          BEAUTIFUL PLACE WOULD MOVE ALBANY ABOUT FOUR HOUSES ON THAT CIRCLE. ANYWAY, UM. I'M INTERESTED IN, YOU KNOW THE SUSTAINABILITY, INVASIVE SPECIES STREAM CORRIDORS. CONNECTIVITY BLUE WAY IS GREENWAYS HABITAT RESTORATION KIND OF LIKE AN AMATEUR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST, AMATEUR LANDSCAPE GARDENER, WHATEVER. UM BUT JUST, YOU KNOW, INTERESTED IN THESE THINGS, AND THAT'S WHY I STARTED COMING TO THESE MEETINGS. I REALLY COMMEND THE CITY AND WILL HELP ME FOR FORMULAS COMMITTEE AND HAVING AN INTEREST IN TRYING TO. SO SOME PROBLEMS GOING FORWARD ALSO, THANK YOU GUYS. FOR ALL THE EFFORTS YOU HAD THE THINGS YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED ALREADY, SO FAR, I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY AND CERTAINLY A LOT INVOLVED. UH COUPLE, UH, THIS COMMENTS STATUS REALLY LOUD. UM. ON THE BASIS OF SPECIES PROGRAM TRADING PROGRAM. I THINK THIS IS A REALLY GREAT START, UH, HE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER MAYBE CONFINING IT TO SHRUBS AND BUSHES AND STUFF, I GUESS BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE OF MY LITTLE PROPERTY. I JUST MY BRADFORD PEAR THAT WAS THERE FOR 27 YEARS. COST ABOUT $800 TO REPLACE WITH A NICE TREE, ANOTHER $800 TO REMOVE IT. GET THROUGH SOIL GRIND OUT THE ROOTS , BLAH, BLAH BLOSSOM $1500. I DOUBT YOU'RE GOING TO GET ANYONE TO DO THAT AND GET $100 GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR A NEW TREE. UH SO THAT THAT'S JUST ONE THOUGHT ON THAT. UH SO. SO I ALSO DID LIKE A LITTLE SURVEY OF MY LAWN JUST TO SEE WHAT BASIS SPECIES I HAVE, WHICH WAS VERY INTERESTING. I USED AN APP CALLED PICTURE OF THIS AND IT'S $29 A MONTH. IT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY GOOD. IT HAS BASIC INFORMATION, AND IS IT INVASIVE? IT'S NOT NOT TAKE CARE OF IT. WHATEVER SO THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD RESOURCE FOR THE COMMUNITY. UM BUT YOU KNOW, I FOUND HONEYSUCKLE WHITE, MULBERRY, VIRGINIA CREEPER. JAPANESE 
          [00:05:05]
QUINCE COMMON JUST DANGLING ON JUST LITTLE THINGS GROWN IN MY BED. YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THAT THEY WERE INVASIVE. AND I GUESS HENCE THE EDUCATION PART OF THIS FOR THE COMMUNITY. I ALSO WHICH WAS SURPRISING TO LOT OF NEED THINGS GROWING. MY BED SAID I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW BUT I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE JUST RIPPED THEM OUT. AND I MIGHT STILL BUT BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE TREES, LIKE AT EASTERN CARTON WOULD WHICH IS KIND OF SMALL. I HAVE WHITE ASH GROWING SUGAR MAPLES, JUST RANDOM BIRD SEEN TROPICS, SO IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING. BUT I ALSO YOU KNOW, HAVE FREE BIG WOOD, SORREL, PRIMROSE, BUTTERNUT HICKORY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, IT'S AMAZING, UM. SO I GUESS WE'RE REALLY THE EFFORT REQUIRES INFORMATION AND EDUCATING COMMUNITY. ONE THOUGHT AND I'M SURE HE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS IS ALREADY IS USING SOME OF THE SCHOOL KIDS AS AS A PROGRAM TO EDUCATE THEIR PARENTS. YOU KNOW, HERE'S A LIST OF BASIC SPECIES, IDENTIFYING WHATEVER AND INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE REBATE PROGRAM. I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD WAY TO APPROACH THAT THE OTHER THING, AND I JUST TALKED TO BRING THIS TO CLOSE. QUICKLY. CONSIDER NOTES. EVERYONE WANTS TO GO HOME. IS THE NATIVE LANDSCAPES. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE AN INITIATIVE TO START INVESTIGATING THAT. DEFINITELY INTERESTED. UM YOU KNOW, NEW ALBANY IS A COMMUNITY WITH WHITE FENCES. OPEN GRASSY FIELDS FIELD . YOU'RE IN KENTUCKY AT THE HORSE FARM. WHATEVER IT'S BEAUTIFUL, BUT I DO THINK THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR, UH, RESTORING SOME HABITAT CONNECTING GREEN SPACE ENHANCING THE BEAUTY OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          WITH THE NATIVE PRAIRIE GRASS AND, UH, FLOWERS, TREES, WHATEVER. UM. AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE IN DUBLIN IN WESTERVILLE. THEY'VE DONE SOME OF THIS BEAUTIFUL, UM, IT REALLY ADVANCES AREAS. PLUS, IT'S STILL ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE GRASS. I KNOW MY WIFE. WE WALKED AROUND. AND LIKE, WHAT IS THIS GRASS HERE? SHE WAS LIKE THAT GRASS GET ANOTHER UPHILL BATTLE. UM BUT I THINK THERE IS OPPORTUNITIES TO SHRINK SOME OF THE CLASS GRASS SPACES OVER TIME. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF BENEFITS TO THAT. AND I THINK THE LANDSCAPERS WOULD STILL HAVE TO BE INVOLVED BECAUSE IT DOES REQUIRE SOME EFFORT. UM POSSIBLE AREAS THAT I THOUGHT OF AS YOU KNOW. 161 TO ALBANY ROAD EXIT RAMPS, A GIANT FIELD WHERE THE SNOW BLOWS OVER EVERY YEAR. THEY PUT SNOW FENCE THERE. THAT WOULD BE A GOOD SPOT, UH, AT THE POND AND STREAM IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL, WANT VOTER AND PUBLIC GRANDPA ROAD. IT'S ALREADY STARTED. UH WANT SOME FENCE LINES, THE COMMUNITY GARDEN OVER HERE. THE CIRCLE AND AT THE END OF MY ROAD AND HAPPENS VERY AND MORALS, BERRY. IT'S JUST GRASS AND THEY JUST PUT PESTICIDES ON IT. IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. UM THOSE ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, A LONG STREAM TRAINERS, EXISTING PARTS AND GREEN SPACES AND, OF COURSE, ENHANCING SOME OF THE ALRIGHT, MR RUSSIANS. UM CORRIDORS. STRANGE EASEMENTS ALL ALONG THERE. IT'S JUST ENHANCING THAT IMPROVING IT AND MAYBE GET LARGER SO ANYWAY. THERE IS THERE IS, UM THIS IS THE LAST THING PRAIRIE BETWEEN NURSERY HAS INSECT TOPIA SEED MIX, WHICH IS PRAIRIE GRASS AND MADE OF FLOWERS. I ACTUALLY PURCHASED 500 SQUARE FEET. I'M GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST PLOT. 200 SQUARE FEET POPULAR THE DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT IS A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT. FORGIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO SO, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE LIKE A SHADY WOULD LEND MIX. AND THE STUFF SEEMED PRETTY COOL. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON IT. EVERYTHING IN THERE IS NATIVE WERE BENEFICIAL AND SOME WAY IT WAS DEVELOPED BY SOME COLLABORATION WITH OHIO STATE AND SOME OTHER SEED BANK PEOPLE, SO PRETTY INTERESTING STUFF. SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. I GUESS I JUST WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT APP THAT YOU'RE USING TO PICTURE THIS? AND DO WE KNOW ARE THERE FREE ONES OUT THERE OR I'M SURE THERE IS WORTH IT. I'M JUST WOULD BE NICE TO PROMOTE WITH PROGRAM. COUPLE OF FREE ONES I'VE USED ARE DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR. WHEN YOU GET THIS PICTURE, IT'S ONE OF 20 THINGS. YOU'RE LIKE, OKAY, I WOULD IMAGINE THE SUBSCRIPTION WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE ACCURATE THAN MAYBE THAT'S GOOD. FAMILY WEIRD STUFF WITH IT. YOU KNOW I GO, CLARK ON STARTED. REALLY YOU NEED HELP WITH ANYTHING LIKE THIS. FASCINATING. WHAT YOU GUYS DO YOU USE MARY LOU. WE USED A NATURALIST AT SCHOOL. BUT FOR EVERYBODY LIKE I KIND OF JUST USE THE GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH TAKES A PICTURE AND THEN I THINK IT'S CALLED GOOGLE LENS. BUT YEAH, PROBABLY AN OUTLIER BECAUSE I DON'T NORMALLY. YEAH WELL, THE NATURAL, PLEASE VIDEO. IT'S CALLED A BIO BLITZ WHEN WE 
          [00:10:04]
