IF YOU WOULD COME TO THE MICROPHONE AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, UH, GOOD EVENING. MY NAME'S HOWARD BUREK 51 31. ABBOTT'S VERY COURT LONG TERM RESIDENTS OF ALBANY HERE SINCE 97. SEEMS QUITE A BIT OF GROWTH IN THE COMMUNITY AND HAVING TO REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE PLANNING EVERYTHING THAT'S GONE INTO THIS COMMUNITY. UM THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR INVOLVEMENT SUSTAINABILITY TO THOSE IN THE CITY FOR THEIR SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS IMPLEMENTING THE BOARD'S AGENDA FOLLOWING MR T GIC PLAN, BLAH, UM HELLO. I ALSO WANT TO SAY I WALKED THROUGH TAILOR PARKS. FANTASTIC WAY BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT. I'M A PERSON THAT WALKS WALKS THROUGH THE WETLANDS BY THE SCHOOL. QUITE OFTEN ALL TIMES OF THE YEAR. I LOVE THAT PLACE, BUT IT'S TOO SMALL. AND. SO JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS AGAIN . I HAVE NOT REALLY BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY BOARDS OR ANYTHING. I DON'T REALLY HAVE AN AGENDA. I'M JUST INTERESTED IN SUSTAINABILITY. AND KIND OF WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE HERE THAT HAS AN INTEREST IN THAT PROBABLY COMMUNITY. 
          HOPEFULLY, THERE'S MORE. ME, UH, I JUST WANTED. I DON'T KNOW IF THESE ARE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR WHATEVER. I'M JUST LOOKING TO FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF OPPORTUNITIES OR FOR CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT. IN SUSTAINABILITY AND EDUCATION AND SOME OF THESE TOPICS UM, YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITIES TO COLLABORATE WITH THE NEW ALBANY SCHOOL SCIENCE PROGRAMS. YOU KNOW, MAYBE STUDIES. SOME OF THESE ISSUES IDENTIFY. BEST PRACTICES OR EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY THINGS LIKE THAT. UM. UH OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO HOMEOWNERS , THE A BUSINESS OWNERS, LANDSCAPING COMPANIES, CONTRACTORS FOR BEST PRODUCT PRACTICES AROUND COMMUNITY. UM YOU KNOW, I AM ALSO INTERESTED. I KNOW. BILL RUSH YOU HE WAS ON UM, INVOLVED MET HIM OVER THE YEARS HERE, AND THERE WAS ONE OF YOU. IS THERE ANYONE CONTINUING ANY OF HIS WORK IN REGARDS TO THE WETLANDS STREAM CORRIDORS, GREENWAYS. COLLABORATIONS WITH THE SCHOOLS. ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          UH, I SEE ON YOUR THING. YOU GRAB SOME INVASIVE SPECIES HERE . IT WAS LIKE LOOKING FOR ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IDENTIFYING AND DEALING WITH THE INVASIVE SPECIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. I AM SURE SINCE WE HAVE A STRATEGIC PLAN, AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT I'M SURE YOU'RE SMARTER THAN ME. UM, BUT , YOU KNOW INITIATIVE TO IDENTIFY SOME MORE CRITICAL HABITS. HABITATS PROVIDE SOME CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN SOME OF THE GREEN SPACES THAT ARE EXISTING NOW. UNDEVELOPED AREAS, CITY PARKLAND AND, YOU KNOW, STREAM CORRIDORS, GREEN GREENWAYS THINGS LIKE THAT, AND I THINK WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS FANTASTIC WITH ALL THE TRAILS AND DIFFERENT AREAS. BUT ARE THERE WAYS THAT WE COULD IMPROVE UPON THAT EXPAND IT? IN A AFFORDABLE WAY THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. AND THEN ALSO, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET INVOLVED WITH MORE PACK ON THEIR RAPID FIVE BLUE BLUE EIGHT PROGRAMS. I'M NOT SURE OF THAT AFFECTS. I THINK IT'S SOME OF THE RIVER CORRIDORS. WESTIE HERE . I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S ANY OPPORTUNITIES THERE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. AND THAT'S JUST THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, 
          [00:05:03]
UM 1 100. COMMENT ON THAT CASE. YEAH WELL, WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING. UM I'M ASSUMING WE HAVE A HUGE ONLINE FOLLOWING, SO DON'T BE DISCOURAGED THAT THERE'S NOBODY HERE THIS THEIR SCREAMS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GAUGE WHO'S WATCHING AT HOME. BUT UM NO, WE DO APPRECIATE INVOLVEMENT. I MEAN, YOU LAID OUT A BUNCH OF GREAT THINGS THERE THAT I FEEL LIKE WE CAN KIND OF TAKE PIECE BY PIECE. UM IN THE MORGUE, CPS AND, UH, CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT PARTS AND INVASIVE SPECIES. ACTUALLY, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT TONIGHT. SO. WE LOVE INVOLVEMENT. AND IF YOU WANT TO GET MORE INVOLVED, YOU KNOW THIS IS THE PLACE. I GUESS THE ENTRYWAY WE DO, YOU KNOW, OUTREACH THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WE DO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS WITH OUR EARTHLY AT ARBOR DAY PROGRAMMING THAT WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR HELP WITH. UM INPUT FROM FOLKS LIKE YOU THAT ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT. UM, YOU DON'T NEED TO SIT UP HERE. TO HAVE AN IMPACT WITH THIS GROUP. WE'RE VERY COLLABORATIVE AND FOLKS COMING IN WITH IDEAS ALL THE TIME THAT WE KIND OF PICK UP AND RUN WITH SO UM WE MEET EVERY EVERY MIDDLE OF THE MONTH WEDNESDAY OR SO. 
          SECOND WEDNESDAY, SECOND WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH. UM SO WE LOVE THAT YOUR INVOLVEMENT AND INPUT AS MUCH AS YOU, UM I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US SO AND I THINK WE CAN LIKE I SAID, SIT THROUGH THE MEETING HANG OUT AFTERWARDS, WE CAN CHAT AND SEE HOW WE CAN GET YOU INVOLVED. 
          OKAY? MARIA. THE OTHER THING, TOO. IS EVERYBODY UP HERE JUST VOLUNTEERED TO PARTICIPATE. SO IF THERE'S YOU KNOW, CONTINUED SUSTAINED INTEREST, THAT MIGHT BE AN AVENUE AS WELL. 
          EVERYBODY'S KIND OF IN A ROTATING TWO YEARS. I THINK IT'S A TWO YEAR TERM, BUT SO THERE'S LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GET INVOLVED. YEAH I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU MENTIONED SCHOOLS. COUPLE OF US ARE INVOLVED IN SCHOOLS. I TEACH SCIENCE, FIFTH GRADE AND RESTROOMS, MENTOR MINE GOOD FRIEND. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW. NAILED IT ON THE HEAD. I THINK WE'RE ALL TRYING TO KIND OF CONTINUE WHAT HE WAS WORKING ON. AND, UM RAPID FIVE. YOU KNOW, HE'S ALWAYS TALKING TO ME ABOUT THAT. AND A LOT OF THE OTHER THINGS YOU MENTIONED, UM YOU KNOW, I THINK IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GETTING INVOLVED WITH THE SCHOOLS, WE DO HAVE BASICALLY CONTINUING MOST OF THE SAME PROGRAMS THAT BUILD STARTED . SANDY REID IS THE PERSON WHO HAS HIS OFFICIAL JOB, I GUESS NOWADAYS BUT YEAH. YOU KNOW, I'D BE HAPPY TO EAT MEAT WITH YOU MORE INFORMALLY. SOMETIMES. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, YOU KNOW DIRECTLY WITH THAT SO I CANNOT. IF IT'S YOU'RE ABLE TO STICK AROUND AND GIVE ME MY INFO AT THE END, OR HAVE ANYONE. YEAH YOU CAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND LIKE CASE YOU WERE SAYING THAT IF HE'S ABLE TO STAY THROUGH THE MEETING WILL BE ABLE TO SEE SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. OVER THE LAST YEAR, SO AND ONE OF THE THINGS WAS RAPID FIVE. SO MORE IS KIND OF A PART OF THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF ORIGINAL PLANNING COMMISSION. I WORKED FOR MORE SCENES, SO THERE'S A GOOD CONNECTION WORKING WITHIN AND OTHER STAFF NUMBERS ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS, ONE THING THAT WE THAT YOU WILL BE RECENTLY RECEIVED WAS STATE SUSTAINABLE 2050 SILVER. TEAR RECOGNITION. YEAH UM, SO WE ARE MAKING SOME STRIDES, BUT I THINK THE ONE THING THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IS TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE WITH COMMUNICATION TO THOUGHT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE APPEARED DIDN'T KNOW. OR MAYBE I SHOULD SPEAK FOR MYSELF DIDN'T KNOW OF THE PLANNING PROCESS THAT WE HAD IN PLACE WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN FROM THE LARGER, UH, STRATEGIC LONG RANGE PLAN. SO I THINK THAT ONE THING THAT WE COULD ALWAYS TRY TO IMPROVE UPON IS THE COMMUNICATION OF THESE EFFORTS AND BRINGING IN MORE INPUT FROM FROM FROM YOU AND OTHERS. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK? WHO'S NOT ON THAT? TONIGHT'S JUNIOR, PLEASE COME ON UP THEN STATE NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD . DID YOU SAY ADDRESS? OKAY COOL. MY NAME'S SAM ALEC. NEW ALBANY RESIDENT ADDRESS IS 7591 HAMPTON PARK ROAD IN THE OHIO 43054. I WAS INVITED UP HERE JUST TO EXPAND UPON AN EMAIL THAT I SENT TO MR BARNES AS WELL AS AN A I WOULD HAVE LOOKED ALL OF YOU GUYS IN, BUT I DON'T HAVE EVERYONE'S EMAIL. SO I DID ACTUALLY PRINTED OFF HERE, NOT JUST KIND OF WALK AROUND REAL QUICK. UM, JUST TO PASS IT OUT. 
          THANKS. SINGAPORE. OH, THANKS. UM OKAY, SO I'LL COME UP WITH THE BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT AND 
          [00:10:12]
I'LL GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT. UM THIS IS NOT MY FIRST MEETING. I KNOW. I'VE BEEN THE ONE BEFORE I MET MOST OF YOU GUYS. WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT RECYCLING, WHICH IS ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT I HAD BROUGHT TO THE TABLE PREVIOUSLY. AND SO KIND OF THE BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT IS I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A SUGGESTION OR PROPOSAL TO POTENTIALLY START A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT IS SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON UM, EXCELLENCE AND RECYCLING BEST PRACTICES AND WASTE DIVERSION. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATE. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT INITIATIVES IN FLIGHT. AND SO THE INTENTION BEHIND THIS IS REALLY TO MAYBE ADD SOME MORE FUEL TO THE FIRE FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS SPECIFICALLY FOR RECYCLING, BUT ALSO MAYBE LEVERAGING SOME OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADD SOME BANDWIDTH TO THOSE INITIATIVES KNOWING THAT EVERYONE HERE IS IN A VOLUNTEER ROLE. YOU GUYS ALL HAVE FULL TIME JOBS. BUT THIS IS ALSO STILL A REALLY IMPORTANT UM IMPORTANT MATTERS SO AS A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AND KIND OF WHAT INSPIRED THIS EMAIL THAT I SENT OVER. UH I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY OVER THE BEAUTIFUL NEW 16 PICKLEBALL COURTS THE OTHER DAY. UM WHICH WE'RE SUPER LUCKY TO HAVE HERE AS A COMMUNITY AND ON MY WAY OUT LIKE A LOT OF JUST SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL COMPLEXES. I NOTICED A LOT OF SINGLE USE PLASTIC BOTTLES SITTING ON BLEACHERS, THAT KIND OF THING. 
