Motion passed unanimously. SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES • Jonathan stated that he tabled at the Ogden Farmers Market and with the help of Riley and Taylor Lee, they handed out recycling coloring books and had a recycling activity at the table. Jonathan reported it was a great opportunity for community engagement. He is planning on tabling again on September 3 rd at the Ogden Farmers Market. If you are interested in helping, please let him know. • The Committee also suggested reaching out to the schools in Ogden School District to see if they could table at their back-to-school nights. Aimee will reach out to Ben Lomond and Dan will reach out to Greenwood Charter School to see what they have to offer. HB411 UPDATES • Mara reported that the City has made the 2nd installment payment towards the CREA participation. She also reported that in the proposed city budget there will be a Sustainability Coordinator position created. This person would be tasked with creating a sustainability plan for the city as well as staffing the Sustainability Committee and other duties pertaining to sustainability. With the creation of this position, the Sustainability Sub-Committee that was created to encourage the City to add this position will no longer be needed. 1|Page COMMITTEE OPEN DISCUSSION • The Committee discussed Vice-Chair options since Aimee has now been placed as Chair. Jonathan Melton volunteered to be Vice-Chair. Dan Bedford made a motion to appoint Jonathan to Vice-Chair. Adam Tobey seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. • The Committee discussed the meeting schedule. Currently meetings are being held monthly, however the committee rules state that a meeting has to be held at least quarterly. The Committee decided to change the meeting schedule to every other month, on the 4th Thursday at 4:00 pm, instead of holding meetings monthly with the idea that more community outreach could be done during the off months. Jonathan Melton made a motion to approve the meeting change. Dan Bedford seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. • We currently have six new member applications that we were going to send forward to the Mayor and City Council, however after mapping their districts, most of the applications fall into district 4. The committee rules state that we should have a diverse membership from each district in the City when possible. Mara and Jay are currently reviewing these applications and are holding them for now to decide how to proceed. Active recruiting could be done to gain more membership for the north side districts. • Jay gave an update on EV charging stations in the city. The City is ready to go with several stations, however Rocky Mountain Power hasn’t caught up with us yet. The Weber State EV Charging Station Study was taken into consideration when deciding where to place several of the EV charging stations. • This will be Adam Tobey’s last meeting since he is moving out of state and resigning from the Committee. We wish him the best on his endeavors and have enjoyed having him on the Committee. PUBLIC COMMENT • There were no members of the public that attended the meeting.