TRY TO IDENTIFY MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES AS WE CAN ON OUR SCHOOL CAMPUS, BUT BUT, YEAH, I REALLY LIKE YOUR LINE OF THINKING. I THINK WE THINK ALIKE. YOU KNOW, WHEN I'M DRIVING AROUND TOWN, I SEE THESE BIG GRASS AND SPACES EVERYWHERE. AND LIKE YOU SAY, I MEAN PEOPLE REALLY LIKE THAT, BUT I THINK IT COMES DOWN TO STARTING SMALL AND SORT OF, YOU KNOW, UH, EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE. I THINK PEOPLE GET NERVOUS ABOUT NATIVE PLANTS. BECAUSE THEY FEAR IS IT'S GOING TO GET OVERGROWN OR IT'S GOING TO LOOK YOU KNOW, UNRULY. UH BUT I'M ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT FACEBOOK GROUPS WHERE THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DOING THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY EXAMPLES AND WE, YOU CAN , YOU KNOW, START SMALL AND STRUCTURE IT AND REALLY BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT HOW YOU INCLUDE PLANTS, SO THEY'RE COMING IN A DIFFERENT LEVELS, AND IT'S NOT YOU KNOW, LOOKING ALL HAPHAZARD DOESN'T LOOK YOU KNOW, LIKE A ROSE GARDEN. EXACTLY. BUT IT LOOKS, UM IT LOOKS REALLY NICE, I THINK, AND YOU'RE STILL GETTING THE NATIVES IN THERE. SO YOU KNOW, IN MY MIND, I THINK IT'S GREAT LIKE GONNA, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT DOING SOME SORT OF A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT HERE IN NEW ALBANY AS SORT OF A FORM OF EDUCATION. BUT YOU KNOW, AS IT BUILDS MOMENTUM WOULD BE FUN TO HAVE SORT OF, LIKE, UH, A , UH, YOU KNOW A PLACE OR THERE ARE EXAMPLES AROUND TOWN HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE TRIED NATIVE PLANNINGS AND YOU COULD HAVE A WEEK WHERE YOU KNOW YOU COME BY AND SEE WHAT THEY'VE DONE AND TALK TO PEOPLE OR THOSE TYPES OF THINGS BECAUSE I DO THINK PEOPLE GET NERVOUS ABOUT FIRST OF ALL BEING THE FIRST ONE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD TO DO THAT TO TRY AND NATIVE PLANTS VERSUS WHAT THEY CAN JUST PICK UP WITH THE NURSERY. AND THEN YOU KNOW, HOW DO I DO IT? AND WHERE DO I GET STARTED? AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF? SO UH, SO YEAH, I THINK WE'LL KEEP ON BUT THANKS FOR YOUR YOUR THOUGHTS. YEAH, YOU EXCUSE ME WHEN I WAS CORRECTING THE MINUTES THAT COMMENT THAT I MADE FROM LAST MEETING WAS REGARDING TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHAT SPECIES WE WERE GOING TO CLAIM AS BEING INVASIVE THAT PEOPLE COULD DO. THEY'RE TURNING ON. AND SO THE POINT WAS, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN LOCKSTEP WITH THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AND IF EVEN THAT NEXT TERM WOULD BE TO GRAB SOME OF THE LARGER LANDSCAPE PROVIDERS IN THE AREA THAT BECAUSE THERE'S A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE THAT DO I WOULD GUESS. 
          80% OF THE OF THE RESIDENCES. EXCUSE ME AND SO HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO WHETHER IT'S A MEET AND GREET WHERE YOU'RE LIKE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING AND INVITE THESE PEOPLE TO COME PARTICIPATE, SO THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE IT'S ONE THING TO START ON A PIECE OF PAPER FROM THE WEBSITE AND TO YOUR POINT YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE HIGHLY ENGAGED. THEY COULD MAYBE FIGURE IT OUT. OTHERS HAVE NO WORD, NO IDEA WHERE TO START AND ARE MORE CONCERNED THAT THERE COULD BE RUNNING AFOUL OF SOMETHING SO OUR GOAL IS TO TAKE A VERY HOLD HOME. HOLISTIC APPROACH TO THE ENTIRE THING. LET'S KNOCK ON WOOD. BUT THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR COMMENTS. UM 
          [VI. Business]
ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON TO TONIGHT'S BUSINESS. ALTERNATIVELY STAFF AND, UH, RUNNING SOLO SOLO STEP. MM. I GOT MANY LOSERS WELL, VERY LOOSE , RUNS HER OWN SOLO STATUS VARIETY. ALRIGHT, SO WE'LL DIVE IN, UM JUST BRIEF TOUCH BASE ON SOME OF OUR CURRENT PROJECTS THAT ARE ONGOING CARRYING OVER FROM THE FALL, UH, THE STUDENT LEADERS IN SUSTAINABILITY, PILOT GRANTS, UM I'M WORKING ON A COUPLE OF THE LOGISTICAL THINGS TO GET THEM, UM LIKE. A VERY SIMPLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THEIR SITE AGREEMENT OR APPROVAL FORM FROM THEIR SITE CONTACTS THAT NEED TO INDICATE THAT THEY ARE APPROVED. IN FACT, DO THESE PROJECTS ON THEIR PROPERTY. UM OTHER THAN THAT WE SHOULD BE EXPECTING WILL GET LIKE A MIDPOINT UPDATE IN A MONTH OR TWO MONTHS, AND THEN UM, AND OF SEMESTER UPDATE WHEN THEY WRAP UP THEIR PROJECTS, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO START SEEING THOSE THINGS POP UP. YOU'LL SEE THE NO. L'S BUT THEIR COMPOST BUCKETS AND, UM THINGS AT THE FARMER'S MARKET. POTENTIALLY INVOLVED IN OUR DATA, ARBOR DAY WEEK AND THEN UM WE MIGHT SEE AN UPTICK IN COMPOST REGISTRATIONS. THAT'S THE HOPE. AND THEN UM, WITH THE. ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. HOPEFULLY, WE'LL SEE THOSE SIGNS POP UP IF YOU IF YOU DO IF YOU DRIVE LAST YEAR AGO THAT WE WOULD WELCOME PICTURES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO UM YEAH, ON ITS WAY. WRITE ME IN THAT PROJECT IS THAT STRICTLY F HIGH SCHOOL LOOP. OR A SECOND SPREAD TO ALL THE DROP OFF AREAS . I THINK IN THEORY ALL THE DROP OFF AREAS. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO PHASE IT, UM OR IF THEY HAVE? YES THEY HAVE A PHASING PLANNER, OKAY? PROBABLY 
          [00:15:07]
I THINK THEY INTEND TO REALLY MAKE IT ARTISTIC AND MAKE THESE SIGNS KIND OF UM MAYBE NOT JUST LIKE A I DON'T KNOW. THEY WANT TO ADD SOME CREATIVITY AND WITH THEIR SIGNAGE, AND SO, UM, IT MIGHT BE A MATTER OF HOW LONG IT TAKES TO PRODUCE SOMETHING. THAT'S UNIQUE. WE REALLY NEEDED THE INTERMEDIATE. AT THAT LOOP BECAUSE WE GET THE PARENTS WHO COME AN HOUR AHEAD OF TIME AND YEAH, SITTING THERE. SO THEY CAN BE FIRST IN LINE READY PEOPLE IN THAT LOOP RIGHT NOW? YES WHATEVER THIS WAITING JUST IN CASE THINGS. I'VE BEEN BUGGING MY DAUGHTER. SHE'S ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB ABOUT GETTING GOING. SHE CLAIMS THEY'RE WORKING TOWARDS I THINK. YEAH ELS NEXT WEEK, SO I THINK I KNOW THEY'RE GREAT. COMING HERE ALREADY GOT THEIR MEETING WITH ONE OF THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE PRIMARY BECAUSE PART OF THE PROGRAM IS TO EDUCATE STUDENTS AT THE PRIMARY TO KIND OF HELP THEM GET READY TO COMPOST AT THE INTERMEDIATE AND THEN ALSO TO KIND OF SPREAD THE WORD WITH THEIR FAMILIES ABOUT COMPOSTING AT HOME. SO, UM YEAH, IT WILL BE EXCITING TO SEE PEACE IMPLEMENTED. UM WITH THE INVASIVE TRADE IN PROGRAM. UM WE ARE LOOKING TO ROLL THAT OUT. UM BE READY IN TIME FOR DATA. ARBOR DAY. UM, SO SPRING BEING THE IDEAL TIME TO PULL THINGS AND MAYBE THEN THE RECEIPTS WILL BE ABLE TO BE SUBMITTED IN MAY. I BELIEVE, UM AND AS PART OF THAT, HOWARD I KNOW YOU HAD MENTIONED UM INCLUDING LIKE THE EDUCATIONAL COMPONENTS OF LIKE WHAT CAN PULL AND WHAT SHOULD YOU PUT AND I KNOW MARY LOU HAS A LIST OF THINGS TO TARGET AND WILL REALLY INCORPORATE INTO THAT, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE IMAGES AND THE EDUCATION AND, UM, TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE AREN'T PULLING THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY BENEFICIAL. UM SO I THINK. I HAVE ANOTHER MEETING WITH FRANKLIN. SOIL AND WATER TOMORROW TO KIND OF TOUCH BASE. MAKE SURE WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE. UM AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE. I CAN'T RECALL. IF WE TALKED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A SITE VISIT FROM EITHER THEY WERE MARRIED LOUIS GROUP. FOR RESIDENT THAT JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM. DID WE BROACH THAT OR DID I TREAT IT? I DON'T THINK WE COULD HAVE DREAMT IT. IS THAT FEASIBLE? I'M GONNA SAY NO. I THOUGHT I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT. MAYBE WHICH IS WHY PROBABLY MAINLY BECAUSE I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE MIGHT NEED ME TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT A PLANT AND I DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVE TIME FOR THAT. I DON'T WANT TO COMMIT TO SOMETHING THAT I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH. AND THEN I ALSO DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE ALL OVER PEOPLE'S PRIVATE PROPERTY, LOOKING AT THINGS, AND THEN I FEEL LIKE THAT COULD SNOWBALL INTO ME LOOKING AT OTHER THINGS ON PEOPLE'S PRIVATE PARTY WHILE YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT THIS TREE WOULD DO THAT. 
