Well,
I'll
go
ahead
and
call
roll
Matt
here,
Caitlin
here
other
Matt,
not
here
David,
here
Angela.
A
Are
they
on
Sean
Hannah?
Can
you
hear
us?
Yes,
sorry
I
was
having
some
technical
difficulties.
Okay,
so
I
apologize,
that's
okay,
I
went
ahead
and
did
it.
So
if
you
can
just
continue
to
take
notes
from
here,
I'll
I'll
shoot
you,
the
girl,
okay,
okay,
today's
called
okay,
najla.
A
Okay,
today's
agenda
was
distributed
by
email
today,
June
13th.
Are
there
any
objections
to
adopting
the
agenda
as
just
distributed.
A
Hearing
none
the
agenda
is
adopted
or
approved.
Approval
of
minutes
minutes
were
distributed
on
Friday
June.
A
Whatever
day
that
was.
Are
there
any
corrections.
A
Okay,
do
I
hear
a
motion
to
approve.
D
B
E
The
first
I
wanted
to
apologize,
because
I
haven't
been
tracking
the
meetings
as
closely
as
normal,
so
I'm
not
sure,
what's
already
been
exchanged
and
informed,
but
just
to
touch
base
to
let
everyone
know
yes,
Joseph
winia,
proprietor
of
one
sustainable
Joe,
which
is
the
the
first
remark
that
I
wanted
to
make
was
I
presume
this
already
came
up,
but
there
is
a
new
Collective
composting
program
underway
right
now
that
was
just
approved
about
a
month
ago,
it's
called
back
to
Earth
it's
being
administered
by
one
sustainable
Joe.
E
That
is
my
operation,
so
it
is
jointly
funded
through
the
city
and
the
Solid
Waste
Management
District,
and
it
is
a
pilot
program
for
up
to
six
sites
in
Monroe
County.
So
it
will
probably
be
another
month
or
two
before
Outreach
takes
place
to
I
guess
get
those
sites
engaged,
but
the
process
is
underway
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
either,
if
you
want
to
add
it
as
a
business
item
or
after
the
meeting
informally.
E
So
there
was
that
the
other
is
that
I
recently
met
with
Derek
Carpenter,
who
is
the
diversion
Specialist
of
Rumpke
recycling?
So
just
another
thing
that
I
don't
know
if
it's
been
covered
or
not,
but
Rumpke
has
opened
a
new
waste
transfer
station
in
the
city
of
Bloomington,
so
they
are
a
new
provider
in
addition
to
Republic.
E
E
He
would
be
willing
to
speak
to
the
commission
he's
in
the
area
on
a
about
a
bi-weekly
basis
for
business
purposes
and
said
that
if
there
was
interest
he
would
be
able
to
to
take
some
time
to
present
more
field
questions
and
then,
lastly,
just
wanted
to
note-
you
probably
already
saw
it
coming
in,
but
next
door
is
the
college
Walnut
Corridor
study
that
we
were
all
invited
to
go
to
by
the
by
Beth
Rosenberger
the
assistant
director
of
the
planning
department.
So
if.
A
Perfect,
thank
you,
Joe.
Okay,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
report
from
acting
chair.
It's
me
so
I
had
asked
the
working
groups
to
put
together
2023
year
end
goals.
A
The
only
current
working
groups
are
waste
management
and
then
the
just
transition,
so
nature
did
and
Caitlyn
did.
You
guys
have
a
chance
to
put
some
together.
F
I
was
not
because
I
prison,
so
I
did
not
see
that
information,
but
we
have
had
multiple
project
coming
works.
That
I
can
speak
to
and.
A
A
A
A
B
G
Yesterday
that
there's
going
to
be
a
new
mayoral
appointment,
Denise
sparra
and
we
still
have
one
my
previous
vacancy
as
a
common
Council
appointment,
that's
available.
If
anybody
knows
if
anyone
that
would
be
interested
are
applications
are
on
our
website,
so
I
have
an
intern,
that's
helping
to
work
on
the
because
neighborhood
grant
program,
we're
hoping
to
have
that,
hopefully
up
and
running
by
August,
and
then
also
working
on
the
B
cost
member
grant
program
as
well.
G
That's
about
it
and
just
to
let
everybody
know
that
we
were
able
to
submit
a
charging
and
fueling
infrastructure
Grant.
