We
invite
you
to
recognize
the
written
histories
of
the
united
states,
specifically
midwestern
states
as
fractured.
Let
us
acknowledge,
then,
that
we
are
currently
on
the
land
of
the
indigenous
who
continue
to
be
systematically
raced
by
policies
and
practices
that
we
remove
their
histories
from
this
place.
Let
us
honor
the
enslaved
people
who
built
the
wealth
and
the
foundation
of
the
united
states.
Let
us
recognize
the
history
of
the
united
states
as
complex
with
the
racism
of
white
supremacy.
B
We
recognize
that
these
different
histories
persist
in
present
day
by
racial
realities
and
prejudice.
Within
our
minneapolis
green
zone
task
force
movement,
we
commit
to
dismantling
racism
and
spaces
of
our
work.
We
invite
you
to
work
besides
us
to
create
change
and
thank
you
and
welcome
to
the
green
zone
and
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
our
facilitator.

Hi
everybody,
my
name's
anthony
taylor,
I'm
with
neighborhood
and
community
relations
besides
technology
issues,
that
seems
like
will
never
go
away
with
any
of
us.
My
day
was
good,
went
outside
just
got
done,
barbecuing
some
chicken
and
didn't
have
to
put
on
a
skull
cap
and
a
and
a
big-ass
coat.
So
today
was
good.
E
E
A
B
H
J
Hi
excuse
me:
I'm
cooking
supper.
At
the
same
time,
I'm
doing
this.
My
computer
is
acting
up
today
of
all
days.
I've
had
meetings
all
day,
and
this
is
like
my
fourth
meeting
I
started
so
I
haven't
been
outside
at
all.
I
don't
even
have
shoes
on
barely
got
my
pants
on
today,
so
you
know
I'm
dressed,
but
that's
as
far
as
I
got
today,
but
overall
it's
a
good
day
because
I
got
a
lot
accomplished.
J
What's
for
dinner,
my
my
husband
wanted
what
he
calls.
What
does
he
call
it?
I
call
it
hot
dish,
but
he
calls
it
something
else.
So
I
I
made
the
mistake
saying
what
do
you
want
for
dinner?
So
I
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
introduce
a
young
man
that
I've
had
a
conversation
with
eden.
Yano
he's
a
guest
here
tonight.
J
He
is
with
the
minnesota
environmental
justice
table
a
young
man
that
I
met
you
a
few
years
ago,
while
I
did
a
presentation
at
the
university
of
minnesota
urban
studies
class
and
he
and
I
had
a
good
conversation
yesterday,
they're
interested
in
connecting
with
the
north
side
green
zone.
They
are
funded
right
now
by
community
power,
which
is
a
group
of
folks.
I
know
if
you
in
north
minneapolis
and
so
they're,
using
their
their
information
and
their
assistance
in
getting
going
so
aidan.
Are
you
here.
K
L
M
Yep
ikea
here
definitely
warmer
day
today,
so
that
was
nice.
I
spent
the
weekend
ice
fishing
on
the
lake,
so
it
was
cold
and
freezing
the
whole
time.
So
definitely
today
was
nice,
but
I'm
just
not
looking
forward
to
tomorrow
when
all
the
snow
melts
refreezes
and
it
gets
slippery,
but
it
was
nice
today.
A
G
A
A
N
O
That
sounds
good.
I'm
thank
you
for
having
us
again
so
last
time
I
was
here.
I
came
along
with
some
natural
resource
colleagues
and
we
were
talking
about
the
natural
resources
strategic
plan
development,
but
we
also
were
asked
to
come
and
kind
of
prepare
to
talk
about
our
organizational
chart
and
kind
of
who
we
are
at
hennepin
county
and
what
areas
we
represent,
and
so
I've
brought
along
now
some
colleagues
from
the
waste
reduction
and
recycling
side
and
we're
going
to
help
answer
your
questions.
O
Do
you
mind
putting
that
up
carolyn,
and
then
we
can
look
at
the
org
chart
to
talk
about
who
we
are
so
I'm
the
strategic
initiatives,
manager
for
hennepin,
county
environment
and
energy,
I'm
in
the
admin
division,
and
I
oversee
the
environmental
education
community
engagement
efforts
as
well
as
coordinate
our
department's
climate
work
and
so
ben
and
carolyn
are
here
they're
in
the
solid
waste
division
and
the
waste
reduction
and
recycling
unit.
Do
you
want
to
just
give
a
brief
hello
and
who
you
are
carolyn?
P
Q
O
We
want
to
know
what
your
questions
are
specifically
around
herc,
but
also
around
plastics
and
waste
reduction
and
recycling
programs,
and
we
will
continue
to
follow
up
and
we
do
want
to
talk
about
the
work,
that's
underway
with
the
development
of
the
zero
waste
plan.
So
we
have
a
couple
of
slides
on
that,
but
we
promise
it's
not
going
to
be
long.
So
you
can
ask
us
questions
so
next
slide,
please
carolyn.
O
So
the
first
question
was:
how
does
the
county
transport
ash
from
the
incinerator
to
rosemont
and
what
route
does
it
take
through
the
cities,
and
so
we
put
that
up
here?
It's
transferred
to
rosemont
in
end
dump
trailers.
We've
got
a
picture
of
what
that
looks
like
there
and
the
most
used
route
is
to
take
I-94
east,
then
to
highway
52
south
to
highway
55
east
and
then
the
skb
landfill
is
right
off
of
highway.
55..
B
Does
and
to
follow
that
up
because
of
the
transportation
coming
from
north
minneapolis
on
highway
94,
and
we
don't
have
any
blockage
anita,
you
can
help
me
on
the
proper
wording
are.
Are
you
guys
planning
on
protecting
us
for
the
emissions
and
the
soot?
That's
coming
that
pops
off
those
trucks
as
they
travel
through
our
cities.
B
B
The
the
the
missions
from
the
traveling,
so
when,
if
you
drive
behind
any
truck
on
these
highways,
I
don't
care
what
city
or
where
you're
at
little
kibbles
and
bits
of
things
pop
out
of
these
trucks.
And
my
thing
is:
how
secure
are
these
transports
to
keep
these
elements
of
the
ash,
from
speeding
onto
our
highways
that
getting
into
the
whip,
the
eddies
and
the
surface
air
circulation?
O
Yeah,
I
will
go
back
and
follow
up
as
well
with
to
find
out
sort
of
what
containment.
I
know
that
there's
a
cover
on
the
top
specifically
in
terms
of
the
route
traffic
I
mean
herc,
is
located
really
right
off
of
an
on-ramp
in
downtown
minneapolis
onto
94.
So
I
think
more
of
that
concern
would
be
along
that
route
that
you
talked
about
here,
but
I
will
go
back
and
ask
about
more
more
details
around
those
one.
One.