          YOU KNOW, SO PROBABLY NOT NOT GOOD. YEAH WE DO HAVE WORKED IN THAT THEY DO STILL HAVE TO SUBMIT PICTURES, PICTURES AND EVIDENCE AND THAT WILL EITHER BE VETTED BY STAFF MOST OR MOST LIKELY, FRANKLIN, SOIL AND WATER . UM AND SO IN THAT PROCESS, IF THEY LIKE COOL THINGS THAT. WAIT A SECOND LIKE THAT'S NOT RIGHT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A VOUCHER FOR PULLING OUT A NATIVE PLANT. I KNOW THAT ON FRANKLIN STARTLED WATERS WEBSITE. NOW THEY DO OFFER THAT YOU COULD CALL SOMEBODY. THEY'RE NOT. THEY'RE NOT JOHNNY ON THE SPOT REACTIVE BECAUSE THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY I THINK THEY'VE GOT ONE OR TWO PEOPLE THAT DO IT ON A REGULAR BASIS, BUT THAT WOULD BE AN OPTION, I GUESS. IN A UM MAYBE WE DON'T WANT TO POST THAT OR ADD THAT TO THE INFORMATION, BUT JUST KNOWING THAT THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY. IF SOMEONE WERE TO CALL AND SAY, HEY, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS. IS THAT REASONABLE, TOO? PROPOSE. UM, FOR FRANKLIN TO PROMOTE THE FRANKLINS BOILING WATER. YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT. GOOD THINKING, LIKE HOWARD JUST TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW? GETTING KIDS INVOLVED WITH EDUCATING AND GETTING FAMILIES INVOLVED WITH THINKING ABOUT IT BASED, BUT THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN THERE. UM YARD A COUPLE YEARS AGO, YOU CAME AND PRESENTED TO THE KIDS ABOUT BASES. IN THE SPRINGTIME. SO I'M THINKING I WONDER IF WE COULD DO THAT AGAIN, BUT MAYBE REALLY KIND OF, UM, CONNECTED TO THIS PROGRAM AND THINK ABOUT LIKE WHAT SPECIFIC THINGS MIGHT KIDS HAVE AND THEN WE HAVE SOME KIND OF FOLLOW UP PIECE I COULD SEND HOME TO PARENTS EITHER FLYER OVER EVEN A LITTLE SLIDE SHOW THEY WOULD HAVE, LIKE A FEW IN LIKE, YOU KNOW, JUST FOUR OR FIVE OF THE MOST PROMINENT INVASIVE THAT THEY COULD LOOK 
          [00:20:04]
FOR WANTED. MOST WANTED EXACTLY. WE COULD PUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YEAH THAT COULD BE COOL BECAUSE WE USUALLY GO OUT LIKE MAYBE. AND PAUL HONEYSUCKLE FROM WHY DON'T YOU GUYS WENT OUT TO SPEAKER THIS YEAR BUT FROM HIS FARM SWIGERT OR ONE OF THE WOODS AROUND THERE SO WE COULD KIND OF TIE IT TO THAT TO 6 TO 10. HIS FIRST WEEK, SO PERFECT, OKAY? ANY TIME IN THERE. UM. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS. QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE TWO. I FELT LIKE I WAS MISSING SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON ON THIS SLIDE FOR SOME REASON, BUT AM I MISSING SOMETHING OBVIOUS THAT YOU NEED AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE MOVED TO EARTH DATA. ARBOR DAY, WE SORRY, GOT SHUFFLED NOW. HMM. 
          ON OUR WORK PROGRAM. IT HAD A REVIEW AND UPDATE OF SUSTAINABLE 2050 STATUS. SO WORKED. YES SO THAT IS JUST KIND OF AN INTERNAL , UM, THING I NEED TO TOUCH BASE WITH MORE PC AND SEE, UM GOOD HOW OFTEN WE HAVE TO RESUBMIT AND KIND OF RE UP ELIGIBLE FOR SOMETHING NEW, BUT, UM, GREAT. 
          SO OH, SORRY TO BACK UP SO WHEN DO YOU THINK THAT WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING TO REVIEW? THAT'S LIKE BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU'D HANDED OUT EXAMPLE FROM PLACE IN ILLINOIS OR INDIANA THAT HAD A PROGRAM FOR THEIR INVASIVE TRADE OUT. WHEN DO YOU THINK WE'D HAVE A SOMETHING TO REVIEW NEXT MONTH. DID YOU SAY THAT AND I JUST DIDN'T LISTEN AT ALL, OKAY. I HAVE A CONCERN THAT I'M NOT HEARING THINGS SO SORRY. SO EARTH DAY TO ARBOR DAY. WE ARE BACK AT IT AGAIN. UM YOU'RE THREE. KIND OF, UM. SO THIS OVERVIEW THIS IS FROM LAST YEAR AND SO WHAT I WANT TO DO IS SEE. 
          UM AT A QUICK PLANTS FROM LAST YEAR. WHAT DO YOU I THINK WORKED WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK WE CAN SCRAP? WOULD YOU LIKE TO SWAP IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE? YOU WASTE, RIGHT HAS TO STAY. THAT WAS MHM. 
          YES I'M HAPPY TO SAY WE HAVE OFFICIALLY. UM BOOKED THE 27TH. SO WILL BE THE END OF THE WEEK INSTEAD OF THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. AND WE WILL DO THE WAIST AND HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE AT THE SAME TIME. IT'S COOL. THAT'S GREAT DOUBLEHEADER. SO UM, THAT WILL BE AGAIN AT PUBLIC SERVICE. 
          AND WE'LL DIG OUT ALL THE CONES. WE HAVE DIRECT PEOPLE. UM AND SO WE'LL PROBABLY NEED. A LOT OF YOU THERE TO HELP SUPPORT THAT EVENT SIGNED FOR THE START OF FIELDS FOR THE SOCCER FIELDS. UM UM, REROUTE ALL THE SOCCER MOMS AND GRANDMAS AND IT DID WE EVER GET A FINAL INVOICE FOR THE DID AND WE MEANT TO PRINCE THAT OUT. UM I'LL PULL THAT UP AND GIVE YOU THOSE NUMBERS. UM IT IT HONESTLY WAS. LET ME JUST PULL IT UP NOW. UH, WAY MORE. THEN YOU COULD HAVE THOUGHT IN TERMS OF POUNDS THAT WE COLLECTED BUT NOT IN DOLLARS THAT WE NEED TO PAY RIGHT. SCARED. YOU SCARED ME THERE AWAY ANYMORE. IT WAS RELATED DEFINITELY WITHIN OUR BUDGET. UM AND IT. IT DOES MAKE ME CURIOUS FOR THIS NEXT YEAR IF PEOPLE COULDN'T MAKE IT, LIKE WHAT WILL HAVE, BUT I THINK UM, BECAUSE I THINK, DO WE BUDGET 20,000? OKAY, SO WE DIDN'T GO OVER 20. NO IT WAS AROUND 15 AND I BELIEVE. WELL, I'M FINDING THIS ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ON THAT WEEK. UM. HOW WAS THE I GUESS THE DATE AND TIME OF THE CREEK STOMPED. WELL ATTENDED AND LOTS OF ADULTS THERE WE DID. A LOT OF 
          [00:25:06]
THE INTEL CROWD CAME HEAVY. YEAH, I WAS HOPING FOR MORE FAMILIES AND YOUNG KIDS. I THINK THAT AREA GETS USED A LOT. I MEAN, I SEE KIDS. THEY'RE A LOT, ESPECIALLY NICE CAGE ON THE WEEKENDS. BUT, UM MAYBE WE COULD DO AND I CAN MAYBE DO MORE TO HELP WITH ADVERTISING THAT BECAUSE I THINK REALLY, YOU WANT KIDS LIKE PRIMARY AGENTS KIND OF YOUR KEY. DEMOGRAPHIC, YOU KNOW, LIKE 54 TO EAT SORT OF KIDS THAT REALLY LIKED THAT STUFF. SO UM, YEAH, WE CAN COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF FLY OR SOMETHING. I CAN WORK WITH THE PRIMARY. MAYBE GET THAT DIRECTLY TO THEM. YOU SENT HOME, YOU KNOW, LIKE I'M THERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY CALL IT NOW, BUT THE FIRE DIGITAL FIRE THING, UM BECAUSE I THINK IT'S REALLY GOOD EVENT, BUT YEAH, I DON'T REMEMBER. YOU KNOW HOW MANY KIDS ROUGHLY AND MAYBE 10? KIDS 10, MAX. PROBABLY, UM. BUT THE KIDS THAT WERE THERE FINE. 