          UM AND SO AS I WENT OVER TO TRY TO THROW THEM OUT, I WAS KIND OF WALKING AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE COMPLEX. AND I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY RECYCLING BINS. SO AFTERWARDS, I SENT AN EMAIL TO AND, UH SEE SEE MR BARNES. I ALSO REACHED OUT TO DAVE ORTON, UM, WITH THE PERSONAL RECREATION AND HE RESPONDED AND ACTUALLY SAID, HEY THERE, THERE ARE SOME RECYCLING BINS, BUT THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE IN BETWEEN A COUPLE OF THE COURTS. AND WHAT WAS INTERESTING TO ME. WAS THAT KIND OF BROUGHT TO LIGHT THE VERY NEED FOR WHY I WANT TO BRING THIS. THIS COMMITTEE ■K72 ATTENTION OF THE IDEA FOR ONE, WHICH IS I THINK THAT IF OUR GOAL AS A COMMUNITY IS TO CHECK THE BOX AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WE OFFER RECYCLING RECEPTACLES IN THESE AREAS. UM WE CAN DO THAT AND WE CAN KIND OF DO THE BARE MINIMUM. BUT AS A COMMUNITY THAT REALLY TAKES PRIDE IN BEING A MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY. I THINK ABOUT HOW CAN WE TAKE THE SAME MENTALITY FOR HOW WE DESIGNED OUR SPACES AT LARGE? AND AS WE INTEGRATE SUSTAINABILITY? HOW CAN WE THINK ABOUT OUR PUBLIC SPACES, CITY OWNED SPACES AND IF WE'RE REALLY PLACING THINGS LIKE RECYCLING RECEPTACLES IN PLACES THAT ARE HIGH TRAFFIC AND THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY NOTICE BECAUSE TO ME LEAVING THAT PARK AND GOING WHAT IF I LITERALLY SENT AN EMAIL TO THE CITY AND DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE ARE RECYCLING BINS UNTIL I GOT AN EMAIL BACK, AND I WAS ACTIVELY LOOKING TO DISPOSE OF THESE THINGS IN THE RIGHT WAY THAT DEMONSTRATES TO ME THAT THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE CYCLING THROUGH THROWING AWAY THEIR THEIR CANISTERS FROM TENNIS BALLS OR PICKLE BALLS, THROWING AWAY THEIR GATORADE BOTTLES, ETCETERA , YOU KNOW, AFTER THESE THESE EVENTS ARE THESE HIT SESSIONS SO AFTER THAT, I ACTUALLY KIND OF DROVE AROUND BECAUSE I WAS, LIKE, ALL RIGHT. I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY FOOT IN MY MOUTH BEFORE I SEND AN EMAIL HERE. I SHOULD PROBABLY SCOPE OUT SOME OF THE OTHER PARKS. AND SO I DID, AND I DROVE AROUND A LITTLE BIT. AND AS I WAS TALKING TO DAVE ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, I MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THIS BIG BLUE TUBS BY THE SOCCER FIELDS WHEN PEOPLE GET OFF THE FIELDS, UM, YOU KNOW FOR TRASH, BUT THE RECYCLING BINS ARE ALL CONSOLIDATED TO UNDERNEATH WHERE THE CONCESSIONS ARE. AND HE MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS SOME DESIGN REASONS FOR THAT RELATED TO RAINWATER AND WHATEVER ELSE BUT YOU KNOW, MY ANSWER BACK WAS HEY, LOOK, I TOTALLY GET IT, BUT I GREW UP PLAYING REC SPORTS AROUND HERE AND I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW FOR ME . YOU MAYBE HAD A SNACK FROM ONE HAND IF YOU'RE LUCKY, AND YOU STILL DID SNACK, YOU HAD A SOCCER BALL OR A BASEBALL BAG. AND THEN MY CASE WAS CARRYING CHAIRS FOR MY GRANDPARENTS. THE LAST THING I'M WANTING TO DO IS WALK MY WATER BOTTLE ALL THE WAY TO THE RECYCLE BIN. I'M LOOKING FOR THE QUICKEST WAY TO DISPOSE OF IT AND HAVE A FREE HAND. AND SO WHAT I'M GONNA HIGHLIGHTING HERE IS I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US AS A COMMUNITY AND ALSO AS A COMMITTEE OR SUBCOMMITTEE TO TAKE A MORE INTENTIONAL LOOK AT SOME OF THESE SPACES THAT WE KNOW HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC. A LOT OF VOLUME, UM, THAT I WOULD REALLY CONSIDER AS HIGH IMPACT BUT ALSO HIGH CONTROL BECAUSE THE CITY OVERSEES THE PARTIAL PERSON, REX OVERSEES THE PARKS. UM CITY BUILDINGS. THAT TYPE OF THING. AND MY RECOMMENDATION HERE ULTIMATELY IS TO POSSIBLY CONSIDER FORMING A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT WOULD FOCUS ON THREE SPECIFIC THINGS ALL RELATED TO THIS PILLAR OF RECYCLING AND WASTE DIVERSION. UM THING, NUMBER ONE IS OPTIMIZING RECYCLING AT CITY PARK FACILITIES IN PARKS AND AS A KIND OF DETAILED IN THIS EMAIL HERE, THE THOUGHT WAS, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS WE COULD GET SOMEONE FROM RUM CAY. YOU KNOW THEY'RE VERY INVOLVED WITH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. TO DESIGN SOMETHING WITH US LIKE MAYBE A CHECKLIST OR A RUBRIC FOR RECYCLING BEST PRACTICES OUTDOORS RECYCLING BEST PRACTICES WITHIN BUILDINGS . AND THEN THIS SMALL GROUP COULD ACTUALLY INVENTORY SOME OF 
          [00:15:02]
THE PUBLIC SPACES OR GOVERNMENT OWNED SPACES IN NEW ALBANY, SUCH AS ALL THE PARKS GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS, PUBLIC SERVICE DEPARTMENT SCHOOL POTENTIALLY IN THIS COMMITTEE COULD ONE BY ONE GO AND PERFORM SOMEWHAT OF AN AUDIT FOR LACK OF BETTER WORD AND MAYBE EVEN DROP SOME LITTLE RECOMMENDED. PLANS FOR HOW TO BETTER DISPERSE RECYCLING BINS. HOW TO MAYBE DRAW MORE ATTENTION WAS SIGNAGE AND EVEN BALANCE OUT THE RATIO OF TRASH TO RECYCLE BIN SINCE RIGHT NOW THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE THERE HEAVILY WEIGHTED TOWARDS TRASH. I THINK AT THE PICKLEBALL FACILITIES, THERE'S PROBABLY FOUR RECYCLE OR FOUR TRASH CANS FOUR OR FIVE TRASH AGAINST EVERY RECYCLING BIN. AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT A LOT OF THEM BEING WHERE THEY ARE. IT'S NOT LIKE PEOPLE ARE THROWING BABY DIAPERS AWAY. THEY'RE THROWING AWAY PLASTIC BOTTLES, WHICH ARE, YOU KNOW VERY PREVENTABLE FROM RECYCLING STANDPOINT, SO THAT WAS KIND OF THING. NUMBER ONE FOCUSING ON THAT AREA. THE NUMBER TWO IS THINKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE FORWARD AND ENCOURAGE RECYCLING AMONGST COMPANIES? I CONSTANTLY CALL OUT STARBUCKS BECAUSE THEY DON'T RECYCLE. EVERYONE HERE GOES TO STARBUCKS, YOU KNOW, THINKING ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF WASTE THEY GENERATE EVERY SINGLE DAY TO ME IS UNACCEPTABLE. AND I THINK THAT I'M NOT RECOMMENDING PUNITIVE MEASURES. BUT INSTEAD, HOW CAN WE CREATE A SENSE OF PRIDE IN LEGITIMACY? AND GETTING THESE COMPANIES. I'M SORRY THESE COMPANIES HERE EXCITED ABOUT BEING IN NEW ALBANY AND KNOWING THAT BEING PROBABLY MEANS WE RECYCLE FOR GONNA DO BUSINESS HERE. HOW DO WE START TO GET SOME KIND OF MOVEMENT AROUND THAT AND I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO ALL THESE, BUT I THINK A FOCUSED EFFORT TO GET PEOPLE TOGETHER AND BRAINSTORM. COULD NOT ONLY BE AN EXCITING WAY FOR US TO REALLY WALK THE WALK ON THAT SUSTAINABILITY PILLAR, BUT I TRULY BELIEVE LIKE THESE THINGS THAT I'M THROWING OUT. HERE ARE QUESTIONS THAT EVERY SINGLE COMMUNITY IS SCRATCHING THEIR HEAD. ONGOING WE'RE TRYING . THERE'S NO ONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS TIME TO DEVOTE TO THIS AND I THINK THAT IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO VOLUNTEER AND GET INVOLVED. IT WOULD BE A REALLY COOL CASE STUDY. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE COULD MEASURE FROM A WASTE DIVERSION STANDPOINT TO THAT COULD THEN BECOME SORT OF LIKE MERCHANDISE. HERBAL MARKETING ASSETS, BUT I THINK IT ESPECIALLY WHEN WE THINK ABOUT INTEL COMING AND THE NEW RESIDENTS, POTENTIALLY IN THE NEW ACTIVITY. I THINK THE TIME IS NOW TO GET OUR HOUSE IN ORDER ON THIS, AND I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF, YOU KNOW, EVALUATING 2024 PRIORITIES . UM, SO MY HOPE IS THAT THIS IS ONE THAT THERE WOULD BE HIGH ON THAT LIST AND THAT AS YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT HOW DO WE MANAGE THIS ALL THAT MAYBE THIS IS AN INVITATION TO GET SOME OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS INVOLVED IN HELPING UM, AT LEAST ADD SOME BANDWIDTH TO SOME OF THOSE INITIATIVES. SO THAT'S MY PIECE HERE. I'M HAPPY TO TALK OFFLINE OR ANSWER QUESTIONS OR WHATEVER ELSE. UM I SHOULD HAVE TO FACILITATE A GROUP AT 8 P.M. SO I CAN'T SAY FOR THE WHOLE MEETING. OTHERWISE I'D LOVE TO, BUT THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE TIME. 
          THANKS I APPRECIATE IT HAD A GREAT IDEAS THERE, UM, THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED THIS ON THE EFFECT HERE WITHIN. UM BUT SOMEONE ELSE WANTED TO ADD ANYTHING. WELL YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT THE ONLY ONE TO SEE ALL THE RECYCLING ON THE IN THE PARKS. LAST YEAR, WE HAD A SENIOR SEMINAR PROJECT PRESENT AND THAT HE DID DATA ON WHAT HE SAW WHAT LITTLE HE SAW AND MAJORITY OF IT WAS RECYCLING IN PARK. YEAH I THINK IT'S RIGHT. I THINK IT IS. I THINK IT IS REALLY TIMELY TOPIC. I THINK SOME PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT A LOT. I'M ON THE FACEBOOK NEW ALL THE DISCUSSION BOARD AND THAT WAS A BIG TOPIC OF DISCUSSION THIS WEEK WITH ROSARY ON PARK PARTICULARLY, UM , YOU KNOW, TRASH IS MOSTLY RECYCLING. IT'S BEING LEFT BEHIND. YEAH AND, YOU KNOW, CAN WE GET SOME BINS DOWN THERE AND THAT TYPE OF THING? AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, EMAIL WITH BRIAN SMITH FROM PARKS AND REC ABOUT THIS AND I THINK THEY ARE WILLING TO MAKE SOME CHANGES AND TO. TO IMPROVE IN THAT AREA. BUT I DO THINK YOU KNOW SOME AH, PRESSURE FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND SOME MORE INFORMATION AND SOME HELP, LIKE WHERE AND LAND AND WHAT DO WE NEED ALL THOSE SORTS OF DETAILS? I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. WE LAST MEETING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MORE ABOUT COMPOSTING AND YOU KNOW WE HAVE THE DROP OFF. COMPOST PROGRAM NOW, BUT WE'RE HOPING TO GET MAYBE MORE BUSINESSES AN AREA COMPOSTING SIMILAR FOOD, BUT YOU KNOW, I AGREE WITH YOU, I THINK MAKING SURE THAT LOCAL BUSINESSES OUT OF CYCLING AVAILABLE IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT. 