B
B
E
O
B
B
So
we
won't
go
into
that,
but
when
you
say
expensive,
when
we
have
not
just
hurt
but
there's
seven
incinerators
across
the
state
of
minnesota,
none
of
them
are
being
regulated
or
modern
for
the
plastic,
not
only
that
we
have
pla,
we
have
manufacturers
that
make
the
plastic
here
that
aren't
so
human
life
in
the
state
of
minnesota,
not
just
mine,
yours
and
everybody
that
dwells
here
is,
is
is
subject
to
this.
These
contaminants,
because
of
the
surface
air
and
the
circulation.
B
You
can
look
at
the
wcco
news,
channel,
google,
surface
air
and
the
circulation
do
it
and
when
you
say
what's
expensive
to
me,
that's
that's
that
I
just
I
don't
know.
Let
me
I
I
it's
it's
it's
upsetting
and
to
me
it's
human
lives,
and
this
is
some.
These
plastics
are
just
as
contagious
and
dangerous
to
all
of
us
and
we're
breathing
these
things,
and
you
want
to
know
why
you're
sick
and
this
and
that
well
because
things
aren't
being
properly
monitored
and
I'll
shut
up
from
that,
because
I
can
go
on.
O
But
that
would
be
a
question
for
the
the
pca.
In
particular.
I
think
when
we're
talking
about,
if
the
concern
is
around
mercury,
dioxin,
furons,
pcbs
and
the
pathways
for
that
is
not
insulation,
it's
or
breathing
it
in
it's
exposure
from
food
sources,
and
so
it's
that
accumulation
depositing
in
the
soils
and
then
animals
eating
that
vegetation
and
or
you
know,
fish.
O
B
So
why
did
you
guys
change
your
monitoring
because
there's
documentation
that
a
report
came
out
and
I
have
it
where
certain
elements
and
mercury
and
things
were
were
were
being
regulated
and
monitored
and
and
a
couple
of
years
to
the
present
now
you've
changed
what
is
being
regulated
and
monitoring
coming
out
of
your
facility.
So
I
could
share
that
information
with
you
and
it's
just
a
comparison
of
things
and
yeah.
I'm
still
that
geek
and
still
researching
but
I'll,
shut
up
again.
O
O
O
So
that's
kind
of
an
overview
of
the
pollution
control
equipment.
We
have
next
slide
please,
and
this
is
where
the
questions
turn
over
around
plastic
and
I
think
ben
and
carolyn
are
going
to
help
and
then
I
saw
some
stuff
coming
up
in
the
chat.
I
couldn't
quite
read
them
as
I
was
looking
at
my
notes,
but
I
will
go
ahead
and
look
at
those
while
ben
and
carolyn
talk
and
respond
and
then
maybe
some
additional
questions
as
we
proceed.
Thank
you.
A
E
Okay,
so
these
questions
came
from
community
that
were
concerned
or
that
are
still
concerned.
Many
of
us
are
concerned,
so
it's
not
just
people
coming
to
us.
I
think
many
of
us
on
this
committee
are
also
concerned
about
the
heart
being
in
this
community.
But
for
starters,
I
have
two
questions.
One
well.
E
Incineration
does
emit
harmful
pollutants
like
lead,
nitrogen
oxides,
particulate
matter,
pm2
also
burning
plastics
produces
dioxins,
the
primary
ingredient
in
agent,
agent
orange
and
one
of
the
most
toxic
chemicals
known
to
human
kind.
A
study
in
netherlands
found
high
concentrations
of
dioxins
and
eggs
of
backyard
chickens
surrounding
an
incinerator.
I
think
this
is.
E
O
I
mean
I
can,
I
can
try
and
respond
now.
I
can
also
try
and
respond.
In
writing.
I
mean
I
think
the
county
wants
to
share
information
about
the
environmental
performance
which
includes
our
air
emissions
with
the
public.
We
know
that
there
are
concerns
that
community
members
have
and
the
county
has
not
done
a
good
job
in
listening
and
responding
to
those
questions.
We're
doing
that
now
and
we're
gonna
do
a
better
job
going
forward.
O
I
I
wouldn't
say
we're
trying
to
present
a
one-sided
picture.
I
think
we
are
trying
to
answer
the
questions
you
have
and,
as
the
questions
get
more
specific
and
you
can
share
with
us
what
you're
learning
what
you're
reading
what
you're
hearing,
we
can
go
back
and
ask
our
technical
folks
to
look
at
these
things.
I
think.
E
Well,
for-
and
you
know
again,
writing
would
probably
be
better
as
far
as
responding
to
these
questions,
so
we
don't
take
up
too
much
time.
So
I
can
give
you
more
time
to
be
able
to
respond
to
that.
You
know
why
the
county
is
painting
this
one-sided
picture,
and
are
these
really
just
community
concerns,
or
do
you
guys
also
have
these
concerns,
but
maybe
there's
some
sort
of
monetary
motivation
to
hide
these
concerns.
O
E
O
Think
we're
interested
in
understanding
how
herc
would
play
a
role
in
cumulative
impacts.
I
think
the
list
of
items
you
rattled
off
around
herck's
contribution,
her
does
admit
air
pollution
that
is
regulated
by
our
permit,
but
there's
it's
just
that's
the
permitted
sources
and
there's
a
lot
of
sources
that
are
not
permitted.
E
O
E
E
And
these
came
from
the
community,
so
these
are
just
I'm
just
asking
because
you
know
community,
it's
not
really
transparent.
You
know
we're
kind
of
communities
getting
the
one
sided
story,
not
just
us.
You
know
we
are
community
but,
like
you
know,
the
committees
are
getting
one-sided
stories
and
it
doesn't
matter.
I
mean
we
could
keep
going.
L
Yeah
thanks
guys
and
maybe
towards
what
roxanne
is
saying
in
future
conversations
just
curious.
Obviously
you
guys
are
working
within
the
regulations
that
are
are
being
you
know,
upheld
and
going
above
and
beyond,
isn't
necessarily
part
of
what's
required
right
now,
so
I
guess
my
question
would
be
is,
as
far
as
you
know,
community
this,
the
community's
concerns
and
and
moving
things
forward
in
a
positive
direction
that
you
know.
L
I
it's
a
good
report
that
you
guys
gave
that
there
are
some
improvements
given
and
you
know
from
where
it
came
from,
but
as
far
as
as
pushing
it
further,
what
would
you
suggest
our
group
who,
who
should
we
engage
with
as
far
as
that?
You're
you
know
in
your
organization
and
what
is
the
the
best
route
that
you
see
for
us
to
to
make
additional
progress
on
these
numbers.
O
Yeah
I
mean,
I
think,
if
that's
something
you're
interested
in,
that
is
the
county's
top
criteria
when
we're
looking
at
our
capital
improvement
projects
and
when
we
do
look
to
facilities
similar
to
what
is
operating
in
in
europe,
to
look
for
the
best
latest
technology
and
improvements,
and
then
we
have
independent
consultants
who
go
out
on
a
you
know,
routine
basis.
Looking
for
improved
technology,
I
would
say
that
is
the
difference
between
a
county,
operating
owning
and
operating.