Last
night
we
got
it
in
by
6
30.
It
was
due
by
midnight
and
hopefully
we
get
it
it's
to
install
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
all
over
the
city.
So
keep
your
fingers
crossed
that
we
will
be
awarded
that
Grant.
H
C
It
comes
from
Eastern
Conference
Masters
in
public
administration.
G
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Sean
shall
I
just
read
what
Matt
sent
us?
Okay,
so
moving
on
to
staff
or
report
from
Council
Matt
couldn't
be
here
so
I'll
just
read
his
email,
oh
goodness,
okay,
the
council
is
currently
considering
increases
to
the
city's
sanitation
rates.
A
Another
option
to
consider
longer
term
would
be
to
expanding
city
of
Bloomington
sanitation
services
to
serve
all
Residential
Properties
that
felt
like
a
tongue,
twister,
okay
and
then
his
next
point
was.
The
council's
special
committee
on
Council
processes
has
begun
looking
at
board
and
commission
reforms,
including
the
10
recommendations
from
the
recent
organizational
study,
as
he
mentioned
in
previous
meetings.
One
of
these
recommendations
is
to
combine
because
and
the
EC
given,
partially
overlapping
purviews.
A
There
are
probably
pros
and
cons
to
this
and
to
all
of
all
of
the
recommendations,
and
we
intend
to
invite
input
from
all
Commissioners
on
the
topic
of
Reform
generally
and
from
bikos
and
EC
members.
Specifically
with
regard
to
the
B
coast,
EC
recommendation
FYI,
the
committee
is
taking
a
short
break
from
our
meeting,
scheduled
due
to
CM
Rolo
deciding
to
step
down
commission,
wait,
council,
member,
sorry
and
designed
to
step
down
and
council
president
I
can't
say
this
name.
Appointing
do
I
say
it.
B
A
That's
it
appointing
council
member
volen
to
replace
him.
The
city
council
is
going
to
be
on
recess
for
about
a
month
coming
up
shortly,
once
we
scope
new
meeting
times
for
the
current
committee
membership,
we
will
probably
pick
up
where
we
left
off
in
July.
I
will
keep
you
all
informed
of
opportunities
for
input,
especially
regarding
the
bikos
EC
proposal.
Any
recommendations
from
the
committee
will
ultimately
be
taken
up
by
the
council
for
consideration
and
we're
aiming
to
complete
that
work
this
year.
A
A
I
would
say
any
questions,
but
I
can't
answer
any
questions.
Okay,
so
we
will
move
on
to
reports
from
Commissioners
and
we'll
start
with
just
transition,
Caitlyn
or
natural.
If
you'd
like
to
report
out.
G
F
F
I
think
we
have,
as
a
commission,
so
I
reached
out
to
the
Indiana
Geological
Survey
here
in
the
area
and
spoke
to
the
director
Todd
Thompson,
and
he
was
overjoyed
to
talk
with
me
and
shared
a
lot
of
information
about
our
local
geological
area
and
offered
to
come
speak
to
the
commission
as
well.
Since
this
is
a
fairly
new
commission,
a
lot
of
us
have
recently
joined
I.
F
Think
it'd
be
a
really
awesome
opportunity
to
learn
more
about
our
area
here,
listen
to
what
they
do,
maybe
even
Explore
some
intersectional
sustainability,
since
just
transitions
is
kind
of
focused
on
that.
As
far
as
the
quality
is
concerned.
As
far
as
intersectional
sustainability
goes,
I
also
spoke
with
Nathan
with
the
Summit
Hill
land
trust.
You
probably
remember
me
speaking
about
him
the
last
time
I
was
here.
F
F
I
know
when
we
talked
about
the
fossil
fuel
treaty,
the
question
of
whether
or
not
fossil
fuels
even
exist
in
Indiana
or
drilling
for
them
exists,
and
nobody
was
really
able
to
give
a
straight
answer
until
I
talked
to
director
Todd
Thompson
and
he
said
absolutely
not,
there's
none
in
the
Monroe
or
Lawrence
counties,
but
in
other
parts
of
the
state
there
actually
are
some
refineries
and
such
so
that's
just
one
small
part
about
the
geological
features
in
our
area
that
he
knows
about
and
could
share
with
us.
So
I,
don't
know.
