED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE DEVELOPERS
[00:45:01]
ARE ALWAYS DOING THIS. THIS IS, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY A CERTIFICATION CHECKLIST, THEN.ALL NEW DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING IN THE AREA IS FOLLOWING A CERTAIN SET OF GUIDELINES. YEAH, I THINK THERE'S. NOT LOOKING FEEL, BUT IT'S LIKE AGAIN. IT'S NOT PLANNING INVASIVE SPECIES, AND THOSE CAN BE DETERMINED BY USING OUR CITY FORESTER, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY YEAH, I THINK I THINK THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS TO DO THAT. WE PROBABLY NEED TO START LIKE THE FOUNDATIONAL THING IS TO AUDIT THE CURRENT CODES AND SEE WHAT APPLIES AND UM HOW THAT IS IMPLEMENTED. AND THEN I THINK IT COULD TAKE THAT FORM OF A CHECKLISTS OR UH UM, LIKE AN AGREEMENT, LIKE YOU SAID IT COULD TAKE THE FORM OF MAYBE SOME CODE CHANGES AND PART CERTAIN PARTS OF THE CODE, SO THERE'S PROBABLY DIFFERENT PATHS , DEPENDING ON THE RESULTS OF THAT AUDIT. SO THAT'S THE THING WE CAN START THINKING ABOUT HOW WE GO THROUGH THAT THE ZONING CODE IS, UM BIG AND ARCHAIC AND SO THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO DO. BUT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW GOING INTO IT, BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD START LOOKING INTO. AND MAYBE WE GO. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A PARKING CHAPTER. THERE'S A LANDSCAPE CHAPTER. THERE'S A UM SIGNAGE CHAPTER. I DON'T KNOW, EVEN BEYOND JUST CODE IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT LANDSCAPE PLANS, LIKE THE BUSINESS PARK IS DIVIDED INTO DIFFERENT AREAS RIGHT IN EACH AREA HAS ITS OWN LANDSCAPE PLAN IN TERMS OF WHAT IS RECOMMENDED FOR. FOR FIRST STREETSCAPE DESIGN, AND THAT I THINK IS WHERE A LOT OF THAT TYPE OF NATIVE LANDSCAPING BUT PROBABLY FIT INTO THOSE UM. SO THE OTHERS THERE ARE MANY LAYERS LOTS OF LAYERS TO IT. IT'S A AH! YEAH I THINK WE WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH KIND OF A GAME PLAN ON HOW WE LOOK AT EACH PIECE OF THE CODE, AND MAYBE MAYBE WE BRING DO YOU KNOW? BRING IT TO YOU AND IN SECTION SO WE CAN LOOK AT ONE. THE ONE THING AT A TIME. IT'S CERTAINLY THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN START. UH KIND OF LAYING THE FRAMEWORK ON HOW TO ACHIEVE THAT. WHAT I HEAR IN THIS BECAUSE ACTUALLY 100% AGREEMENT. BUT YOU SAID, REALLY, I MEAN, MOVING FROM A PROJECT BASED MODEL TO SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY INTEGRATED INTO THE FABRIC OF THE COMMUNITY. I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THE WORK OF THIS GROUP REALLY STARTS TO. DIED. THE COMMUNITY, I THINK, UM AND I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS. IT SOUNDS LIKE A HUGE PROJECT, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD DO IT AND ALSO MAKES ME THINK THAT MAYBE THAT, UM THE KIND OF RE RE LOOKING AT WHAT WE'VE SET. OUR PRIORITIES ARE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE CAN TAKE COMPOSTING OFF. MOVING ON THAT SO WE HAVE SOME ROOM TO SAY. OKAY. YOU KNOW, THIS IS MAYBE THIS IS A NEW PRIORITY FOR US, SO WE CAN ALL HAVE THE CONVERSATION AND SEE IF THAT IS THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO IN BECAUSE UM YEAH, AND I THINK WE COULD TAKE SOME YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WHAT THAT EFFORT INVOLVED IN.
THAT IS FROM A BECAUSE THAT WILL BE A KIND OF HEAVY LIFT. FIRST ON THE STAFF SIDE OF THINGS JUST BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONES THAT ARE GONNA HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE CODE. UM AND JUST SO WE'RE IF WE'RE THINKING ABOUT PLANNING OUT THE YEAR, MAKING SURE THAT WE UM, ARE LEAVING TIME TO DO THAT AND DO THAT? WELL SO WE CAN BRING IT TO YOU IN THE CONTEXT OF THESE OTHER PROJECTS, SO I THINK WE CAN START THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW IS THAT A 12 1 PROJECT? IS IT A NINE MONTH? YOU KNOW HOW HOW WOULD WE TACKLE THAT SO WE COULD GET THROUGH PIECES OF THAT AT THE TIME. YEAH I THINK LAST MONTH I USED THE EXAMPLE OF, YOU KNOW, COULD WE CARRY OUT THE LAWN AND FOR THE CITY HALL AND PLANT THINGS AS AN EXAMPLE? SO I MEAN, I THINK THAT THERE'S PROBABLY YOU GUYS HAVE FIGURED OUT? IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC WORKS. ALRIGHT WHAT ARE WE DOING ON DAY IN AND DAY OUT BASIS. AND HOW CAN WE DO THIS DIFFERENTLY TO SET THE EXAMPLE OF WHAT COULD BE DOING OKAY. AND THEN? YEAH THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE PEACE IS JUST A MATTER OF LIKE IT JUST BECOMES THE STATUS DUE. YEAH WE'LL START THINKING ABOUT THAT AND KIND OF LAY OUT SOMETHING FOR YOU GUYS TOO. UM TO LOOK AT AND. START THINKING ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT TACKLE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND I HAVE ONE MORE, WHICH IS JUST FOR MORE FROM MY OWN EDUCATION AS A BOARD MEMBER IN A CITIZEN. THE BUILDING THAT'S ON IS BEING PROPOSED FOR THE ON THE BALLOT NEXT MONTH. MULTIPURPOSE.
PRETTY COLD NICELY. TEAL HOUSE. WHAT IS THE SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT OF THAT? BECAUSE I'VE DONE THIS MUCH READING, SO I APOLOGIZE THAT I'VE DONE FURTHER . SOLAR PANELS ON THIS BUILDING
[00:50:07]

BUT I CAN DEFINITELY PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH UM DAVE MARTIN, THE DIRECTOR OF THE JOINT PARK DISTRICT, AND HE COULD ANSWER THOSE ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS. MORE DIG MEDICINE? NO I'M SORRY. I DON'T HAVE THE DETAILS. THEY DID COME TO COUNCIL AND PRESENTED UM, KIND OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS THAT THEY HAVE SO FAR. I THINK THOSE ARE AVAILABLE ON THEIR WEBSITE.