          SO YEAH, I THINK IT'S ALL REALLY WELL SAID NICE JOB. THE SAME. THANK YOU. I DO THINK THIS IS A TOPIC THAT DESERVES ATTENTION. AND I MEAN, I THINK IT'S FRANKLY , I THINK IT'S KIND OF LOW HANGING FRUIT. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE THAT DIFFICULT TO YOU KNOW. THAT COORDINATE SOMETHING BUT THE SAME POINT I GUESS. LET'S TAKE A STEP BACK. IS IT SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD, UH, 
          [00:20:04]
WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF COMEDIANS. SOME COMMITTEES SOMETHING ON THE BOARD. WE WANT TO TACKLE AS A BOARD. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW, LOGISTICALLY AS FAR AS CREATING SUBCOMMITTEES WHAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO. YES I CHECKED WITH OUR, UM CITY ATTORNEY AND AS LONG AS THERE'S NOT A QUORUM PRESENT. WE CAN CREATE SUBCOMMITTEES. I THINK THAT STRUCTURE UM, WOULD NEED TO BE FINE TUNED AND THEN THE BOARD WOULD NEED TO APPROVE WHAT SUBCOMMITTEES THAT THEY WANT TO HAVE. AND CAN WE DRAW OUTSIDE RESIDENTS FROM OUTSIDE. YEAH. YEAH I THINK THE IDEA COMMITTEE KIND OF STRUCTURED THAT WAY. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY TAKE THAT INTO THE BYLAWS OF THE COMMITTEE AND INCREASED HAVE TO DO ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO OURS. ACTUALLY, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION . SO IDEA DOESN'T HAVE ITS OWN SET OF BYLAWS FROM SUSTAINABILITY. HAS ITS OWN CODIFIED. ORDINANCE SO WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT. UM BUT I THINK IT MIGHT AND I HAVEN'T CHECKED. I THINK IN THERE DOES SAY THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CREATE SUBCOMMITTEES AS YOU DESIRE. MM HMM. YEAH AND AGAIN AS LONG AS THERE'S NOT A CORN PRESENT UP TO THREE OF YOU CAN BE THERE AS YOU HAVE TIME IN OUR EVIL. THANK YOU THINK, IF THERE WERE AT LEAST HOW IDEA, DID IT, UM THERE WERE SPECIFIC PEOPLE THEY HAD IN MIND THAT, UM THE BOARD OR THE PANEL, THEN WAS ABLE TO APPOINT SO COUNSEL POINTS. YOU YOU CAN APPOINT MEMBERS TO A WORKING GROUP OR SUB COMMITTEE. UM YEAH. SAME WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN SAID SUBCOMMITTEE. I SHOULD HOPE SO. ALRIGHT WELL, YEAH, I THINK THIS IS DEFINITELY WORTH DISCUSSION AND NAIL DOWN WHAT WE HAVE TO DO LOGISTICALLY AND, UM THANKS. SOMETHING THAT THAT YOUR TIMING IS GOOD BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR. NOT THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR. BUT EGGPLANT. GREAT YEAH. SO WE'LL GO ONE MORE ABOUT THE LOGISTICS LIKE CASE 10 ALLUDED TO AND BRING UP THE CONVERSATION. MAYBE AT THE NEXT MEETING, OKAY? WELL THANK YOU 
          [VI. Business]
BOTH. APPRECIATE IT. UM LOOKS LIKE WE'RE HIM AND DOWNTURN IT OVER TO STAFF OR BUSINESS ITEMS. GREAT WELL, FIRST UP, HAPPY TO SAY THAT THE STUDENT LEADERS IN SUSTAINABILITY PILOT GRANT IS NOW LIVE. UM SO FAR WE HAVE RECEIVED ZERO APPLICATIONS, BUT THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. I THINK, UM ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES, JACKIE RUSSELL, SHE'S THE HEAD COACH SAID SHE FORWARDED ON TO ALL OF HER, UM STUDENTS THAT LIKE ON THE BASKETBALL TEAM, AND ONE OF THEM MENTIONED THAT THEY'RE ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB WITH YOU AND, UM THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON IT? I DON'T KNOW. FROM THE RUMOR MILL. WHAT YOU'VE HEARD? WELL, SO WE ARE. IN NOVEMBER. WE DO A THING AT THE ZOO. IT'S CALLED EGO SUMMIT AND YOU MAKE A BIG PROJECT AT THE SCHOOL. UM ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY, SO WE MIGHT USE THAT. THE TERMINAL. FIGURE IT OUT. BUT OKAY? WELL FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT WITH QUESTIONS OR IF YOU WANT TO, LIKE WORK THROUGH THINGS. THE WHOLE BOARD IS HERE TO LISTEN. THAT'S WHAT WAS ME. 
          UM I WAS JUST GOING TO CONVINCE THAT IT FEELS LIKE YOU DID NICE JOB OF PUSHING A BIG BROAD NET OUT THERE. I BELIEVE I SAW THEM WITH DAN. SO IT'S NICE TO THINK THAT WE JUST DIDN'T SET OUT TO THE SCHOOLS AND THINKING THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT YOU'RE GONNA CAST A BROADER NET TO GET PARENTS. THEY IGNORE RECKLESS TO ME AND THE KIDS AND OURSELVES. NO I DON'T GET PEACH JAR. HAVE YOU? HAS IT BEEN IMPEACHED CHARTER? DUDE WHO GETS IT? WOULDN'T IT WAS THE PEACHES? ALRIGHT DID THE NEW VERSION OF THE CHARTS CALLED SOMETHING ELSE NOW, BUT I DIDN'T SEE IT ON THERE. YEAH SO I DEFINITELY WENT OUT ON FACEBOOK AND PEOPLE SHARING IT WITH ONE ANOTHER. I THINK, LIKE GIRL SCOUT LEADERS THOSE TYPES SO GREAT. YEAH CAN YOU REMIND US? UH HOW MUCH MONEY AND LIKE, HOW MANY? POTENTIALLY COULD WE AWARD. HOW MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS SO IT'S COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON LIKE YOU CAN DO AS MANY GROUPS AS POSSIBLE. I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT 20,000 IN THE BUDGET FOR IT. UM AND THAT'S PART OF OUR DISCUSSION TONIGHT. IT WAS BUDGETED FOR THIS YEAR BASED ON THE DEADLINE MIGHT MAKE MORE SENSE TO JUST HAVE THOSE FUNDS 
          [00:25:03]
AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. UM DEPENDING ON. WE'RE NOT ABLE TO ENCUMBER FUNDS WITHOUT. THINGY VENDOR OR A P O THAT WE HAVE TO OPEN FOR SPECIFIC PERSON OR COMPANY AND WE CAN'T. SO YEAH, WE CAN CREATE THAT UNTIL THE AWARDS ARE GIVEN. AND SO THE TIMING IS KIND OF TRICKY. UM, AND THERE'S NO WAY TO REALLY LIKE. YEAH INCOME RESPONDS FOR THEM TO CARRY OVER. SO WE MIGHT JUST COPY AND PASTE THAT MONEY INTO NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. REGARDLESS APPROXIMATELY 20 GRAND IS WHAT WE BUDGETED FOR IT. AND I THINK WE INTENTIONALLY LEFT IT OPEN ENDED SO WE HAD SOMEBODY THAT WANTED $200, AND IT WAS A GOOD PROGRAM. AND SOMEBODY THAT HAD A REALLY GOOD PROGRAM THAT WANTED THAT ASKED FOR 5000. SO WE CAN DO AS MANY AS YOU KNOW? PROGRAMS THAT COME ALONG. DECIDE HOW TO ALLOCATE THE FUNDS. ONCE AGAIN. CATIONS ARE IN SO VERY OPEN ENDED. IT'S GREAT. DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE ZOO ECHO TEAM SOME OF THIS THIS YEAR? IT'S EARLY NOVEMBER. NOW THAT NOVEMBER, I FORGET THE EXTENT BECAUSE MAYBE IT MIGHT BE HOPEFUL, WILLING PUSH IT BACK LIKE TWO WEEKS MAKE NOVEMBER FOR A DEADLINE. SO THAT WAY YOU CAN HELP THEM. FOR THEM. I DON'T KNOW. SO YOU STILL HAVE THAT YOU HAVE THAT ON YOUR BRAIN WHILE YOU'RE AT THE CONFERENCE AND THEN YOU'RE ABLE TO THEN WHAT'S THE CONTEXT FOR THE ZOO PROJECT ? DO YOU CREATE A PITCH THAT YOU PRESENT THERE? OR DO YOU LIKE, COME WITH YOUR PROJECT? YOU KIND OF COME WITH A SLIGHT IDEA. OKAY AND THEN. WORK ON IT AT THEIR OKAY? IT'S A IT'S A PRETTY GOOD PROGRAM I WENT LAST YEAR FREE FROM WORK ON HIS BEHALF. SCHOOLS FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE. NOW IT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO PUSH IT BACK, PARTICULARLY IF WE REMAIN AT OUR TIME. AFRICAN STANCE. 
          SYRUP. NO. IF MARBER HAS BEEN CONTACTED IN ANY WAY. UM OLD DOUBLE CHECK WITH JOSH, POLAND. 
          HE WAS GOING TO REACH OUT TO SOME OF THOSE CONTEXTS THAT HE HAD, UM AND I'LL MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE IN ON ANY OF THE OTHER COMMUNICATIONS SO GOT SOME NICE GROUPS THERE THAT COULD PROBABLY WORK ON IT, TOO. DEFINITELY. IT'S LIKE THE HUGE DAY SCHOOL, THEY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE. AS WELL AS THEIR IN NORMAN. OK, YEAH. SCIENCE CONTACT THERE. I CAN AFFORD IT TO HER. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I THINK I THINK THEY WERE ON THE LIST TO THAT. JOSH WAS GONNA FORWARD TO ALL OF HIS LIKE COMMUNICATION MARKETING CONTACTS OF THESE PLACES. UM, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY CONFIRM WHAT THAT LIST WAS. UM AND IF THERE ARE OTHERS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT I CONFIRM THAT THEY HEARD ABOUT IT. UM PLEASE, LET ME KNOW. I'M HAPPY TO SEND IT OUT. SO IT'S ELIGIBLE TO STUDENTS THAT LIVE IN NEW ALBANY. AND OR ATTEND SCHOOL IN NEW ALBANY. IT'S FOR STUDENTS WHO LIVE IN NEW ALBANY AND. 