A
F
Yeah,
he
just
wanted
to
know
kind
of
the
constraints
how
how
long
of
a
presentation
and
then
I
think
the
Q
a
will
probably
be
the
most
interesting
piece,
because
each
of
us
have
such
a
different
background.
So
the
areas
where
our
Specialties
might
overlap
with
that
could
be
interesting
and
then
also
dates
like
what.
What
do
our
agendas
look
like
coming
up
and
when
can
we
put
both
Nathan
and
Todd
on
the
schedule?
Okay,.
A
H
Okay,
so
yeah
a
couple:
things
came
up
between
our
last
meeting
and
now
regarding
the
fossil
fuel
treaty.
It
came
to
our
attention
that
there
was
some
confusion
by
people
in
the
commission
about
the
goals
and
of
the
fossil
fuel
knob
proliferation
treaty
initiative
and
and
its
particular
alignment
with
the
climate
action
plan.
H
So
we
wanted
to
address
those
briefly,
and
that
is
that
the
goals
of
this
initiative
are
not
to
ask
the
city
to
endorse
an
international
treaty,
but
to
ask
the
city
to
sign
a
resolution
which
we
read.
That
would
encourage
the
state
and
or
national
governments
to
encourage
such
a
treaty
being
made,
because
this
is
the
only
feasible
approach
to
reaching
the
climate
goal
of
maintaining
a
habitable
planet
for
the
residents
of
our
city.
In
other
words,
demand
side
action
is
not
enough.
That's
what
this
resolution
says.
H
It
says
that
the
only
way
we're
going
to
reach
our
climate
goals
is
the
supply
side
approach.
Rather
than
simply
encouraging
people
to
buy.
You
know
less
fossil
fuels.
We
actually
need
a
comprehensive
supply-side
solution
if
we're
going
to
be
able
to
continue
to
inhabit
this
planet,
and
this
is
in
line
with
the
cap
climate
action
plan,
the
energy
in
the
built
environment,
goals
of
encouraging
state
and
federal
government
action
to
reach
responsible
climate
goals.
H
Secondly,
the
meat-
you
know-
I
mean
I
think,
frankly,
that's
a
very
important
goal
on
its
own,
but
the
other
goals
of
this
initiative,
which
Caitlyn
was
referring
to
Arthur,
to
Spur
our
commission
to
research,
the
local
implications
of
the
supply
side,
approach
to
phasing
out
fossil
fuel
use
included,
including,
but
not
limited,
to
investments
in
renewable
energy
exploration,
Innovation
infrastructure,
including
great
modernization.
H
These
are
also
goals
that
are
directly
in
support
of
the
climate
action
plan
goals,
energy
in
the
build
environment,
one
through
five,
and
so
our
current
work
on
exploring
the
local
implications
of
this
include
Caitlyn's
working
in
determining
that
fossil
fuels
are
not
extracted
in
our
community
and
we're
currently
reaching
out
to
both
Duke
and
Center
Point.
H
H
Finally,
our
working
group
hopes
to
trace
the
supply
chain
of
fossil
fuels
that
are
City
currently
uses
back
to
their
original
sources,
so
that
we
might
better
prepare
for
ensuring
the
workers
employed
in
the
supply
chain
will
have
opportunities
for
green
jobs
or
other
secure
employment
during
this
transition
phase.
That
are
that
our
community
must
undertake.
H
So
we
wanted
to
that's
both
an
update
and
clarification
of
some
areas
of
confusion
that
we
were
alerted
to
after
the
last
meeting
and
then
I
just
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
Caitlyn
that
you
had
mentioned
wanting
to
invite
the
community
Nathan
from
the
community
Land
Trust.
H
Yes,
yes
to
the
commission,
because
that's
another
initiative
from
the
just
transition
working
group.
F
Yes,
I
did
mention
Nathan.
He
just
emailed
me
back
today
and
said
that
he'd
love
to
come
present
to
the
to
the
group,
so
I
think
that
if
everybody
on
a
commission
is
amenable
that
might
be
too
kind
of
guess
that
might.
H
Be
interesting:
are
there
any
any
any
questions
or
like
clarifying
questions
about
the
fossil
fuel
initiative?.
C
What's
the
what's
the
actionable
outcome,
so
so,
if
the
city
adopts
the
resolution,
what
aside
from
abstract
efforts
towards
green
energy.
