Wow. I didn't move the slides back up in the correct order, but they're in here. 60 00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:10,770 They're in here. So what we'll get through this. Okay, so what you're seeing here is the most 61 00:07:10,770 --> 00:07:18,470 current information provided by the frame. So in comparison to last month's meeting, you'll see 62 00:07:18,470 --> 00:07:22,550 that while last month we did receive quite a lot of rain, we didn't receive nearly as much 63 00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:28,470 this month and it does show, especially there in the Northern Panhandle area. But in our area, 64 00:07:28,470 --> 00:07:33,850 We've got a little bit severe rating to have normally to moderately dry. 65 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:43,340 The estimated population in drought area increased by a little over a thousand, actually approximately 66 00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:46,360 thousands, just under a thousand water 67 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,480 levels. 68 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,960 We are still near the top of the conservation pool, so we're still sitting at least close 69 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,080 to a hundred percent, if not quite at a hundred percent, thankfully. 70 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:15,240 And then, in terms of cubic feet per second and the MSL, fairly consistent numbers, however, 71 00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:20,440 this was updated on the 19th and the previous one I believe was, let me see, on the 4th. 72 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,580 So not quite a much of a time variance between the two, which might explain why there hasn't 73 00:08:25,580 --> 00:08:27,680 been more of a change between them. 74 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,520 But essentially, kind of in the same areas, stage two critical drought, the area is still, 75 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:38,860 I believe in stage three, if I'm correctly, at least from the last city council meeting. 76 00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:40,880 We were still in stage three draw conditions. 77 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,800 Looking at historical data down at the bottom, again, we're still showing our reservoir 78 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:56,000 information at 100%, significantly better to where we were a year ago at this time. 79 00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:58,240 So thank goodness for that. 80 00:09:01,820 --> 00:09:04,120 And then this is just the comparison to last month's information. 81 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,120 Purple 82 00:09:08,670 --> 00:09:14,130 air monitoring 61, so we're still in that moderate range, and again, the monitor 83 00:09:14,130 --> 00:09:20,370 is actually in the enclosed parking area within the PD building, 84 00:09:24,650 --> 00:09:26,030 comparison last month's 85 00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:27,230 number fairly 86 00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:31,500 similar. 87 00:09:37,260 --> 00:09:40,120 Oh, let me go back up to the proper slide. 88 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:40,640 I 89 00:09:42,660 --> 00:09:43,680 believe that's right one. 90 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,940 Oh, yes, okay, there we go. 91 00:09:46,940 --> 00:09:47,840 Update 92 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:56,320 and discussion regarding current status and continuing efforts for the City of 93 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,780 as International Dark Sky Association Community Cert. 94 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:29,220 Application, application. Okay, so little and there's not even like an individual slide for this, so it's just kind of kind of discussion. Little has changed since the last update back in, I believe, May was the last time the commission discussed it. Basically, what had happened was during in April, city council meeting, the council had voted to continue the city's efforts to continue, 95 00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:39,380 dark skies of policies or in the words essentially the lighting ordinances within the zoning section, 96 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:47,800 section two of the UDC. What had been the big sticking point in the past kind of keeping us 97 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:55,880 from getting that final certification was largely sign illumination policies regarding after-hours. 98 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:25,380 Essentially what it had come down to is many of the commercial properties within the city were not willing to kind of bend in that direction and the council kind of reflected that that standing as a result talking with the dark sky or international dark sky association what they had what they had offered was the possibility of a pilot program for I believe it was called night sky communities. 99 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:32,720 where it was basically in that direction but kind of a lighter qualification in order to 100 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:39,120 be able to have some form of dark sky association certification in order to be able to keep 101 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,420 those ordinances within our UDC, you know, within what the state allows. 