O
A
facility
like
this
and
a
private
for-profit
company
is
that
our
motivation
is
not
for
profits.
Our
motivation
is
to
be
protective
of
our
environment
and
public
health,
and
so
the
county
has
invested
millions
in
dollars
of
voluntary
pollution
control
equipment.
Some
of
the
things
I
mentioned
here
with
like
the
continuous
emissions
control,
but
we
could
have
a
staff
member
come
back
and
and
give
a
presentation
on.
L
O
O
Because
of
kobe
protocols,
we
are
not
allowing
volunteer
visitors
into
the
building,
but
we
will
be
able
to
I'm
hoping
this
summer
as
things
that
we'll
be
able
to
reserve
tours
and
we'll
be
happy
to
host
this
group
and
others
to
come
inside
and
talk
to
the
technical
guys
and
and
kick
the
tires
inside.
The
plant.
A
Q
Thanks
kelly,
I
I
wanted
to
and
try
to
answer
the
next
question,
which
was
what
kind
of
plastics
are
in
the
trash
and
going
to
hurt,
and
so
we
did
a
waste
sort
study
of
minneapolis
residential
trash
back
in
2016.
It
was
a
very
thorough
study.
We
had
a
lot
of
different
categories,
so
we
looked
all
through
the
trash
and
this
is
what
we
found
and
of
all
the
trash.
Q
So,
as
you
can
see,
there
are
13
resist
recyclable
and
the
curbside
program
for
the
city,
six
percent
we
identified
as
recoverable
film.
So
if
you
take
that
to
a
target
or
or
a
different
location,
it
could
be
recycled,
but
then
a
lot
of
it
was
just
non-recyclable
currently
so
that
breaks
down
into
durable
another
film.
Q
That's
not
recyclable,
all
sorts
of
packaging,
the
trash
bags
themselves
and
then
a
small
proportion
was
polystyrene
and
pvc,
and
I
know
you
look
at
the
durable
another
category
and
you're
probably
like
well
what's
in
there
and
it's
just
it's
like
absolutely
everything
I
was.
I
was
there
doing
the
sort
and
it's
you
know
it's
the
football
that
your
kid
popped
or
it's
a
car
mat
that
was
ripped
or
you
know,
part
of
a
vacuum
tube
that
was
broken
and
and
on
and
on
and
on
so
that's
kind
of
a
durable
and
other
category.
Q
So
the
primary
reason
we
look
in
the
trash
is
to
figure
out
how
we
can
do
better
and
how
we
can
make
more
progress
to
zero
waste
so
kind
of
like
what
roxanne
was
saying
about
alternatives
like
we're
constantly
looking
for
alternatives
and
how
we
can
do
better
and
then
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Oh
sorry,
I
should
pause.
I
should
pause
for
any
any
follow-up
questions
there.
Q
Q
B
Q
Right
yeah
good
question,
so
we
we
measure
things
in
tons
just
because
that's
the
easier
way
to
do
it
than
than
volume.
Obviously,
plastic
is
light,
so
it
takes
up
a
little
more
volume
but
yeah.
Basically,
we
measured.
Okay,
here's
all
the
tons
and
here's
the
percent
by
weight
by
ton,
so
15
by
weight
is
plastic.
B
Q
B
The
incentive
that
the
residents
get
something
that
they
don't
know
that
they're
getting
for
the
for
us
being
consumers,
we're
contributing
to
industry,
that's
getting
ready
to
take
off
and
we
don't
get
nothing
but
a
discount
off
our
trash
cans.
Wow.
How
and
it's
a
plastic
one
at
that?
How
how
wonderful
america
is,
I'm
gonna
keep
it
moving.
Q
Feel,
like
I
have
a
follow-up
question
there
for
you
to
better
understand
you,
but,
but
I
can
I
can
do
this
next.
One
as
well
is
the
is
the
county
going
to
ban
black
plastic
bags,
including
the
sale
of
plastic
bags
in
retail,
so
there's
there's
actually
a
state
statute
that
prohibits
bagging
or
banning
bags.
So
it's
a
ban
on
bag
bands,
so
our
our
hands
are
tied
there.
Q
However,
we
are
interested
in
working
with
a
wide
variety
of
partners
to
see
what
we
can
do
on
different
levels:
federal
state
local.
So
I
would
make
a
pitch
that
you
know
we
can.
You
can
join
us
in
making
an
impact
by
taking
a
look
at
the
plastics
packed.
So
that's
something
that
we
joined
last
year
and
we're
we're
interested
in
working
with
them
and
other
partners
to
identify
unnecessary
and
problematic
plastics
that
can
be
eliminated
in
the
future.
Q
P
So
for
the
next
couple
slides,
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
initiatives
and
programs
that
we
have
going
to
address
plastics
and
then
also
the
zero
waste
plan.
So
to
answer
your
question,
the
state
several
years
back
tried
to
pass
a
bottle
bill.
That's
what
maine
has
where
there's
5
or
10
cents
on
your
containers,
to
give
you
an
incentive
to
bring
your
bottle
back
and
have
it
recycled.
P
It
did
not
succeed,
as
I
think
where
we
can
all
see
and
you
you
asked
about
whether
or
not
there's
any
effort
to
hold
manufacturers
accountable.
That
is
something
that
the
county
is
working
on:
we're
building
a
coalition
right
now
with
other
government
entities
in
minnesota,
some
private
industry,
some
non-profits
and
we're
working
on
developing
legislation,
we're
working
with
the
product
stewardship
institute.
Who
has
a
lot
of
experience
passing
product
stewardship
legislation
in
the
country?
P
There
have
been
a
number
of
successes
already,
so
we're
looking
to
develop
similar
legislation
here
in
minnesota,
we're
hoping
to
introduce
that
in
2023.
I
do
believe,
there's
an
effort
to
introduce
legislation
this
year
as
well,
but
that's
gonna
that
legislation
is
aimed
at
holding
the
producers
accountable
and
in
communities
that
have
passed
legislation
like
that.
We
see
greater
diversion
rates
and
we
also
see
innovation
in
how
those
products
are
being
designed,
because
once
you
hold
the
manufacturers
accountable,
they
start
thinking
more
about
what
it
is
that
they're
producing.
P
P
E
That
is
because
why
couldn't
we
just
like
have
like
a
a
plastic
container
that
already
fits
and
slides
into
our
normal
trash
cans
or
something
and
then
like
and
like
we
just
take
you
know
they
take
it
out
and
dump
it
it
dumps
in,
and
then
it
goes
back
in
your
thing
and
people
are
just
required
to
like
you
know
clean
it
up,
every
blue
moon.
I
guess
you
know,
I
know
that's
gonna,
be
you
know
the
probably
the
issue
for
a
lot
of
people,
but
I
think
so
you
get
what
I'm
saying.
P
Oh
yeah,
I
I
totally
hear
you
that
frustrates
me
as
well:
I'm
a
minneapolis
resident,
and
that
is
a
city
policy
and
I
do
believe
it's
related
to
the
cleanliness
of
the
bins
keeping
them
clean.