C
Production
of
fossil
fuels
what
what
say
they
adopted
it.
What
would
be
the
first
thing
that
you
would
hope
would
be
an
outcome
of
their
decision.
H
Well,
I
would
say
we
can't
really
answer
that
until
we
have
completed
our
research
that
we're
currently
doing
to
find
out
what
the
local
implications
of
such
a
transition
would
be
for
our
community
and
then
we
plan
to
once
we
find
out
what
those
implications
are
we
plan
to
try
to
research
what
recommendations
we
might
suggest
to
improve
those
outcomes
for
our
community
and
then
include
those
into
the
resolution
that
we
read
last
month,
and
so
hopefully
those
would
have
answered
your
question,
but
I
would
also
state
that,
even
if
the
only
actionable
outcome
of
this
entire
initiative
was
to
get
our
city
to
pressure
the
state
to
pressure
the
national
government
to
to
take
action
on
a
supply-side
treaty
to
address
fossil
fuel
non-proliferation
I
would
not
see
this
as
an
abstract
outcome.
A
A
A
All
right,
thanks
Angela,
we
are
gonna
move
on
to
our
new
working
group.
That
Justin
has
put
together
and
he's
going
to
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
Hebrew
is
planning
for
this
working
group.
J
Sure,
great
thanks
everyone,
so
the
working
group
that
I've
been
planning
is
what
I'm
calling
the
Strategic
engagement
and
Outreach
of
working
group,
and
so
the
idea
of
this
group
is
to
support
the
mission
of
this
commission
through
building
collaborative
relationships,
sort
of
like-minded
similar
groups,
groups
that
have
some
sort
of
overlap
with
our
mission
and
also
through
educational
Outreach
to
the
public.
J
So
those
kinds
of
relationships
could
be
other
with
other
City
entities
like
other
commissions
other
boards,
maybe
at
the
county
level,
could
also
be
you
know:
NGO
type
organizations
or
Academia
people
or
Private
Industry,
that
sort
of
thing
and
then
on
the
public
Outreach
side
of
it.
It's
just
sort
of
generating
awareness
of
sustainability
issues.
What
we
do
here
on
the
commission,
education
and
then
you
know
soliciting
that
Community
input
that
we
can
then
take
but
forward.
J
So
the
reason
I
wanted
to
address
this
was
kind
of
a
couple
fold
number
one
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
have
some
sort
of
structured
way
to
you
know
both
create
and
then
Foster,
or
continue
to
maintain
these
sorts
of
relationships
with
by
working
with
other
groups.
In
a
strategic
way,
we
can
share
knowledge
and
combine
resources.
We
can
avoid
duplicating
efforts
that
sort
of
thing
we
can
really
sort
of
maximize
the
impact
that
we
could
have,
because
we're
pulling.
J
Can
get
a
lot
more
done
in
a
period
of
time
and
then
I
think
we
could
also
sort
of
diversify
the
portfolio
of
initiatives
and
projects
that
pursuing
here
sort
of
to
the
point
earlier
about
the
sort
of
broader
mission
of
this
commission.
If
you
compare
it
to
say
the
environmental
commission,
where
here
we're
looking
at
sustainability
from
a
socio
environmental
economic
lens,
not
just
the
environmental
lens.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
groups
out
there
that
are
doing
work.
J
So
the
general
approach
that
I
have
so
far
is
to
develop
and
execute
an
engagement
strategy,
so
not
just
to
kind
of
pick
out
a
couple
names
out
of
a
hat
and
then
go
for
it.
But
to
put
a
little
bit
of
thought
into
it
up
front
kind
of
map
out
what
the
other
groups
and
organizations
in
the
area
are
that
we
might
want
to
engage
with
sort
of
prioritize.
J
J
That
engagement
strategy
also
developing
some
sort
of
public
Outreach
and
education
plan.
With
this
sort
of
a
broad
plan,
it
would
be
a
good
thing.
I
don't
currently
have
anything
in
the
works
for
that.
So
if
people
have
ideas,
we
definitely
welcome
them
and,
as
another
part
of
the
approach
sort
of
building
off
past
work
that
this
commission
has
done
so
as
I
sort
of
poke
through
some
old
minutes,
and
things
like
this
and
some
of
the
documents
that.
