MOVING ON TONIGHT. ITEMS OF BUSINESS, UM, ALTERNATIVE TO STAND TO TAKE US THROUGH THE ITEMS OF BUSINESS. GREAT WELL. FIRST WE ARE HAPPY TO WELCOME YOU TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT THIS GRANT. UM WE'RE REALLY, REALLY HAPPY THAT WE HAVE YOU HERE? UM. I KNOW THAT THE BOARD AND STAFF WE'RE ALL REALLY EXCITED TO SEE KIND OF WHAT PROJECTS COME OUT OF THIS. UM AND SO WE'RE HAPPY TO YOU KNOW. HELP YOU BRAINSTORM. HELP GO THROUGH YOUR PROJECTS.JUST ANSWER ANY GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EITHER THE APPLICATION FORM OR ANY REQUIREMENTS OR REALLY ANYTHING FOR HAPPY TO HELP. THE ONE THING I'M GONNA ASK, YOU ASK YOU TO DO IS ACTUALLY I JUST GRABBED THE MICROPHONE. STAND UP. TO THE PAVEMENT. YES, YES. DO YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF? OKAY. YEAH, I'M NOEL GRIFFITH. UM I AM IN A GIRL SCOUT TROOP. I'VE BEEN IN GIRL SCOUTS SINCE KINDERGARTEN AND I AM A KID DEBT THIS YEAR AND IT GRADER AND I'M WORKING ON MY SILVER AWARD, AND WE'RE DOING SOMETHING ON ALONG THE LINES OF COMPOSTING, UM, IN NEW ALBANY. AND SO WE'RE HOPING TO, UM, YET COMPOSTING AT LUNCH IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. UM THE NO. THE PRIMARY BUILDING? YEAH AND THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO TRIED TO SET UP A BOOTH AT THE, UM PICKLEBALL COURTS AT BEVEL HEIMER BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT BY COMPOSTING DROP OFF. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GIVE PEOPLE BUCKETS THERE. AND SO THAT MIGHT BE PART OF OUR GRANT PROCESS. CHIP QUESTIONS. NOT YET. NOT REALLY. THAT'S AWESOME. BACK, UM AND HE'S GOT TO REPORT . I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL. WE'RE IN THE COMPOSTING. SOUNDS LIKE A VERY BIRTHDAY PROJECT.
ACTUALLY, IT'S GOT AN EMAIL FROM THE ONE OF THE CAFETERIA WORKERS IN THE PRIMARY. GLORIA HER NAME IS SO SHE WAS SHE SAW THE VIDEO THEY MADE ABOUT OUR COMPOST AT THE INTERMEDIATE, AND HER QUESTION WAS, UM I GUESS THEY'VE BEEN COLLECTING FOOD SCRAPS IN THE CAFETERIA ALREADY, AND THEY'VE BEEN TAKING IT TO ONE OF THE DROP OFF LOCATIONS. TO COMPOST AND SHE WANTED TO KNOW THEY COULD USE THE INTERMEDIATES COMPOST BINS. YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO TO THE DROP OFF , AND WE HAVE HAD EXTRA BIT SPACE IN HARBIN, SO I TOLD HER, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF SHE COULD DO THAT IN THE SHORT TERM, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF THEY COULD GET IT GOING AT THE PRIMARY. UM AND WE MET ONE TIME TALKING ABOUT COMPOSTING HIS MOTHER STEP, BUT YEAH, IF YOU GUYS MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT YOU KNOW, I'D BE HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU AND OR EVEN MEET WITH ADMINISTRATION. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU TALK. YOU TALK TO MR SMITH ALREADY. NOT YET, OKAY? UM OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S YOU KNOW, IT TOOK US A WHILE TO KIND OF GET ORGANIZED ON THE IDEA AND GET THE BIG THING IS PAYING FOR IT. UM AND THE INTERMEDIATE IS NICE
[00:05:05]
BECAUSE THE KIDS ARE OLD ENOUGH THAT THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, BE THE MONITORS THAT SORT OF THING. SO AT THE PRIMARY, I MEAN, I GUESS THEORETICALLY COULD TRAIN MAYBE THE THIRD GRADERS TO DO THAT TO HELP OUT THE MUNCHES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO, UM, YEAH, ANYWAY, SO I THINK IT'S EXCITING. LOVE TO MEET WITH YOU AND ADMINISTRATION. OKAY YEAH. SO, UH, YOU GOT MY EMAIL. YOU JUST WANT TO SET UP A TIME. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS DECIDE. YOU KNOW, IT'S YOUR MAIN THRUST OF YOUR PROJECT. UM, WE CAN TALK THROUGH THE FINANCES AND THE YOU KNOW THE STEPS INVOLVED AGAINST ON IT. FREE IT HAD TO BE LOVE YOU STATEMENT WITH THAT WOULD BE PREFERABLE. I SAW THAT THE DEADLINE FOR THE PROJECT TO BE DONE WOULD BE THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, AND I KNOW THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERING DOING THE PICKLE BALL COURT AND THE, UM I THINK YOU ALSO WERE THINKING ABOUT SETTING UP AT A FARMER'S MARKET. UM WHICH MIGHT GO PAST THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.WOULD THAT BE A DEAL BREAKER? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. ANNA WITH AS FAR AS THE TIMING AND SOME MELODY ANSWERING THAT YOU KNOW, I THINK MY INITIAL REACTION IS THAT THIS PROJECT COULD BE LIKE A MUCH BIGGER AND MUCH MORE CONTINUOUS PROJECT, RIGHT? WHETHER PART OF THE FUNDING OR MAYBE PART OF THESE TASKS COME FROM THIS GRANT FUNDING. THERE ARE ALSO SOME REALLY UNIQUE, UM FOOD WASTE DIVERSION GRANTS, AND THAT'S HOW PETE AND THE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL THEY WERE ABLE TO FUND THE HERON. AND SO. I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO MAYBE HELP CONNECT YOU TO THESE RESOURCES AND MAYBE HELP IN ORDER TO MAKE IT A MUCH MORE LIKE SUSTAINING LONG TERM PROJECT, WHICH IS, I THINK WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WOULD WANT TO GUESS REQUIRES THAT WE HAVE TO, LIKE, FINISH OUR WORK, BUT THEN IT HAS TO BE LIKE ON GOING THROUGH SOME ELSE, SOMEONE ELSE OR ANOTHER, UM PERSON, SO I'M I'M WONDERING. MY INITIAL REACTION IS JUST THINK OF MAYBE SOME OF THESE UM. MORE LIKE EDUCATIONAL OR PROMOTIONAL THINGS LIKE PASSING UP BUCKETS AND REALLY, UM, ENGAGING OTHER RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY. IN THAT WAY THAT COULD BE LIKE 11 CHUNK OF IT. BUT THEN IF WE'RE OR WE COULD EVEN AIM FOR LIKE A PHASED APPROACH. WHERE WE COULD START SOMETHING AT THE PRIMARY SCHOOL EARLIER AND HAVE THAT COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. MAYBE LIKE A, UH, A TEST OR. LIKE A SMALLER SCALE AND THEN SEE IF WE CAN HELP FIND THESE GRANTS THAT COULD HELP THE PROGRAM LONG TERM. UM YEAH. I'M CURIOUS WHY YOU CHOSE THE PRIMARY SCHOOL INSTEAD OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. UM I THINK I THINK WE WANTED TO TEACH THE YOUNGER KIDS SO THAT BECAUSE WE CAN'T UM AFTER. LIKE THIS. WE WOULD HAVE OUR GOLD AWARD. WE COULD DO SOMETHING ALONG THESE LINES. BUT WE MIGHT NOT. AND SO IF WE TEACH THE YOUNGER KIDS THAN THEY MIGHT GROW UP AND FEEL LIKE, OH, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL DOESN'T HAVE SOMETHING WE SHOULD START. UM A MIDDLE SCHOOL COMPOSTING SERVICE BECAUSE THEY GO THROUGH. LIKE SIX YEARS OF COMPOSTING, AND THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, WHY DOESN'T THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. THAT'S FUNNY. THANK YOU.