But
I
think
we
can
probably
send
that
question
to
our
colleagues
at
the
city
and
ask
for
more
clarification
on
that.
Yeah.
E
E
P
P
P
And
it's
been
wildly
successful.
What
we've
found
with
the
households
we've
worked
with
is
on
average
30
reduction
in
waste,
and
that's
that's
not
diversion,
so
that's
not
increased
recycling.
That's
total
reduction
in
the
in
the
waste
they're
producing
we
work
with
households
to
meet
them,
where
they're
at
and
to
find
solutions
that
fit
into
their
life,
so
that
those
those
are
two
two
options
we
have
for
residents.
P
We
just
got
board
approval
to
develop
a
single-use
plastics
campaign.
That's
going
to
be
targeted
at
restaurants,
we're
going
to
be
working
with
minnesota
wise.
They
do
a
lot
of
work
with
restaurants
to
help
them
or
restaurants
and
businesses
throughout
the
metro
area
to
help
them
reduce
waste,
and
this
will
be
targeting
restaurants
to
we'll
have
some
incentives
there
to
help.
Restaurants
switch
to
reusables
and
and
wastewise
will
help
them
find
alternatives
or
solutions
to
plastics
that
they're
currently
using.
P
E
One
more
question,
so
I
I
often
hear
kirk
being
like
being
shown
to
community
as
like
this
job
center.
You
know
this
place
where
we're
getting
jobs
and
we're
getting
free
energy
or
we're
getting
we're
getting
this
energy
right
from
purdue
from
we're
producing
energy
from
trash
right.
That's
the
story,
I
guess
one
of
my
major
concerns
is
being
that
this
is
in
a
community
full
of
you
know,
people
who
are
poor
and
black
and
indigenous-
and
you
know
so
on
so
forth.
Poor
white
is
that
we
reap
the
health
risks.
E
So
that's
a
historic
kind
of
pattern
that
counties
and
governments
have
in
states
have
been
doing
is
giving
us
the
risks
and
then
claiming
that
you
guys
are
taking
all
the
risks
and
doing
all
you
can,
but
you're
also
keeping
you're
reaping
the
benefits
right
of
this
of
this
energy
maker.
And
so
my
question
is:
is:
can
we
get
a
list
of
all
the
businesses
who
are
receiving
these
benefits
of
this
energy?
P
E
I
would
like
to
know
how
much
of
the
businesses
benefit
or
how
much
of
the
the
businesses
trash
is
out
of
that
75.
I
would
like
to
to
to
separate
that
from
you
know,
because
because
then
the
other
25
cent
is
the
rest
of
the
43
other
cities
in
this
county.
It's
trash
coming
here,
but
then
we're
being
told
that
75
is
from
us,
but
I
think
that's
kind
of
sneaky
that
you
guys
wouldn't
divide
that
so
that
we
know
what
businesses
are
contributing
versus
what
residents
and
people
living
here
are
contributing
so
yeah.
E
O
O
It's
not
free
and
then
the
other
portion
of
the
steam
goes
to
clearway
energy,
and
that
is
then
sold
to
downtown
buildings
that
have
district
energy,
and
so
that's
where
it
goes.
It's
not
free
energy,
so
it's
herc
is
in
place
to
manage
waste.
It
really
is
at
this
point,
the
waste
that's
put
in
the
trash
people
choose
to
throw
away.
It's
an
alternative
to
landfills,
we're
not
here
to
operate
energy,
but
that
is
a
benefit
we
can
get
from
the
waste.
O
At
this
point,
the
revenues
from
the
sale
of
those
materials
and
the
metals
are
put
into
the
county's
enterprise
fund
and
that
pays
for
the
waste
reduction
and
recycling
programs.
All
the
things
that
carolyn
talked
about
there,
as
well
as
our
natural
resources
program
so
again,
and
then
the
the
question
around
that
75
percent
of
voice
that
comes
from
minneapolis
businesses
and
residents.
O
E
A
A
No,
it's
like
excel
excel
through
its
integrated
resource
plan,
which
was
actually
just
approved
today
by
the
public
utilities.
Commission
has
a
certain
amount
of
coal.
Certain
amount
of
gas.
Certain
amount
of
renewables
herc
is
one
of
the
sources
that
goes
into
the
whole
mix
that
goes
to
everybody's
home
or
business
or
wherever
we
don't
have
a
choice
of
who
our
electric
provider
is.
E
P
P
Work
with
coffee
shops
to
do
reusable
cups,
coffee
cups,
and
I
mean
you
may
think
paper,
but
there's
plastic
in
the
lining
of
that,
and
then
we
also
do
have
requirements
recycling
requirements
through
our
ordinance
13.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
for
businesses
and
apartments.
They
are
all
required
to
have
recycling
at
their
businesses
and
apartments,
and-
and
now
I
want
to
talk
about
the
go
to
the
next
slide.
P
The
zero
waste
plan
that
we're
working
on
last
year
in
august,
our
county
board
directed
us
to
develop
an
operational
plan
to
map
us
to
a
zero-waste
future,
and
the
development
of
this
plan
is
going
to
involve
a
number
of
different
things.
One
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
our
existing
waste
management
system
and
the
programs
and
policies
that
are
influencing
and
influencing
it,
and
as
we
look
at
that,
we're
going
to
look
at
who's
benefiting
from
that
system
and
who's
burdened
work.
P
The
development
of
plans
gonna
include
a
robust
engagement
process.
That's
gonna
include
community
and
I'll
talk
about
that,
a
little
bit
more
as
well
as
stakeholders
and
then
ultimately,
we're
gonna
be
coming
up
with
strategies
with
the
community
that
we
hope
will
accelerate
us
to
zero
waste.
We
have
until
november
to
get
a
draft
plan
back
to
the
county
board.
E
O
B
E
K
K
A
lot
of
you
know
it's
it's
confusing
here,
a
lot
hearing
a
lot
of
this
technical
information
and
and
talk
of
pollution
control
equipment
and
all
this
all
this
stuff.
And
I
think
the
simple
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
this
plan
came
as
a
result
of
pressure
from
the
community
to
shut
down
the
incinerate,
the
herc
and-
and
you
know,
because
community
not
only
has
to
this
and-
and
I
should
say
the
most
impacted
members
of
the
community.
K
Many
of
them,
because
and
and
you
know
that
that
should
honestly
not
be
on
the
most
impacted
members
of
the
community.
It
should
be
the
job
of
government
to
have
moved
on
this
a
lot
earlier,
especially
as
many
of
you
know,
given
the
demographics
of
this
area,
there
are
many
many
people
who
want
to
move.
Many
of
our
you
know:
wealthier,
suburban
cities
in
the
county
want
to
move
to
zero
waste
faster.
So
you
know,
I
think,
and
it
is
a
question
I
I
guess
this.