J
Looks
like
this
is
not
the
first
time
that
these
sorts
of
you
know
collaborative
relationships
have
been
established
in
the
past,
so
you
know
we
don't
have
to
reinvent
the
wheel.
We
can
leverage
some
of
those
relationships,
we've
built
in
the
past
and
and
sort
of
build
on
top
of
that
I
think
it's
important
to
really
sort
of
keep
these
things
documented,
because
it
can.
J
J
So
if
we
have
sort
of
a
connection
to
a
particular
group
and
then
the
person
on
our
commission
Who's
involved
with
that,
you
know
leads
and
then
we
suddenly
don't
have
that
relationship
anymore.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're,
maybe
slotting
someone
else
in
there
to
sort
of
take
over
in
a
seamless
way
and
just
to
keep
that
institution
On
All
or
so
we
can
look
back.
You
know
a
few
years
later
and
say:
okay,
we've
done
this
in
the
past.
We've
done
that
now
we're
trading
new
water.
J
So
what
I'm
sort
of
planning
to
do
on
this
front
is
just
to
give
regular
reports
at
this
meeting
as
we
sort
of
gear
things
up
just
about
the
lines
of
effort
and
any
relevant
goings-on
with
the
the
various
groups
that
we
choose
to
engage
with,
and
my
hope
is
that
other
people
will
sort
of
get
involved
to
the
extent
that
they're
able
I'm
hoping
that
it'll.
The
intention
is
that
it'll
be
kind
of
a
flexible
situation.
J
So
if
you
have
you
know
an
hour
a
month
to
give
that
would
be
great,
and
if
you
want
to
put
more
into
it,
that
would
be
awesome
too.
The
goal
is
to
make
it
sort
of
agile
and
iterative
so
that
as
we
go
along
and
we
learn
new
things,
we
have
adjust
the
strategy
and
once
things
are
kind
of
up
and
running,
hopefully
it
won't
take
too
much
effort
to
kind
of
maintain
it
right.
It'll
just
be
kind
of
keeping
that
momentum
going
so
for
the
the
year-end
goals.
J
I
came
up
with
a
couple
just
to
start
us
off.
Of
course,
we
can
tweak
these
a
bit
if
people
have
thoughts
on
this,
so
I
came
up
with
three
number.
One
is
just
to
finalize
and
begin
executing
that
engagement
strategy
number
two
is
to
establish
relationships
with
the
top
seven
other
organizations
that
we
want
to
connect
with.
However,
we
decide
to
rank
those
in
terms
of
what
we
think
would
be
the
most
beneficial,
let's
pick
seven
groups
and
try
to
establish
communication
with
them.
J
So
if
folks
are
interested
in
getting
involved,
please
let
me
know
you
can
email
me
or
talk
to
me
directly
in
the
immediate
term,
looking
to
get
that
engagement
strategy,
sort
of
finalized
and
in
good
shape
so
that
we
presented
at
the
next
meeting.
So,
looking
for
input
on
that
and
for
that
initial
round
of
engagements,
it
would
be
good
to
have
some
Liaisons
to
sort
of
be
the
point
person
to
interface
with
those
groups,
and
we
may
already
have
some
of
that.
That's
sort
of
going
on
in
a
bit
more
unstructured
way.
J
Topics
in
a
more
broad
way,
because
of
course
we
have
a
single
commission-
can
only
do
so
much
right,
but
collaborations
are
always
more
powerful
than
the
integral
parts
that
make
them
up
right.
So
the
goal
is
to
sort
of
Leverage
so
happy
to
hear
comments,
questions
suggestions,
again,
I'm
quite
new
to
this
commission.
So
you
know,
if
I'm
sort
of
doing
things
that
have
already
been
done,
happy
to
hear
that
or
if
I'm
stepping
on
somebody's
toes.
Let
me
know
any.
J
C
F
F
So
no
I
just
mean
to
say
that
I
think
it
actually
kind
of
perfectly
overlaps
with
what
our
working
group
was
talking
about,
which
is
kind
of
this
fact-finding
Mission
and
educating
ourselves
about
Bloomington
more
and
this
commission
and
kind
of
where
those
intersections
are
of
sustainability.
So
yeah
I
think
it's
a
cool
idea.
If
you're
kind
of
the
project
management
office
of
the
of
the
commission.