102 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:51,700 Reaching out to international dark sky association, there are still in the processes of actually 103 00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,180 kind of nilling down what that pilot program is going to look like. 104 00:11:54,180 --> 00:12:04,140 So unfortunately, I don't have a lot new to say in terms of progress, you know, outside of we're still in contact with them, they're still in the process of trying to actually, you know, 105 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:16,080 hammer out what those what those policies are going to be in order to achieve certification, get back to us, make it kind of an official thing so we can kind of finish out what's going to what's going to happen with that. 106 00:12:17,420 --> 00:12:25,200 As far as actual individual changes between what's required for the dark sky association 107 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,580 and the night sky community certification, I am unaware. 108 00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:36,200 So we'll have to see what those are whenever they actually have that certified or approved. 109 00:12:36,740 --> 00:12:38,140 I have a quick question about that. 110 00:12:38,140 --> 00:12:49,180 So are we taking our own independent action regardless of, or are we just in a wait and hold 111 00:12:50,140 --> 00:12:55,980 position with this? And my question is really coming from, you know, the whole thing about 112 00:12:55,980 --> 00:13:06,180 signage is, is I am sure there is some depreciation schedule that that signage is on from the install, 113 00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:28,560 And if, whether they have seven-year straight line depreciation or what have you, would we be looking at when that depreciation expires to be able to maybe either make an incentive program to have somebody change what that signage is so that we could have a transition period to something else? 114 00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:37,040 or some type of movement there, just because they were unable and willing to make change, 115 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:43,100 I get the depreciation, the value of that depreciation for that. 116 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:49,040 But if we're looking at commercial depreciation, could we say at the end of that commercial depreciation 117 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,420 period, we are going to offer some sort of incentive for them to make a change? 118 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,420 I'm unaware of any, I guess, of any of outreach to achieve that. 119 00:14:02,020 --> 00:14:07,580 What are, what are current, current ordinance to say essentially, in other words, 120 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:13,400 what, what the Darsky certification had requested or had, is it one of their essential 121 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:19,580 outline elements was to turn off illumination after hours. 122 00:14:19,580 --> 00:14:28,420 in other words, whenever the service structure was no longer occupied, excuse me, signage would 123 00:14:28,420 --> 00:14:29,740 be shut off. 124 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:42,780 What is actually in our UDC currently is that the light output is actually reduced to 125 00:14:42,780 --> 00:14:43,200 a certain amount. 126 00:14:43,220 --> 00:14:46,620 I believe it's 1,000 nits, past a certain point, 127 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,080 and that's about it. 128 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:59,940 Now, as far as what occurs whenever signage is replaced, replace... 129 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,440 Government of any signage are essentially required as a new permit, 130 00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:11,300 and new permits are required to adhere to current UDC policies. So there's no, 131 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,320 there's no vesting as far as that's concerned. 132 00:15:21,650 --> 00:15:29,470 What that'll do is, you know, for example, say company A undergoes a branding change. 133 00:15:29,970 --> 00:15:38,710 In other words, same property owner, same franchisee, but the logo has changed for some 134 00:15:38,710 --> 00:15:38,970 reason. 135 00:15:39,050 --> 00:15:39,610 It's been updated. 136 00:15:39,830 --> 00:15:41,450 They've changed the colors on it. 137 00:15:41,470 --> 00:15:42,970 It might have a different advancement like that. 138 00:15:43,370 --> 00:15:46,930 Whenever they go in to reface that sign, they have to bring them so they have to bring 139 00:15:46,930 --> 00:15:54,190 sign up to the current signage code, which includes some portion of lighting policy. 140 00:15:55,370 --> 00:15:59,870 Likewise, if you have a change of ownership and they have to change out the face of the 141 00:15:59,870 --> 00:16:05,570 sign for literally a new information going up, they would have to do the same. 142 00:16:06,610 --> 00:16:09,830 So that's kind of blanket across all properties. 143 00:16:11,190 --> 00:16:15,550 Kind of repeating what I said earlier, I don't believe we've offered any kind of incentive 144 00:16:15,550 --> 00:16:18,590 for doing so. So staff might look into that. 145 00:16:18,890 --> 00:16:27,170 Yeah, because let's say I'm ABC company and I've had my signage since 1994, I'm feeling 146 00:16:27,170 --> 00:16:34,630 pretty sexy about it and I'm not feeling any need to change it. Now, had that depreciation 147 00:16:34,630 --> 00:16:41,730 already expired on it, you're not getting that tax credit, if we are connecting some sort 148 00:16:41,730 --> 00:16:59,190 incentive, financial incentive with a sustainability outcome, right, that says, hey, you've had that sign since 1994, you no longer have depreciation value, right, that you're writing that off of your taxes. 