K
K
That's
why
we're
doing
this,
which
I
think
is
also
really
important
for
government
to
hear
from
people
that
the
way
we
get
to
zero
waste
is
by
actually
listening
to
those
people
who
are
impacted
so
and
that's
where
the
momentum
and
the
reason
to
do
this
comes
from
you
know.
We
we
talk
to
a
lot
of
students
when
they
understand
that
recycling
composting
reuse.
K
All
of
that
means
that
people
don't
breathe
in
this
trash.
That
motivates
them.
So
I
mean
that's
the
first
thing.
I
also
think
it's
really
important
to
say
that
there
is
there
is
a
lot
of.
There
is
a
lot
of
information
that
that
sells
the
herc
as
this
positive
thing,
and
I
want
to
be
very
clear
about
that,
because
you
will
see
it.
Somebody
mentioned
the
airports,
you
know
you
look
at
those
those
airport
trash
bins,
and
it
looks
like
this.
K
This
magical
process
in
which
trash
is
converted
to
energy
and
there
isn't
any
byproducts
or
negative
effects
of
that.
If
that
was
the
case,
you
know,
I
think,
there's
there's
ample
peer-reviewed
research,
showing
that
incineration
is
dangerous
even
in
europe.
Much
of
that
research
is
coming
from
europe.
I
posted
earlier
about
dioxins
that
are
found
on
chick.
You
know
are
found
in
the
community
meaning-
and
this
is
you
know,
this
is
something
many
experts
say.
Dioxins
cannot
be
effectively
controlled
by
pollution
control
equipment.
I
think,
and
that
is
something
we.
K
I
think
this
green
zone
task
force
that
I
ask
for
your
help
and,
and
especially
that
fact,
because
dioxins
are
increasing
due
to
plastics
increasing
due
to
the
fossil
fuel
industry,
and-
and
so
it
really
is-
a
health
concern
more
and
more
dioxins.
People
breathing
that
in
or
that
ending
up,
ending
up
on
food
or
on
the
on
the
ground
is
a
real
issue.
So
I
think
we
we
do
need
to
pressure
and
push
the
hennepin
county
and
the
minnesota
pollution
control
agency
to
to
figure
out
what's
happening
with
dioxins.
K
Are
they
being
properly
controlled?
If
not,
something
needs
to
happen,
and
I
think
this
is
the
second
question
that
I
have
for
the
county,
and
that
I
would
ask
for
support
from
this
group
here
is:
can
we
make
sure
that
the
herc
incinerator
is
cl?
There
is
a
plan
for
the
closure
of
the
incinerator
through
this
zero
waste
plan
can
is.
Is
there
is
that
a
is
that
an
intention
of
the
county
or
yeah
or
what?
What
else
is?
What
is
the
hope
with
the
zero
waste
plan,
then.
P
So
I'll
start
with
your
first
question,
which
was
what
took
us
so
long
or
why?
Why
did
it
take
two
commissioners
to
get
us
to
develop
a
zero
waste
plan,
so
the
county
has
authority
or
is
responsible
for
managing
waste
and
that's
given
to
us
by
the
state
every
five
six
years
we
are
required
to
submit
a
solid
waste
management
master
plan,
so
we
have
them
planning
every
year
or
not.
P
Every
year,
every
five
to
six
years
we
develop
a
plan
that
has
strategies
that
are
outlining
how
we're
going
to
manage
waste
the
state-
and
I
don't
recall
what
year
I
think
was
2014-
set
a
goal
for
us
of
75
percent
diversion
by
2030.
So
we
had
a
pretty
aggressive
goal:
a
zero
waste
plan.
The
way
that
we've
defined
it
is
is
to
take
us
to
a
ninety
percent
diversion
rate.
P
But
I
will
say
we
are
generating
almost
1.5
million
tons
of
waste
a
year
in
hennepin
county
and
we're
currently
diverting
about
42
percent
of
that
waste
for
recycling
and
organics,
and
we
have
a
long
way
to
go.
There's
it's
going
to
take
so
much
more
than
us.
Putting
things
out
to
the
recycling
bin,
the
organics
bin,
we
need
big
change.
We
need
policy
change.
P
The
current
system
that
we
have.
We
can't
get
to
75
percent.
If
everyone
recycled,
if
everyone
composted,
we
would
not
get
to
75,
we
have
a
long
way
to
go,
so
we
need
big
change
to
get
to
zero
waste.
So
we're
excited
that
our
board
is
embracing
this
and
wants
us
wants
to
push
this
further
and
take
us
beyond
the
state
school.
P
But
knowing
that
we
were
struggling
to
get
to
the
state
school,
I
will
say
this
is
going
to
be
hard
and
it's
going
to
require
transformative
change
and
it's
going
to
require
all
of
us
to
get
involved
to
to
make
that
change,
and
I
I'm
with
you
I
I
can't
stand
plastics
I'd
like
to
see
them
disappear.
I
don't
like
how
much
they've
dominated
our
lives.
P
B
Carolyn,
I
you
spoke
of
working
with
policy
change.
I
don't
know
if
that,
if
I
heard
that
correct
about
the
extended
producer
responsibility,
if
you
have
a
team
committed
to
that,
I'm
interested
in
becoming
a
part
of
that,
because
these
manufacturers
that
we
have
in
minnesota,
not
just
the
plastics.
But
these
other
entities
need
to
take
responsibility
for
the
damage
that
they're
causing
to
the
state.
And
I'd
like
to
be
a
part
of
that.
P
Gladly,
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
we
can
all
do
is
contact
our
state
legislators
and
let
them
know
how
we
feel
about
these
issues
so
that
they
will
vote
to
make
change,
because
that's
where
a
lot
of
this
stuff
is
getting
tied
up.
But
yes
thank
you
and
I
I
appreciate
the
support
and-
and
we
will
we'll
do
what
we
can
to
involve
you
when
we
get
to
that
point.
K
K
The
county
has
you
know
st
has
we've
we've
known
in
this
county
that
there
needs
to
be
multi-family
composting
for
many
years
it's
been
talked
about
and
from
what
I
can
tell
it's
been.
I
think
when
many
of
us
have
seen
it's
been,
it's
been
limited
effort
and
that
really
is
on
the
county
to
implement
and
and
put
in
place
requirements
to
move
towards
that
to
to
fund
that.
I
think
also,
if
you
look
at
minneapolis,
minneapolis
has
a
zero
waste
action
plan.
K
What,
but
you
know
it
is
minneapolis
being
funded
or
supported
by
the
county
to
actually
implement
that
plan.
So
I
I
hear
you
and
I
agree-
I
completely
agree
with
you.
Many
of
us
are
working
with.
You
know
people
like
senator
frank,
hornstein,
esther
representative,
esther
agbaje,
who
are
putting
forward
bills,
but
I
do
and
yeah.
K
It
has
also
put
forth
90
diversion
as
their
goal,
and
I
don't
you
know,
there's
a
skeptical
part
of
me.
