A
Welcome
to
Aegon
this
week,
I'm
in
real
angst
in'
today
we're
being
joined
by
members
of
the
environmental
and
energy
committee
for
the
city
of
Aegon
that
we're
so
happy
to
have
with
us,
Miss,
Mary,
Anne
Archibald
and
mr.
rhondella
Mora.
Who
will
be
talking
about
some
of
the
wonderful
things
that
the
committee
has
going
on
all
the
time
and
throughout
the
year,
and
so
we're
going
to
jump
right
in
and
to
get
started.
A
B
My
husband
and
I
are
from
Detroit
Michigan
and
we
moved
to
aiken
when
we
got
tired
of
snow
said.
This
would
be
a
better
idea.
We
moved
here
in
2001
and
after
we're
here
for
fewer
years
and
got
settled
and
enjoying
being
in
aiken.
We
were
looking
for
a
way
to
give
back
to
the
community,
and
this
opportunity
came
up
on
the
energy
and
environmental
committee,
and
it
has
just
been
a
blast.
It's
been
very,
very
fun
and
I'm
glad
that
I'm,
a
part
of
such
a
terrific
group,
I.
A
Know
that
you
have
had
a
true
heart
being
on
this
committee
and
a
lot
of
energy,
which
I
think
is
very
appropriate
and
doing
what
you
do
just
a
world
win
of
energy
to
be
on
the
committee.
Thank
you
Ron.
What
about
you
well.
C
C
Each
of
these
activities
gives
me
an
opportunity,
in
some
small
way,
to
contribute
back
to
the
community
how
I
got
engaged
in
the
committee.
Maybe
six
years
ago,
I
was
recruited
by
at
the
time
councilman
dick
smith,
and
he
said,
are
you
interested
and
I
said
interested
in
what
and
he
kind
of
describes
some
things
and
the
long
and
short
of
it
was
is
he
said
we
have
an
opening
in
parks
and
rec
and
in
the
what
was
called
then
the
environmental
committee
and
I
said
well.
C
B
C
A
C
A
We're
very
glad
to
have
two
retired,
but
not
tired,
with
to
be
involved
with
this
committee,
because
it
is
very
important-
and
you
know
when
we
look
at
energy
and
conservation
issues
in
these
types
of
concerns.
As
a
city
we're
looking
at
a
more
and
more
and
run,
can
you
tell
us
what
the
role
of
the
committee
really
is?
Well.
C
I'll
go
through
it
a
couple
ways
one
you
may
be
familiar
with
this
booklet,
that's
put
up
by
the
city
each
year,
and
and
basically
it
defines
the
role
of
boards
and
commissions
and
committees
and
so
forth.
You
know,
what's
the
chair
supposed
to
do?
What's
the
obligation
of
staff,
that
kind
of
thing
and
what
it
basically
says
about
committees
is
that
any
committee
is
supposed
to
be
supportive
of
city
policy.
C
If
we
are
assigned
a
task
by
council,
we're
supposed
to
look
at
that
aggressively
and
positively
and
objectively
and
make
a
recommendation
and
then
finally,
committees
are
to
serve
as
a
conduit,
that
is
to
represent
citizens
views
to
to
Council.
So
that's
what
it
says
in
the
booklet
and
those
are
all
laudable
objectives
and
needs,
and
we
certainly
support
them.
In
the
case
of
our
committee,
we
we've
taken
it
a
step
further.
C
What
I've,
just
described
a
second
ago
to
us
is
largely
reactive
and
passive
and
what
our
goal
is
is
to
be
proactive
and
find
needs
and
opportunities
and
take
initiatives
and
action,
steps
per
centum
to
the
council
and
try
to
help
the
city
move
forward
with
that
particular
activity.
So
so
it's
a
you
know
it's
what
the
book
says,
plus
so.
A
The
book
is
kind
of
a
guideline
that
gives
all
committees
a
good
path
forward
and
where
to
start,
but
the
idea
being
proactive
in
innovative
I
think
is,
if
it's
perfectly
with
your
personalities
and
on
this
committee,
would
think
so.
Let's
talk
about
the
function
of
the
liaison
to
the
city,
and
can
you
talk
about
that
working
relationship?
Ok,.
C
A
C
In
keeping
with
Aikens
tomorrow
green
city
theme,
the
committee
will
encourage
and
foster
energy
conservation,
responsible,
energy
use
and
renewable
energy
initiatives.