149 00:16:59,490 --> 00:17:09,110 What if we connected that spend with some sort of tax credit so that it brings you in line? 150 00:17:09,110 --> 00:17:18,770 with the sustainability standards. It is an incentive for them to upgrade, make that change, 151 00:17:19,030 --> 00:17:27,070 and connecting the financial incentive to move off of that sign they've had since 1994. 152 00:17:28,070 --> 00:17:37,610 All right, so that we're putting together the financial qualifications in order to move our sustainability efforts forward, 153 00:17:37,610 --> 00:17:43,410 it in this case for International Dark Sky Association certification. 154 00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:51,210 Okay, I'm not certain if the city can, city itself can necessarily extend that possibly. 155 00:17:53,070 --> 00:17:57,830 That might require talks with the EDC, the Economic Development Corporation. 156 00:17:58,550 --> 00:18:02,490 So we could possibly reach out to that staff and see if there's something that can be done 157 00:18:03,170 --> 00:18:03,910 for those purposes. 158 00:18:03,910 --> 00:18:08,150 Yeah, so this is kind of a standard thing with other communities. 159 00:18:08,530 --> 00:18:09,570 And so there's examples. 160 00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:14,370 This is not breaking new ground, other than perhaps breaking new ground here in pewda. 161 00:18:15,130 --> 00:18:23,250 But that sort of, if you, let's say we look at any of these, I just unfortunately had to 162 00:18:23,250 --> 00:18:25,730 change my HVAC unit. 163 00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:31,570 And I'm going to get $600 from the state for having energy efficiency go up. 164 00:18:31,570 --> 00:18:36,070 And then there's like another $300, that's going to come from PEC, right? 165 00:18:37,010 --> 00:18:41,850 You go and get these things that are like energy star certified and such. 166 00:18:42,090 --> 00:18:52,150 There was a financial incentive that went along for you to upgrade to new equipment that 167 00:18:52,150 --> 00:18:54,410 was more energy efficient, right? 168 00:18:54,410 --> 00:19:02,230 And what I'm suggesting is that we tie those together with the idea that, hey, if we're 169 00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:10,010 taking these really out of date type of, whether it's from energy usage, whether it's light 170 00:19:10,010 --> 00:19:18,250 pollution, whatever it may be, and tie that incentive so that companies, right, and so they'll 171 00:19:18,250 --> 00:19:25,310 achieve that benefit, right? Financial incentive. And then of course, they'll also have the depreciation 172 00:19:25,310 --> 00:19:32,170 again on whatever thing knew that they have. So tying those things and thinking about it like an 173 00:19:32,170 --> 00:19:32,990 energy store. 174 00:19:40,550 --> 00:19:47,670 I think in our current UDC it has some sort of a clause I think where you have to, 175 00:19:47,670 --> 00:19:59,730 If you have to replace a fixture, because it becomes effective no longer works, you have to comply with the new standards. 176 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:29,760 Is that my understanding that correctly? I'll have to see. For public lighting, yes. For private, I can't recall. If that's part of, I believe it is. I mean, I'll phrase it this way. Under kind of similar circumstances, whenever you have a change out of ownership or a new use, they essentially have to go through some form of development process again. Yes, that does kick it in. Certainly anything that would require a site plan would require. 177 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:38,500 or new photometrics, that would come in a question when it would come down to any individual 178 00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:43,380 external fixtures. Again, I'm not certain if it does call for that or not. 179 00:20:44,820 --> 00:20:51,660 Okay, so let's, another scenario. What about this new HEB that's going in over there off 180 00:20:51,660 --> 00:20:57,780 an old San Antonio? Will they be complying with the newest UDC on lighting provisions? 181 00:21:01,130 --> 00:21:06,190 I'll have to look at their agreement to see if they're if they're vested to an older policy or not. 182 00:21:08,940 --> 00:21:10,760 I'll have to find out, you know, and I'll be. 183 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:20,660 HB has a strong sustainability department and there are direct officials over there that you can do outreach to. 184 00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:38,160 Which I'll be able to find that pretty quickly actually because that's I mean that those that site plan is currently under review. 185 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:44,900 So, I can actually ask the individual if that is reviewing it, which UDC are they going under current or a previous, 186 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:51,280 you know, or perhaps something else, but yeah, I'm actually not quite certain which one they're being reviewed under. 187 00:22:09,710 --> 00:22:16,790 Discussion regarding the Sustainability Commission Plan of Action for 2026, 2027. 188 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:32,320 So something, and this is kind of tied together with a commission requested to come in from the 189 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:38,720 pre-use meeting, but just in general, one thing that kind of needs to happen between now and 190 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:45,060 at least early next years, we kind of need to get back on track and actually setting aside our 191 00:22:45,060 --> 00:22:51,640 creating goals for what's happening in the future. And admittedly throughout the course of 2026, 192 00:22:53,820 --> 00:22:59,240 We, when I say we, I don't necessarily mean, you know, just in general that we've had 193 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,600 kind of a hard time keeping on track with that. 194 00:23:01,820 --> 00:23:04,680 So we're going to kind of strive to sort of get back on that. 195 00:23:05,060 --> 00:23:10,400 So in general, in terms of plan of action, what we're kind of looking for is, at least on 196 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:17,420 the staff side of things, adherence to strategies and goals that are outlined in MUDA strategic 197 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:18,760 documentation. 