That's
like
oh,
so
hennepin
county
wants
to
be
at
the
at
the
head
of
the
pack,
but
is
there
the
actual
implementation?
Is
there
the
actual
commitment
to
reach
those
goals?
That's
the
question
and
that's
where
community
has
to
hold
the
county
and
government
accountable.
P
Yeah
and
you
right
it's
it's
not
just
our
state
legislators,
that's
one
piece
of
it.
I
mean
every
every
action
is
going
to
have
a
different
level
at
which
we're
going
to
need
involvement,
and
it's
it's
going
to
take
county
policy.
It's
going
to
take
state
federal,
it's
going
to
take
individuals,
businesses,
all
of
us.
We
can't
you
know.
No
one
thing
is
going
to
solve
this
problem,
but.
P
Yeah,
it's
it
it's
hard,
I'm
gonna
keep
fighting
for
it,
I'm
gonna,
you
know
angie
and
ben,
and
I
are
gonna,
keep
working
on
it
and
we
we're
hopeful
that
this
process
to
develop
a
plan
can
generate
more
interest
from
the
community
from
our
legislators,
and
that
includes
our
county
board
and
we
hope
that
we
can
come
up
with
some
innovative
solutions.
So
let
me
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
approach
we're
taking
to
develop
the
plan.
We've
hired
a
solid
waste
consultant,
who
is
a
national
firm
with
expertise?
P
There
are
communities
that
are
getting
to
70,
80
percent,
so
they'll
be
looking
to
see
what
they're
doing
and
how
we
can
integrate
that
into
what
we're
doing.
But
we
we
wanted
to
hire
a
solid
waste
consultant
that
had
national
expertise,
but
when
it
comes
to
the
engagement,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
local.
So
we
split
the
approach
up.
We
hired
a
facilitation
consultant
who's
going
to
help
us
with
the
engagement
and
then
we're
going
to
the
community
to
get
the
community's
help
in
doing
engagement
with
the
community.
P
O
That's
being
paid
to
help
us
with
this
work
as
well
as
minnesota.
Renewable
now
I
know,
christelle
porter
was
someone
else
that
was
mentioned
here,
but
we
did
want
to
make
sure
that
those
who
are
most
burdened
by
the
current
solid
waste
system
have
a
way
to
participate
in
the
discussion.
So
these
are
the
groups
that
are
going
to
be
working
on
this
team.
As
a
cohort.
O
Do
you
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide
carolyn,
and
we
can
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
they're
going
to
do
so
they're,
going
to
be
responsible
for
getting
input
and
helping
the
county
shape
the
engagement
plans,
but
specifically
then
hosting
engagement
sessions
for
their
community,
as
well
as
sharing
updates
on
the
process
and
feedback
opportunities
that
would
be
available
to
everyone
and
then
that's
individually.
But
then,
as
a
cohort.
O
We
want
them
to
come
back
together
and
share
what
they've
heard
from
the
community
and
so
that
together,
as
a
group,
we
can
gain
a
broader
understanding
of
the
solid
waste
system
and
what
individuals
see
as
what's
working
and
what?
What
do
they
see
as
the
barriers,
as
well
as
identify
community
driven
solutions
and
then
define
themes
that
would
be
used
in
some
second
plan
development?
O
P
If
I
could
just
add,
though,
this
is
just
phase
one
of
engagement,
once
we
go
through
the
community
engagement
with
the
community,
the
community
cohort
we'll
move
on
to
phase
two,
and
in
that
phase
we're
going
to
establish
work
groups
where
we'll
be
looking
for
community
representation
as
well
as
stakeholder
industry.
Stakeholders
will
come
together
to
develop
those
strategies
for
the
plan.
S
O
O
B
I'm
just
kidding
would
that
include
more
conveyor
belts
of
p
people
digging
through
the
trash,
no
offense
ben
I've
done
that
at
the
university
recycling
and
that's
the
most
disgusting
job
I've
ever
had.
But
if
people
were
actually
picking
through
their
own
garbage
and
using
a
lot
of
the
food
waste
for
composting
and
things
like
that
like
in
chicago,
they
have
a
thing
where
the
the
community
composts
their
waste
and
they
have
a
place
where
they
get
the
fresh
red
soil
for
their
community
gardens
and
different
avenues.
B
And
things
like
that
that
can
be
taken
from
a
lot
of
these
cities
and
incorporated
to
eliminate
the
waste,
and
I
don't
know
who
you
got
to
make
up
these
plans
and
things
and
what
their
background
is.
I'm
surprised
you
don't
have
michael
chaney
in
for
distributing
and
and
be
coming
in
for
food
waste
and
production
of
composting
in
this
committee,
and
things
like
that,
because
we
have
very
talented
people
within
the
green
zone
with
ideals
for
diversions.
P
I
I
don't
know
what
the
strategies
are.
Gonna,
be
we're
really
looking
to
the
community
to
hear
what
the
community
wants
those
strategies
to
be,
and
we
have
a
solid
waste
consultant
who
has
a
lot
of
expertise
on.
I
mean
they're
they're
going
to
be
able
to
help
us
with
potential
strategies,
but
we
really
want
to
hear
from
the
community
on
what
what
are
your
priorities
and
where
should
we.
E
I
don't
really,
I
don't
really
like
that.
You
know
what
I
mean:
don't
ask
the
community
what
our
priorities
are
when
you
know
you
know
that
I
feel
like
you're.
You
know
you're
talking
to
us
like
we're
stupid
and
I
don't.
I
don't
appreciate
that
you
know
our
goals
are
to
get
our
community
to
stop
having
to
take
everybody's
trash.
You
know
what
I
mean
like
it's,
not
that
hard
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
years.
Probably
me
myself
for
decades,
so
I
just
think
you
know.
E
I'm
sorry,
we
definitely
we
def.
You
know
we
definitely
want
to
phase
out
this.
This
incinerate
incinerator
and
I
you
know
we
can
talk
to
each
other
like
we
don't
know
and
that
we
don't
understand
what's
going
on,
but
we
it
would
probably
do
us
better.
We'd
get
a
little
farther
if
people
would
actually.
You
know
really
stop
coming
to
us
for
engagement
and
asking
us
what
we
want
and
then
turning
around
and
still
making
the
decisions
you
know
about
our
health
and
for
the
for
the
betterment
of
everybody
else's
jobs.
P
P
B
No,
it's
including
us
in
these
decision
makings
about
our
lives
instead
of
after
the
fact,
so
when
you're,
making
these
strategies
to
to
zero
waste
include
the
green
zone.
Ask
us
the
opportunity.
This
is
what
we're
having
we're.
Having
a
meeting
about
strategizing
the
waste
we
have
anthony,
we
have
a
marquita
health.
B
We
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
plan,
a
and
not
the
plan
fdc,
and
here
it
is
so
feed.
Don't
don't
leave
us
behind
include
us
right
there
in
inclusion.
I
don't
like
that
word
because
you
can
have
me
there
and
don't
listen
to
me.