          GROUPS CAN APPLY AS LONG AS THE MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS IN THE GROUP ARE WOMEN WHO ALL BECAME JUST KIND OF COMPLEX. BUT IF THEY IF THEY LIVE IN NEW ALBANY, BUT ATTEND ST CHARLES, THAT'S COMPLETELY FINE, OKAY? BUT IF THEY ATTEND MAR BURN BUT DON'T LIVE IN NEW ALBANY. THANK NOT IF I AS AN INDIVIDUAL OKAY? AND I'VE BEEN YOU DID CLARIFY THAT WHEN WE SEND IT TO OBVIOUSLY IN APPLE'S MHM. IT'S NOT AN ISSUE, BUT SOME OF THESE OTHER LIKE THE DAY SCHOOL. YEAH, IT'S INTERESTING. MARBURG. BECAUSE THIS TO PULL FROM WELL OUTSIDE OF NEW ARGUING. OKAY? SO WE DO HAVE THE Q AND A SESSION SCHEDULED DURING OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING IN OCTOBER. SO FOR THOSE PURPOSES IT IS WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A QUORUM SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT MEETING. UM JUST THAT OUT THERE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. SO I GUESS TO CIRCLE BACK. FORGOTTEN IN FRONT OF ME, BRIAN REALLY? DO YOU THINK IT IS WORTHWHILE TO POTENTIALLY PUSHED BACK THE DEADLINE OR OCTOBER? 31ST? OKAY. I THINK IT'S FUN. I THINK PEOPLE. SO, UM, NEXT UP. I 
          [00:30:17]
WANTED TO TOUCH ON THIS INVASIVE SPECIES TRADING PROGRAM AND YOU HAVE A PAGE IN YOUR PACKET. UM APOLOGIES FOR THE BOTTOM STAPLE. THE PRINTER WAS FEELING SNAZZY TODAY. UM, SO THE INVASIVE PLANT TRADING PROGRAM WE HAVE THIS FRAMEWORK THAT UM, WE PULLED FROM WILD ONES. UM THEY IMPLEMENTED THIS PROGRAM IN WEST COOK. UM COULD BE ILLINOIS NEAR CHICAGO. UM AND SO THE IDEA OF HOW THIS WOULD WORK IS THE CITY PROVIDES A LIST OF INVASIVE SPECIES THAT ARE COMMON IN THE AREA THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO TARGET. UM AND ALSO TIPS OR APPS THAT ARE HELPFUL FOR IDENTIFYING THOSE INVASIVE SPECIES IN YOUR OWN YARD. RESIDENTS REMOVE THAT. TAKE A PICTURE WITH THE. THE DEAD HANGING INVASIVE PLANT AND , UH THEN SUBMIT THAT WITH AN ONLINE FORM AND THIS IN THE PACKET, YOU CAN SEE THE ENTIRE FORM THAT THEY HAVE. AS WELL AS THEIR CRITERIA. WAR. UM WHAT THEY REQUIRE FOR PEOPLE. TO DO, UM. THIS CITY AND WILL VERIFY WHAT WE SEE AN EMAIL. UH WE'RE ON THE ONLINE FORM AND THEN THE CITY WILL MAIL THEM A VOUCHER, SO OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE VOUCHERS. SO THAT WAY THAT THE TIMING FOR THIS ISN'T LIMITED TO JUST THIS FALL PLANTING SEASON, THEY CAN GET A VOUCHER AND USE IT THIS FALL, OR THEY COULD USE IT. UM LIKE WHAT IN THE SPRING OR NEXT FALL. UM WE BUDGETED FOR A LOT OF PLANTS WE BUDGETED FOR 200. PLANTS UM, $40 APIECE, SO WE HAVE A GOOD CHUNK SET ASIDE FOR THIS. UM AND IN THEORY, THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR 15 GALLON SIZED NATIVE PLANT. OF COURSE, IT'S IT'LL BE ABOUT YOUR SO THE SIZE COULD VERY AH AND THEN AS PART OF THE CRITERIA THAT THEY WOULD INCLUDE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SAY IT'S OKAY TO USE THIS PICTURE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. IT'S OKAY TO YOU. THAT'S THAT WOULD HELP US CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THE PROGRAM, AND I WOULD BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY PLANTS BUDGETED. I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE LIKE A COMPETITIVE THING. WE COULD MAKE IT ROLLING THROUGH THE YEAR IF WE WANTED. THAT IS UP TO YOU HOW YOU WANT TO DO THAT. I ALSO INCLUDED IN OUR DRAFT BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR. A QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANTED TO CARRY THIS OVER. INTO NEXT YEAR. IT'S CHALLENGING BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO ASSESS THE PROGRAM BEFORE NEXT YEAR, BUT UM WE CAN ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, START SMALL AND THEN BUILD IT NEXT YEAR. LOTS OF THERE ARE LOTS OF POSSIBILITIES RELATED TO THIS PROGRAM. UM. AND I THINK A BIG COMPONENT OF THAT IS THAT EDUCATION PIECE OF WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO REMOVE THE INVASIVE PLANTS? UM, AND WHY? REPLACING THOSE WITH NATIVE SPECIES ARE BENEFICIAL. UM. SO. I GUESS AS YOU WALK THROUGH THIS IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THINGS THAT YOU THINK. WE SHOULD DEFINITELY INCLUDE THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE. UH HUH. I LIKE IT. I LIKE THE SHOW OF IT, YOU KNOW, BUT THEN A SUPPORTER OF THIS IDEA UM UNDERSTANDING, I GUESS FROM OF ITS. A LITERAL WHO WOULD PUT TOGETHER WHATEVER THIS LIST IS AND SIMILARLY THAT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH WHATEVER THE CITY HAS ALREADY BEEN DOING ON CITY ON PROPERTIES. UM I DON'T THINK IT HAS TO BE LIMITED TO THAT. BUT YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND KIND OF WHAT WE'RE TARGETING. UM AND THEN I AS I'M LOOKING AT THIS, I THINK THAT PICTURE THINGS COOL. BUT GETTING SIGN OFF THAT THAT IS, IN FACT, INVASIVE STATION IS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, AFTER A COUPLE THAT I KNOW THAT I KNOW MANY OF THE THINGS ARE, BUT I COULD SIT IN MY YARD AND GO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW. THREE OF THESE PLANTS ARE THEY ARE AREN'T UM, SO HAVING SOME OPPORTUNITY TO EITHER HAVE THROW IT OUT THERE, SOMEBODY COMING TO THE SITE VISIT TO SAY YES, THIS THIS THIS IS NOT THESE THINGS KIND OF THING. COULD OR SHOULD BE AN OWNER. AND THAT'S AND THEN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE 
          [00:35:04]
SIZE OF THE LOTS ARE THAT THIS PROGRAM WENT AFTER, BUT I WOULD I'M SPEAKING TO THE BACK LEVEL. 
          DIAMOND THERE. THREE QUARTER TWO ACRE LOTS. YOU COULD HAVE SOMEONE GOING AFTER A LOT OF PLANTS SO IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO CONSIDER SOME LIMITATION AS TO YOU KNOW SOMETHING TO 10 TO 20. 
          HER HOUSE KIND OF THING. I THINK THE ONLY OTHER THING IS ARE YOU GOING TO ARE WE GOING TO THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE EXPECTING THE HOUSEHOLD. THE PROPERTY OWNER TO SUBMIT THIS. THIS ISN'T LIKE I'M HAVING NICOLA'S SIGNIFICANTLY SO THEY WORK ON WHERE DOES IT MATTER? I'M SORRY. SAY THAT AGAIN, JUST LIKE YOU KNOW, WE'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION BEFORE THE MEETING ABOUT THE FACT THAT I COULD PROBABLY COUNT ON TWO HANDS. PEOPLE THAT WORK ON THEIR OWN YARDS CONSISTENTLY SO FRENCH FRONT FIGURE OUT WANTING ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW A LANDSCAPE COMPANY THE COMPANY AND SUBMIT THESE FOR SOMEBODY. I DIDN'T THINK SO. ALEX THAT'S MY THAT'S UP TO YOU, I GUESS WOULD BE YEAH. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT'S SOMETHING WE COVER IN THE IN THE YEAH. DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN'T PLANT THEM FOR THEM. BUT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I WOULD POSE FOREVER FUNDS. UM COMMENTING ON LOGISTICS, AND MAYBE MARY LOU, YOU ARE ABLE TO COMMENT ON THIS MORNING. 
          LOGISTICALLY HAVING MARY LOU'S TEAM GO OUT AND INVESTIGATE EACH PERSON WHO HAS THAT JUST ADDS A LOT OF STEP IN A LOT OF STAFF TIME THAT I DON'T MISS. I DON'T THINK IT'S POSSIBLE IN THE FALL SEASON, ESPECIALLY I THINK, HAVING LIKE AN APP WE WERE GOING TO SUGGEST, LIKE A FEW APPS THAT ARE FREE WILL MAKE IT EASY BECAUSE THE APP SATURDAYS ARE SO GOOD LIKE YOU JUST TAKE A PICTURE, AND THERE ALMOST ALWAYS ACCURATE IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT. I'M LAUGHING AT THE APP I HAVE IS WORTHLESS. A LOT OF THE ONES THAT I USE. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, I USE GOOGLE LENS THAT IS, LIKE REALLY ACCURATE. A LOT OF THE TIME. UM AND SINCE WE'RE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, PUSHING, LIKE HONEYSUCKLE PAIR LIKE THESE ARE REALLY COMMON THINGS THAT AREN'T GOING TO BE TOO TERRIBLY DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY. SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD. AND THEN IF THEY, YOU KNOW, SENDING THE PICTURE I MEAN, MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN HAVE THE OPTION TO HAVE THEM SEND IN A PICTURE BEFORE THEY CUT IT DOWN. IF THEY'RE NOT SURE, MAYBE THAT COULD BE AN OPTION. UM RATHER THAN, BUT, YEAH, I DON'T THINK WE REALLY HAVE THE TIME TO LIKE, DRIVE OUT AND LOOK AT EACH EACH ONE HAS ANOTHER HAPPENS. UNFORTUNATELY. MISS HERE, IT SAYS, UM YOU WILL ENSURE THAT THE PLANT IS NOT REGROW. BY DOING THESE THINGS WILL BE ALSO EXPLAIN IN OUR DIGITAL STUFF LIKE WHAT THAT IS AND HOW TO DO IT. I FEEL LIKE SOME OF THOSE COULD BE JUST YEAH . YEAH, WE'LL DEFINITELY HAVE TO INCORPORATE THOSE TECHNIQUES AND . TO SOME OF THE EDUCATION COME FROM IT. WHEN YOU CRIED HERE, YOU'RE SEEING ONE TREE OR SHRUB WOULD BE GIVEN PER RESIDENT. 
          IT'S SO THIS IS THE SAME. SO THAT'S WHAT WILD ONES DIDN'T, UM, THIS CASE STUDY? YEAH. 