We
will
promote
environmental
stewardship
by
raising
awareness
of
environmentally
friendly
practices
and
assure
environmental
sustainability
and
a
financially
responsible
manner.
So
you
can
read
this
at
your
leisure.
You
know
on
the
city
website,
you
know,
but
that's
kind
of
the
overriding
mission
or
role
of
the
group.
C
Man,
your
mayor,
but
our
working
relationship
or
functional
relationship
in
our
cases
with
public
services
and
public
services,
essentially
is
responsible
for
collecting
garbage
recycling,
picking
up
yard
waste,
that
sort
of
thing
and
it's
a
natural
bridge
to
an
environmental
committee
which
is
green
and
recycling
and
litter,
and
these
kind
of
things
so
so
the
the
tie-in
is
I,
think
you
know
obviously
an
immediate
the
people.
We
work
with
our
Sarah
herring,
who
is
the
supervisor
and
and
her
direct
supervisor
tim
Coakley,
and
they
are
regularly
involved
in
the
committee.
C
The
working
relationship
we
have
is
one
based
on
mutual
trust,
mutual
confidence,
mutual
support,
it's
kind
of
a
two-way
street.
They
those
people
might
occasionally
come
to
us
and
say
gee
whiz.
The
city
wants
to,
for
example,
I'll,
have
a
collection
program
for
needles,
discarded
needles
and
or
for
how
do
we
dispose
of
pill,
bottles
and.
A
C
C
I
should
say
two
things
about
that.
Actually,
you
know
what
we
try
to
do
is
be
respectful
over
their
time.
They
are
employees,
they
have
a
job
to
do
and
what
might
be
a
you
know
a
high-energy
thing
for
us,
as
a
committee,
you
know
for
them,
you
know
is
second
place
to
their
responsibilities,
so
we
have
to
be
sensitive
to
their
time,
needs
and
priorities
and
interact
on
that
basis.
A
B
We
are
each
appointed
by
member
of
council
and
the
mayor,
although
I
guess
he's
a
member
of
council
also
for
a
two-year
term
and
they're
staggered,
so
we
don't
have
a
whole
brand-new
committee.
Every
couple
of
years
we
just
had
one
of
our
committee.
Members
was
just
reappointed.
This
past
Monday
night
for
the
next
two
years
and.
B
B
A
C
But
Mary
Ann
serves
as
our
secretary
and
our
historian,
you've
implied
a
couple
times
that
our
interaction
as
a
committee
is
pretty
active
in
intense,
interesting,
certainly
and
Mary.
Ann
is
the
person
who
keeps
these
moving
pieces
glued
together
and
she
didn't
say
it
earlier,
but
her
background
is
as
a
schoolteacher
and
occasionally
shield
resort
to
some
of
those
techniques
of
getting
out
the
ruler
and
wrapping
our.
C
C
Our
next
I'll
do
these
alphabetically
is
norm
done
again.
He
is
you're
familiar
with
that
name.
The
owner
of
dumpster
depot
he's
a
contractual
supplier
to
the
city
for
recycling
within
our
committee
does
two
things:
we
have
recycled
initiatives
and
interest
different
from
what
he
does
and
he
can
bring
some
insight
to
us
about
how
to
do
it
and
he's
a
he's,
a
marketing
wizard.
So
as
we
try
to
brand
ourselves
as
a
committee
or
more
importantly
like
for
Earth
Day,
his
marketing
insight
is
is
very
useful
to
us
as
things
that
we
might
consider.
C
Dave
foul
is
retired
from
the
Savannah
River
Site
PhD
in
chemical
engineering.
He
has
a
lot
of
contacts
at
the
site
which
help
us
out
in
many
ways
with
speakers
and
Earth
Day,
and
things
like
that.
His
current
focus
is
on
solar,
he's,
attended
a
seminar
here
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
is
engaging
people
to
be
in
our
next
earth
day.
So
he
is
our
solar
expert
and
that's
something
of
strategic
value
to
the
city.
Andy
helen.
Is
he
and
his
wife
Traci
are
new
to
the
area,
maybe
two
years
relocated
for
Panama.
C
He
was
with
Procter
&
Gamble
for
25
years
supply
chain
management
when
they
were
in
Panama.
Both
of
them
belonged
to
a
nonprofit
organization
that
was
stressing
environmental
awareness
and
Andy's
particular
passion
is.
He
would
like
to
see
a
can
go
to
zero
waste
management
system
who's
next,
in
order
hero,
newbern
Bob,
New
Bern
can't
ever
forget.