          THEY WERE INTO IT. I WAS INTO IT . SIX CRY DADS. AND SOME OTHER SORT OF. YEAH REALIZE THE CRIME THAT'S COULD GET THAT BIG, SMALL BODY OF WATER. YES I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH DOING AGAIN. 
          SORRY UM, OK, SO WE'LL KEEP CREEKS ON AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT DOVETAILED INTO THAT, UH, THE WITH THE UNNATURAL APP AND LIKE THE SCAVENGER HUNT IS THAT PART OF IT IS THAT CAPTURED UNDER INDEPENDENT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES, SO YES. WITH THE CROWD. EDS. UM SO. ABBEY BROOKS IS WORKING WITH MAYBE SANDY OR THE SCHOOLS TOO. UM DO A BIOPSY. LET'S I THINK WITH COAST SIDE, POTENTIALLY THE WEEK AFTER, AND UNFORTUNATELY, IT JUST DOESN'T ALIGN BECAUSE OF TESTING. UM, WITH THIS WEEK, BUT THE BIO BLITZ WILL HAPPEN AT TAYLOR FARM THE FOLLOWING WEEK. SO, UM AND THAT WILL BE REALLY COOL, TOO. KIND OF AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT DOCUMENTS SOME OF THOSE IN UM OF THOSE NATIVE PLANTS AND ALL OF THE CRITTERS THAT ARE OUT THERE AND THEN OVER TIME, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE IF WE DO IT REPEATEDLY. UM KIND OF THE BIODIVERSITY. UM CHANGE OVER TIME. YEAH WE TAKE ALL THE FIFTH GRADERS OUT THERE FOR A FIELD TRIP. SO I THINK I'LL BE REALLY NEAT WEEK. WE TRIED TO MENTION THAT THE NATURALIST ACTIVE SOME VOTES LAST YEAR AND TWO YEARS AGO, AND I THINK THEY'RE QUITE IT'S NOT LIKE THAT. EASY TO JUST LIKE, PICK IT UP ON THE FLY SORT OF THING SO WE COULD WE COULD TRY IT AGAIN. BUT I THINK IT'S BETTER LIKE AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL REALLY PRESENT. YEAH. WHEN IS THE, UM. COMMUNITY GARDEN, SHIFTING FROM. CITY HALL TO TAYLOR FARM. SO THAT IS A PART OF THE PHASE TWO OF TAYLOR FARM AND THAT IS ONGOING RIGHT NOW, SO THE GOAL IS TO HAVE THOSE LIKE UP AND READY COME SPRING FOR LIKE THIS WILL BE THE LAST YEAR OF THIS OUT HERE. MOST LIKELY, UM DO YOU THINK ASSUMING CONTRACTS BE DONE WITHIN THIS TIMING? UM I AM NOT SURE I. IF IT GOES ACCORDING TO HOW EVERYTHING ELSE IS TAYLOR'S GONE . I'M GONNA SAY WE'RE GONNA HAVE ONE MORE SEASON HERE AND THEN NEXT SPRING, WE'LL PARTY IT MIGHT BE DONE THIS SPRING SUMMER ISH, BUT PROBABLY NOT IN TIME AND JUST BEING AN EVENT OR SOMETHING AROUND THAT. YEAH. I WOULDN'T TURN TO YOU. BUT, YEAH, I MEAN, THIS WILL STILL BE OPEN HERE. OH, IT IS. YEAH, THIS AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL ATTENTION BEING NO. SO THERE STILL WILL BE A COMMUNITY GARDEN. AS FAR AS YOUR EVENING PROGRAMS. I KNOW I REALLY LIKE THE TOPICS AT THE ATTENDANCE WAS PRETTY MINIMAL, LIKE, GUESS, RIGHT. I MEAN, I GUESS THE QUESTION IS IT YOU KNOW, IT'S IS THAT, OKAY? THEY HAVE FOLKS COME AND GET ALL PREPARED. AND THEN I DID YOU FEEL LIKE IT WAS WORTH THEIR TIME TO COME OUT? I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE I WOULD SAY IT WAS WORTH IT, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SMALL. I THINK ABBY HAS AN IDEA. UM AND IT OUTT FOR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BRING MORE PEOPLE IN, UM POTENTIALLY EAT. DOING SOMETHING RELATED TO, UM, THE INVASIVE TRADE IN PROGRAM. RELATED TO LIKE NATIVE PLANTS AGAIN. UM OR I MEAN IT COULD REALLY BE ANY TOPIC THAT YOU ALL FIND FITTING. IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK WOULD REALLY CATCH PEOPLE'S ATTENTION. I MEAN, I WENT TO ONE THAT DENISON UNIVERSITY LAST YEAR. 
          [00:30:08]
THIS GUY DOUG TELLING ME YOU IT'S GOT STARTED. THIS PROGRAM CALLED THE WHAT'S IT CALLED BACKYARD NATIONAL PARK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? ANYWAY, AS SOON AS IDEAS THAT YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE INSTEAD OF JUST HAVING THESE HUGE SEPARATE NATIONAL PARKS WHERE WE GO AND VISIT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF CREATING THESE MINIATURE LITTLE PARKS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I THINK HE'S PRETTY HARD TO GET. BUT I GUESS I'M JUST THINKING OF SOMEBODY LIKE THAT THAT WOULD EXCITE PEOPLE FORGET THEIR INTEREST, BUT PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN LIKE WHAT HOWARD'S TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE STARTING TO GO NATIVE OR LOOKING FOR WAYS TO KIND OF GET INVOLVED WITH THESE ISSUES. I CAN BRAINSTORMING. SO I HAVE THE TOTALS. UM. FROM THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DRIVE. UM, COLLECTED OVER £16,000 OF PAINT. AND A TOTAL OF £22,800. OF HAZARDOUS MATERIAL MANAGED, WHICH INCLUDES. UM, SOME, LIKE CALCULATIONS TO ADJUST FOR THINGS LIKE THE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR THINGS THAT MIGHT BE MORE VAPORS. WHAT WAS THAT SECOND NUMBER? ANNA? SORRY. 22,873 MANAGED. INTERESTING OVER £1000 OF PUTTY AND ADHESIVES. SO YEAH. OVERALL A GREAT SUCCESS FOR FIRST YEAR. SO YEAH, SO WE'LL HAVE THAT AT THE END OF THE WEEK. UH HUH. BIRTHDAYS ACTUALLY MONDAY OF THAT WEEK, UM SO WE CAN KICK IT OFF ON MONDAY THIS YEAR. UM. AND I HAD MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY LAST YEAR. THE IDEA OF THIS 1000 HOURS OUTSIDE AS BEING, UM, A PROGRAM THAT. WE CAN INTEGRATE INTO THIS WEEK, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PARKS PASS OF TRYING TO GET. I MEAN, THE IDEA IS THAT KIDS SPEND ALL DAY ON ELECTRONIC NOW AND HOW CAN WE ADD SOME MOTIVATION AND INCENTIVES TO GET THEM OUTSIDE? AND SO? UM THINKING ABOUT ACTIVITIES THAT WILL HELP GET THEM OUTSIDE. ESPECIALLY THROUGH THAT WEEK, AND THEN WE CAN, UM, PROMOTE. THOSE EVENTS ACTIVITIES OUTDOORS WITH THE PARKS PASS. UM AND THEN WITH THE NOEL'S, THEY HAVE A PLAN TO READ A LIBRARY BOOK RELATED TO COMPOSTING. UM IF THEY CAN FIND ONE AT THE LIBRARY AND THEN ENCOURAGE FAMILIES TO SIGN UP IF THEY'RE THERE. IT'S NOT A LIKELY BE THAT WEEK AS WELL. SO ANYTHING YOU FEEL IS MISSING. CAN YOU GO BACK TO LAST YEAR'S SO THE ONLY ONE THAT KIND OF FEEL LIKE IT'S A MESS WE DO EVERY DAY FOR YEARS, THE ARBOR DANG AND WE DO LIKE KIND OF SYMBOLIC TREE PLANTING, WHERE YOU KNOW, LIKE WE COME OUT QUITE LIKE SIX TREES SOMEWHERE. 