NO, THANK YOU. I DON'T KNOW. AND SO I MEAN, I HAVE A CARD. I'LL GIVE YOU A CARD AND ACTUALLY DID YOU, PETE? YOU CONNECTED? DID YOU CONNECT US BY EMAIL? UM SO, UM, CALL FOREMAN. I GUESS YOU GUYS ARE ON THE EMAIL. UH WHAT WAS EMAILING AND I THINK THESE GUYS ARE ON THERE AS WELL. BUT I CAN I HAVE YOUR INFORMATION SO I CAN AFFORD IT TO HANNITY. OR IF YOU WANNA GET A CARD IN TERMS, EVEN GREAT BECAUSE THEN WE CAN I THINK MAYBE MORE. OR STRATEGIZED WHAT TO INCLUDE IN THE APPLICATIONS GREAT AND THEN THAT WE'RE DOING THE SAME THING. SILVER AWARD RIGHT NOW IS FIGURING OUT WHAT TO INCLUDE. SO MAYBE WE DO THE PHASE ONE AS THE ELEMENT OR THE PRIMARY SCHOOL DAYS TO COMMUNITY. UH UM, OUTREACH OR EDUCATION? WHAT ALL IS INVOLVED IN THE SILVER. LIKE WHAT IS THAT APPLICATION LIKE, SO THE APPLICATION? WE HAVE TO SUBMIT, UM TO LIKE THE GIRL
[00:10:05]
SCOUTS BOARD AND IT HAS TO, LIKE , HAVE AN OUTLINE OF OUR ROOT CAUSE, WHICH IS KIND OF THE HARDEST PART, WHICH IT'S LIKE. HARD TO JUST WRAP MY MIND AROUND , BUT, UM THEN WE HAVE TO HAVE LIKE WHAT WE'RE GONNA NEED AND SUPPLIES SO LIKE HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE GOING TO USE, AND THEN UM YEAH. HOW WE'RE GONNA KEEP IT GOING AFTERWARD BECAUSE IT CAN'T JUST BE LIKE 50 SERVICE HOURS.WE CAN USE 15 OF THEM AS SERVICE HOURS BUT THE REST OF THEM. THE REST OF THE HOURS CANNOT BE, UM, COMMUNITY SERVICE. NOT TRUE, AND IT HAS TO BE 50 HOURS FOR EACH GIRL. SO I'M WORKING WITH NOEL FOREMAN, UM, ONE OF THE OTHER GIRLS IN MY GIRLS CATCH YOU. AND, UM SO WE'LL EACH HAVE TO DO 50 HOURS AND THEN IT HAS TO, LIKE, GO ON AFTER US. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE CRITERIA. THAT'S AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING. HERE'S MY CARD. MHM. AND YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY FOR AS LONG AS YOU'D LIKE, OR YOU CAN ALSO HANG OUT. I WOULD REQUEST ON THE WAY OUT IF YOU JUST SIGN THE SIGN IN THAT WAY, WE HAVE YOUR NAME. THANK YOU. GREAT THANKS. UM WE'RE TAKING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS DURING THE SESSION ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY PILOT GRANT SO IS THAT WHAT YOUR HAIR ARE FOR? GREAT SO YOU COULD START TO THE MIC AND JUST GIVE US YOUR NAME. PLEASE ASK ME A QUESTION. OUR STAFF IS TAKING. AND ACTUALLY, I CAME HERE TO GET MORE INFORMATION. ABOUT THE THIS PROGRAM. IT'S MY SON. IT JUST GETS THE RIGHT DRIVEWAY OR YES, BECAUSE I'M EXCITED, SO HE CONVERTED HIS DAD'S BIKE TO E BIKE. SO HE WAS WONDERING WHETHER WE CAN GET MORE E BIKES.
AH THAT THE KIDS CAN USE. BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT DATA MUCH THE STAIR LIKE IT'S IN THE PROCESS OF THINKING. UM, THAT'S. THAT'S REALLY COOL. YEAH. THAT'S AWESOME. DID HE JUST DECIDED HE WANTED TO MAKE IT AN E BIKE AND YOU JUST DID IT ALL HIMSELF? SO YEAH, THAT'S REALLY COOL. UM SO THIS THIS SLIDE HERE SHOWS THE WEBSITE AND THE APPLICATION AND THEN I HAVE THIS FORM AND I ALSO HAVE ONE COPY SHOULD HAVE PRINTED A COUPLE. IT'S OUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
JUST, UM TO KIND OF GO OVER THE APPLICATION PROCESS. I HAVEN'T. OH, DO YOU WOW. HERE WE GO.
OKAY. THANK YOU. AND SOCIAL MEDIA. YEAH, AND THEN. THAT'S AWESOME. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE GOAL WAS. UM, SO OUR WEBSITE SHOWS. THE DEADLINE IS THE END OF THE MONTH FOR YOUR IDEAS. UM AND THERE IS AN ONLINE APPLICATION. UM. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HERE WITH MORE BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON WHY WE'RE DOING THIS AND WHAT THE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM ARE. UM REALLY WERE HOPING TO YOU KNOW, TARGET SOME OF THE BOARD'S, UM, PRIORITIES IN SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, AND ONE OF THEM IS, YOU KNOW, REDUCING WASTE PROTECTING THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. AND OTHER FORMS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY. AND WE ALSO WANT TO INCLUDE AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMPONENT.
SO, UM. YOU KNOW, INFORMING COMMUNITY ABOUT THE PROJECT, AND WHY'D IT'S UM BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABILITY? UM AND THEN, UM . THERE'S ALSO THE EVALUATION CRITERIA UP HERE AND SO THE BOARD THEN IN THE NEXT MEETING NEXT MONTH, WILL REVIEW THE APPLICATIONS THAT WERE RECEIVED. UM AND REALLY, IT CAN BE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS, AND SO YOU KNOW, E BIKES. IS HE LOOKING TO UM, PROVIDE MORE E BIKES FOR THE COMMUNITY OR FOR OTHER STUDENTS? YEAH HIGH SCHOOL LEFT. YEAH. CARLA. I DON'T KNOW. WHAT'S DIFFERENT, HMM? SO YOU HAVE A BITE. YEAH. UM. MAYBE ALL RENTALS. OKAY WELL, I'M HAPPY TO WRITE. I CAN GIVE YOU A CARD AS
[00:15:11]
WELL. AND, UH, HE HAS A MORE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BOARD HAS ANY IDEAS OF HOW HOW IT IF YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THAT KIND OF THING, OR HOW IT COULD BE INCORPORATED. WE'RE LUCKY WE HAVE TWO TEACHERS SITTING ON OUR BOARD SO THEY MIGHT HAVE SOME IDEAS OF HOW IT COULD BE INCORPORATED WITH THE SCHOOL. UM WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE. FIGHTING KIND OF BEEN A LOSS. I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, I THINK IT WOULD BE TAKING COLD. I'M NOT QUITE SURE THAT'S AN INTERESTING IDEA . I MEAN, THEY HAVE THE YOU KNOW, SHARE BIKES OFF OF, UH, WAS IT WALTON PARKWAY? UM I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH USE THOSE GET. BUT IT I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS. LIKE IF YOU TAKE A SHARE BIKE DO YOU HAVE TO RETURN IT TO THAT SAME LOCATION? I GUESS. YEAH, SO IF THE STUDENT JUST TRYING TO THINK YOU KNOW, LIKE THEY COULDN'T TAKE IT HOME. I DON'T THINK RIGHT. THEY HAVE TO. WOULD IT JUST BE A TO BE GOING TO MARKET STREET AND BRING YOU BACK? THAT SORT OF THING WAS TRYING TO THINK THROUGH WHAT YOU KNOW, WHERE WOULD YOU GO WITH THAT WILL BE HERE. WE'VE LEARNED RECENTLY THAT THERE THAT STUDENTS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING TO SHEETS THESE DAYS, TROY AND I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE DESTINATION. BECAUSE IF YOU CHECK IT OUT, THEN IT HAS YOUR CREDIT CARD.YEAH BUT, YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S A FREE PROGRAM, BUT WE STILL NEED YOUR CREDIT CARD. IN CASE YOU CAN'T WALK OFF THE BIKE. THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO EXPAND THAT TO OTHER LOCATIONS MIGHT NOT WORK.