          COMPLETELY OPEN. TO SINCE WE DID BUDGET FOR SO MANY. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT MORE THAT THAT NUMBER IS COMPLETELY UP TO YOU. BECAUSE THE GOAL THE GOAL IS TO GET RID OF THIS. AND VICIOUS, INVASIVE SPECIES. SO I HATE TO KEEP USING MY OWN PROPERTY AS AN EXAMPLE. BUT HALF AN ACRE OF HONEYSUCKLE. THAT'S MIGHT BE CLEARING THE ENTIRE THING FOR THIS PROCESS, BUT WE PROBABLY GO AFTER A COUPLE OF THEM. AS A CITIZEN, SO I GOT GLAD TO DO IT. BUT TO BE INCENTIVIZING PEOPLE TO TAKE THAT KIND OF ACTION. I DON'T THINK I DON'T. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER CAPPING IT. BECAUSE OF THAT, NOT BEING JUST GO FOR IT AND SEE HIM. YOU CAN GET KIND OF THING. BUT I WANT TO DO MORE THAN ONE. YEAH, IT SEEMS REASONABLE TO ME. I DO THINK OF CATHERINE MAKES SENSE. I DON'T KNOW FIVE OR AND YOU SAID YOU HAD 200. YES, THEY LET'S SAY FIVE. HMM TAKE IT ALWAYS, UM, APPLY AGAIN NEXT YEAR WE'RE DOING YEAH. IT'S MY OTHER QUESTION. I CAN SEE MY IF I ADVERTISE WITH MY STUDENTS THERE. BE CURIOUS IF THE INVASIVE SPECIES THAT THEY'RE REMOVING HAS TO BE ON THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY. VERSUS LIKE 
          [00:40:02]
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF KIDS HAVE PLENTY SUCKLE, MAYBE IN THE WOODS BORDERING THEIR PROPERTY, OR THAT TYPE OF THING. UM I WOULD NOT ENCOURAGE THEM TO GO PULL PLANTS FROM THE PROPERTIES THAT'S NOT THEIRS AGAIN. AGREE PROPERTY? YEAH WE DID IT SWIGER WOODS, BUT IT'S LIKE SUPERVISED , BUT I GUESS I'M JUST CURIOUS IF WE NEED TO MAKE THAT MORE CLEARED IN THE CRITERIA LIKE MUST BE ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY OR YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT. FOR CHARLES. I MEAN FOR 171. I MEAN AND FOR THAT MATTER WILL BE CERTAIN PART OF OUR PROMOTION COULD BE CITY STAFF, PULLING ONE FROM SOME PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF INVASIVE. YOU SPECIFICALLY BUT INVASIVE PLANTS AND, UM, SAME CITY STAFF ARE PULLING UP YOUR TURN. IT WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE I KNOW YOU KNOW, LIKE O D AND R. THE HOBBIES EVENTS WHERE THEY MEET SOMEWHERE AND THEY PULL AND MASONS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF WE I MEAN, THIS IS FOR ANOTHER YEAR, BUT PLANNING EVENT LIKE THAT. 
          AND THEN THAT WOULD BE LIKE YOUR GOING AWAY PRIZE YOU GET INTO TREE OR SOMETHING TO TAKE WITH THE INTERNET COME UP. I AM CURIOUS. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HANDLE THE WE'RE MAKING RECOMMEND YOU TAKING STEPS TO PREVENT RE SPROUTING. BECAUSE I KNOW THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE DONE. THE HONEYSUCKLE. RIGHT I MEAN, WE JUST HAVE THE WILD ONES LIKE PLAN FOR IT. AND ALSO EVERYTHING IS STILL DEFINITELY UP FOR LIKE, MASSAGING BECAUSE I MEAN SOME THINGS. YEAH, YOU HAVE TO TREAT THEM WITH HERBICIDE. OR TOTALLY REMOVED THE ENTIRE STUMP. YOU KNOW, SO THAT WOULD REQUIRE SOME MORE LANGUAGES THERE TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND. GOOD NEWS SERVICE SIDE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS, YOU KNOW, UM A LOT OF THINGS. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN PULL SMALL PLANTS THE WHOLE THING OUT OF THE GROUND LIKE USED TO WEED WRENCHES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO THERE ARE POSSIBLE YOU KNOW OPTIONS. BESIDES, SHE'S USING HER BESIDE YEAH, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS WANT TO DO? YOU GUYS WANT TO PUT IT IN THERE? YOU KNOW HOW STRINGENT YOU WANT TO BE COMPARED TO THIS, UH, THIS PLAN. YEAH I MEAN, IT'S YOUR JUNIOR STAFF WANTED YOU LIKE SERIES OF WEBINARS OR LIKE A LITTLE HOW TO IT MIGHT BE A THAT WOULD BE FUN FOR THE STAFF BUT ALSO MAYBE NOT FUN FOR MY STAFF , MAYBE FUNCTION ME WONDER HOW YOU'RE GONNA HANDLE THAT? YEAH THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. DO YOU WANT TO PLAY THE WELL, SURE. I DO YOU HAVE A SHORT I MEAN, OTHER THAN THOSE TO THINK. WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU BE THINKING INCLUDE SORRY. 
          WHAT PLANTS WOULD WE INCLUDE? LET ME TALK TO YOU ABOUT MIKE. SO WE WERE THINKING, YOU KNOW, LIKE HIGHLIGHTING, LIKE FOUR BIG SPECIES, HONEYSUCKLE PAIR MULTIPLE AROSE. MAYBE ATLANTIS STUFF THAT'S LIKE, REALLY, REALLY COMMON. UM AND THEN WE COULD HAVE RESOURCES FOR FINDING THE OTHERS. WE COULD INCLUDE, LIKE THE WHOLE LIST. THAT'S GRAB . IT'D, UM YOU KNOW ANY HIGHER ADVICE CODE. UM YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALSO INCLUDE OTHERS THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED. AS OF YET, IF YOU GUYS WANTED TO THAT'S AGAIN, THAT'S UP TO YOU. UM YOU KNOW THINGS LIKE UM, BARBERRY, ONLY CERTAIN VARIETIES OF BARBERRY ARE ACTUALLY PROHIBITED. AND THEY'RE THEY'RE KIND THAT AREN'T USUALLY SOLD IN NURSERIES, THE KIND THAT SOLD NURSERIES IT'S VERY INVASIVE IS NOT PROHIBITED. UM SO THERE'S THINGS LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW, WE COULD WE COULD DO IT. 
          HOW DO YOU GUYS WANTED TO DO IT? AND THEN, UM, FINGERS CAME TO MIND WAS BECAUSE WE HAD FRANKLIN. SOIL AND WATER OUT. COULD. THE VOUCHERS BE ONE OF ITS WORTH. INVESTIGATING WITH VOUCHERS COULD BE USED TO USE WITH THEIR ANNUAL PLANT SALE THAT IS IN THE SPRING. BUT THEY'RE JUST DOING NATIVE PLANTINGS. IT'S A GOOD IDEA. I WOULD ASSUME THAT IT WOULDN'T MIND HAVING THAT CONNECTION. YOU'RE NOT ONE GALLON PLANTS. THEY'RE HEARING, YOU KNOW. HARD CUTTINGS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT ONE THING THAT'S. INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PROGRAM. 
          I MEAN, THINKING ABOUT THE LIST OF INVASIVES. THEY SPECIFICALLY TARGET THESE SIX UM AND IN DOING THAT. YOU CAN. MORE THOROUGHLY EDUCATED ON WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE HOW TO FOLD THEM. YOU CAN ALSO SPECIFICALLY PICK THINGS THAT ARE MORE EASILY IDENTIFIABLE. SO THAT WAY YOU'RE NOT HAVING THOSE 
          [00:45:04]
QUESTIONS. ARE THEY PULLING OUT THINGS THAT THEY DON'T? THAT'S NOT WORTH IT. IS THAT DO YOU LIKE THAT HAVING A CONCRETE LIST, OR WOULD YOU? YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING RISK. 
          CURIOUS WHAT? WHAT WE THINK WE WOULD WANT TO DO IS A THREE IS A FOUR, IS IT BUT, YEAH, I THINK FEWER THE BETTER. BUT MORE THAN ONE RIGHT? I WOULD SUGGEST THAT AT LEAST I THINK LIKE 46 IS OH, GOOD NUMBER. I MEAN, BESIDES THE 4 TO 6 REALLY COMMON INVASIVES. AS PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO HAVE ANYTHING ELSE IN THEIR YARD. THAT ISN'T ONE OF THOSE, YOU KNOW. BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST NOT THAT COMMON. MARVIN IN THE BACKYARD ANYWAY. SO OUR GOAL WILL BE TO. I GUESS WE LAUNCHED THIS EITHER WITH. THE FRANKLIN COUNTY SOIL AND WATER COMMUNITY BACKYARDS PROGRAM THAT THEY'RE DOING ON SEPTEMBER 27. 26 27. UH OR THE WEEK AFTER THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER. UM IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH US BEING ABLE TO PUSH THAT OUT, KIND OF LIKE WE DID WITH THE STUDENT GRANT BEFORE THINGS ARE YOU DON'T HAVE A SOLID PLAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. BUT IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH US GOING AHEAD AND PUSHING THAT OUT. UM SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. I THINK SO, YEAH. I THINK IF WE WAIT MUCH LATER PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE INSIDE AND NOT WANTING TO DEAL WITH STUFF IN THEIR YARD. DO YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF INCLUDING THIS IN NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET AS WELL. YEAH I THINK WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT. THEN WE CAN UTILIZE MUCH OF THE GROWING SEASON. WORKS. I THINK IT'S PARTICULARLY WHILE TO BUILD ITS WORD OF MOUTH TONIGHT, THEN YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T EXPECT A HUGE NUMBER OF THIS YEAR, BUT I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING WORTH PURSUING. SO EVEN IF WE DON'T GET A LOT OF INTEREST THIS YEAR, I THINK, YOU KNOW. GOING FOR KENNETH. ESPECIALLY IF WE PUT OUT INFORMATION WHEN WE HAVE THE E DRIVE, AND THAT KIND OF THING, UM WE GET SO MANY PEOPLE TURN OUT FOR THAT. SO IF WE HAVE SOMETHING WE CAN HAND OUT TO THEM THERE WHEN YOU KNOW TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT OTHER PROGRAMS THAT ARE GOING ON. DO YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF THIS BEING ROLLING? OR WOULD YOU PREFER IT TO BE SEASONAL? UM I MEAN, WE COULD DO IT EVERY FALL AND EVERY SPRING WHAT SPECIFIC DATES OR WE COULD JUST HAVE IT ONGOING. UM WITH I THINK WITH THE HAVING SPECIFIC DATES, YOU TARGET MORE. PEOPLE KNOW. OKAY I HAVE A DEADLINE IN MIND. I NEED TO HAVE IT DONE BY THE STATE. IF YOU LEAVE IT ROLLING. PEOPLE MAY OR MAY NOT GET AROUND TO IT, BUT THEN IT'S AVAILABLE PEOPLE OF TIME. UM IT MIGHT GET LOST. THIS WEEK IN THE WEEDS. UM WOW. SAVE THAT ONE WASN'T PLANTED THAT, UM IT'S JUST A WHOLE YEAR ROUND RULING. THANKS. I DEFER TO MARY LOU FOR AND PUT ON THAT THAT MAKES SENSE. YEAH I MEAN, THE TIME OF YEAR THAT THEY REMOVE THEM, UM, KIND OF DOESN'T MATTER THEIR EASIEST TO IDENTIFY. I WOULD SAY IN LIKE, NOVEMBER. BECAUSE A LOT OF OTHER THINGS DON'T HAVE ANY LEAVES, AND THEY STILL DO. UM, BUT BESIDES THAT, I THINK LIKE AN DECIDED IT'S MORE THE EFFECT ON I THINK PARTICIPATION AND RATHER OR NOT, THEY JUST KEEP PUSHING IT, PUSHING THE BALL DOWN THE ROAD. I CAN I CAN DO IT WHENEVER PURSES. THE DOWNSIDE OF OH, CRAP. I MISSED THE DEADLINE. 
          WELL, I'M NOT GONNA BOTHER WITH IT NOW. SO KIND OF LIKE THE IDEA OF ROLLING AND ALSO HMM. 
          PROBABLY EDUCATED AT THE FARMERS MARKET TO WHICH KIND OF MY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE, TOO. PUSH PROGRAM ON BETTER THAT TYPE OF FUNCTION. YEAH IT COULD BE ROLLING AND THEN HAVE SCHEDULED TARGETED LIKE MEDIA BURSTS TO PROMOTE IT. YEAH. YEAH, I JUST I WANT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN IS HAVE IT BE A PROJECT. YOU'RE MANAGING PEOPLE LOSING VOUCHERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THIS IS MY ONLY CONCERN WITH HAVING THE WRONG WHEN YOU'VE GOT IT SET TIMES RETAILER PARTISAN LIKE I'VE GOT A COUPON. I GOT TO USE IT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. UM, AS OPPOSED TO I GOT THIS COUPON , BUT I DON'T I DON'T WORRY DID WITH IT AND THEN AND THE STAFF IS SITTING IN THE FRONT FIGURE. 