Bob,
okay,
mr.
clean
clean.
A
C
I've
known
for
four
or
five
years,
this
is
a
man.
Who's
got
a
passion,
okay
about
litter.
The
problems
that
it's
created
for
the
city,
the
cost
has
created
to
the
city,
certainly
believes
and
sees
that
if
we're
able
to
address
this
little
problem
and
has
economic
benefits
both
in
a
cost
standpoint
and
attracting
industry
standpoint,
so
he's
our
champion
for
that
and
then
our
final.
A
C
On
the
committee
is
Frank
rights
and
he
has
an
undefined
role
and
to
me
it's
it's
really
interesting.
That
is.
We
have
all
this
dynamic
interaction
within
the
committee.
All
of
a
sudden,
it's
like
the
Star
Wars
movie,
I
can't
remember
the
character's
name,
but
the
wise
guy.
You
know
he
he
Frank
kind
of
comes
up
very
calmly
and
has
gee
whiz.
Let's
bring
some
focus
to
this.
You
know
empathetic
empathetic,.
A
And
you
have
it's
important
to
have
those
balances,
the
schoolteacher,
the
calm,
wise
guy,
with
all
your
personalities,
well,
I
think
we've
kind
of
touched
on
this
run,
but,
as
a
committee
I
know
that
you
hear
and
you
get
feedback
from
from
a
number
of
folks
and
you
work
very
closely
with
public
services
as
far
as
your
direction,
can
you
can
you?
Can
you
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
because
I
know
with
with
the
ideas
that
your
committee
has
and
then
that
the
ideas
that
public
services
brings
forth
to
to
your
committee?
C
Our
our
direction
again
is
from
Council,
and
specifically
I
can
give
you
a
couple
examples:
lessee
price
on
three
occasions
that
come
to
mind
immediately
she's
engaged
in
environmental
groups,
both
statewide
and
federally,
and
so
should
become
aware
of
initiatives,
and
I
were
specifically
grants
and
she'll
say
gee
whiz.
Does
the
committee
know
about
this
and
frank
right?
The
guy
just
referred
to
a
second
ago.
C
B
A
B
Then
we
come
back
the
next
meeting
and
look
at
that
list
again
and
narrow
it
down
to
more
manageable
a
number
of
things
that
we
can
do,
there's
only
so
much
you
can
handle
it.
You
know
in
one
year,
so
we
have
to
prioritize
and
and
make
it
to
a
number
that
we
can
handle,
and
then
we
work
pretty
well
on
the
wording
of
them
to.
We
want
to
be
real,
specific
and
know
exactly
what
we're
doing.
B
B
A
B
For
2016,
we
have
six
objectives
that
we've
narrowed
it
down
to
the
first
one
is
to
expand
our
Earth
Day
event.
We
had
the
first
one
last
year
and
we
were
fortunate.
We
had
40
exhibitors
come
for
the
very
first
time
to
have
such
an
event.
We
thought
that
was
wonderful
and
they
were
all
terrific.
We
had
150
people
running
our
people
chase
marathon
and
so
we're
hoping
to
increase
those
two
numbers.
B
This
year
ron
has
set
a
goal
of
50
exhibitors,
so
where
our
committee
members
are
out
there
looking
for
people
who
have
interesting
things
to
educate
the
citizens
of
akin
about
the
earth
and
the
environment
and
our
resources
and
all
of
those
kind
of
things,
so
we're
hoping
to
expand
that
that's
one
of
our
goals
for
this
year
also
we'd
like
to
increase
and
improve
litter
reduction
efforts.
The
county
has
developed
a
litter,
Task
Force,
and
so
we're
working
hand-in-hand
with
them
and
trying
to
work
on
this
litter.
A
B
Aiken
County
we're
also
working
on
expanding
opportunities
for
citizens
to
improve
the
energy
efficiency
in
their
own
home
was
like
Ron,
said.
Lessee
price
had
come
to
us
with
some
ideas
of
grant
opportunities,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
out
looking
for
those
ourselves
and
hopefully
provide
the
information
to
our
citizens
so
that
they
can
avail
themselves
of
these
kind
of
grants
and
opportunities.
B
We
want
to
increase
the
recycling
program.
If
you
talk
to
Sara
herring
for
about
five
and
a
half
minutes,
she'll
talk
to
you
about
how
wonderful
recycling
is
and
how
necessary
and-
and
we
can
do
better
with
recycling,
so
we're
trying
to
work
on
that
this
year
and
see
if
we
can
come
up
with
ways
to
just
increase
the
number
of
the
citizens
of
Aiken
who
are
taking
advantage
of
the
wonderful
free,
curbside
recycling
program
that
we
have
years
ago.