UM LOCATIONS IN THE VILLAGE CENTERS OF MEDIA THAT NO IDEA. AN OPTION. YEAH I THINK YOU KNOW SOMETHING WHERE THE MORE CENTRAL TO WHERE KIDS AND YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE I THINK WOULD BE GREAT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WOULD NEED TO BE E BIKE OR NOT, BUT I DO THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
YEAH. THOSE ARE NOT EAT BIKES. THOSE ARE JUST RIGHT LATELY. BICYCLES, RIGHT? UM YEAH, THAT MAY BE A GOOD LIKE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER LOCATION, THEN. YOU COULD RETURN IT TO ANOTHER DROP OFF. AND WHAT HAPPENED? TURN IT BACK TO WALTON PARKWAY. HERE YOU CAN THINK ABOUT LIKE TAYLOR FARM AND MARKET STREET OR SOMEWHERE LIKE THAT REALLY HAVE TO GO BACK AND FORTH. GOOD IDEA JUST LIKE INTO A DEVICE THAT BY I DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT EXACTLY. HE REALLY TEACH OTHER KIDS HAD TO DO THAT.
MM HMM. MM HMM. BEST WEDDING. HMM. HE WENT ON THE PATH AND THEN HE HAD. HAVING TO 13 BACK FEET. THAT'S COOL HEADLIGHTS, THEN FRANKLIN IT'S REALLY COOL. THAT WOULD BE WORK. MAYBE WIDESPREAD. BECAUSE KIDS WOULD MAKE THEIR OWN BIKES INTO YOU MIGHT GET THEIR CAR. HE MIGHT. I THINK THAT'S SECTARIANISM. THANK YOU. YEAH. IS IT LIKE ONE PROJECT THAT. UM, IT DEPENDS ON UM I GUESS THE BUDGET REQUESTED SO WE CAN FUND A BUNCH OF REALLY SMALL PROJECTS. OR WE CAN FIND ONE BIG PROJECT AND A COUPLE OF SMALL PROJECTS IT JUST UM, WILL DEPEND ON WHAT SORT OF APPLICATIONS WE GET. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. ON THE TWO OUR NEXT BUSINESS INVASIVE SPECIES TRADING PROGRAM UPDATE. I HOPE THAT'S ON THE. YES SO AGAIN, YOU ARE WELCOME TO STAY AND KIND OF LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE ALSO WILL BE INSULTED IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE AND GO HOME AND WELL, ENJOY YOUR MATCH. HMM I WON'T BE INSULTED. UM SO AN UPDATE ON OUR INVASIVE SPECIES TRADING PROGRAM. UM, WE HAVE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES. UM AND AT THIS POINT, IT JUST. WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM FROM LOCAL
[00:20:10]
BUSINESSES. UM AND SO WE HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH FRANKLIN SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT . THAT WAS ONE OF CHARLES'S IDEAS TO WORK WITH THEM. TO BE ABLE TO CREATE THE VOUCHERS WITH THE PLANT SALE, AND THAT SEEMS TO THAT SEEMS TO SPARK SOME INTEREST ON THEIR END. UM AND SO WE HAD A MEETING SCHEDULED TOMORROW FOR ROLES. WE'LL TALK THROUGH HOW THAT MIGHT WORK IN THE LOGISTICS. UM THIRD PLANT SALE IS EVERY APRIL, UM AND SO THEY YOU ORDER THEM, AND THEN YOU CAN GO PICK THEM UP. UM THEY ALSO DO A NATIVE PLANT LIKE STARTER KIT. THOSE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EXPENSIVE. UM AND THOSE SHIP OUT IN JUNE, SO I'LL BE CURIOUS TO SEE THEM.HEALTHY HOW THEY MIGHT LIKE TO SEE THAT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE MHM. THAT WOULD LIKELY BE LIKE WE COULD LAUNCH THE PROGRAM OF WHETHER IT BE THIS. FALL IF WE HAVE TIME, AND THAT MAKES SENSE , IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO KIND OF HOLD THAT OFF UNTIL EARLY SPRING. MHM. WE JUST NEED TO TIME IT, SO THAT WAY PEOPLE CAN REMOVE THE INVASIVE SPECIES. AND THEN, UM. ON THE BACK END. WE'LL HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH THE SOIL MURDER CONSERVATION DISTRICT TWO UM, FOR EVERY VOUCHER WILL PASS OUT. WE'LL PAY THEM DIRECTLY, BUT THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK WITH US IN WAYS THAT BUSINESSES COULDN'T JUST AS A ORGANIZATIONAL GOVERNMENT PARTNER. UM, BECAUSE THEY.
SOMEONE ELSE. BUT REMEMBER THIS SEEM TO THINK EVEN FOR YOUR ORDER IN IN DECEMBER. SO THAT PLANT CELL THEY DO A PRE. YEAH I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ONLINE YET . I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE'S PURCHASED SOMETHING FUNNY. YEAH. EVERY EVERY YEAR. IT REALLY IS GOING TO STORE. I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S THE CHALLENGE WITH USING THAT SYSTEM IS GREAT. IT'S LIKE YOU GET THOSE THINGS IN APRIL AND MAYBE NOT. MAYBE. PERSONALLY, I PROBABLY. DON'T USE 80% OF WHAT I BUY. IT IS BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO GET INTO THE SOIL. INEVITABLY PREMIER FROST IS DIFFICULT AT THAT TIME, BUT SOMEONE ELSE PROBABLY HAS A BETTER WAY OF GETTING OUT OF ME. SO LOCAL NURSERIES MARK INTERESTED IN PLAYING. MHM SANDBOX. WE WE HAD A SPARK FROM, UM UH, NURSERY THAT WAS IN DELAWARE ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY, AND WE JUST FIGURED PEOPLE AREN'T GONNA WANT TO DRIVE AN HOUR FOR $40 PLANT. UM OAKLAND WAS. AND IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE I THINK IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'VE HAD SOME BAD EXPERIENCES WITH VOUCHER TYPE PROGRAMS IN THE PAST. UM AND SO THEY WEREN'T VERY EXCITED. HMM.