So
you
need
to
eliminate
that
word
and
really
look
into
the
english
language.
What
that
word
means.
B
So
I
believe,
that's
that's
how
I
feel
for
being
born
and
raised
minneapolis
and
seeing
the
changes
that
these
entities
and
and
people
have
done
and
when
you
include
us
include
us
at
the
beginning
and
not
at
the
end,
and
I
believe
that's
maybe
what
all
of
us
feel
here,
because
we're
all
educated
and
we
all
have
talented
gifts
to
contribute
to
the
plans
and
the
decisions
that
are
made
in
our
city
and
our
everyday
lives,
because
this
is
the
only
life
we
have
the
only
place.
We
are,
I
mean
right
here
for
now.
A
O
S
I
would,
I
would
suggest
that
you
that
you
also
just
as
the
green
zone
has
community
members
but
city
city,
employees
and
staff
on
the
green
zone.
I
would,
I
would
suggest
that
you
have
some
folks,
you
know
like
leslie
who's
already
expressed
some
interest
concerned,
citizens
that
are
already
tied
360
to
environmental
matters.
S
Yes,
they
may
have
some
knowledge
and
experience,
but
it
also
is
a
revenue
stream
that
you
know
puts
them
in
some
cases
at
odds
with
the
concerns
of
the
community
secondary
to
a
revenue
stream
for
their
own
organization.
So
I
think
you
should
add
to
that
list,
some
folks
from
the
south
side
in
green
zone
or
some
other
community
engagement
groups.
O
And
I
will
say
we'll
be
calling
for
specific
community
members
as
well
to
participate
in
work
groups
that
will
form
to
actually
develop
the
strategies,
so
we
can
also
I'll
let
you
know
about
those
opportunities,
but
we
don't.
We
don't
think
that
this
is
the
only
engagement.
That's
going
to
happen.
There
will
be
lots
of
other
touch
points
for
engagement
to
many
different
groups.
B
Are
you
going
to
reach
out
to
us
when,
when
this
opportunity
arises,
as
michael
pointed
out
within
our
own
cohort
of
green
zone
members
they're
part
of
other
organizations,
and
I
feel
that
I
don't
know
how
you
made
this
list?
But
if
you
do
include
something
as
to
say
bringing
us
to
the
table
and
not
at
the
back
end,
could
you
keep
us
in
in
mind
when
you
make
these
decisions?
Thank
you.
O
And
I
will
just
emphasize
that
the
decisions,
the
ultimate
decisions
that
will
be
made
are
by
the
county
board.
I
mean
the
county
operates
in
terms
of
the
board,
setting
policy
there
or
direction
like
direction
to
implement
the
zero
waste
plan.
So
that's
that's
how
our
work
is
directed
and
so
the
decisions
will
be
made.
A
A
So
I
just
appreciate
county
folks
being
here
and
the
community
members
on
our
task
force
and
gas
being
here
to
to
dive
into
this
conversation
that
doesn't
have
any
easy
answers,
nazir
or
leslie
or
crystal
did
you
want
to
add
anything
about
the
work
that
you're
doing?
Is
there
any
call
to
green
zone
members?
K
Yeah
well,
actually,
we
partly
came
here
to
notify
folks
of
the
same
this,
this
zero
waste
plan
and
talk
about
herc,
but
yeah
michael.
I
think
we
would
love
to
have
you
and
anyone
here.
We
are
participating
as
one
of
the
community
groups
here,
so
we
would
love
to
join
with
you
or
have
you
be
part
of
it
too,
like
we?
If
you
can't
be
a
separate
entity,
that's
like
giving
feedback,
we're
happy
to
work
with
you
and
figure
out
how
to
make
that
happen.
K
S
To
I
guess
I
get
I
got,
I
got
one
more
comment.
Kelly
I
see,
I
see
you
know
some
of
the
representation
from
the
asian
community
in
the
groups
I
see,
but
I
don't
see
any
indigenous
input
from
the
indigenous
community
and
so
that
to
me
is
a
shortcoming
and
again,
if
we're
gonna
be
even
though
people
were
opposed
to
the
word
inclusive,
I
think
that
we
should
be
very
conscientious
that
all
ethnic
representation
of
our
community
is
approached
is
representative
here.
S
You
know
we're
all
in
this
soup
together.
So
again,
it
seems
kind
of
obvious
to
me
that
you
know
certainly
the
folks
down
at
little
earth.
You
know
have
been
very
vocal
about
the
arsenic
triangle
and
that
and
so
there's
some
folks
that
I
think
could
be
this.
This
list
of
contracted
community
groups.
I
think
there's
some
people
who
are
missing
from
the
queue.
O
Absolutely-
and
that
is
another
gap
that
we
identified
in
our
review,
and
we
are
following
up
through
our
engagement
services,
folks,
who
have
more
established
relationships,
in
particular
with
indigenous
people
in
the
native
american
community,
to
identify
additional
groups
that
may
want
to
join
the
cohort
or
just
to
be
familiar
with
the
process.
But
we
also
know
that
you
know
this
is
a
tough
time
for
groups
to
commit
capacity-wise
to
take
on
additional
work,
just
knowing
with
covet
and
the
many
other
things
that
are
going
on
that
are
challenging.
O
S
And
last
question:
how
are
you
getting
past
the
the
issue
that
right
now
hennepin
county
can
is
not
or
can
not
do
any
public
sitting
public
gatherings?
How
are
you
moving
forward
to
gather
the
information
you
need
put
together,
help
drive
the
plan
yet
where
our
hands
are
tied
behind
our
back
because
of
covid.
O
Yeah,
that's
one
of
the
challenges.
Another
tough
question,
where
we've
kind
of
the
first
assignment
with
the
cohort
is
to
help
us
figure
out.
We
know
we
can
do
outdoor
engagement,
but
unfortunately,
in
minnesota
in
april
it's
still
kind
of
winter,
not
the
spring.
We
want
it
to
be
so
we'll
be
figuring
that
out
and
looking
to
see
where
potentially
exceptions
could
be
made.
So
groups
that
may
be
in
schools,
for
example,
or
if
there
are
is
a.
O
I
know,
like
the
the
thai
cultural
council,
was
talking
about
at
temple,
they're,
they're
gathering,
and
so
there
may
be
in-person
opportunities,
but
we
have
to
kind
of
navigate
that
with
individual
groups,
but
it
is
important
to
the
county
that
public
health
is
is
a
priority,
as
the
county
is
a
public
health
authority.
So
we
have
to
follow
the
the
covet
protocols
as
best.
S
I
guess
I
would
also
I
would
marry
the
whole
thrust
right
now.
Around
a
number
of
organizations,
minnesota
350
project,
sweetie,
pie
and
a
whole
other
bunch
of
organizations
are
advancing
strategies
and
tactics
for
addressing
global
warming.
Climate
change
is
there
a
way
for
to
insert
some
of
that
wisdom
and
some
of
that
needed
information
and
marketing
and
outreach?