          UM IS THERE POTENTIAL OR AN AREA THAT WE NEED TO PLANT LIKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TREES THAT WE COULD GET LIKE? YOU KNOW, I THINK WE JUST DID THE REEFS ACROSS AMERICA AT THE CEMETERY AND WE HAD HIGH SCHOOL KIDS WE HAD YOU KNOW, BOY SCOUTS AND YOU KNOW, IF WE, YOU KNOW, PURCHASE SAY, 200 TREES AND WE HAVE AN AREA THAT WE CAN GO IN, LIKE WE'VE GOT TO GET ALL THESE HANDS OUT. YOU KNOW, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO LIKE ACTUALLY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PLANNING INSTEAD OF A SYMBOLIC ONE. LAST YEAR, WE DID RUSH PARK LIKE THAT. WE'D ACTUALLY LITTLE ONES NORTH OF THE CREEK. THERE 200 TREES, I THINK. OKAY SO DO WE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT SCHEDULED FOR AND WAS THAT VOLUNTEERS? AND DID THAT OR WAS STUDENTS OKAY SCHOOL STUDENTS AND PIZZA GLASSES AND SOME OF THE OTHER TEACHERS CLASSES, FIFTH GRADE OR SEVENTH GRADERS AND SENIORS, I THINK, REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WE HAD 267. PEOPLE. OKAY IT WAS REALLY, REALLY WELL ATTENDED. YEAH IT WAS REALLY GOOD, BUT SO RIGHT DOWN FROM RUSSIA PARK IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR IS BYINGTON PARK . WE JUST REMOVED THE INVASIVE SPECIES FROM THERE THIS PAST SUMMER. UM THAT'S WHERE I'M THINKING. WE WERE HOPING TO DO SWICORD WOODS BECAUSE WE ALSO EMERGING BASES FROM SPEAKER GOODS THIS YEAR, BUT IT'S REALLY DENSE WITH NATIVE PLANTS ALREADY , UM AND BUYING TENNIS LIKE I DON'T WANT TO CALL IT, BARON. BUT COMPARED TO LOSE SPEAKING, IT'S BARREN BECAUSE IT WAS DENSE LIKE WALL TO WALL HONEYSUCKLE THAT YOU COULD NOT GET THROUGH. 
          [00:35:03]
UM AND IT WAS JUST VERY DIRT UNDERNEATH IT. SO I THINK BYINGTON WOULD REALLY BENEFIT FROM A PLANTING LIKE THAT KIND OF WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THAT. YEAH, AND I THINK IT'S WALKABLE DISTANCE BECAUSE IT'S NOT MUCH FURTHER THAN RUSH PARK MAYBE, LIKE 10, 7 MILES FURTHER THAN RUSH PARK WAS SO SOME OF THOSE KIDS PLANTED WHAT FIVE OR MORE TREES. GREAT JOB HELP YOU DO IT ALL OUT THERE AS WE WERE IN AND OUT QUICKLY, SO, YEAH, IT WAS REALLY COOL OF THAT LITTLE GIRL IS MY NEIGHBOR WHO LOST YOUR DAD. AND SO SHE NAMED HER TREE AFTER HER HERE THAT SO SHE'S BEEN GOING BACK AND VISITING RELEASED. A LOT OF THEM ARE THEY'RE DOING REALLY WELL SO LITTLE. I KNOW SOME OF THE LITTLE SAPLINGS THEY TAKE SOME HEAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T EXPECT HIM TO LIVE AND ALL OF THAT, BUT A LOT OF THE TIME THAT THEY SURPRISE YOU WHEN THEY REALLY THEY LIVE, AND THEY GROW REALLY FAST COMPARED TO SOME OF THE BIGGER TREES AND SMALL LITTLE KIDS CAN REALLY, YOU KNOW , PLANT THEM THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF HAVING LIKE AN ADULT. 
          BASICALLY DO IT FOR THEM, YOU KNOW? SO YEAH, I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY EXCITING. HOPEFULLY, THE WEATHER WILL BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER. I WOULD. ANYTHING ELSE MISSING ANY OTHER IDEAS? I THINK WE WILL OPT TO HAVE THEIR NO. L'S LEAD THAT COMPOST 101. UM JOE, I THINK YOU CAME. UM AND YOU WERE ONE OF TWO PEOPLE. SO UM, IT WASN'T A VERY WELL ATTENDED EVENT. UM SO I THINK IF WE HAVE THE NOEL'S KIND OF LEAD THAT COMPOSTING ASPECT OF THE WEEK. UM I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT. OF COURSE, I'LL BE THERE FOR SUPPORT AND ANSWERING OTHER LOGISTICAL QUESTIONS AS WELL. 
          JUST ONE LAST THOUGHT. I KNOW HEALTHY NEW ALBANY. YOU KNOW, THEY DO A LOT OF HIKES, AND THAT KEPT THING. MOLLY SCOTT, WHICH ARE TYPICALLY YOU PAID FOR IT? UM, I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW, LIKE SANDY IS TRAINING. SANDY REID IS TRAINED IN LIKE FORCE THERAPY, AND SHE'S KNOWS MORE ABOUT THAT STUFF THAN ANYBODY. I KNOW, BUT I'M SURE SHE WOULD PART I CAN TALK TO HER ABOUT MAYBE LEADING HIKE OR SOMETHING LIKE A FAMILY HIKE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD BE FREE. UM VERSACE'S A TYPE THING WITH HER LAST YEAR ON THE COLDEST DAY OF THE YEAR. NICE YEAH. BITTER YEAH, IT WAS FUN STUFF. MHM SO, UM, YEAH, JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU REACH OUT HERE AND PICK IT UP. OKAY, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. SWEET. OKAY SO I, UM I FORGOT I DID SWAP. THE WORKING GROUP CONVERSATION WITH THE FOOD WASTE COMPOST BECAUSE I THINK THIS CAN KIND OF INFLUENCE THE WORKING GROUP CONVERSATION. UM SO I COLLATED YOUR SURVEY RESPONSES AND UM. CHARLES PETE, LAURA AND CATHERINE WERE ALL INTERESTED IN JOINING OUR WORKING GROUP. UM AND CATHERINE OPTED TO HAVE SHE GAVE PREFERENCE TO OTHER PEOPLE, SO THAT WAY IF THERE WAS A QUORUM ISSUE UM SO CHARLES, PETE AND LAURA. UM, IF YOU'RE STILL WILLING YOU WERE THE THREE. OF COURSE WE CAN. HAVE TO IF IT WORKS, UM WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU, THE MEETING TIME THAT WORKED BEST, WHO WAS WEDNESDAY'S AND THURSDAY'S PRACTICE SIX. I THINK WEDNESDAY'S HAVING AN ALTERNATE HAVING OUR MEETING ON THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH AND THEN HAVING THE WORKING GROUP THE FOURTH WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH WILL ALLOW A GOOD FLOW BETWEEN MEETINGS. UM AND THEN. UM KIND OF TO SUMMARIZE THE PURPOSE THAT WAS DISTILLED. UM REVIEW, ANALYZE AND RECOMMEND STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE AND EXPAND THE CITY'S MUNICIPAL FOOD WASTE COMPLEX PROGRAM. UM THAT PURPOSE CAN BE REVISED IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO BE, BUT IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED, IF WILL MAKE A PHONE OF MOTION. 