THEY ALSO HAD A LOT OF LIKE STIPULATIONS. I THINK FOR US TO WORK WITH THEM, THEY DID NOT WANT LIKE THE BARBERRY. THEY IMMEDIATELY THEY TOOK ISSUE WITH NOT REMOVING BARBERRY AND BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE VERY SUSPICIOUS LIST. THE OFFICIAL ONE SO I THINK. BEING AS THEY SELL SOME OF THE PROBLEMATIC FRANCE WEREN'T VERY KEEN. I THINK I'M PARTICIPATING. HMM. I THINK THIS PARTNERSHIP SEAT WITH FRANKLIN COUNTY SOIL AND WATER FEELS LIKE A MORE NATURAL PARTNERSHIP FOR US, AND MAYBE I MEAN THIS MEETING TOMORROW. I THINK WHETHER IT'S TO THE CONTEXT OF THEIR PLANT SALE THAT THEY DO, OR MAYBE WE CAN. USE SOME OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS THEY HAVE. MAYBE WE COULD DO SOMETHING LATER IN THE SPRING, RIGHT? BUT USING THE FRAMEWORK OF WHAT THEY ALREADY DO, I THINK IT SEEMS LIKE A MORE NATURAL FIT FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO WORK WITH A GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY LIKE THAT. IT'S GREAT TO COME ON IT. I THINK, THOUGH, IT'S GOOD. IT'S GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. NOW IT SEEMS LIKE WE CAN KIND OF FIGURE OUT SOME OF THESE DETAILS. SO THEIR SALE IS THAT IF THEIR FACILITY AND GRAMMY THE FRANKLIN SOIL PREORDER, AND THEN YOU PICK IT UP, YEAH. JUST WONDERING IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE. IF WE LET'S SAY WE THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE 30. PEOPLE PARTICIPATE OR SOMETHING. COULD WE GET PLANTS AND BRING THEM TO NEW ALBANY JUST TO SAVE PEOPLE, AND I THINK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POSSIBILITY. UM AND A NOTE THAT I'M HAPPY TO BRING TO THE MEETING TOMORROW. YEAH, LOGISTICALLY THAT WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE. YEAH. THEN I THINK THAT'S LIKE PICK UP ON A CERTAIN DAY. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN KEEP A BUNCH OF PLANTS ALIVE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. BUT IF WE COULD DO IT ON TODAY'S
[00:25:03]
YOUR PICKUP DAY OR THIS WEEKEND'S THE PICKUP WEEKEND. I THINK THAT WOULD BE ACHIEVABLE FOR US AND PROBABLY MORE CONVENIENT FOR RESIDENTS THINK THEY DO IT THREE OR FOUR DAYS.PICK UP PERIOD. OKAY? IT'S POSSIBLE. I MEAN, IF THOSE PLANTS IF THEIR PLANT SALE ALIGNS, BUT IF THEY ARBOR DAY WEEK LIKE ONE EVENING THAT WEEK. YOU CAN JUST WE CAN ADVERTISE PLANT PICK UP UM YEAH. SO MOVING AND I MEAN, I THINK IT'S GREAT SHAPE AS WE THINK THROUGH SOME OF THESE LOGISTICS OF IT. THE FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF IT, I THINK WAS MOVING IN A GOOD DIRECTION.
SO JUST THE SAME SLIDE. I SHOWED YOU LAST MONTH REMINDERS FOR THESE UPCOMING RECYCLING AND COMPOSTING EVENTS NEXT SATURDAY . UM SO A WEEK AND A HALF FROM TODAY IS OUR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION. UM. I AM LOOKING FOR ORDER. AT LEAST ONE, MAYBE TWO. UM HAVE YOU FOR A 7 30 TO 10 SHIFT AND THEN ATTEMPT TO 12 30 SHIFT. UM SO I WILL SEND THAT EMAIL OUT TOMORROW.
I'M SO KEEP AN EYE OUT. AGAIN THE COMPANY THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH THEIR, UM. ENVIRONMENTAL ENTERPRISES. THEY ARE SWEET GOES PARTNER FOR ALL OF THESE EVENTS, SO YOU MIGHT SEE AN ADVERTISEMENT. UM LIKE IF YOU GOT THE MAILER, BUT CHARLES BROUGHT UM WESTERVILLE IS HOSTING THEIR SWEET, GO SPONSORED EVENT THIS WEE THEN FE FOLLOWING WEEKEND. I DON'T KNOW.
AND WE DO HAVE THIS WEBSITE THAT SHOWS EVERYTHING THAT WE ACCEPT , AND THEN SOME THINGS THAT WE DO NOT ACCEPT AS WELL. AND IF YOU REMEMBER MY BRAIN STUMPED FROM LAST MONTH WHEN I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE TAKE THAT LOOKED LIKE A PROPANE TANKS. IT IS CALLED A FROST PACK, WHICH IS LIKE APPARENTLY INSULATION SPRAY CANISTER TYPE, AND SO THAT'S GOOD. MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TO RECYCLE, UM COMPARED TO A STANDARD PROPANE TANK. UM HOW IS THIS GOING TO WORK OUT LOGISTICALLY AT THE DROP OFF? MHM I PROBABLY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS TWO THINGS ARE SO LIST ENVIRONMENTAL ENTERPRISES. ENVIRONMENTAL ENTERPRISES BACK. YOU KNOW YOU ARE THEY ARE THE SHOW RUNNERS SO THEY ARE BRINGING A SEMI TRUCK IN AND THEY'RE LIKE STATIONING OUT, AND THEY HAVE A TEAM OF I THINK 10 OR MORE PEOPLE THAT THEY BRING WITH THEM. OKAY, SO I'LL BE LIKE DIRECTING TRAFFIC. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. YEAH I CAN I CAN DO. I CAN DO THAT. IT'S MAINLY JUST TELLING PEOPLE WHERE TO GO. AND, UM AND. THANKING THEM FOR COMING, OKAY? UM. A LOT OF OLD PAINT FEELING. YEP POPULAR. THIS COULD BE AMAZING PEOPLE POSTING ABOUT ALREADY, SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FLYER TO HAND OUT LIKE ABOUT THE PUMPKINS AND GOOD. ANY OTHER UPCOMING? THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. I'M HAPPY TO, UM CREATE THAT. SO THAT'S A GOOD FLYER HANDER OUT TOO. YEAH BECAUSE I MEAN, RIGHT, RIGHT AFTER THIS IN A FEW WEEKS, WE HAVE THE PUMPKIN COLLECTION STARTING NOVEMBER, 1ST. UM AND SO IT WILL BE THAT SAME SPOT, SO AS PEOPLE DRIVE PAST IT, YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT HERE. YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. YEAH, JUST CALL ME THAT'S WHY. THAT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA. FIRST SEAT ON THAT. SUSTAINABILITY I KNOW WE DO HAVE A STUDENT SPOT FOR A HIGH SCHOOLER. SO MM HMM. AND THEN WE'LL START THE POLITICAL YARD SIGN. SEEN A LOT OF THOSE POPPING UP. UM AND SO WE WILL BE PROMOTING THAT YEAR SOON. THAT WILL RUN LIKE A WEEK AND A HALF AFTER ELECTION TUESDAY. AND THEN AGAIN, THE HOLIDAY LIGHTS WILL START THAT NOVEMBER. 20TH RUNS THROUGH. I THINK WE IT WAS REQUESTED. WE RUN IT JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER IN JANUARY, SO IT WILL BE DOING THAT AS WELL. AND THERE'S A DROP OFF LOCATION HERE AND THEN PLAIN TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE EVENTS. SO IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU HAVE THE UPDATED