198 00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:25,300 That being said, I'm not sure if you all have actually seen that individually other than 199 00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:28,420 what might have been published by the council itself, so what I can do after this meeting 200 00:23:28,420 --> 00:23:33,860 is actually send that out to the group, so everyone can see it and I might highlight the things 201 00:23:33,860 --> 00:23:37,140 that are probably are more like sustainability centered. 202 00:23:38,540 --> 00:23:46,660 For example, you see here under the Hayes art competition, the monarch pledges one of those 203 00:23:46,660 --> 00:23:51,800 things that actually is a outlist, is listed as one of those goals we're supposed to do, 204 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,440 dark sky, obviously for example. 205 00:23:56,180 --> 00:24:00,040 So I'll do that and we'll kind of use that as a basis 206 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,800 to kind of assemble this plan of action over the course of the next couple of meetings. 207 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:11,120 So perhaps during the next meeting I can or staff could put together a what 208 00:24:13,490 --> 00:24:13,870 is the term 209 00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:18,570 I'm looking for, a work session to have that we can actually kind of discuss what things we might 210 00:24:18,570 --> 00:24:23,570 want to look at for that. And what you see here on this slide is just a couple of events 211 00:24:23,570 --> 00:24:28,930 to kind of consider on that. And I also probably should have actually put this next to it. 212 00:24:29,010 --> 00:24:34,810 But I had these kind of carried over from the last month in terms of some of the events 213 00:24:34,810 --> 00:24:41,390 we're looking at for the rest of the year. But a few that I wanted to highlight, of course, 214 00:24:41,390 --> 00:24:49,270 Texas Arbor Day, 1st Friday of November, so probably will get drafted between now in 215 00:24:49,270 --> 00:24:54,850 the next meeting is a proclamation so that we can actually get that to administrative 216 00:24:54,850 --> 00:24:59,130 staff and see if we can have something for that 1st Friday. 217 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,080 And that being said, 218 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:17,280 if the commission is up to it, I propose that we perhaps have another meeting in October for that reason that we can kind of agree on things before anything is actually handed over for city council to consider. 219 00:25:22,180 --> 00:25:34,460 Outside of that, I believe two meetings ago, I had mentioned the Great Texas River annual fall or spring river cleanup. They do one in October and one on March. 220 00:25:34,460 --> 00:25:40,020 And I apologize because that kind of gives us short notice for the October 3rd one. 221 00:25:40,460 --> 00:25:46,780 The staff has reached out to Texas State University kind of inquiring some more information 222 00:25:46,780 --> 00:25:47,460 about this. 223 00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:54,780 What kind of events they might have as far as the third just kind of getting a feel from 224 00:25:54,780 --> 00:25:59,660 the group might you be interested for any kind of October participation again. 225 00:25:59,660 --> 00:26:04,200 Again, I do realize that that's come out very quickly if we are. 226 00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:06,920 So what ended up happening is, again, 227 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:14,240 an October 1st meeting where we might kind of list out what they have available that the state of the commission and 228 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:22,440 or the public might be involved in and actually vote what we might want to be involved with on those. 229 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:29,320 Staff might also have to reach out to crowds and see if we can post on social media what events. 230 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:34,140 the beauty community might be able to get involved with that for October 3rd. 231 00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:44,800 So even if October 3rd is maybe a little too close, again, they also have a spring entry for essentially the same activities. 232 00:26:48,490 --> 00:27:01,110 I know that October 3rd does not work for me personally, but if this could be a hurry up for others and somebody would want to participate and take that under their belt. 233 00:27:02,110 --> 00:27:07,950 Great. If not, we'd head up for the March activity. 234 00:27:13,820 --> 00:27:28,000 I already know that the October one can't work for me, but the March one, what I like about that is that we could, and I'm not, I've not been real thrilled about our trash off. 235 00:27:28,340 --> 00:27:28,420 Yeah. 236 00:27:28,420 --> 00:27:34,820 So, like, let's put our beans into this river clean up instead, anyway, that was my thought 237 00:27:34,820 --> 00:27:35,160 on it. 238 00:27:39,890 --> 00:27:45,190 Yeah, I like that idea, especially because March is, I mean, not that close, but close 239 00:27:45,190 --> 00:27:50,370 to April to where if we do have something going on for Earth Day and everything, like, 240 00:27:50,570 --> 00:27:54,430 and we go to this event, we could kind of start spreading that around as well, because I 241 00:27:54,430 --> 00:27:58,710 mean Sam Marcus is right there, and I'm sure there'll be other haze people there and 242 00:27:58,710 --> 00:28:01,390 what not, but yeah, I agree, March. 