          UM TONIGHT. IF YOU'RE IF YOU AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS WE'LL MAKE THE FORMAL MOTION AND. ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT MEMBERS AND THE PURPOSE NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT MOTION. SO FEEL FREE TO REVISE THE PURPOSE IF YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO CHANGE. I FOR ME. I THINK THAT'S A GOOD GENERAL CAPTURE OF INTENT AND PURPOSE AND CERTAINLY, BUT SWEET, ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND WE 
          [00:40:06]
CAN KIND OF SETS OUT MAYBE MORE SPECIFIC THINGS THAT CONCERN GENERAL MHM. IT SEEMS LIKE, UM ALL OF YOU WERE INTERESTED IN WASTE REDUCTION AS A WHOLE HONG. I THINK FOR THE PURPOSES OF BEING US YOU KNOW, TRYING OUT THIS WORKING GROUP FOR THE FIRST TIME BEING AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE, STARTING WITH COMPOST. UM WE CAN LOOK AT BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ASPECTS OF THAT, UM, BUT REALLY STARTING JUST WITH COMPOST, AND THEN IF IT GOES WELL, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPAND, OR MAYBE SPLIT THE WORKING GROUP TO INCLUDE RECYCLING AND MAYBE INCORPORATE. UM SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT WE'VE HEARD SPEAKERS TALK ABOUT INTO THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT AS WELL. UM THIS IS LIKE STEP ONE IF WE WOULD LIKE TO OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC. UM AND HAVE INTERESTED PEOPLE PARTICIPATE. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AN OPTION. UM. AS LONG AS THERE'S JUST THREE OF YOU. THEN THERE'S A QUORUM ISSUE , AND YOU CAN FORMALLY THEN APPOINT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO SERVE ON THAT WORKING GROUP AS WELL AND WE CAN LOOP THEM IN. 
          BUT THAT WOULD NEED TO BE YOU KNOW, LIKE A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE BOARD, TOO. HAVE THOSE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC BE APPOINTED TO WORK SO AND DID WE DECIDE THAT? THAT'S A RECOMMENDATION TO THIS BOARD THAT THEN HAS TO BE APPROVED BY COUNCIL OR BECAUSE IT'S A SUBCOMMITTEE OF NONVOTING THAT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF APPROVAL OF THIS BOARD. YES OKAY. THIS POINT, MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD THE LAYERS. OKAY? DOES THAT SEEM TO IF AFTER HEARING THIS YOU'RE LIKE, ACTUALLY, I DON'T. I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT ANYMORE. UM YOU'RE WELCOME. I MEAN, IT'S HERE. IT'S COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY. SO YOU'RE ABLE TO BACK OUT NOW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE. ARE YOU A BURGER OR SOMETHING? I MEAN, IT WAS FIVE OTHER VERSIONS OF THINGS, BUT I DON'T KNOW. UM I MOVED TO ESTABLISH THIS WORKING GROUP, UM, OF THE SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD TO FOCUS ON CITIES. MUNICIPAL FOOD WASTE AS PROPOSED. REVIEW ANALYZE AND RECOMMEND STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE AND EXPENSES. MUSICAL FEUD WASTE COMPOST PROGRAM. THANK YOU CAN INCLUDE NAMES OF PEOPLE INVOLVED, AND ALSO THIS COMMITTEE WOULD INCLUDE CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS. CHARLES SCHUMACHER, PETE SORRY, THANK YOU. PEOPLE LOST MY MIND. AND LAURA GALLO GALLO. THANK YOU. 
          AND HOW OFTEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET ONE TIME A MONTH OR AS NEEDED? PERHAPS LEAVE IT AS NEEDED. ALL RIGHT. 2ND 2ND. FREE. MR SCHUMACHER? YES. MISS GALLO? YES. MR BURNS? YES, MR HAROLD? YES MOTION PASSES. WE HAVE A WORKING GROUP WHO. SO THEN, TO TIE THAT IN THIS WORKING GROUP IS TASKED WITH THE FOOD WASTE COMPLEX PROGRAMS. UM I WANTED TO KIND OF EASE INTO THE YEAR WE'LL JUST KIND OF OVER AS A BROAD SCOPE OF THINGS. UH LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT WE REALLY WANT THE WORKING GROUP TO FOCUS ON IN TERMS OF THE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ASPECTS AND THEN ALSO BRAINSTORM. UM IF WE WANT TO DO A SURVEY, WHEN DO WE WANT TO DO IT? AND WHAT INFORMATION WE WOULD LIKE TO DISTILL FROM THAT SURVEY? ALSO THIS IS A SCREEN GRAB OF TWO DAYS. UM COMPOSTING RESULTS DASHBOARD WE'VE COLLECTED 86,000 PLUS POUNDS OF FOOD WASTE SO FAR. UM, WE'RE HEADING INTO. THE THIRD YEAR WITH IT ESTABLISHED SO UM AND THEN THE PUMPKIN WEIGHT TOTAL DOES NOT INCLUDE UM THIRD YEAR. I MEAN, IT'S LIKE 22 23 20. AND THEN THE TOTAL PUMPKINS COLLECTED DOES NOT INCLUDE 2023. WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET MORE ACCURATE TOTALS FROM. FROM P, WHICH HAS BEEN CHALLENGING, BUT MY BEST ESTIMATE AT THIS POINT IS, UM, THAT WE COLLECTED 12.9 TONS OF PUMPKINS, WHICH IS ABOUT £25,000. UM WHICH IS DEFINITELY MORE THAN LAST YEAR, WHICH IS GREAT. SO WHEN THINKING ABOUT, UM COMPOST IN 2024. UM AND SETTING US UP FOR POTENTIAL 
          [00:45:12]
EXPANSION IN 25. UM WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE TO YOU? CAN I GIVE A LITTLE HEADS UP FOR NEXT WEEK? BECAUSE IT KIND OF DOVETAILS INTO THIS? WE'RE GONNA HEAR FROM A COMPANY OF NOT ONLY BASED COMPANY CULTURE PEAK ORGANICS. AND THEY'RE GOING TO PRESENT THEY BASICALLY DO A SIMILAR ROLE AS, UM GOES, HERE GOES ZERO. BUT THEY DO OFFER CURBSIDE. UM WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE COMPANY VEGAN EARTH PEAK ORGANICS. SO THEY DO. THEY DO DO PICKUPS THEY DO SERVICE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES AS WELL. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN EXPLORE. AS FAR AS RESTAURANTS OR, YOU KNOW, UM IF YOU WANT TO. MAYBE SUPPLEMENT ROLLOUTS, BUT SO THEY'RE GOING TO DO PRICING FOR BASICALLY WHAT WE CURRENTLY DO NOW GO ZERO, AND THEN I BELIEVE THEY'RE DOING THE PILOT IN UPPER ARLINGTON. I DON'T THINK THEY DO. BEXLEY. THEY DON'T DO BEST. THEY DON'T DO BETTER, BUT I THINK THEY'RE DOING THE PILOT IN ARLINGTON. BUT I GUESS. NOT REALLY IMPORTANT NOW, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE US SOME OPTIONS AND PRICING AND EVERYTHING. JUST AN UNSOLICITED. THIS IS WHAT WE OFFER. UM SO I COULD JUST GIVE US AN IDEA. GOOD FEASIBILITY OF SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS GOING FORWARD. SO THAT IS HIS NAME IS MATTHEW MAY, UM I MET WITH HIM AND THEN I THINK, DID YOU MEET WITH HIM AS WELL TOO WITH HIM, BUT JUST THE EMAIL CONVERSATIONS, OKAY? SO UM, BUT, YEAH, AT OUR NEXT MONTH'S MEETING, HELP WILL BE HERE TO PRESENT GORGEOUS CITIES. THERE THE COMPANIES BASED IN NEW ORLEANS, COOL. CASEY WHAT'S I GUESS IT'S SOMEWHAT IS RELATED TO THIS CONVERSATION AND ONLY DIGGING FOR A NAME OF SOMEBODY. 
          UM, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH. FOUNDATION WORK WITH THE COUNCIL AND TRYING TO GET ALL THESE ENTITIES WE HAVE. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN INVITATION TO FOR THAT MEETING YET. SO I THINK ONGOING. 
          YEAH. THERE'S NO REASON WE WOULD NOT DO SOMETHING AND LOVE EXPECTING SOMETHING. NO UNNECESSARY. OKAY. YEAH, UM. I WENT BACK AND LOOKED ADRIAN AND I MET WITH THEM IN APRIL OF LAST YEAR. UM AND SO THEY YEAH, I'M NOT SURE WHEN THEY DO THESE INVITES. YEAH INCLUDE US AGAIN. 