[00:30:10]
VERSION OF. WORK PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR. THE DRAFT WORK PLAN UM AND THE DRAFT BUDGET AND REALLY MOST OF THE STAYED THE SAME FROM LAST MONTH. THE. REALLY IT'S JUST LIKE A VERBAL LANGUAGE CHANGE OF LOOPING AND RECYCLING TO THE COMPOST. UM. PROGRAM EXPANSION AND THE SURVEY AND LOOKING AT IT MORE AS A COMPREHENSIVE WASTE DIVERSION PROGRAM. UM AND CONSIDERING UM. MAKE THEM MORE EDUCATION OR ASSESSMENT OF THE RECYCLING PROGRAM. AS PART OF THAT UM AND SO THEN YOU ALSO HAVE. UM THE SHEEP HAS THE DIAGRAM OF KIND OF THE PROPOSED SCHEDULE AND SLEEP FOR NEXT YEAR. UM IT'S GOING TO BE A FULL YEAR LIKE LOOKING AT IT. THERE'S A LOT TO DO, WHICH IS EXCITING.UM, I TRIED TO HIGHLIGHT I MEAN, THE STARS ARE MAIN EVENTS, BUT THEN YOU HAVE THINGS LIKE THE CONFERENCE PROGRAM EXPANSION. MM HMM. POTENTIALLY DOING RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL, YOU KNOW, CERTIFICATION PROGRAM OR AWARD TYPE. PURCHASE A PATIENT APPROPRIATE AND SO KIND OF BALANCING THOSE ON THE CALENDAR. I'VE TRIED TO KIND OF DISTRIBUTED HALF AND HALF. UM WHERE THINGS FALL ON THE CALENDAR, EXCEPT FOR THE EVENTS LIKE I'M OPEN TO DIFFERENT CONSIDERATIONS. UM. IT'S YOU KNOW, BE A LOT OF DISCUSSION BASED, UM, PLANNING FOR THOSE NEW PROGRAMS AND THEN A LOT OF THE EVENT BASED THINGS FOR THE FOR THE CORE ACTIVITIES AND ONGOING PROGRAMS. BECAUSE AS I LOOKED AT THIS, IT FEELS LIKE THIS SUBCOMMITTEE CONVERSATION WHICH WILL HAVE THEIR MOMENTARILY MAYBE THAT'LL HELP FORM AND I'M HAPPY WE CAN START THAT NOW, UM AND JUST KIND OF I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC CONTENT FOR THAT. WE WOULD LOVE TO JUST KIND OF GET A SENSE OF, BUT YOU MIGHT ENVISION THE SUBCOMMITTEE LOOKING LIKE AND WHAT YOU WOULD HOPE TO GET OUT OF IT. UM YEAH, I GUESS WE'LL START THERE. AND JUST LAST MONTH AS WELL, SO I'M WE HAD. I THINK IT WAS TWO MONTHS PRIOR WITH TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT. YOU KNOW, SOME SOME BOARD MEMBERS HAD FOCUSES ON MORE SPECIFIC ITEMS COMPOSTING, FOR INSTANCE, AND HAD OFFERED AND SAID THAT AS PART OF THE RECAP FROM FROM THIS LAST YEAR. IT FELT LIKE YOU KNOW. MORE TIME AND ENERGY COULD BE TAKEN OUTSIDE OF JUST THIS ONCE A MONTH MEETING TO GO AND FOCUS ON SOME OF THESE THINGS, UM, SO WE PUT THAT ON THIS. FROM WHAT STANDPOINT? HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AS TO WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT KIND OF DEMANDS WOULD BE PUT ON STAFF? HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD BE INVOLVED WITH IT? SO IT JUST KIND OF GETTING GROUND WALLS PUT TOGETHER. IT'S REALLY NOT SOMETHING THAT IT WAS SAID THAT THERE ARE OTHER COMMITTEES WITHIN THE CITY THAT DO BREAK OFF AND DO THAT, UM SO WE'LL DISTRACT THE OTHER CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. I WANT TO SAY THAT WE SAID WE COULD BE 33 BOARD NUMBERS, REMEMBERS MEETING AT A TIME AND I THINK WE HAVE, UM, DIFFERENT TOOLS WE CAN USE AS A CITY. AND KNOWING WHAT YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, FOCUS, OR MAYBE GOALS FOR A SUBCOMMITTEE MIGHT HELP US. UM TUNE IN TO WHAT THE BEST TOOL IS SO LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WE DO FOCUS GROUP MEETINGS ON YOU KNOW DIFFERENT TOPICS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. UM SOME OF OUR SPECIAL EVENTS WE'VE DONE THIS YEAR FOR THE IDEA COMMITTEE INCLUDED FOCUS GROUPS. SO JUNETEENTH HAD OF FOCUS GROUP. WE'RE PLANNING A DIWALI CELEBRATION. IT HAS A FOCUS GROUP. BUT THOSE ARE, UM LIKE FOCUSED AND THE YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T READ MEET REGULARLY, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALL RESIDENTS. THEY HELPED FORM THOSE EVENTS. MAKE SURE LIKE WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. HELP WITH THE PROMOTION HELPED WITH ACTUALLY VOLUNTEERING AT THE EVENT, SO THAT'S LIKE ONE WAY TO DO IT. IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S KIND OF ONGOING IN NATION NATURE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE REGULAR MEETINGS SCHEDULED. YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THAT'S A DIFFERENT ANIMAL. UM AND SO TALKING THROUGH SOME OF THOSE DETAILS OR WHAT? YOUR GOALS ARE YOU WANT RESIDENT INPUT OUTSIDE OF THIS FORWARD THAT MAY LATEST IN THE
[00:35:03]
DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAN IF IT'S JUST THREE MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD FOCUSING IN ON ONE OF THESE ASPECTS OF YOUR WORK PROGRAM TO ADVANCE THAT NEXT YEAR. SO I MEAN, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF POSSIBILITIES IF WE LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS WANT TO ACHIEVE, WE CAN KIND OF FINE TUNE IT INTO THE RIGHT FORMAT. GONNA BE LOOK AT BOTH. AND I MEAN, I'M THINKING, UM HYPOTHETICALLY. IF THERE'S A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT'S JUST FOCUSED ON EXPANDING THE COMPOSTING PROGRAM. I WOULD THINK THAT WHOEVER THE THREE PEOPLE ARE IN THIS COMMUNITY WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER FOR A CONVERSATION. SORT OF FLESH OUT. OKAY? WHAT DO WE AGREE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE? SAY OKAY. WELL, DO WE NEED TO TALK TO RESIDENTS MORE DO WE NEED REALLY TO HAVE TWO BUSINESSES? I MEAN, WHAT IS SORT OF THE ENERGY OR YOU KNOW THAT OUR GROUP IS FOLLOWING YEAH, I THINK ESPECIALLY A PROJECT LIKE THAT WOULD LEAD TO THINK THEN YOU GUYS HAVE YOU WOULD BRING THOSE IDEAS BACK TO THE BOARD GET CONSENSUS ON THE BOARD LIKE THIS IS WHERE WE ARE.THIS IS WHAT WE THINK OUR NEXT STEPS ARE WITH REACHING OUT TO BUSINESSES ARE SURVEYING.