Could
we
wed
some
of
those
concerns
to
your
existing
strategy
around
this
stuff.
O
I
mean,
I
think,
and
maybe
ben
or
carolyn
can
talk
specifically
about
the
the
climate,
but
I
mean
there
definitely
is
huge
climate
benefits
to
a
zero
waste
future
so
they're.
Definitely
we
see
that
that
is
likely
a
thread
that
will
come
a
theme
that
will
come
out
of
the
engagement
work
and
what
we
hear
from
community
there
will
be
ample
opportunities.
I
think
for
groups
like
you
mentioned
to
participate,
and
we
do
have
another
group
of
sort
of
stakeholder
kind
of
industry
association
engagement.
B
B
A
A
I
completely
failed
to
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
then,
if
there's
any
announcements
that
folks
want
to
share
and
then
we'll
wrap
up,
does
that
sound
okay,
seeing
some
nods
all
right?
Okay,
do
we
have
a
motion
to
perhaps
adopt
an
amended
agenda
since
we're
not
going
to
get
to
all
of
our
agenda
items
tonight
and
the
minutes
from
the
last
two
meetings
I
had
included
attachments
to
our
meeting
reminder
emails
for
both
december
7th
and
our
joint
meeting
with
southside
green
zone
on
january
5th.
A
C
C
R
L
R
M
I
I
A
A
A
K
Sure,
yeah
yeah
without
the
county
here
I
would
just
like
to-
I
think,
say
I
I
kind
of
said
it,
but
you
know
for
those
who
are
interested
in
closing
down
the
herc
and
we
like
we,
we
have
a
fact
sheet
that
we
would
love
to
share
around.
I
think
like
we
couldn't
go
into
extensive
detail
but
like
there
is
a
lot
of
research
and
information
about
why
that
facility
is
dangerous
and
the
the
health
impacts
that
it
has
and
the
climate
impacts.
K
But
this
zero
waste
plan
is,
you
know
we
were
trying
to
get
there
like.
It
is
an
opportunity
to
push
the
county
to
build
like
to
do
this
correctly,
to
to
phase
the
herc
out
and
properly
introduce
zero
waste
in
you
know
all
the
zero
waste
kind
of
infrastructure,
but
we
also.
I
think
this
is
a
real
risk.
K
We
cannot
use
this
zero,
but
we
cannot
allow
the
zero
waste
plan
to
be
an
excuse
to
pretend
they're
doing
something
about
waste,
and
I
think
you
saw
it
like
the
answer
from
carolyn
was
when
we
asked
will
this
include
phase
out
of
the
herc?
Her
response
was
like
when
we
get
to
zero
waste,
which
basically
means
never.
A
Thanks
nazir-
and
I
think
you
know-
leslie's-
dropped
her
contact
information
in
the
chat
so
and
nizir.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
as
well
or
want
to
now.
I
can
also
share
their
contact
information
out
to
the
whole
group,
but
feel
free
to
follow
up
with
them
directly
if
you're
interested
and
then
kelly.
A
A
J
R
A
All
right,
so
here's
the
results
from
the
green
zone,
stipend
survey,
so
in
case
you
can't
see
what
the
screen
is
saying,
this
large
blue
section,
which
is
60
of
responses,
and
we
had
16
between
north
side
and
south
side
plus
a
few
who
sent
me
comments
directly
that
didn't
make
it
directly
into
the
survey
but
their
yes,
members
should
receive
stipends,
there's
only
one
vote
out
of
all
the
16.
That
said,
no
and
the
rest
of
the
individual
votes
were
sort
of
yes
and
here's
some
additional
information.
A
A
So
it's
it
sort
of
seemed
like
there
was
more
preference
for
50
per
hour,
but
there
was
also
about
a
third
of
folks
said:
they
wanted
a
set
amount
per
meeting
rather
than
amount
per
per
hour.
So,
as
I
was
talking
about
southside
green
zone
last
week,
I
thought
you
know
maybe
to
split
the
difference.
We
would
do
like
75
dollars
per
meeting
or
something
like
that.
A
So,
basically,
everybody
said
participating
in
the
monthly
meetings
and
then
there
was
also
strong
support
for
folks
who
are
participating
in
additional
planning
meetings
or
committees,
so
that
would
be
green
zone
summit
planning,
community
air
monitoring
meetings
potentially
and
if
there
are
any
other
groups
like
pretend
the
upper
harbor
terminal
traffic
emissions
group.
If
and
when
they
start
meeting.
So
that's
those
are
the
results.
The
ones
that
I
received
via
email
or
phone
call
basically
also
were
in
the
same
line
as
these
they
didn't
contradict.
A
So
unless
there's
any
disagreement
as
next
steps,
what
I
will
do
is
create
a
budget
estimate
for
70.5
dollars
per
meeting
for
that
for
those
meetings
for
from
the
beginning
of
this
year
through
the
end
of
the
year.
I
can
share
that
total
number
out
at
our
next
meeting
and
then
I
will
start
working
on
doing
sort
of
starting
to
calculate
the
attendance
and
then
payments
that
would
go
for
each
for
everybody.
When
we've
done
stipends
in
the
past,
we've
paid
quarterly.
A
So
I
would
propose
that
we
move
forward
with
that
as
well.
So
the
first
quarter
for
this
year
we
would
go.
Have
all
any
meetings
that
went
through
the
end
of
march
would
be
the
first
quarter.
Then
I
would
put
together
the
invoices
if
anyone
hasn't
yet
ever
received
a
payment
from
the
city
we'll
have
to
go
through
a
vendor
registration
process.
A
So
I
will
talk
you
through
that
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
hassle,
but
it's
it
you'll
get
through
it
and
then,
if
anyone
has
any
concerns
about
receiving
a
1099
at
the
end
of
the
year,
anyone
who
does
get
over
600
from
the
city
will
receive
that
and
it
will
be
taxable
income.
If
you
have
any
concerns
about
that,
just
communicate
with
me
when
I
follow
up
with
you
about
getting
your
payments,
any
questions
about
the
stipends.
A
B
Bye
roxanne
also,
I
like
to
add
that
I've
been
looking
for
grants
to
do
some
more
supportive
for
different
entities
like
roxanne's
healings,
and
now
we
got
the
upper
harbor
terminal
thing
happening,
the
edible
garden.
So
I'm
just
looking
for
more
grants
to
support
us
as
greeting
zones
and
kelly,
and
I
are
working
together
to
write
those
grants,
so
we
can
get
funding
to
come
in
for
our
different
projects.
So
you
guys
know
I'm
working
very
hard
to
make
us
happen.
A
L
Yeah
just
one
one
last
thing
and
and
having
that
approved,
so
I
know
that
you
had
shared
out
a
file
on
the
2022
budget
and
having
that
the
understanding
of
stipends
kind
of
figured
it
out.
I
just
urge
everyone
to
take
a
look
at
that
document
so
that
we
can
be
prepared
to
talk
about
it
at
the
next
meeting.