          [00:50:03]
I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED, SO I JUST DON'T WANT TO SELL THEM FOR BEING A HEADACHE. I MEAN, WE COULD PUT. DEPENDING ON HOW WE GET THE VOUCHERS WE COULD PUT CRITERIA ON THERE MUST CANNOT BE REPLACED . MUST YOU KNOW THAT KIND OF THING? OKAY YEAH. I MEAN, THERE'S THAT WORK THAT'S OPEN TO DOING THAT THING THAT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE SOME TIME SET UP TO PEOPLE. AFTERNOON. FORGET SOMEONE COMING IN. I WANT TO DO MY ENTIRE GARDEN ALWAYS GOT YOUR SIX YEARS. COOL. ANY OTHER. WHAT'S EXPECTATIONS IDEALS WITH THIS PROGRAM? AWESOME. GREAT. WHAT'S FUN IS IF WE DO THIS FOR ME, 123 WE WILL GET A NICE LITTLE MAP OF WHERE ALL THESE NATIVE PLANTS ARE GOING. SO WE CAN USE THAT GENERALLY TO SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC. HEY, WE'VE REPLACED THIS MANY PLANTS. WITH THIS MANY NATIVE PLANTS. IN THESE AREAS. 
          ALL RIGHT. THAT LINK IS JUST WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET. SO WE HAVE A NICE CHUNK OF EVENTS COMING UP HERE FOR UM DIVERTING WASTE FROM THE LANDFILL, THE FIRST BEING A HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION EVENT , OCTOBER 21ST FROM EIGHT TO NOON. UM, WE'RE LOOKING FOR ABOUT FIVE. FISH VOLUNTEERS, MAYBE, LIKE THREE FROM THE BOARD , AND THEN WE'LL MEET A COUPLE OF STAFF. UM DOES ANYONE KNOW FOR SURE? LAURA IT'S ALREADY ON MY CALENDAR. WHAT ARE THE ARMS 12? I THINK THAT CAN GO AT LEAST $2 MAN. OKAY. ME UNAVAILABLE. ARE YOU GOING TO STAY? OTHER TOWNS, THE COUNTRY. COOL. I'LL SEND OUT UM. PROBABLY LIKE A MORE FORMAL IF YOU WANT TO DO THANK YOU LIKE 2.5 HOUR SHIFTS SET UP TEAR DOWN, TRYING TO SAY OR IF YOU WANT TO BE THERE THE WHOLE TIME. DOESN'T MATTER. I CAN BE THERE THE WHOLE TIME. GO AND I KNOW A LOT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB IS LOOKING FOR SERVICE HOURS. ARE YOU LOOKING FOR MORE VOLUNTEERS FROM HIGH SCHOOL? YEAH GREAT. OKAY UM , THE COOL THING ABOUT THIS COMPANY THAT'S COMING IN. THEY COME IN, AND THEY BRING THEIR STAFF WITH THEM. THEY BRING THEIR TRAILER. THEY BRING EVERYTHING SO WHEREAS LIKE WITH THE E WASTE DRIVE, WE ARE PHYSICALLY DOING EVERYTHING WITH THEM. WE JUST DIRECT TRAFFIC AND SET UP SIGNAGE AND THAT KIND OF THING AND THEN UM THEY TAKE CARE OF ALL THE TOXIC WASTE SO. AND YEAH, THAT WILL HAVE IT AT PUBLIC SERVICE, AND WE'LL JUST HAVE PEOPLE. THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING INDOORS AND WE'LL HAVE THEM LOOP AROUND THE GARAGE. UM AND THEN, SO THEY'LL ENTER ON THE WALNUT EXIT ON BEVEL HEIMER. AND THEN FROM PUMPKIN COLLECTION THAT STARTS NOVEMBER 1ST. AND WE HAVE IT GOING AN EXTRA WEEK LONGER THAN WE DID LAST YEAR. GOING TO DECEMBER 8TH. UM AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL AVOID THE GREAT PUMPKIN DEBACLE OF 2022 THIS YEAR AND NOT WE'VE SERVICE A GIANT PILE OF PUMPKINS THANKSGIVING. UM THAT IS ALL SET TO GO THE NEXT TWO THINGS. WE HAVE THE POLITICAL YARD SIGN RECYCLING. 
          UM THE WEEK AFTER THE ELECTION. UM AND I KNOW WE HAVE SOME HOT BUTTON ISSUES, SO I EXPECT A LOT OF SIGNAGE. OKAY? UM THOSE DATES WILL BE MORE FIRMED UP. THEN WE'LL BE SENDING THAT OUTLET AND ALL OF OUR USUAL OUTREACH METHODS WE WILL HAVE UM, A DROP OFF HERE AT VILLAGE HOME IS WHERE WE DID IT LAST YEAR. DID ANY OF YOU USE THAT LAST YEAR? MM HMM. DID THAT. DID THE LOCATION SEEM OKAY? DID THE SORTING SYSTEM MAKES SENSE? WOULD YOU CHANGE IT? YEAH, AS LONG AS THE I FEEL LIKE A COUPLE JUST WHEN I WAS COMING AT SENIORS TO DROP OFF, BUT THERE WERE TIMES WHEN IT WAS PRETTY FULL. I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WANTED TO EXPAND IT TO MORE THAN ONE LOCATION OR JUST MAYBE WE SERVICED THIS ONE A LITTLE BIT MORE FREQUENTLY. WERE YOU COMING DOWN AND GRABBING THOSE AND TAKING THEM OR SOMEBODY ELSE GETTING THEM FROM HERE? NO 
          [00:55:02]
THERE'S A SERVICE THAT PICKS IT UP AND THEN, BUT THE ISSUE WE HAD LAST YEAR WAS IT WAS JUST OVER. IT WAS SPILLING OVER ALL OVER THE PLACE, SO WE DEFINITELY HAD TO HELP FACILITATE. 
          FORTUNATELY WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF EQUIPMENT TO DO THAT. BUT SO, YEAH, I MEAN, MAYBE WE COULD EVALUATE INCREASING THE INTERVAL AT CERTAIN TIMES, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE COMFORTABLE LEAVING. I THINK THEY ARE BASED ON THE PILES THAT WE HAVE SEEN. I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE ANY CONCERN ABOUT LEAVING IT RIGHT NEXT TO THE GREAT EXCELLENT CAN'T BUT BUT, YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK THAT COULD BE DONE DIFFERENTLY. THAT HAS COME HERE FOR SURE. GREAT. AND THEN LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, HOLIDAY LIGHTS. RECYCLING CASEY, I KNOW YOU NORMALLY HAVE THIS UP. I'M HAPPY TO REACH OUT TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. MAKE SURE THEY'RE STILL ON BOARD. UM AND THEN LAST YEAR, I MEAN LAST YEAR WE HAD MASSIVE ALL OF THEM THAT I'M WORRIED TO BE RECYCLED, SO HOPEFULLY, WE CAN DO THAT AGAIN . YEAH WELL, EITHER I OR YOU CAN KERRY POLLARD WITH THE TOWNSHIP . SHE'S THE ONE THAT KIND OF COORDINATES IT. UM AND I THINK SHE GETS THEM FIRE DEPARTMENT ON BOARD. THAT'S WILD. LIKE I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS ARE SWITCHING OVER FROM. TWO LED LIGHTS AND TAKE THEIR ENTIRE BOXING PLATES AND THE CAR. I'M NOT USING THESE ANYMORE GOING ALL LED NOW. IT'S IMPRESSIVE. HOW MANY LIGHTS COME IN. RIGHT? UM AND NOW WE CAN JUMP BACK THEIR PRIORITIES AND BUDGET. UM SO I PUT THIS UP. TO KIND OF DISTILL. I DON'T THINK A LOT CHANGED BASED ON OUR CONVERSATION LAST MONTH, BUT IT SEEMS DEFINITELY THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR PRIORITIES. ME ARE ARE STILL THE COMPOST PROGRAM, EXPANDING THAT EXPLORING BOTH A COMMERCIAL COMPONENT AS WELL AS A UM, CURBSIDE PICKUP COMPONENT. AND THEN THE NATIVE LANDSCAPING. UM IT'S BEEN MENTIONED A COUPLE TIMES TO DO A CITY PILOT PROJECTS THAT INCLUDES NICE EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT. UM, AS WELL AS OTHER COMMUNITY EDUCATION. PART OF THAT IS IF WE CONTINUE THIS TRADE IN PROGRAM THAT WILL BE A PART OF THAT. UM AND THEN OTHER THINGS MENTIONED WERE GOALS FOR ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLES OR ELECTRIC VEHICLES. UM AND SUSTAINABILITY WEB PAGE. SO THOSE ARE THOSE ARE THE NEW PROGRAMS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING TO THAT? MAYBE YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT WITH THE BUDGET ASSOCIATED BECAUSE THESE ARE THINGS TIED TO THE BUDGET. THEY'RE NOT. YEAH. I MEAN, SOME OF THESE THINGS JUST IF WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT A FRAMEWORK, OR WE'RE JUST LOOKING TO DO MORE RESEARCH OR HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING. THERE'S NO COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, UM OTHER THINGS. AND MAINLY THE CORRECTIVE IT EASE. THAT HAVE LIKE THESE ARE A CORRECTIVE IT EASE. IT'S. OVER 50% OF THE BUDGET. UM. SO WHAT? WHAT THIS BUDGET TOTAL INCLUDES. IT INCLUDES THE 20 GRAND WE BUDGETED FOR THE STUDENT LEADERS IN SUSTAINABILITY GRANT MM. AND . YEAH, I'LL JUST. SO THE COURT PROGRAMS THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT YOUTUBE EARTH DATA ARBOR DAY. SEASONAL COMPOSTING AND RECYCLING EVENTS, AND THEN THE ONGOING COMPOST PROGRAM THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE EXPANSION SO THE EXPANSION WOULD COME UNDER THE NEW PROGRAMS CATEGORY. 
          WHICH UM. I HAVE INCLUDED A, UM , SMALL BUDGET JUST IN TERMS OF IF WE'RE DOING ANY OUTREACH WITH COMMERCIAL PARTNERS THAT WE WOULD WANT TO HAVE MEETINGS AND PROVIDE SNACKS, OR IF YOU WANT TO OH, IF WE NEED TO HAVE ANY FUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT JUST TO COVER THOSE BASES. AN ONGOING PROGRAMS. I CARRIED OVER HALF OF THE COST OF THE INVASIVE SPECIES. TRADING PROGRAM. BUT. 