243 00:28:01,390 --> 00:28:05,830 Yeah, and I'd like to reinvent what Earth Week looks like. 244 00:28:05,870 --> 00:28:09,130 I think that's much more, and when we have our work sessions, 245 00:28:09,630 --> 00:28:17,010 it's much more communicative rather than performative in this sense of trying to 246 00:28:17,010 --> 00:28:19,990 get people involved and clean up and such. 247 00:28:20,490 --> 00:28:24,630 I think that if we can communicate one that we exist here, 248 00:28:24,630 --> 00:28:32,230 what are sustainability policies? What does, you know, be monarch and pollinator mean? 249 00:28:32,810 --> 00:28:42,630 Right? Why do we count old growth trees? Right. Even if we just had it as a big FAQ, 250 00:28:43,030 --> 00:28:48,370 what does this city do? Why are we doing that? Why do you see people doing it? Why do we give away 251 00:28:48,370 --> 00:28:56,210 little trees on Arbor Day? Why, like, just why? Right? What are these purple ear monitors? 252 00:28:56,590 --> 00:29:02,630 What do they do? Right? Why do we tell you we're in stage three drought? It rained 253 00:29:02,630 --> 00:29:10,230 last week. How do we measure those things? These are the kinds of truly confusing oftentimes 254 00:29:10,230 --> 00:29:19,090 have like service messages and if we could personally communicate these in some way around 255 00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:27,630 community oriented engagement, I think we could make something not only really successful 256 00:29:27,630 --> 00:29:34,510 from a communication standpoint, but really fun, you know, I'd like to see that. 257 00:29:37,260 --> 00:29:46,120 I love that idea because I do think like you kind of touched on people will probably feel like they don't really want to go pick up trash. 258 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:59,700 I don't know. I mean, I think it's great and everything. Yeah, but like, I think if it is like more of like, I don't know like a form or something, something fun where you're like learning and everything kids could find it very entertaining. 259 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,320 The parents there and everything and whatnot, but I think there would be a much better turnout was something like that versus the trash off, especially because it's always so hot during that time. Yeah, where it's like really early in the morning, and I'm sure we were like, no, it's like Saturday. I'm not going to go to 100%. The other thing I was thinking about, I know this sounds crazy, but I really like it is I would love to have like a display with an amp farm. One, because no child is going to bypass it. 260 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:37,100 And two, like it's an open-door conversation around almost everything we need to talk 261 00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:47,040 about, water, soil health, trees, right, all the things that we talk about here could 262 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:52,840 really come together, even with just a simple display, weirdly enough, like an amplifier. 263 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,700 I'm sorry, I gave that to my niece when they were young. 264 00:30:55,700 --> 00:31:01,220 my sister was gonna like murder me, but they loved it as like one of their favorite little gifts, 265 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:07,080 you know, because you just watch it. I think like we could, if we have displays like just simple 266 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,800 little things like that could be really awful. 267 00:31:14,830 --> 00:31:17,850 Yeah, I love that ant farm idea and I've seen other 268 00:31:18,770 --> 00:31:23,430 display ideas as well like I know that there's something that you can like put together to like kind of 269 00:31:23,430 --> 00:31:29,110 show like the dark skies and everything, you know, and I'm sure it's kind of like an easy project to 270 00:31:29,110 --> 00:31:32,930 throw together or whatever, but I'm sure there's like different displays that we could 271 00:31:33,790 --> 00:31:40,410 think about until the time comes and get prepared for and I think it will make everybody 272 00:31:40,410 --> 00:31:41,230 very excited. 273 00:31:41,730 --> 00:31:41,870 Right. 274 00:31:42,210 --> 00:31:50,350 I think we can do some really creative low cost things that help express, you know, the 275 00:31:51,270 --> 00:31:57,830 interconnectedness of these different things that we do and also put it in like an FAQ 276 00:31:57,830 --> 00:32:06,650 type of situation where people ask questions and where we get to answer them. Why do it? Why does 277 00:32:06,650 --> 00:32:11,470 this look like this? Why does this city do this? What gets provided? Hey, there's a purple 278 00:32:11,470 --> 00:32:16,550 air monitor. If you see it around town, number one, don't touch it and take it. Number two, right? 