          WHY NOT? I DON'T THINK THE STUDY HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND GOT IT. SO YEAH. I MET SOMEBODY. THE FOUNDATION EVENTS THAT WAS A COMPANY THAT SUPPOSEDLY WAS BEING USED TO DO SOME OF THE CONNECTING SO CURIOUS WHAT WAS GOING ON. I'M SORRY. WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? THOUGHTS ON COMPOST GOING FORWARD. UH YOU KNOW, AFTER MY TWO CENTS AND, UM JUST IN A PARTICULAR ORDER, UM, IS THAT I PULLED THIS UP AND WAS LOOKING AT IT AND WAS GETTING EXCITED AND CELEBRATE THAT EVEN BEFORE HAVING THAT PUMPKIN NUMBER AND THE WEEK, INCLUDING PUMPKINS GOT OVER £100,000 OF WASTE OF VOLUME, WHICH IS FANTASTIC. UM AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE'LL BE HITTING 100,000 JUST PURE HOME FOOD WASTE SOON ENOUGH. UM. I WANTED TO DO A LITTLE DIGGING INTO OPPORTUNITIES TO PROMOTE LOCATION FROM OUR LOGISTIC STANDPOINT, IF MUCH OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY MAP WHICH RUNS EASTER'S, UM, INCORPORATED BUT MAINLY INDUSTRIAL, UM, BY JUST LOOKING AT MAYBE SOME OPPORTUNITIES THAT THERE'S MAYBE LARGE, UM. AREAS THAT HAVE ENOUGH CONCENTRATION THAT WOULD WARRANT HAVING ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS FOR DROP OFF. UM AND I THINK ALL THREE OF US ARE EXCITED ABOUT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOME PICK UP PILOT TO GET GOING. UM QUICK ASIDE. I REACHED OUT TO I WAS JUST DOING SOME INVESTIGATING STEP ONLINE. AND CAME ACROSS A. E P A U. S. C P, A WEBSITE THAT WAS SHOWING PEOPLE THAT HAD GRANTS FOR PROGRAMS AND ONE OF THEM WAS IN IOWA CITY. NOTHING HAS ANY SIGNIFICANCE OF. IN FACT, IT'S FAIRLY SMALL COMMUNITY THAT, UM, REACHED OUT FOR A GRANT AS THEY MANAGE THEIR OWN COMPOSTING. 
          [00:50:05]
FACILITY MUNICIPALLY AND I'M SORRY STREETS AFTER THEIR CITY MANAGER AND GOT CONNECTED WITH SOMEBODY THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW THE PROGRAM FUNCTIONS AND THE FACT THAT THEY STARTED OUT WITH THE PILOT PROGRAM AND HOW THEY'VE GROWN IT AND DIFFERENT THINGS, SO JUST ASK THE PERSON TO KIND OF TIPS AND TRIPS, INFORMATION THAT AND CONNECTED ANA, SO IT'S VERY. UP HERE AT THE MOMENT, BUT I HOPE TO KIND OF USE THEM JUST AS A RESOURCE. FOR ME. IT'S ACTUALLY A CITY. 
          IT'S DOING THAT. BAXLEY OR ARE WE TALKING UM, UH, ANYWAY. BACK TO THIS, UM THE COMMERCIAL THING I THINK IS THE BIG NUT TO CRACK. SO I WAS HOPING AS PART OF THIS GROUP TOO. AT LEAST DO SOME INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE SPECIFIC COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP SOME OF OUR LARGER CONTRIBUTORS TO ORGANIC WASTE AND A SIMILAR JUST TRYING TO TAP INTO WHAT THEY HAVE THIS CORPORATE PLANS THAT MEAN THAT MAY NOT BE TRICKLING DOWN TO WHETHER THERE UM REGIONAL MANAGED GROUPS OR WHATEVER TO SEE IF THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES, JUST ENGAGE THEIR CORPORATE PLANS. YEAH, AND I GUESS. TO PAY YOU BACK OFF THAT AND IT'S STUFFING PIE APPROACH WITH THAT NEXT WEEK, BUT YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT THE SUBCOMMITTEE WANTS TO LOOK AT THAT. LET'S JUST SAY, YOU KNOW FOR A RESTAURANT. IT'S $500 A MONTH IS THEIR SERVICE TO SAY, ALL RIGHT? WHATEVER YOU KNOW, WILL PICK UP THIS LOCATION. 500 BUCKS A MONTH. UM AND I KNOW THEIR PITCH IS WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE LESS DUMPSTER PICKUPS BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT PUTTING, YOU KNOW, 50% OF YOUR WAIST. SAY IS FOOD IF YOU'RE YOU KNOW, COMMERCIAL RESTAURANT SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE LESS PICKUPS. I'M A LITTLE BIT DUBIOUS THAT PENCILS OUT THAT YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY IF YOU KNOW IT'S IF YOU HAVE A COMMUNITY LIKE YOU'RE IN A STRIP LIKE ACROSS THE STREET AND FRESH YOU KNOW? THAT'S JUST BUILT IN. 
          THERE'S NOT GONNA BE LESS PICKUPS, SO THERE'S NOT GONNA BE A SAVINGS THERE. SO I GUESS RUN THAT WAY. DO WE WANT TO SAY? OKAY YOU KNOW, WE GO TO OUR COMMERCIAL FRIENDS AND WE'D LIKE CUTS IN 29 PARTICIPATE IN THIS DOING? SANITIZE IT AT LEAST FOR A YEAR OR, YOU KNOW, I THINK, BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF VALUE OUT OTHER THAN YOU KNOW, TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF IF YOU'RE RESTAURANTS SAY THAT'S JUST AN ADDITIONAL $500 CONSTANT MONTH. UM. BUT IF WE SUPPLEMENTED AND THEN WE CAN PROMOTE IT THROUGH THE CITY. AND SAY, OH, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GIVE YOU FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF $250 A MONTH FOR THIS PROGRAM AND THEN SEE HOW GIRLS ARE UM I GUESS THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS I THINK WE NEED IF WE REALLY WANT TO GET INTO THE COMMERCIAL SPACE. UM. THAT WILL HAVE TO EXPLORE AND COUNTRY EXACTLY MY ONLY EXPERIENCE WITH DOING THIS HAS BEEN THAT THIS BEFORE AT A SCHOOL WHERE THEY PHYSICALLY HAD TO ROLL OFFS OF TRASH, AND WE FIGURED OUT ONCE WE GOT RECYCLING WAS WORKMEN FOCUS. WE WERE ABLE TO GET DOWN TO ONE MORE TRASH, WHICH WAS INFINITELY LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE RECYCLING THE CUSTOMER RECYCLING . SO IT WAS. THERE WAS A TRADE OFF AND THERE WAS A DOLLAR. YEAH BENEFIT TO THE TO THE SCHOOLS. 
          DID YOU LIKE SO, YEAH, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND. YEAH YOU KNOW, WITH OUR OTHER CONCEPTS, WE DO WHAT TRASHING OR CARDBOARD AND THAT YOU KNOW, HAS SIGNIFICANT EVEN PENCIL THAT BECAUSE YEAH, IT'S PAR. CHEAPER YOU'RE RESPECTING THAT, AND NOW WE DO HAVE LESS PICKUPS THAN THAT ONE. BUT THE FOOD WASTE, I THINK OF YOU HARDER TO QUANTIFY AND UM BUT LIKE I SAID, SOMETHING TO EXPLORE, AND I THINK IT'S I THINK MATT WILL HAVE SOME INSIGHTS NEXT WEEK AND SOME IDEAS WE CAN TO ROLL THAT OUT. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I HEARD THIS COMPANY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I GUESS IN MY MIND, I WAS THINKING I DON'T KNOW. WE WOULD BE STILL WORKING WITH GOOD ZERO AND MAYBE BE CONSIDERING, UH, DROP OFF. YOU KNOW, LOCATION ON MARKET STREET OR SOMETHING, BUT IF WE COULD HAVE A PICK UP, I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE THAT PART EASIER FOR THE RESTAURANT. I AGREE, AND I THINK YOU HAVE TO START WITH THE ECONOMICS OF IT. AND, UM I? I'VE HEARD THE ARGUMENT ALSO THAT YOU KNOW YOU'RE REDUCING YOUR TRASH, BUT I DON'T THINK THE ECONOMICS WORKS RELATING YOUR FAVORITE LIKE YOU'RE SAYING SO. I THINK BEFORE WE WOULD REACH OUT TO COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENT WE REALLY WANT TO THROTTLE THAT THROUGH AND REALLY BE ABLE TO SHOW THEM. WHY IS THIS GOOD FOR YOU? AND GOOD FOR THE CITY? AND WHAT CAN YEAH, ALL THE THINGS YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT HOW CAN WE PROMOTE THEM? AND HOW CAN WE MAKE THAT? UH AD FOR THEM? SO, YEAH, I THINK IT'S GOOD. REGARDING THIS SURVEY. WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT RELATED TO THE 
          [00:55:03]
ROLLOUT OF THE GO ZERO CANS. UM SO WE WANT TO PITCH THAT BACK OVER TO THIS GROUP ARE STILL MANAGE IT AS UH, AH! ASSESSMENT OF THE CURRENT PROGRAM. WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT DO I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SAY OR DO? I WAS HOPING THERE IS ALREADY BEING WORKS. BUT YEAH, WE CAN CERTAINLY TAKE IT ON. BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE CRAFTED AND JUST PUT TO IT. ONE WITH STEP WE CAN DO THAT. YEAH, YEAH. YEAH, I GUESS I'M JUST CURIOUS LIKE. OVERALL LIKE WE CAN START DOING SOME RESEARCH. UM I CAN START DOING SOME RESEARCH ON. UM LIKE WHAT? DRAFTING SAMPLE QUESTIONS. I'M JUST CURIOUS LIKE WHAT YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF IT, UM YEAH. I MEAN, ORIGINALLY WHEN WE BROUGHT IT UP, UM, A WHILE BACK. IT WAS ABOUT THREE AND 31. REGISTERED USERS, SO REACHING OUT TO THOSE 331 AND JUST ASKING LIKE, WHAT'S THE REGULARITY? WHAT ARE SOME ISSUES? YOU KNOW YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS. YES, I KNOW WHAT WAS THEIR NORMAL FOLLOW UP ON WHAT YOU'RE USING IT FOR. BUT PART OF MY CONCERN WAS WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY EXCITED. MORE PEOPLE ON THE GATES. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL ACTUALLY UTILIZE AGAIN ? UM AND JUST BECAUSE I THINK IT'D BE GOOD FOR US TO UNDERSTAND WHEN WE GO TO DO A PUSH IN THE FUTURE. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT US SOME AMOUNT OF DROP OFF, ETCETERA. IT ALSO HAPPENED WILL HELP FIGURE OUT IF WE WANT TO ADD LOCATIONS. WHAT CAN WE MAYBE EXPECT FROM WE GET 50 PEOPLE TELLING US THEY WANT TO DO IT? IS THAT REALLY 20 PEOPLE UTILIZING IT. SO WHEN I OVER BUILDING THINGS NECESSARILY. OTHERS BUT NO JUMPING ON THIS. 