          THAT'S COMPLETELY NEGOTIABLE ENOUGH TO YOU. IN THE LONG RUN. REVIEWING AND UPDATING THE SUSTAINABLE 2050 STATUS. NO COST. UM AND THEN PRESENCE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET. FIGURED WE 
          [01:00:01]
WANT A GIVEAWAY ITEM. UM THAT WE CAN BUDGET FOREIGN. THAT IS ALSO WHAT YOU WANT. THAT GIVEAWAY ITEM TO BE MIGHT HELP SHAPE THAT. COSTS SOME MORE SO AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DRAFT. BUDGET AND SO I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK ON THE HEAD. IF YOU THINK THINGS NEED MORE THINGS NEEDLESS SOMETHING THAT MAKING SENSE. THERE'S NOT AN ERROR IN MY EXCEL SPREADSHEET WHEN WE DID THE WATER FILLING STATION. YEP. WORK WAS THAT ALL 100% GRANT MONEY. THAT WAS USED TO PAY FOR IT FOR THE SCHOOL. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, I DIDN'T KNOW HE MAY HAVE A ZERO BUDGET OUR IMPACT, BUT MAYBE IT'S ONE OF THOSE BUDGET. I DON'T SLIDE BEFORE ON THE CORRECTIVE, IT EASE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I THINK THAT'S IT. THERE'S OTHER AREAS THAT COULD BENEFIT THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD FIGHT OF ACT. HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS IS THAT JUST FOR ONE EVENT? YEP. AND SO HE GAVE US A DRAFT. A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF WHAT WE CAN EXPECT. AND HE SAID, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVENT, YOU CAN EXPECT 5 TO 10% OF YOUR POPULATION TO COME. AND THE COST IS $56 A CAR. SO FACTORING THAT IN TWO. IT CAME OUT TO BE PRETTY MUCH IT WAS SLIGHTLY OVER WHAT WE BUDGETED THIS YEAR. WE BUDGETED 75, AND IT WAS LIKE 17. 60. 17 600 SOMETHING LIKE THAT. UM I THINK IF WE ARE FOLLOWING THE TREND OF THE E WASTE DRIVE OVERESTIMATING IS PROBABLY WAY BETTER CONSIDERING WE CAME IN 1.5 TIMES WHAT WE BUDGETED FOR THAT THIS YEAR. WELL, I'M WONDERING IF, UM WE DIDN'T LIMIT THE E WASTE DRIVE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOW IT IDEA ANYTHING SHOWING WHERE YOU LIVED. I WONDER IF WE SHOULDN'T CONSIDER DOING THAT FOR THE HOUSEHOLD. HAZARDOUS. SURE ENOUGH. THANK YOU. NORMALLY RESIDENT. UTILITY BILL OR SOMETHING. YEAH, YEAH. HAVE YOU BEEN TO A DRIVER THAT THEY'VE DONE THAT BEFORE? UH NOT HERE BECAUSE WHEN I'VE EVER TAKEN STUFF DOWN INTO COLUMBUS. 
          TAKE THAT BACK. SOMEBODY'S ASKED ONCE FOR DRIVER'S LICENSES, SHOW AND ADDRESS THAT I'VE TAKEN STEPS BEFORE AND SPEND NOTHING BUT ANY OTHER CITY I'VE LIVED IN. THEY REQUIRE YOURSELF THIS YOUR IDEA, BUT WITH THE CURRENT ADDRESS SO THEY CHARGE PER CAR. REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DROP OFF ? NO, THAT'S JUST HOW THEY GIVE YOU A ROUGH ESTIMATE. UM BUT IT AVERAGES OUT TO $56 A CAR, BUT IT'S BASED ON THE ITEMS THAT ARE TURNED IN. SO HE GAVE AN EXAMPLE. IT'S BEEN A MONTH SINCE I TALKED TO HIM, UM. THERE'S SOMETHING THAT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO JUST LIKE A PROPANE TANK THAT USED FOR THE GRILL. IS THAT PROPANE? HMM? I'M A CHART BOY PROGRAM SAY AGAIN, SENSEI, WHEN YOU SAY IT, THEN IT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY LIKE 500 TIMES THE COST TO FORGET WHAT IT WAS. IT'S WAY MORE EXPENSIVE. HE'S LIKE YOU SHOULD JUST SAY WE WON'T TAKE THOSE PEOPLE TRY TO BRING HIM JUST WE DON'T WE DON'T TAKE THOSE BECAUSE IT'S LIKE ONE GRAND TO GET RID OF THIS ONE. I AM OH, AND HE'S WORKING TO PROVIDE ME THOSE LISTS OF WHAT HE RECOMMENDS. WE DON'T THINK INCLUDING, I GUESS ULTIMATELY THAT'S UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO. 
          EXCLUDE ANYTHING. OR IF YOU WANT TO TAKE EVERYTHING. OR IF YOU WOULD FOLLOW HIS RECOMMENDATIONS. $1000 I SUPPOSE , IS ONE THING I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A PROPANE TANK SAYING, UM SORRY. PLAYING TELEPHONE. IT LOOKS LIKE A PROPANE TANK HE GAVE I CAN LOOK UP WITH ITS ACTUALLY CLOSED . I MEAN TO ME IF HE HAS RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THERE ARE ITEMS THAT ARE JUST LIKE SO EXPENSIVE OR JUST UNREASONABLE MONEY. EXAMPLE, FOLLOWS. I'M LEERY DOING THE. I DON'T KNOW. JUST MAKES ME CRINGE. E THE WHOLE RIDE FROM FROM THE 43054. 
          UM BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THOSE PROBABLY JUST GO TO THE FIRST DUMPSTER THEY SEE AND LIKE I ALREADY PUT IN MY CAR. I'M NOT TAKING IT HOME. I'M GONNA THROW IT THROW 
          [01:05:04]
THE FLAG. I MEAN, I GUESS WE CAN MONITOR IT IF WE GET KILLED THAT THIS FIRST YEAR WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT. UM IF IT YOU KNOW, HAPPENS LIKE IT DID WITH THE WEST DRIVE, AND YOU JUST DID. SMOKE LIKE WE'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. I JUST DON'T WANT TO SET A PRESENTS. WHERE BEING EXCLUSIONARY AND OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO GET THESE THINGS NOT IN THE LANDFILL. AND I THINK IF WE TURN THEM AWAY, THAT'S EXACTLY KIND OF FACILITATED. THEM GOING TO A DUMPSTER SOMEWHERE. UM BUT I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE RISK OF IF IT ALWAYS OVERSHOOT. OUR INITIAL BUDGET. WE CAN MAKE IT WORK. SO THAT'S MY TWO SONS. CANDY SALE THREE. IT LOOKS LIKE FROM PROJECTED FOR 2023 WHERE THE WAY UNDER SO ISN'T THAT WALL OVER OKAY, SO I'M WELL. THAT IS. THE CHUNK FOR 20 GRAND, SO I WE'RE WAY UNDER BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T I DID NOT INCLUDE BLUE SOUTH. DO YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE THIS YEAR'S BUDGET TO THE END OF YOUR PACKET. ANY BOYS SELL ISN'T EXPECTED COST. UM. AND SO THINGS LIKE. DO WE NEED TO DO ANOTHER POSTCARD MAILER THIS YEAR THAT FREES UP THREE GRAND DOING IT, TOO. UM YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE JUST DIDN'T DO IN THE WAY THAT WE ANTICIPATED OR LIKE THE NATIVE LANDSCAPING. GRANTS THAT WE SET ASIDE TWO GRAND FOR BASED ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS ARE COMMITTEES THAT OUR BUDGET HAVE A BUDGET. IS THERE A DIFFERENT WAYS? OR IS IT SIMPLY LIKE THIS WHERE IT'S LIKE THIS KIND OF WORK? DO YOU HAVE LIKE METRICS THAT LIKE YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WERE THE FIRST TO HAVE. THIS IDEA ALSO HAS A BUDGET AND I HAVE NOT BEEN HANDS ON THAT SO I'M HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THAT MORE. UM BUT AGAIN, THIS WAS IDEAS AND ITS FIRST YEAR AND SO THEY'RE ALSO KIND OF IN THE SAME PLACE OF THEY HAVE THEIR PROGRAMS THAT THERE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING, AND THEY HAVE LIKE A ROUGH BUDGET FOR THAT, BUT IT IS KIND OF WITHIN THOSE THREE BUCKETS. WHAT'S THE RIGHT FLEXIBLE? YEAH. IS THERE ANYTHING? UM ON THE GENERAL LIST OF LIKE THE WORK PLAN THAT YOU'RE LIKE, ACTUALLY, I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT NEXT YEAR. OR YOU WOULD PUT LAST ON YOUR LIST OF PRICE FOR PEACE LIKE, SAY, LET'S DO THESE OTHER THINGS FIRST. AND IF WE HAVE TIME, WE'LL DO THAT. YOU KNOW, I THINK I'M CORRECT. COMMITTEES ARE GREAT, ONGOING PROGRAMS I THINK ARE RIGHT ON AS FAR AS NEW PROGRAMS. I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE SOME MOMENTUM ON COMPOSTING AND. AND MIGHT EVEN ADD TO THAT LIKE A RECYCLING. SUBCOMMITTEE WILL YOU KNOW IF WE MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION? SO I GUESS THE ONE THAT SEEMS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE A STRETCH OF THE THAT GOES FOR ALTERNATIVE FUEL LEVIES. NOT THAT IT'S NOT IMPORTANT, BUT MAYBE NOT. TO ME, SOMETHING IS HIGH PRIORITY RIGHT NOW. I GUESS THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE'S REALLY THERE'S NO DOLLARS THAT'S THIS EVENING RIGHT NOW. FREE. YOU KNOW WHAT THIS WAY HAVE TO EXECUTE RIGHT? ALLOCATING THE FUNDS TOWARD IT. AND SUSTAINABILITY WEB PAGES THAT INDEPENDENT OF THE CITY'S WEB PAGE. NO IT WOULD BE A PART OF THAT. WE JUST DON'T HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE LOCATION YET FOR ALL OF OUR PROJECTS. PROGRAMS. AND I KNOW WE'RE REALLY HAULING ARE WHAT PAGE NEXT YEAR SO IS THAT GOING TO BE YOU PART OF THAT, AND MAYBE, JUST LIKE IN THERE NOW. WE DON'T SPIT IN OUR BUDGET. THERE YOU GO. THE OTHER BUDGET UM. MAYBE A WAY OF RECAST THE COMPASS PROGRAM EXPANSION AS A DIVERSION. PROGRAM EXPANSION. JUST INCORPORATING WITH THAT UMBRELLA. WORK AS WELL BECAUSE THE OTHER DAY AND SLEPT AT ALL IS JUST STARTED GOING OUT OF COMPOST. PATH WHICH IS WHERE THE 
          [01:10:03]
NAME THAT SPECIFICALLY WHEN WE GOT TO THAT. IF YOU'RE APPROACHING ANOTHER FIVE GRAND IN THERE. LOCAL BUSINESSES. YOU WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT COMPOSTING AND RECYCLING AT THE SAME TIME, I AGREE. YEAH I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GOT JUST LOOKING AT THE 24 BUDGET $700 SHIRT EXPANSION. TO PILOT COMMERCIAL OR OUTREACH. I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT WAS REACHED, BUT I THINK IF WE CAN INCREASE THAT KIND OF WHAT I GUESS PETE AND CHARLES ARE SAYING IN TERMS OF DIVERSION. PUSHING BETWEEN. MISTAKE JUST CYCLING SUBCOMMITTEE AND, UH, WE HAD QUESTIONS COMMERCIALS. AND THEN ACTUALLY GOING TO PIZZA POINT CASES, POINT ABOUT THIS TV IS ONE THING I DIDN'T SEE ON IT FOR NEW PROGRAMS DID SEE ON THE END AND IT'S ON THE AGENDA. UM, IS THE WORKING WITH H O S ON SOLAR AGAIN? YOU KNOW THAT. THERE'S NOT A NEED FOR A BUDGET, BUT YEAH, IT'S KIND OF HIGH END RIGHT MY LIST OF PRIORITIES. WOULD BE INTERESTING AS POSSIBLE. OTHER SUBCOMMITTEES. LIKE SO YEAH. SUBCOMMITTEE'S MAN. WHAT? WHAT SUBCOMMITTEES. 