279 00:32:16,950 --> 00:32:19,170 This is what it's there for. That's what it does. 280 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,820 So, when we have our work plan, just putting 281 00:32:27,820 --> 00:32:34,520 together to like solidify what that looks like, right? And also in the work plan, 282 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,660 as you can put that together for that day, is what would be our budget for some of these 283 00:32:39,660 --> 00:32:45,100 events? Because I'd like to organize, hey, here's active events where we're engaging 284 00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:53,220 with the community. These are some other activities or planning things that we would like to see 285 00:32:53,220 --> 00:33:02,580 inside, inside of conversation points, so we can segment out where resources go, you know, 286 00:33:02,660 --> 00:33:07,360 because we haven't really been, hey, we've got a budget and we'd really like to do all these 287 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:13,620 things. What would be our budget if we're putting together the annual plan for the activities 288 00:33:13,620 --> 00:33:22,040 that we would like to do, you know? And also things on that work plan as well as having 289 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:30,380 having your staff, not our staff, your staff go out and talk to H.O.A.s about water, 290 00:33:30,660 --> 00:33:35,400 about grass, about all the things that we've been talking about. I don't know about y'all, 291 00:33:35,580 --> 00:33:43,860 I still work full time all the time. So I got to write that, how do we formulate that next 292 00:33:43,860 --> 00:33:50,440 level of looking at water conservation, and what can we do? 293 00:33:51,220 --> 00:33:54,420 All right, so I'd love to see that for 2027 as well. 294 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:02,580 Yes, I totally agree with that, especially with all the new developments that we have coming and everything. 295 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,700 I think it's very pertinent right now. 296 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,480 And listen, you know, just put my sustainability hat on from my background. 297 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:16,000 There's four areas in everybody's sustainability, 298 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,320 that you know, plan that you look at as what we talk about. 299 00:34:20,740 --> 00:34:25,000 There's waste, our TDS, things that we engage with 300 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,240 and ask about our site. 301 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,460 There's water, which is obviously a huge thing going on now. 302 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,960 It's not even people living here, it's a data center, right? 303 00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:37,300 So we have waste water toxins, right? 304 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,980 Hey, we're going to be making batteries. 305 00:34:40,700 --> 00:34:51,460 and from that manufacturing plant, what happens to the waste? Right? We've got toxins that are going out and the last one is energy. 306 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:57,700 These are the four things that everybody deals with waste, water, toxins, and energy. 307 00:34:57,700 --> 00:34:59,760 And that's across hatching. 308 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:13,080 When we're talking about programs or making impactful changes, those are the areas that we're talking about. Okay? So I'd like for us to think about that in the work. 309 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:46,180 Turn that on. Kind of report on recent developments with TDS. As of October 1st, in addition to your 10 paper or lawn bags, you may request a 96-gallon TDS green waste cart. 310 00:35:46,180 --> 00:35:53,000 And as I understand it, what these will essentially do is they'll alternate with the recycling bin. 311 00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:03,110 That is correct. That's their current service. One week, they pick up recycling. Next week, 312 00:36:03,250 --> 00:36:07,890 they pick up green waste. Every week, they pick up trash. That's the current service. 313 00:36:08,210 --> 00:36:08,410 Okay. 314 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:19,840 And I believe this should be posted to social media pretty well, obviously, before 315 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,040 or talk to me first, but pretty soon. 316 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,240 I have a question. 317 00:36:27,580 --> 00:36:30,820 Did this come about because of the new contract 318 00:36:30,820 --> 00:36:31,740 that got negotiated? 319 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:33,720 I believe it did. 320 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,280 Can we currently request paper lawn bags? 321 00:36:41,310 --> 00:36:42,280 I didn't know that. 322 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,580 I know, but it looks like this. 323 00:36:46,540 --> 00:36:48,700 In addition to, you may request, 324 00:36:49,420 --> 00:36:53,060 I'm like, that way I read it implies 325 00:36:53,060 --> 00:36:57,360 You can request paper long bags. I don't think they supply, I'm no. 326 00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:59,840 Anybody have a camera seeing that? 327 00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:21,120 Yeah, I also believe in addition to the, and I think I have the weeks correct on this, but I think in addition to the green waste picket pickup, you can have flattened cardboard for pickup as well on the green waste week, I think. 328 00:37:24,380 --> 00:37:29,160 I did not put cardboard in my recycling bin. 329 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,980 I mean, it has to be bound, but I think that's correct. 330 00:37:32,180 --> 00:37:33,880 I might check on that to be certain. 331 00:37:34,180 --> 00:37:41,780 If we could do that, and not to be a crank on this, but what items go in green waste? 332 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:48,700 The no, not in green waste and then showing the trash and having the same color is not helpful? 