B
B
We
also
want
to
improve
communications
to
the
citizens,
about
the
reuse,
recycle,
reduce
concept
and
mostly
our
communication
of
the
kinds
of
things
that
we're
doing
in
the
efforts
that
Sarah
and
her
staff
are
putting
out,
want
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
citizens
know
about
that.
So
we're
going
to
be
looking
next
year
for
better
ways
to
communicate
those
concepts
to
our
citizens
and,
last
of
all,
we're
going
to
be
looking
for
possible
cost
structure
changes.
B
A
lot
of
our
citizens
are
concerned
with
the
recent
increase
in
taxes
that
they're
running
into
when
they
go
out
for
the
evening
and
those
kind
of
things.
So
maybe
there's
some
way
we
can
work
in
the
garbage
collection
and
recycling
area
to
reduce
those
costs
for
our
citizens.
So
that
seemed
like
a
natural
thing
for
our
committee
to
look
into
in
2060
sure.
A
C
That
has
been
very
well
received
and
we
already
know
the
momentum
for
2016
is
well
in
place
and
I'll
take
this
opportunity
to
say
mark
your
calendars
for
April
23rd
from
9am
to
3pm
over
here
on
newbury
street
festival
center.
We
have
a
space
for
you
so
be
sure
to
attend
that
it's
a
wonderful
festive
experience,
but
it's
as
Marianne
said
it's
a
learning,
experience
and
education
awareness
responsibility.
C
That
kind
of
thing
is
the
theme,
so
some
of
the
successes,
I
guess
what
I
would
say
is
is
the
very
first
one
goes
back,
maybe
about
two
two
and
a
half
years
ago,
and
we
call
it.
The
lighting
project
and
public
services
office
is
on
the
north
side
in
on
dupont
avenue
and
we
were
meeting
there
and
we're
kind
of
looking
at
the
place
and
kind
of
it
kind
of
came
up
kind
of
casually.
How
come
what's
wrong
with
the
lights?
Where
are
they
blah
blah
blah
stuff
like
this?
C
And
as
we
started
talking
about
it,
we
said
just
maybe
we
ought
to
make
dupont
a
project,
so
we
brought
some
consultants
in
to
say.
Please
look
at
the
pond.
How
can
we
make
humpty
dumpty
better?
You
know
kind
of
thing,
and
so
for
a
mere
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars,
as
they
shared
with
us,
that
they
could
replace
a
couple
light
bulbs
and
do
some
things
like
that.
So
so
they
made
effective
enough
presentation
that
we
learned
about
electricity
and
cost
savings
and
things
like
that,
but
the
price
was
prohibitive.
C
So
then
you
know
we
took
it
internal.
We
went
to
counsel
at
the
horizons
meeting
and
they
came
up
with
twenty
thousand
dollars
that
was
authorized
to
public
services
to
look
at
their
systems,
so
it
took
about
maybe
like
18
months,
and
it
was
mostly
sweat,
equity
labor
by
the
public
services
group.
You
know,
but
we
bought
some
stuff.
We
meaning
the
public
services
in
this
case
spots
and
stuff,
use
their
manpower
and
some
significantly
upgraded
the
lighting
systems
at
the
public
services
building
and
improve
safety
outdoors,
which
was
a
key
issue.
C
C
The
city
has
a
lot
of
land
that
is,
is
underutilized
not
utilized
at
all
and
just
in
general
conversation
within
the
meeting.
You
know
that
topic
came
up
and
we
said
well,
can
we
use
some,
so
our
thought
became.
Why
don't
we
have
a
community
garden
of
some
sort,
so
Tim
Coakley
at
the
time
identified
where
the
plots
might
be
and
so
forth
and
the
long
story
or
it
is,
is
that
the
site
of
governor
aiken
park
is
what
we
select
it.
C
So
this
is
our
eid
and
a
committee
right
which
has
nothing
to
do
with
Governor
you
can
park,
so
we
go
meet
with
their
board
to
say,
gee
whiz.
Does
it
make
sense?
Would
you
be
interested
in
and
having
a
community
garden
here
in
your
area,
and
so
there
is,
I
once
called
it
tension,
but
there's
some
interaction
about
both
who's
going
to
pay
forward
who's
going
to
do
it
who's
going
to
maintain
it.