BUSINESS YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THOSE THINGS WOULD BE, AND THEN IF IT IS A FOCUS GROUP OR SOMETHING ELSE, BUT BOARD COULD DIRECT THAT ACTION, SO THAT WOULD BE ONE WAY THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK. UM I THINK EVEN, YOU KNOW, JUST THE NUTS AND BOLTS. WHEN DO YOU WANT TO MEET? HOW DO YOU WANT TO MEET? YOU KNOW THOSE THINGS WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND AS WELL SO WE CAN UM AND GETTING THIS INFORMATION WILL HELP US WORK WITH OUR CITY ATTORNEY TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW, DOING THIS THE RIGHT WAY. I CAN SEE THE QUESTION WOULD BE SO LAST MONTH, SAM ALEX TALKED ABOUT YOUR CYCLING AND IF WE HAD A SUBCOMMITTEE THAT WAS YOU KNOW, SORT OF A COMPOSTING LIKE WASTE WASTE DIVERSION, I GUESS. UM. SORT OF LOOKING AT THE WHOLE. BIGGER PICTURE, WOULD IT? WOULD IT BE OKAY TO HAVE SOMEONE LIKE SAM ATTENDING THOSE MEETINGS? OR WHAT WOULD IT BE? IS THAT GET TO COMEDY? YOU KNOW , I'M NOT OFF. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING I'D HAVE TO JUST MAKE SURE IF THAT'S A GOAL, THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE CONFINES OF THE CITY ATTORNEY AND MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WE COULD TAKE THIS. MEETING TIME. EVERY OTHER MONTH. I'M JUST BRAINSTORMING HERE AND HAVE FOCUSED LIKE WORK SESSIONS. BECAUSE THE BOARD CAN HAVE A WORK SESSION. WE COULD POST THAT WE COULD HAVE IT IN THIS ROOM, WHICH IS MORE AROUND THE TABLE, SO IT'S EASIER TO KIND OF HAVE A CONVERSATION AND DISCUSSION. SO THAT WOULD BE ONE THING AND THAT WOULD STILL BE A PUBLIC MEETING SO WE COULD INVITE PEOPLE TO ATTEND. SO THAT WOULD BE THAT COULD BE ONE IDEA WE COULD DO LIKE EVERY OTHER MONTH TYPE THING IF WE WANT TO YEAH, JUST THROW IT OUT DIFFERENT IDEAS. I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS FOR YOU GUYS TO UNDERSTAND.
LIKE HONE IN ON WHAT? THAT TOPIC IS AH. AND THEN. SEE WHAT YOU WANT, YOU KNOW, LIKE, WHAT ARE WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE? YOU HAVE TO BE JUST FROM ONE TOPIC. MULTIPLE SUB COMMITTEES.
I DON'T I DON'T. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE EFFECTIVE AND WHAT WE'RE DOING. I DON'T KNOW LIKE IT'S THAT I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS I DON'T KNOW UNTIL WE KNOW THE CONTEXT OF WHAT EACH SUBCOMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE DOING IN TERMS OF THE ANONYMOUS STAFF SUPPORT THAT EACH WOULD BE NEEDED. UM CERTAINLY EXPANDING THE COMPOSTING PROGRAM SEEMS LIKE THAT. THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST IN THAT A LOT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIGURE THAT OUT, SO THAT WOULD BE ONE BUT UM SEEMS LIKE HAS BROAD. YOU KNOW THE SPORT INTEREST IN DOING THAT, UM IF IT IS REDUCING WASTE . I MEAN, THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN DO IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS MEETING AS WELL. IF WE MAKE IT MORE LIKE A WORK SESSION THAN A LIKE A MEETING WITH A BUNCH OF PRESENTATIONS. AND THAT MIGHT BE JUST AS EFFECTIVE AS CREATING SUBCOMMITTEE YEAH. I MEAN, I THINK TO YOUR QUESTION, PETE. I MEANT WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE IDEA. BOARD IS DONE. UM I DIDN'T HEAR THE BELL THERE.
UM, THAT THERE HAS BEEN INTEREST FROM OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT DON'T SIT ON THE BOARD, SO TRYING TO FACILITATE SOME OF THESE LARGER, MAYBE SCOPE. IDEAS THAT COULD BRING IN SOME ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO BE INVOLVED WITH IN TERMS OF JUST THAT SUBCOMMITTEE LEVEL, GIVING INPUT AND POTENTIALLY GOING OUT DOING SOME LEGWORK TYPE OF THING. I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT GONNA SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE I'M ONLY ONE PERSON THAT FILLED OUT THE ASSESSMENT. FOR ANNA. I KNOW. IN SOME INSTANCES, I FELT LIKE THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE COULD DIG INTO DEEPER IF THERE WERE A FEW PEOPLE AND THEN ONE MORE TIME TO GO THROUGH. YEAH
[00:40:04]
ONCE OR TWICE DURING THE MONTH AND THEN COME BACK AND REPORT BACK IN, UM I'M LOOKING AT, FOR INSTANCE, THE, UM RESIDENT COMMERCIAL. PROGRAM FRAMEWORK. UM BUT I DON'T THINK I WAS ALONE. BUT I WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT SAID, I THINK LIKE TO GET ON THAT PROGRAM, SO DOING SOME MORE DIGGING IN THAT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT'S THE KIND OF THING I JUST LOVE. GOOD. LOVE IT AT ANNA OR YOURSELF, TOO. GO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT, UM SO TO YOUR POINT, AND MAYBE HAVING WORKING SESSIONS WOULD WOULD DO THAT, UM, I JUST IT, I THINK FOR ME AGAIN. I FELT HAVING SUBCOMMITTEES THAT COULD MEET MORE FREQUENTLY, MAYBE THAN ONCE A MONTH WOULD HELP GAIN SOME TRACTION OF THESE THINGS. WOULD, UM UM. JUST LIKE WHAT WE WOULD CHECK IN WITH THE WHOLE BOARD. WOULD THOSE MEETINGS BE POSSIBLE TO BE DURING THE DAY? AND WE CAN LIKE I'M CONCERNED IN MY CURRENT STATE. YES I MEAN, BECAUSE I THINK THAT WAS YOU. YOU BOTH BRINGS IT UP AS AN ISSUE, BUT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, MEETING AT SIX O'CLOCK ON A RANDOM WEEKNIGHT ISN'T NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN RELY ON STAFF TO DO SO. UM HE WOULD HAVE TO BE SOMETHING WORK. PEOPLE THAT WERE INVOLVED WITH DOING WOULD HAVE TO BE OKAY WITH THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE TO BE MAKING SCHEDULES. DOES THIS STUFF PERSON HAVE TO BE PRESENT AT THE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING? YES, THEY YES, THEY DO. OKAY? IN IN A LOT OF THIS, WE'VE IN OUR CITY CODE. THERE ARE GENERAL RULES FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT TOOL.TO FIT WHAT YOU GUYS WANT TO ACHIEVE, AND IT'S ALL DOABLE. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING IT WITHIN THE CONFINES. WHAT ARE OUR BOARDING COMMISSION RULES SAY, UM IN IN THERE. AGAIN JUST LEARNING THAT YOU KNOW IF IT'S THAT A SMALLER GROUP WOULD BE A MORE EFFECTIVE THAN THAT, LIKE A SUBCOMMITTEE SEEMS TO BE A EFFECTIVE WAY TO DO THAT, IF IT'S JUST UM, LIKE A WORK SESSION COULD ALSO BE EFFECTIVE . IF WE JUST REALLY WANT TO BE IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT'S MORE CONDUCIVE TO LIKE, BRAINSTORMING AND WORKING THROUGH THINGS, THEN FORMAL, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC MEETING WITH AN AGENDA LIKE WE HAVE. YOU KNOW THAT MIGHT BE AND MAYBE IT'S A COMBINATION OF BOTH OF THOSE THINGS TOO. BUT IF IT'S YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE ONE THING TO THINK THROUGH IS DO WE WANT TO? IS OUR FIRST TOPIC THIS COMPOST , EXPANDING THE COMPOSTING PROGRAM ON, YOU KNOW, COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL FRONT SICK IS THAT WHAT WE WANT TO FOCUS ON NOW, AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, WE CAN GO BACK TALK TO CITY ATTORNEY AND MAKE SURE LIKE THERE ARE THESE ARE THE BOARD'S GOALS. THIS IS WHAT GREAT WE PROPOSE TO DO AND JUST MAKE SURE BUT HE'S OKAY WITH THAT. DON'T SPEAK FOR EVERYBODY, AND WE HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT AREN'T HERE TONIGHT. I GUESS I THINK I'M I'M WHAT I'M FEELING IS THE SAME FEELING THAT I HAD THE LAST TIME. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS. OR AT LEAST LAST TIME I WAS HERE, WHICH IS THAT? THERE. THERE'S ALWAYS SEEMED TO ME TO BE MORE ENERGY. ON OUR GROUP TO WORK THAN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AND SO I'M THINKING UM THE REASON I BROUGHT UP MULTIPLE SUBCOMMITTEES. I THINK YOU ARE MULTIPLE WORKING OR WITHOUT WERE IS THAT LIKE THREE PEOPLE COULD THINK ABOUT COMPOSTING. BRING IT IDEAS BACK TO HER, DISCUSS AND DISSECT PROHIBIT THREE OTHER PEOPLE FROM YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A GOOD ONLINE RESOURCE. UM FROM REALLY SITTING DOWN AND BRAINSTORMING. OKAY, WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT AS A GROUP WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE OUT THERE? THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT. OH, YEAH. WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO GET THESE THINGS BUT AT LEAST LIKE PUSH SOMETHING TANGIBLE FORWARD. DO THOSE THINGS. ARE THEY MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE? LIKE CAN WE NOT DO THOSE THINGS AT THE SAME TIME. I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK YOU DON'T SUPPORT. THIS IS A PUBLIC BODY WHERE AN ADVISORY THIS IS AN ADVISORY BODY TO CITY COUNCIL AS CERTAIN YOU KNOW, AUTHORITIES. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING BECAUSE IT IS A PUBLIC BODY IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOU KNOW THE RULES THAT GOVERN DISCUSSING PUBLIC BUSINESS AND HE OPENED AND SO THAT INCLUDES NOTICING MEETINGS , MAKING SURE THEY'RE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S JUST IT'S NOT THAT I THINK WE ALL THAT WE COULDN'T MEET MORE FREQUENTLY OR GET DOWN AND DO THE WORK. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE I MEAN PART OF THE WORK IS BEING AN ADVISORY BODY TO COUNSEL IS THERE'S THIS KIND OF STUFF AND HAVING OPEN MEETINGS AND DISCUSSING THINGS IN PUBLIC? UM AND JUST WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM. YOU KNOW THE GOALS OF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE OUT OF. THIS IS IN THE CONFINES OF WHAT A PUBLIC BODY CAN CAN DO. AND
[00:45:04]
MAYBE WE THINK ABOUT IT. I MEAN, I AGREE WITH YOU. I THINK WE COULD, UH WORK TOWARD MULTIPLE SUBCOMMITTEES, AND I THINK THERE ARE MULTIPLE TOPICS THAT WE COULD BE WORKING ON. MAYBE WE THINK ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW THAT IT'S COMPOST, EXPANDING COMPOST AND VARIOUS WAYS IS ONE THAT COMES UP AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO MAYBE THAT'S THE SUBCOMMITTEE WE START WITH, AND THEN WE PLANNED IT BUILD TOWARD OTHERS OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW. IF WE THINK THAT'S THE ONE WE HAVE THE MOST MOMENTUM ON WE START THAT ONE SEE WHO'S INTERESTED. SEE HOW IT GOES FOR A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN MAYBE YOU PLANNED IT. EXPANDED SECOND SUBCOMMITTEE AND FEW MONTHS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOAL IS MORE FREQUENCY OF MEETINGS ON YOU KNOW, WHATEVER TOPIC IS CHOSE SELECTED BY THE BOARD. IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S A DESIRE. YEAH BUT I THINK IT'S FREE. IT'S FREQUENCY WITH THE GOAL OF. MOMENTUM AND YEAH, GET OUT SOMEPLACE. YEAH, UM I DON'T THINK ANYBODY. QUESTIONS THAT STOPS WORKING. YOU KNOW THEIR THEIR TAILS OFF. SO UM, I THINK JUST BEING ABOUT LIKE, GET IN AND GET SOME THINGS GOING AND, UM WHERE THERE'S SOME PASSION.FOR PARTICULAR THINGS I WAS GOING TO SAY TO THE TO THE BOARD BECAUSE I'M HEARING WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. AND, UM HMM. IT'S DIFFICULT TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AND DECISION WITHOUT HAVING PEOPLE SITTING HERE. UM BUT. IN IN BLUE ABOUT. MAYBE WE COULD EVEN CONSIDERED NEXT MEETING BEING A WORKING SESSION. IF WE DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC AWAITING OUR REVEALING THEY CAN STILL BE IN THAT FORMAT, THOUGH. I THINK SO, YEAH. I THINK WE COULD DO THAT JUST ONE WEEK AND SIT DOWN AND MAKE THEM GREAT. LET'S TAKE THESE PROGRAMS AWAY AND LET'S HASH IT OUT. BUT WE THINK IT COULD BE MICROBE POINT AS FAR AS GOOD, YOU KNOW, GETTING THINGS DONE DURING THE WORK DAY VERSUS EVENING, HE SAID. I MEAN FOR ME, I DURING SCHOOL, THEY OBVIOUSLY IT'S TOUGH, BUT YOU KNOW I CAN MEET RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, SO THAT POTENTIALLY COULD WORK SOMETHING, BUT I THINK WE CAN MAKE THAT WORK. SO WE'RE NOT STRETCHING PEOPLE BEYOND YEAH, OKAY, THERE'S A DON'T SPEAK FOR YOU. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOING SOME WORK. FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEE OR EVEN THIS BOARD. AND THEN HAVING A MEETING AT WHICH YOU'RE SHARING THAT INFORMATION, SO IT'S LIKE IF THERE'S CALLING A FEW LOCALITIES AGAINST INFORMATION THAT SOMETHING THAT ANNA CAN'T DO. I THINK ONE OF US CAN DO THAT WHENEVER YOU WANTED TO DO IT, BUT IT'S COMING BACK AND SHARING THAT TO GET TO A POINT. THAT'S WHEN STATUS THAT'S FORMALIZING THAT. I THINK STAFF IS INVOLVED FORMALIZED THAT AND TO MAKE SURE UM. YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE BOARD IS IN UNISON ON ALL THESE THINGS, AND IT'S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW. SEVEN DIFFERENT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT, BUT MEMBERS DOING DIFFERENT THINGS AND THEN ALSO THAT EVERYTHING IS COMING BACK TO THE CONFINES IN A REALLY PUBLIC WAY OF THE FULL BOARD, BECAUSE THAT AS A PUBLIC WARNING BODY, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO. SO WE'LL MAKE THAT A WORK SESSION. LET'S SEE HOW THAT GOES. IN NOVEMBER. I THINK THAT'S REALLY THAT THE WHAT WE WILL BE DOING NEXT MONTH IS REALLY CONDUCIVE TO THAT SORT OF STUDYING, ANYWAYS, UM AND WE'LL ADVERTISE THE LOCATION AND COUNCIL CONFERENCE ROOMS. WE CAN JUST ALL SIT AROUND THE TABLE AND LOOK AT THE APPLICATIONS. IN THE MEANTIME, SO IT'S IT. THIS HAS BEEN HELPFUL. FOR US BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE WE KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO WHAT FREQUENT MEETINGS. WHY WHAT THE GOALS ARE WE CAN GO BACK AND HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY JUST TO MAKE SURE LIKE THIS. THESE IDEAS. WE HAVE OFF IT WITHIN THE CONFINES OF WHAT DO YOU KNOW? PUBLIC BODY CAN DO, AND WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU NEXT MONTH AS WELL. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THIS IS FAIR, BUT I WOULD ALSO GUESS, THROW IT BACK TO STAFF TO I MEAN THAT'S EVOLVING. PARTY TO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WANTING TO DO SO, WITH THERE'S ELEMENTS OF THAT SIMULATE OH, MY GOD. I COULD NEVER POSSIBLY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TODAY TO GIVE THAT FIGURE OUT AND THAT'S WHERE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IN A SUBCOMMITTEE KIND OF SETTING THAT BE GOOD FOR US TO UNDERSTAND. YEAH I THINK WE'VE WE'VE PUSHED IDEAS THAT WE THINK ARE IMPORTANT. SO IT'S LIKE, I THINK TO SOME EXTENT SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE THROWN OUT BECAUSE WE'RE JUST CONCERNED LIKE THAT'S A LOT TO PUT ON SOMEONE'S PLATE. ONE DO THAT, RIGHT, BUT WE APPRECIATE THAT FROM YOU. IT'S ALL OKAY? NO, THIS WAS A GOOD DISCUSSION. I THINK THIS IS HELPFUL. IT KIND OF HELPS US DEFINE. THERE ARE DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR US. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CHOOSE
[00:50:02]
THE RIGHT OPTION THAT ACHIEVES WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. I WAS AND TREE OF JOHN IT DOWN, BUT I THINK HE ELEMENT IS OUR WOULD WE BE ABLE TO ENLIST ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY MEMBER. YEAH, INPUTS. YEAH, AND MAYBE IT'S A AND AGAIN WE'LL THINK THROUGH THIS, UM.MAYBE IT'S FOR A SHORT, YOU KNOW IT'S LIMITED DURATION AND THEN BRING BACK TO THE BOARD LIKE WE BUY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THERE'S SOME SORT OF SURVEY DONE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO YOU KNOW, THEN THAT'S A. THAT'S THE ACTION OF TASKS THAT WOULD COME OUT OF, YOU KNOW, AND IF YOU GOT THAT SUBCOMMITTEE WANTS TO HELP DESIGN THE SURVEY YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THAT'S KIND OF A DEFINED TASK FOR A SUBCOMMITTEE TO WORK ON THERE ARE YEAH, I WAS LIKE I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH JUST TO TRY TO LIKE SHAPE IN MY MIND WHAT THE BEST PATH WOULD BE IN ONE OF ONE OF THEM IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IN THE AD HOC COMMITTEE THAT WOULD JUST BE CREATED WILL SAY LIKE WE WANT TO FOCUS ON COMPOSTING FOR THREE MONTHS, AND WE'LL HAVE REALLY INTENTIONAL MEETINGS THE SECOND TUESDAY OF THE MONTH AT FOUR PM AND. AND THEN LIKE WE CAN REALLY LIKE, DRILL DOWN ON SOME OF THOSE WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE FROM THAT. UM MY QUESTION FOR NEXT MONTH IS DO YOU WANT TO BROADLY DIVE INTO ALL OF THESE? OR DO YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON ON NEARING DOWN A COUPLE OF THESE MORE CLOSELY. I WAS THINKING THAT WE WOULD TAKE NEXT MONTH AND USE THAT AS A SESSION TO GAIN INTEREST FROM THE ENTIRE BOARD AS TO WHICH OF THESE OKAY? NOT NECESSARILY WITH THE WITH THE INTENT OF DELETING IN A MORE LIKE WHO HAS AN INTEREST IN WANT TO DO THESE THINGS AND HAD TALKED THAT OUT TO SAY, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FOR EVERYBODY? OKAY? AND IT'S AGAIN AFTER THREE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THREE MEMBERS OF THOSE. YOU GOTTA DO IT. ALEX SITUATION. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY TO GET IN JUST TWO OF US LIKE THAT'S YEAH. OKAY, IT'S BEEN HELPFUL. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. UM. SO I THINK WITH WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU, THERE'S NO SPECIFIC MENTION OF SUBCOMMITTEES IN THIS, OF COURSE THAT COULD SHAPE HOW THE PROPOSED MEETING SCHEDULE AND EVERYTHING SHAKES OUT. UM. BUT IT'S THE CONTENT, THE GENERAL CONTENT AND BUDGET LOOK GOOD. I THINK, UM THE COUNCIL. BUDGET WORKSHOP IS. WHAT ARE HER AFTER THE 13TH? OKAY SO, UM, WE WOULD LOOK FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATION IF YOU LIKE. WHAT YOU SEE IF YOU HAVE, UM ANY ADDITIONAL EDITS. WE CAN WORK THOSE IN, UM BUT IF YOU DO LIKE WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU, THEN WE WOULD BE SEEKING RECOMMENDATIONS. TO, UM BUT IN FRONT OF COUNCIL.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING MISSING, BASED ON OUR CONVERSATIONS, PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW. UM AND YEAH, I DID. I DID INCLUDE SOME NOTES HERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WORK PLAN. SUMMARY, UM. ALL OF THESE THINGS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE INCLUDED NEXT YEAR, BUT YOU KNOW THE HAZARDOUS WASTE IT. IT WORKED OUT REALLY WELL FOR OCTOBER. UM IF WE LIKE THAT MONTH, WE CAN KEEP IT IN OCTOBER. I THINK BIRTHDAY IS JUST BOOKED UP SOLID, AND THAT'S STILL A NO. BUT IF THERE'S ANOTHER MONTH THAT YOU WOULD PREFER WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT AS WELL. UM AGAIN, WE'LL INTEGRATE GUEST SPEAKERS AND EDUCATIONAL MOMENTS AS. AS WE MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS WITH PEOPLE AND WILL REACH OUT THIS SUMMER LIST THAT UM, YOU PROVIDED IN THAT SURVEY FOR FEEDBACK. UM AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO SOME MENTION OF POTENTIALLY PRE SCHEDULING SOME BREAKS THAT MIGHT ALIGN WITH WHEN YOU ALL BEING GONE FOR HOLIDAYS OR OTHER COMMON UM. YAPS WHERE WE MIGHT STRUGGLE FOR QUORUM ANYWAY. AND SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DECIDE THAT NOW. THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
[00:55:06]
UM WE WILL HAVE OUR ANNUAL ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING IN JANUARY. UM SO THAT'S ONE HOLE WILL BE VISIT. UM A DATE AND TIME AND PLACE OF ALL THE MEETINGS. UM AND WE CAN KIND OF INCLUDE THAT IN THERE AS WELL. IT'S LIKE WE'RE GONNA BE BUSY. YEAH. GLAD TO SEE THE NATIVE LANDSCAPING PILOT ALL SCHEDULE ON THERE. THAT'S GOOD. IT'S A LOT OF FUN WORK.