333 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:56,720 I think if we add no, I mean it's confusing and this is one of the problems for so many 334 00:37:56,720 --> 00:38:05,080 people who just put things willy-nilly because they just don't want to look to figure it 335 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:12,900 out. I would add a third column, I wouldn't call it trash, I call it landfill so that people 336 00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:19,900 connect the idea that there is no such thing as garbage, by the way, it just goes into landfill 337 00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:28,620 in your water, right? All the things that go in that count as trash, plastic line paper 338 00:38:28,620 --> 00:38:36,720 products that cannot be recycled, that goes into your waste stream, right? Wooden furniture 339 00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:42,500 that that should be hauled off or you get that in your one time, right? Because pretty much 340 00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:49,340 your wooden furniture done and fit into your trash bin, do you know, right? No, not 341 00:38:49,340 --> 00:38:54,600 green waste, plastic bags and food scraps, right? That's hard for people to understand 342 00:38:54,600 --> 00:39:02,060 that could be compost and food scraps. So if we added, here's what goes in landfill 343 00:39:02,060 --> 00:39:11,920 and what is trash, right, goes in here. These are the things that go in green waste and these 344 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:17,240 are the things that recycle. Yes, yes, yes. 345 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,560 Because no, not in green waste, but then the trash can 346 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:32,340 doesn't, yes, I get that there's a black top and such. But it doesn't, it needs clarification 347 00:39:34,410 --> 00:39:39,110 if you're asking me. Agreed? Or am I just not that smart? 348 00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:53,450 you're talking about TDS is I don't know what it's not a meme but you know what I'm talking about the graphic yeah yeah it's it's really it's one of those what's 349 00:39:53,450 --> 00:39:59,950 different about these two pictures I'm like okay what's different about them what's different oh the lids are a different color that's all 350 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,320 All. Like, oh, that's hard. Make it. Right. Make it simple for me. 351 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:14,500 Right. Let's make these things simple for people to be able to be in compliance. 352 00:40:21,310 --> 00:40:37,630 I do see you can put pizza boxes in the greenways. I never would have guessed that. You can't put the dirty side, the greasy side has to go into landfill. The pizza box portion that does not have grease can go into the 353 00:40:37,630 --> 00:40:42,730 recycling so if your pizza hasn't touched the top of the box you can tear the 354 00:40:42,730 --> 00:40:52,010 top off and put that in for recycling and however the greasy part no does. They 355 00:40:52,010 --> 00:41:00,210 must be taken apart. But look here at their graphic I'll say in a food soiled 356 00:41:00,210 --> 00:41:06,010 paper they will let you put that in the green way. We're not talking recycling 357 00:41:06,010 --> 00:41:10,230 That's the first I've noticed that, that they've allowed that. 358 00:41:10,690 --> 00:41:11,730 Maybe they've had it before. 359 00:41:11,890 --> 00:41:20,270 I'm just in tea bags, but what's really interesting is I don't have a green waste, you know, 360 00:41:20,410 --> 00:41:20,970 trolley. 361 00:41:21,170 --> 00:41:30,310 I just put our green waste in, you know, paper bags, so, yeah, this is interesting. 362 00:41:30,310 --> 00:41:32,370 Yeah, their waste wizard. 363 00:41:33,070 --> 00:41:34,670 Their waste wizard does have a 364 00:41:34,670 --> 00:41:36,490 petriva greasy pizza box. 365 00:41:38,390 --> 00:41:39,590 And green waste. 366 00:41:51,350 --> 00:41:54,310 I have one of these green waste bins. 367 00:41:54,790 --> 00:41:57,130 Yeah, I don't know why we got one. 368 00:41:57,250 --> 00:41:58,470 I think I just said yes. 369 00:41:59,110 --> 00:42:01,570 I opted in, you know, six years ago, 370 00:42:01,590 --> 00:42:04,010 but I don't think I was ever asked. 371 00:42:04,110 --> 00:42:05,870 We've been at our place forever, right? 372 00:42:05,990 --> 00:42:07,130 You've been there longer. 373 00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:07,770 Yeah, yeah. 374 00:42:08,130 --> 00:42:09,390 I think it had just come up, 375 00:42:09,390 --> 00:42:15,850 But we're one of the few people in our neighborhood that asked what most people put out the paper bags. 376 00:42:16,170 --> 00:42:17,150 Yeah, that's interesting. 377 00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:30,420 Anybody else? Do we need to make a motion about these things? 378 00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:33,000 So we, or this is just commentary? 379 00:42:34,140 --> 00:42:35,440 Yeah, this is just report. 380 00:42:39,150 --> 00:42:43,110 Sorry, I just have a question because it seems like that waste wizard has a lot more 381 00:42:44,850 --> 00:42:49,200 information outside of like these graphics and everything. So whenever, I don't know if they've 382 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:55,920 released like this memo on social media or not but can they like conclude that QR code as well 383 00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:03,200 since it seems like there's way more info on there and like what you can do with green waste 384 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:08,020 and everything like that little QR code at the bottom. I don't know if that's something they can 385 00:43:08,020 --> 00:43:09,920 snip and put on social media also. 386 00:43:12,490 --> 00:43:16,750 I can find out because yeah I'm not sure necessarily where 387 00:43:17,270 --> 00:43:33,870 these images are going to, well, I say that, I would not be shocked at all. These probably will go out as a mailer. I'm not certain if they might go out as part of utility services, or I mean literally just straight directly from TDS. 388 00:43:35,050 --> 00:43:43,130 I also haven't seen what they intend to post on Facebook. I just know that they will, but I wouldn't be shocked if that will show up on there. 