C
You
know
our
my
vegetable
is
going
to
get
ripped
off
a
lot
of
questions
like
that,
and
we
saw
some
of
the
questions
we
can
answer
some
other
ones
we
can,
but
but
we
engaged
with
with
their
board
with
the
city
public
services,
and
we
got
some
donations.
We
got
some
labor
from
USC
Aiken
and
came
out
created
a
garden
plot.
They,
the
citizens,
you
know
local,
to
govern
aiken
park,
you
know,
planted
the
seeds,
argued
over,
hey,
don't
get
in
my
territory
here.
C
C
So
you
know
so
that
was
good,
and
then
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
litter
and
in
Bob
new
marina
new
bern
again,
I
said
as
a
strong
advocate
of
litter,
but
we
have
a
collective
interest
in
it,
and
so
maybe
I'm
going
to
say
a
year
ago,
or
so
we
got
this
hot
line,
litter
litter
hotline.
You
know
posted
in
a
couple
places,
including
in
the
water
bill.
When
calls
come
in
now
to
public
services,
we
monitor
how
many
calls
we
get.
What
area
did
they
come
from?
C
You
know:
has
public
services
followed
up
to
go
clean
up
the
litter?
If
that's
what's
called
for
that
particular
thing,
and
now
we
have
what
will
be
january,
be
the
third
consecutive
article
within
the
water
bill
and
we're
just
trying
to
pitch
remind
aware
responsibilities
pertaining
to
to
litter.
You
know
that
for
people
to
read
each
month,
Mary
Ann
mentioned
before
that
we're
interacting
with
with
the
Aiken
County
litter
task
force
and
observation
was
there's
no
consent,
there's
no
sense
for
both
of
us
to
reinvent
the
wheel.
C
You
know
so
maybe
you
have
a
good
idea.
We
have
a
good
idea,
collect.
We
have
better
ideas,
yes,
we're
trying
to
work
with
them,
and
so
so
part
of
this.
The
statement
in
the
and
the
water
bill
will
refer
to
both
the
county
in
the
city.
You
know
so
some
synergism
there,
so
those
are
three
that
come
to
mind
quickly.
A
B
A
C
C
You
know
this
is
a
high-profile
group
that
that
interacts
well
and
there
are
no
wallflowers
and
we
debate
things
vigorously.
You
know,
but
professionally
and
respectfully
you
know
and
reach
a
conclusion.
You
know
as
a
group,
if
I
picked
one
word
to
describe
them
as
they
all
care
they
care
about
what
is
happening
in
the
city
and
what
kind
of
contribution
they
we
collectively
can
make
and
that's
a
dynamic,
that's
priceless.
You
know
from
my
perspective
and
I
think
the
other
thing
in
Marianne
talked
about
it.
She
mentioned
these
objectives.
I.
C
Think
committees
are
obvious
at
risk
about
doing
a
lot
of
conversation
and
leaving
in
meeting
the
next
time
and
we've
established
objectives
in
part
so
that
we
have
focus,
but
a
lot
of
these
are
quantified
to
have
metrics
towards
them,
and
when
we
chat
about
them,
we
don't
say
we
want
to
improve
litter
will
say
we
specifically
want
it.
For
example,
a
goal
is
recycling
rate
of
50
%,
it's
currently
twenty-six
percent.
C
So
you
know,
as
we
move
to
thirty
percent
I
guess
we'd
say
well,
we
didn't
hit
our
goal
of
50,
but
we
sure
are
926
anymore.
You
know
so
so
we
measure
our
progress
and
we
have
focal
points
to
come
back
to
so
having
objectives
and
having
a
team
prepared
to
work
towards
of
the
objectives
is
what
makes
us
we
use.
The
word
successful
but
I'd
like
to
use
the
word
meaningful
and
you
know,
and
that's
how
we
look
at
it.
I.
A
A
It
is
it's
an
invaluable
trait
to
have
on
your
committee
and
we're
so
excited
about
the
upcoming
events
that
we
have
to
look
forward
to
and
the
initiatives
that
will
carry
forward,
and
we
just
can't
thank
you
enough
for
your
volunteerism
and
we
are
the
fortunate
ones,
the
city
citizens,
to
have
folks
who
do
care
so
much
about
the
energy
and
environmental
concerns
that
are
facing
our
city.
Is
there
anything
else
that
that
we
haven't
talked
about
today
that
either
one
of
you
would
like
to
share
I,
can't
think
of
anything
I.