H
Oh
yeah
can
I
can
I
go
yeah,
go
for
it.
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
I
I
approve
of
the
the
like.
H
You
know
the
this
approach
that
you're
taking
it's
very
similar
to
the
approach
like
sort
of
a
design,
thinking
a
system,
space,
Outreach
approach
that
you're
taking
to
this
work,
and
my
only
suggestion,
which
is
also
in
line
with
our
working
group,
would
be
when
you're
engaging
with
the
community
to
prioritize
engaging
the
people
who
are
most
impacted
by
the
different
issue,
areas
that
you're
researching,
because
we
we
actually
I'm
on
an
Outreach
committee
on
another
commission
that
has
a
very
very
similar
mission,
is
the
one
that
you're
describing
having
for
this
commission
and
just
a
key
part
of
that
in
my
in
my
experience
of
doing
consent
based
community
Outreach
is
prioritizing
targeting
the
people
who
are
most
impacted
by
those
decisions,
and
so
you
know
that
might
be
a
certain
marginalized
groups.
H
It
might
be
certain
subject
matter
experts
there
might
be
people
in
certain
neighborhoods.
It
could
be
people
who
work
in
certain
industries
right.
So
that
would
be
my
suggestion
and
yeah
I'm
interested
in
joining
it
as
well.
H
H
Those
comments
I
mean
it
sounds
like
you're
taking
you're
talking
about
an
inductive,
an
inductive
approach
to
doing
our
commission
work
rather
than
a
deductive
one,
which
is
what
we
tend
to
do,
which
is
take
our
own
favorite
topics
and
Just
Go
With
It
you're
talking
about
doing
a
more
inductive
approach,
so
I
like
that
idea.
I
Okay,
so
we
came
up
with
our
year-end
goals
and
then
I
will
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail.
I
But
as
I
spoke
as
we
spoke
about
last
meeting
with
the
Rumpke
versus
republic,
there
was
a
meeting
at
Rumpke
that
anybody
could
go
to
Emma
myself,
Joe
and
Sean
were
there,
and
there
were
three
main
points
that
make
it
a
no-brainer
from
my
point
of
view
that
we
switch
to
or
that
that
the
city
switches
to
Rumpke,
we
just
need
to
figure
out
who
it
is
that
makes
that
final
decision.
I
But
before
that
even
happens,
the
City
by
sometime
in
August,
need
to
give
Republic
per
the
contract
60-day
notice
saying
that
they
are
that
they
want
to
get
bids,
because
if
they
don't
the
contract,
Auto
renews
for
another
year.
So
the
three
main
reasons
and
I'm
sure
there's
plenty
of
others.
One
is
that
the
landfill
that
Rumpke
uses
is
35
miles
away,
34
35
miles
away,
whereas
the
landfill
that
Republic
uses
is
67
68
miles
away.
I
So
when
you're
considering
the
miles
per
gallon,
these
trucks
get
that's
a
massive
win
in
reducing
the
impact
of
how
the
carbon
impact
that
it
takes
to
get
the
trash
to
the
landfill.
The
second
thing
is:
Rumpke,
collects
methane
from
their
landfill.
I
know
that
this
is
something
that
Matt
Flaherty
was
very
interested
in.
He
gave
me
a
statistic
that
60
to
90
of
the
methane
is
collected,
whereas
Republic
does
not
collect
methane
from
their
landfill
at
all,
so
that
was
what
was
most
interesting
to
him
and
then
so.
I
That's
on
the
on
the
trash
side.
On
the
recycling
side,
a
goal
that
Waste
Management
had
was
to
look
into
Tetra
packs,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
what
those
are
think
of
your
almond
milks.
Your
soups
things
like
that
comes
in
those
Republic
does
not
recycle
those
Rumpke
does,
and
if
we
look
at
our
climate
action
plan,
the
city
wants
to
reduce
waste,
go
into
the
landfill
by
a
certain
percentage
by
2030
that
is
seriously
low
hanging
fruit.
I
Now,
with
all
that
being
said,
like
I
said
it
seems
like
a
no-brainer
to
me.
The
city
is
planning
on
increasing
rates
because,
as
Emma
read
that
Matt's
email
right
now,
the
city
subsidizes,
almost
50
percent
of
the
cost
of
recycling
and
trash
I-
think
it's
like
18
is
average,
so
they're
planning
on
upping
it
to
36
from
what
I
read
from
an
article
in
the
paper.