          YES IF YOU COULD HAVE AND I WOULD IMAGINE THERE'S SEVEN OF YOU NINE OF YOU TOTAL COULD BE THREE GROUPS OF THREE OR WHAT WOULD YOU JUST GO AND MAKE THIS LITTLE ONE? I KNOW THAT'S BEEN PUSHED OUT TO AIR B AND OTHERS. IS THERE A WAY TO DO A SUBCOMMITTEE CONNECTING THOSE? WHERE IS THAT TOO MESSY. POTENTIALLY. TAKE INTEREST FROM EVERYONE. ALL BOARDS SURE. YEAH. 
          WE CAN GAUGE INTEREST. I AGREE WITH THAT. AND. I KNEW WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS, YOU KNOW, BUDGET AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU GOT IT. YEAH WE GOT TO GET IT IN THERE. AND YOU KNOW, IF NOT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE FOLLOWING YEAR. THERE ARE OTHER REVENUE STREAMS SPECIFICALLY WITH THE NEW ALBANY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. THEY HAVE CRAIG'S REACHED OUT. THEY HAVE FUN HOLDERS THAT HAVE A HIGH INTEREST IN SUSTAINABILITY. SO LET'S SAY JANUARY 1 AND PROJECT COMES ALONG THAT WASN'T EVEN ON THE RADAR. OR, LIKE SAM, THE RESULTS IS SO GOOD TO BE SAFE. 
          WE REALLY NEED TO ROLL OUT DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, RESPECTING BINS TO ALL THESE AREAS IN THE PARK WAS BUILT IN THE FIELD HOUSE AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY. UM BUT FOR YOU KNOW, $35,000, WE CAN LAY IT OUT AND HAVE ALL THESE GREAT FACILITIES. THAT WOULD BE A PROJECT THAT WE COULD TAKE TO THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, AND WE PACKAGE IT AND SAY, HEY, DO YOU HAVE A FUN DONOR FOR THIS? YEAH, PRETTY SURE WOULD. BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS THAT THEY'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN. SO I DON'T WANT US TO THINK. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS ALL WE CAN DO. IF SOMETHING COMES ALONG. I'M PRETTY SURE AND IT'S A GOOD PROJECT AND WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT. I THINK WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT DONE. BUT TO THAT INNOVATION, ASK YEAH. NO THERE'S THINGS THAT WE WANT TO ASK FOR THEN. YEAH, WE SHOULD DEFINITELY INCLUDE IT. 
          SEE I DON'T THINK I'M KIND OF WHERE YOU'RE AT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NUMBERS SHOULD BE FOR THE EXPANDING OF A AGAIN COMPOST ON THE PAPER, BUT WASTE DIVERSION PROGRAM THAT INTO COMMERCIAL. I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET THE MONEY THAT WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING. BIGGER AND GET PEOPLE RECOGNIZED OR OFFER. SOME COORDINATION WHEN WE PICKED UP THE COST OF SOMETHING FOR SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES, ESPECIALLY UM SO THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE SO. WHAT FIVE GRAND NUMBER OUT OF MY BACKSIDE, BUT THAT'S NOT BASED UPON ANYTHING. ANYTHING. ANYONE DISAGREE? HAVE ANOTHER THOUGHT. OKAY, YOU YOUR BACKGROUND. THE MARTIAN DESSERT LIKE A THANK YOU. THANKS. I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE. AND IF IT'S COMFORTABLE FOR COMFORTABLE DOING LIKE A PERCENT OF THE 
          [01:15:07]
ONGOING COMPASS IS I'M NOT REALLY SURE ABOUT THAT. BUT I DON'T HAVE ONE. AND MAYBE IF THERE ARE OTHER THANK YOU AND AS A COMMERCIAL ONE RIGHT? NO WELL , NOT THE CURBSIDE RESIDENTIAL PICKUP. COULD WE REACH OUT TO. GO ZERO OR MANY OTHERS THAT MAYBE THEY COULD PROVIDE. 
          INFORMATION, WHETHER FROM THEIR OWN. RESEARCH OR THEIR SISTER. COMPETITOR ELSEWHERE. I DON'T KNOW. YEAH. ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT WHAT I DON'T LIKE TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM. IT WOULD COST THIS MUCH VERSUS JUST TO GET IT. I MEAN, BECAUSE WE'RE JUST THROWING NUMBERS OUT. YEAH SOUNDS GOOD. AND MAYBE MAYBE IT'S BETTER TO EARN SIDE OF CAUTION OF OVER ASKING. YEAH. SO I THINK, UM AND I JUST TOLD THIS AND MY APOLOGIES FOR THAT, UM THINKING TO NEXT YEAR, SPENDING THE BULK OF OUR TIME AND ENERGY , CREATING THIS FRAMEWORK AND CREATING DOING THE LEAD UP TO THE ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION, GETTING TAKING THE TIME TO DO FIND QUOTES AND ESTABLISHED WITH THE PROGRAM WITH LOOK LIKE AND THEN COME THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, WE COULD HAVE THE BUDGET TO ACTUALLY WE WOULD KNOW WHAT THOSE COSTS WOULD BE TO IMPLEMENT THEM. I'VE GOT A BIGGER NUMBER OF JUST THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A WAY TO DO PILOT OR TEST OR SOMETHING. MONEY CENTERS, EITHER WE CAN THINK ABOUT DOING THAT BECAUSE THIS ISN'T LIKE A PROGRAM LAUNCH. 
          YEAH, I LIKE THE IDEA THAT THE DIVERSION BLANKET, AND THEN HE'S NET FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          PURPOSE EVEN LIKE A SMALL PILOT FOR THAT, TOO. YOU'RE DOING A COMMERCIAL AUDIT WITH ONE OF THE BUSINESSES THAT HAS AGREED TO DO THAT. IS THERE ANYTHING? THAT YOU'RE LIKE. I. I THINK THAT THIS IS A LOW HANGING FRUIT. WE SHOULD BE REALLY DOING THIS NEXT YEAR, AND I DON'T SEE IT ON HERE, AND IT'S QUICK. IT'S EASY. WE SHOULD BE DOING IT KIND OF THING. I GUESS THE THING THAT THAT, UM. KIND OF HAD THIS QUESTION CAPITALIZED GOING DOWN THIS ROAD, WHICH IS MHM. THERE ARE PROGRAMS CURRENTLY BEING MANAGED THERE. PARKS AND REC THERE TRASH CANS AND LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE NEW PARTS, AND THERE WAS A TRASH CAN RECYCLING BED. 22 SETS TWO SETS OF THEM. UM BUT THERE ARE MISSING ANOTHER PART. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S ON A BUDGET ALREADY FOR THE PARKS AND REC, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD SAY ALL THIS? WHEN YOU USE THE EXAMPLE OF THE FOUNDATIONS LIKE I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT LIKE WHAT IS SITTING UP THERE. TO BE DONE OR PAID FOR VERSUS WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN BUDGETED. YEAH SO THAT THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COMES TO MIND. BUT MAYBE A FEW OTHER THINGS. YES SO THE OUR OUR BUDGETS FOR THE PROJECTS INCLUDE TRASH CANS. AND FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I REALIZED TRASHCANS ARE NOT IN PLACE ATLANTAN PARK CURRENTLY WE'RE GOING TO BE MILLING AND REPAVING ALL THOSE PATHS HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE. WE WANTED TO BRING IT OUT AFTER THAT, BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF A DESTRUCTIVE PROCESS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE KIND OF KEPT THOSE WE HAVE PROBABLY SEVEN OR EIGHT IN STOCK RIGHT NOW, AND THEY WILL BE THEY'LL BE IN PLACE BY THE END OF THE WEEK IN TERMS OF AT ANY OF THE PARTS THAT DON'T HAVE IT. UM THE CONVERSATION IS, I GUESS YOU HAVE TO BE HAD WITH REGARD TO BUYING MORE FOR PICKLEBALL. UM OR OR OTHER SPECIFIC AREAS OF USE. UM COCO BALL DOES SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE DAILY. UM SO I DEFINITELY SEE THE I THINK THERE IS SOME MERIT IN THAT. BUT I DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT THAT WOULD BE BECOME MORE OF AN OPERATING EXPENSE. RIGHT RIGHT. RIGHT. I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M ALSO JUST TRYING TO DO INITIATIVE. YEAH I MEAN, IF YOU WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, BASED ON, YOU KNOW, THE OUTCOME OF A COMMITTEE THAT MIGHT BE DEVELOPED TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THAT. AND OUTCOME OF THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE CONSIDERED AND BUDGETED AND THEN PRIORITIZED AN ADOPTED BY COUNCIL. UM BUT ANY OF OUR EXISTING FACILITIES UM WE DEFINITELY HAVE A LOT OF TUDE WITHIN OUR OPERATING BUDGETS FOR THOSE FACILITIES TO BE YOU KNOW, ADDING TRASH CANS AND DOING DOING THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO, UH ACCOUNT FOR ANY OF THAT SO. ONE 
          [01:20:09]
OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS MIGHT BE LOOKING TO, YOU KNOW, SPIKE OR GRANT OPPORTUNITY STUDENTS. HELP THEM FIND FUNDS. WHAT ELSE STANDS OUT IN THE BUDGET? ANYTHING? SO I'LL DEFINITELY BUMP UP. MAYBE YOU CREATE THAT, UM WASTE DIVERSION CATEGORY. AND INCLUDE MORE IN THAT BUDGET. SHE LIKE THIS COVERS, BUT YOU WANTED TO COVER IN 2024. THIS HAS TO BE SORRY THIS GETS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL. UM MAYBE NOT THIS GRANULAR. BUT IT WILL BE PART OF THE BUDGET THAT IS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL. AND DISCUSSED IN NOVEMBER'S THAT WHEN YOU FIRST MEETING NOVEMBER, GOT IT SO WE'D HAVE SOME IDEA AT LEAST FROM AN INITIAL RESPONSE TO THE INVASIVE TREE AND SHRUB TRADING PROGRAM BEFORE PUTTING THAT YEAH, I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY THING THEY LOOK AT THIS. THAT COULD BE POTENTIALLY SOMETHING WHERE MAYBE WE'LL PUT SOME MORE MONEY TOWARDS IT. IF IT'S A GOOD THING, BUT THE BOX BUT THE REST OF IT MAKES SENSE TO ME. I REALIZED I HAVE A BURNING BUSH. MY YARD'S NOT SURE QUALIFIED TO BE UP HERE ANYMORE. 
          WOW I KNOW I'M LIKE WHAT THE BASIC FRAUD IN IT WAS SUCH A GREAT PLAN. HMM. WHAT DID HE DO? ALL RIGHT, WELL, UM, AS ALWAYS, ANYTHING WE'VE DISCUSSED IF YOU HAVE FOLLOWED UP THOUGHTS, IDEAS , SUGGESTIONS YOU HAVE A NEW EMAIL. OTHER BUSINESS. ONE THING THAT CAME ACROSS, UM, IN A 
          [VII. Other Business]

UM ABBEY BROOKS WAS TALKING TO SHE HAD SHE HAD A MEETING AND THIS IDEA OF 1000 HOURS OUTSIDE CAME UP. HAVE YOU HEARD OF A FEW? ARE THIS THIS IDEA THAT UM PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, SPENDING AVERAGE OF 1000 HOURS A YEAR. WATCHING TV OR PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. UM, DOING THINGS INDOORS . AND SO THEY'RE COMBATING THIS WITH UM THIS. PUNCH THERE'S AN APP WHERE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT. 
          AND EVERY TIME YOU GO OUTSIDE, YOU HEAD START AND THEN WHEN YOU GO BACK INSIDE YOU, AND IT KEEPS TRACK A RUNNING TALLY OF HOW MANY HOURS YOU'VE SPENT OUTSIDE THAT YEAR.
