We have requested and received the funding to bring in Eco-cycle for two days. What we need are volunteers and coordination. This is a great opportunity for service but also an opportunity to educate the community on composting and recycling. There are two main asks of the board outside of general volunteering on these dates. 1 Advertising – Raising awareness, possibly posting at the Community Center and elsewhere. Christiaan volunteered to be key person for advertising. 2 Getting volunteers – which includes consideration for education. It would be nice to have BoT members and/or the Mayor. Also need to find a group to do curbside pickup – boyscounts, girlscouts, 4h, local high school? Last year the boyscouts helped by offering pickup in a couple of neighborhoods. Last year there was some materials and the boards had some tables set up. It would be good to have Posters, banners, signage, etc. • Quick update on Electric Vehicle Pilot for the Town • Tom reported that Phil (Nathaniel) has resigned from the board, but wants to stay involved as an electric vehicle consultant. They were discussing a EV pilot proposal. We will carry this forward to next months agenda. The BOT looking for replacement. • Discuss 9/19 Sustainability Master Plan study session and any changes to the approach, grant for professional writer.