I
I
Still
the
long-term
impact
of
Les
Miles,
collecting
the
methane
and
be
able
to
recycle
more
seems
like
once
again
an
absolute
no-brainer.
So
as
a
working
group,
we're
going
to
be
putting
together,
do
you
wanna
we're
gonna,
be
putting
together
a
drafting,
a
call
to
action?
Thank
you
good.
A
I
Okay,
a
call
to
action
to
ask
the
city
to
give
the
60-day
give
give
the
notice
of
accepting
bids
for
the
the
new
contract
and
pushing
them
towards
Rumpke,
because
all
the
evidence
says
that
that's
a
vastly
better
option
based
on
what
the
city's
climate
action
goals
are,
and
so
we're
gonna
hopefully
present
that
to
the
because
next
month,
so
that
everybody
can
read
it
and
then
maybe
the
month
after
that
vote
on
it,
which
is
cutting
it
close
yeah.
I
So
my
question
for
Sean
or
our
question
for
Sean
was:
can
you
figure
out
who
it
is
that
makes
the
final
decision,
because
I
did
go
to
the
city
council
meeting
and
I
presented
this
to
the
city
council
so
that
they
understood
what
a
no-brainer
it
is,
but
they're,
not
the
decision
makers.
They
can
decrease
a
budget,
but
they
cannot
say.
You
must
go
with
this
option.
Is
that
something
that
you
would
be
able
to
to
figure
out
who
it
is?
I
The
other
two
goals
are
to
finalize
our
compost,
captains
project
program
and
begin
a
trial
in
one
neighborhood
and
if
you're
not
familiar
with
compost
captains,
the
idea
is,
there
are
already
people
who
are
composting
in
every
neighborhood
across
the
country,
we're
just
looking
for
those
people
to
step
up
and
say
I'm
willing
to
take
one
two
three
of
my
neighbors
food
waste.
That's
especially
pointed
at
this
time
because,
as
we
all
know,
the
only
company
that
did
residential
composting
shut
down,
and
so
this
it
would
not
fill
the
entire
need.
I
It
would
fill
a
small
portion
of
the
need.
But
if
we're
talking
about
being
more
sustainable
people,
keeping
their
food
waste
in
their
neighborhood,
turning
it
into
soil
makes
a
heck
of
a
lot
of
sense,
and
the
idea
would
then
to
be
to
train
them.
People
that
want
to
to
learn
how
to
increase
it
or
do
things
like
bokashi
or
other
ways
of
composting.
That
will
benefit
everybody.
I
Designated
area
just
for
glass-
and
this
would
not
be
from
a
residential-
this
would
be
commercial
industrial
glass,
and
so
we
wanted
to
research,
successful
glass,
recycling
by
commercial
business
programs
that
run
in
other
cities.
If
you've
been
downtown,
I
took
a
picture
at
upstairs
and
you
look
in
the
the
trash
cans
and
there's
plenty
of
glass.
There's
plenty
of
plastic
as
well.
I
So
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
are
there
other
cities
that
are
currently
successful
with
bars
or
with
industry
that
are
recycling
on
a
massive
level
that
we
can
not
reinvent
the
wheel
and
just
follow
exactly
what
they're
already
doing,
because
that
that
is
seems
from
our
perspective
once
again
low
hanging
fruit?
We
just
have
to
figure
out
what
is
the
best
way
to
do
that
that
doesn't
disrupt
business,
that
we
can
integrate
into
what
these
bars
or
commercial
industrial
businesses
are
already
doing.
C
It's
already
a
recycle
for
for
cash
program,
for
models
and
cans
are.
C
Joe
says
no
okay,
so
if,
if
they
can
monetize
the
or
if
we
can
find
a
program
accept
it,
maybe
that's
something
we
can
incorporate
with
as
an
incentive
well
as
an
opportunity
to
fund
some
other
projects
or
some
of
the
unhoused
people
that
are
down
there
anyway.
A
A
Just
now,
no
new
business,
no
resolutions,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
during
this
meeting
our
next
meeting
is
at
July
on
July
11th
2023
at
6
PM
right
here
in
this
room
thanks.
Everyone.