          NO I THINK IT MAKES SENSE AT THIS POINT TO REACH OUT. YOU KNOW, FOLLOW UP AND SEE HOW IT'S BEING USED AND WHAT WE CAN DO BETTER. I CAN PROBABLY AGREE. AND THAT'S SOMETHING LIKE WE THINK ABOUT. SOME OF THE THINGS WE. THIS IS THIS EXPANSION IS MORE TARGETED TOWARDS THE RESEARCH AND BACK WORK. DONE THIS YEAR FOR BUDGETING ITEMS FOR 2025. BUT A SURVEY TO CURRENT USERS OF THE PROGRAM COULD HELP INFORM HELP. CAN WE IMPROVE IT THIS YEAR? WHAT MIGHT GET SOME PEOPLE. UM, YOU KNOW, ENGAGED WITH THE PROGRAM. BEFORE WE EVEN TAKE IT TO THAT NEXT STEP, SO. SO DO THE THREE OF YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR FIRST MEETING IN TWO WEEKS. DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU? I CAN EMAIL YOU JUST MAKE SURE. YOU BROKE INTO JOBS. MHM 24TH. YEAH, FOR ME. IT WORKS FOR ME. COOL. AND IN IT THAT IS THAT A PUBLIC MEETING? NO THAT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE, RIGHT? SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME HERE, RIGHT? IT COULD BE IT NICER. YEAH, YOUR HOUSE. MHM STARBUCKS. JUST NOT START MUCH MORE STREET. YEAH. CORRECT WE JUST HAVE A GOOD SCHOOL AT THE END OF THE DAY. WE CAN'T WHICH WE SAID BAD THIS SIX PM COULD WE CHANGE THE TIME? I MEAN, IF IT'S YEAH, I MEAN, I'LL JUST BE US SO YEAH, THAT JUST GET SOME BECAUSE AND HAS TO DO THAT. OKAY I GUESS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THERE. BUT YOU COULD DO FOR 35 BIRDS AND TUTORING TO 415. WHY NOT? WHY DON'T YOU GUYS CHECK. WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT TO SEND THE EMAIL? FOLLOW? OKAY BUT YEAH, THAT ONE IS MORE FLEXIBLE. SO YEAH, THAT SOUNDS GOOD. YEAH. SO THAT'S IT FOR ITEMS OF 
          [VII. Other Business]
BUSINESS. UM OTHER BUSINESS, UH, ON THE AGENDA WAS OUR ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING, WHICH HAD BEEN IN MARCH LAST YEAR, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT GETTING INTO JANUARY. UM I SUGGEST SINCE WE'RE MISSING TWO MEMBERS IN THE NOTES OF QUORUM TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE A WHAT? FOUR DAYS. YEAH. 
          UNLESS YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY DISCUSSED. CHAIRMAN AND ANY OF THAT OH, CORRECTNESS. YEAH I 
          [01:00:01]
THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO ANYBODY. I THINK WE HAVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. UM I DON'T THINK I CODE HAS CHANGED TO ALLOW US TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE WITH WHEN THE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING HAPPENS. 
          UM SO I THINK WE'LL BE FINE JUST HAS TO HAPPEN BY MARCH. I THINK IT'S RECOMMENDED TO DO IT. SO. 
          GREAT STAND UP. VACUUM UP. THERE'S YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING HOME RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA FIGURE OUT WHO'S THE CHAIRMAN, ROCHAMBEAU ARM WRESTLING OR NOT? THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT 
          [VIII. Poll Members for Comment]
IMPORTANT. UM DOING THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR ANYTHING ELSE THEY'D LIKE TO DISCUSS. NO. NO ONE ELSE'S IDEA OF A QUICK ONE, WHICH I CAN CERTAINLY EMAILED TO YOU AS WELL TO GET ABOUT, BUT, UM IN MY POPPING THROUGH WEBSITES AND THINGS, UM, I FOUND UH WEBSITE THAT HAS A NUMBER OF. CONNECTIONS TO DIFFERENT KIND OF CLASSES OF INDUSTRY ARTICLES AND IT'S YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR. IT'S CALLED INDUSTRY DIVE DOT COM AND I'VE BEEN USING IT FOR BUSINESS THINGS BEFORE BECAUSE IT HAS A RETAIL GROCERY, WHATEVER ELSE BUT I WAS POKING AROUND THE WEBSITE AND THERE IS A SUSTAINABILITY. UM, SECTION, WHICH HAS E S G. SO IT'S CALLED DSG DIET AND UTILITY DIVE AND SUSTAINABILITY DIET. UM SO IT'S NOT GOING TO GET IN DEPTH. DATA FROM THEM, BUT THEY WERE INTERESTING THAT YOU JUST GET FED INTO YOUR EMAIL. YOU KNOW 5 TO 6 ARTICLES AT A TIME AND YOU CAN ESTABLISH THE WANTED DAILY WEEKLY MONTHLY WHATEVER. BUT IT WAS JUST INTERESTING BECAUSE IT'S A COUPLE THINGS THAT POPPED UP LIKE AWAY ABOUT THAT, AND THAT'S ACTUALLY WHERE I GOT THIS IOWA CITY INFORMATION IS TO GO DO SOME MORE DIGGING. SO RATHER THAN JUST SITTING DOING GOOGLE SEARCHES ALL THE TIMES IT WAS NICE TO POP UP SO I CAN GIVE IT TO, YOU KNOW, IN ORDER OUT THE FOX. GREAT. QUICK QUESTION. UM IN NOVEMBER. WE HAD THE MEETING AROUND THE TABLES. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT? IT WAS KIND OF CRAMPED FOR THE MEETING THAT WE HAD, UM DO YOU WANT TO ATTEMPT THAT FOR ANY FUTURE MEETINGS IN 2024 UNTIL NEXT MONTH TO GET FEEDBACK FROM CAN WE SEE WHAT AGENDA ITEMS WE HAVE? THAT MIGHT WORK FOR THAT? I THOUGHT WE HAD TOO MANY VISITORS THAT NIGHT, AND IT WAS JUST AWKWARD WITH THEM BEING LIKE ALONG THE BACK WALL AND TRYING TO SEE WHO WAS TALKING. UM SO MAYBE IF WE COULD FIND OUT OR JUST DECIDE ON A MHM NO MONTHLY BASIS IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE NEEDED TO BE LIKE THIS, OR JUST SMALLER GROUP . IT WAS MAYBE LESS FORMAL, WHICH IS KIND OF NICE, BUT YEAH, I AGREE WITH YOU. THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER BUSINESS AND STUFF. MAYBE IT'S TOO COMPLICATED. COOL. THAT'S IT FOR ME. DO YOU WANT TO JUST LIKE A LOT OF THAT ONTO THE EMAIL THAT YOU SEND OUT? EACH MONTH. SAYING. HERE'S THE AGENDA MINUTES AND OKAY. I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY NEVER MIND. LET'S DO THAT. 
          OVERCOMPLICATED. THANKS ANYTHING ELSE? SORRY. WE'RE WAITING FOR ME. OH I'M THAT PERSON MOVED TO IT DURING THE MEETING AT 739 A SECOND. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR.