389 00:44:03,020 --> 00:44:09,920 So, getting in touch with the crads department a little bit as well as city parks. 390 00:44:12,500 --> 00:44:19,300 Parks is in charge of Buddha Halloween and we do have a booth reserved for that. 391 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:24,140 So what's going to have to happen, you know, again, between now and the next meeting is 392 00:44:24,140 --> 00:44:27,320 kind of putting together what we might want to do. 393 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:50,060 So, I staff will also need to get with crowds a little bit and see if there's anything in particular that they would encourage us to actually post as far as any social media or any outreach on those terms as far as what the commission members of the commission that might want to have at the booth. 394 00:44:50,860 --> 00:44:57,240 I would ask that you start brainstorming, for example, conservation day seeds were brought 395 00:44:57,240 --> 00:44:58,800 That'd be, that'd be fantastic. 396 00:45:01,230 --> 00:45:14,150 I might reach out and see if there were any kind of other pamphlets that we might have, that we could take to that. But start kind of considering because, yep, we have it. We have a booth. We're going to be there. 397 00:45:17,860 --> 00:45:28,480 And maybe these are some of the days where we have, like, okay, just go with me on it. We invite TDS to come and bring some of the scariest things that they've ever found in the landfill. 398 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:37,260 And we can make a really scary, you know, kind of a Halloween like this is a tear, is this trick or tree? 399 00:45:37,700 --> 00:45:46,080 Here you can have candy or you can have this garbage that's going to go in your water. It would be horrendous, right? 400 00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:52,100 Maybe they could do something interesting like that. I don't know. Things scare me in the environment. 401 00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:55,140 right? Honestly, I love that 402 00:45:55,140 --> 00:45:56,920 idea since the whole green 403 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,940 waste thing is like I guess 404 00:45:58,940 --> 00:46:01,280 enacted October 1st, but I 405 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:01,940 guess it's already been 406 00:46:01,940 --> 00:46:03,080 happening. Whatever, but 407 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,040 regardless, we can tie that 408 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,220 in as well and be like. Also, 409 00:46:08,220 --> 00:46:09,400 you can get this green waste 410 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,060 bin and whatever because I had 411 00:46:11,060 --> 00:46:12,580 no idea that was even y'all 412 00:46:12,580 --> 00:46:13,900 that you don't put things 413 00:46:13,900 --> 00:46:16,560 in recycling scares us. Right? 414 00:46:16,740 --> 00:46:18,720 You can have some kind of 415 00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:20,780 like something fun. Listen, 416 00:46:20,780 --> 00:46:27,980 and let's have it be fun. People will learn something, it'll be fun. Right? 417 00:46:28,340 --> 00:46:33,480 There's like, look at this extra filth that TDS got to bring and show it here today. 418 00:46:34,020 --> 00:46:38,740 I don't know what it's going to be but it could be like bat and hilarious and then you can show 419 00:46:38,740 --> 00:46:43,700 like, hey, you could do these other things and then of course give out candy which is terrible for 420 00:46:43,700 --> 00:46:49,620 But, but something wonderful and fun, right, and educational. 421 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:56,780 Yes, I was just thinking we could like make these different bins like into monsters or something, 422 00:46:56,940 --> 00:46:59,040 like make them cute and fun. I don't know. 423 00:47:00,020 --> 00:47:04,420 I like cute and fun monsters. Let's do that. That sounds great. 424 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:10,960 You know, just something that like you could help the kids and help, right? Just get the point across. 425 00:47:18,530 --> 00:47:33,250 Another couple of events that Parks have pointed out that they run, but a holiday of lights, I'm not quite certain what we might want for that because it's not necessarily a station as just some kind of a display. 426 00:47:34,410 --> 00:47:44,450 But it is a possibility if you all can think of anything that we might want to actually have on display and then perhaps provide some information for our lights recycling program with the library. 427 00:47:46,190 --> 00:47:56,650 So think it over. Let me know if you if you if you might want to do that because now now is a good time to start kind of thinking about that and letting parks know if we want to. 428 00:47:57,210 --> 00:48:01,050 The other one was of course the conservation fair in May. 429 00:48:03,010 --> 00:48:06,550 Staff would be doing that again if the sustainability commission would as well. 430 00:48:06,550 --> 00:48:07,210 I 431 00:48:11,300 --> 00:48:25,580 think for the holiday lights, if we put like the different things that we that we talk about here would be nice to put some kind of so that when people drive by they know or walk by they know what we what kind of conversations we have. 432 00:48:38,700 --> 00:48:40,280 And that would conclude the staff report. 433 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,760 Okay, commission requests for future agenda items. 434 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:45,720 Anybody? 435 00:48:46,260 --> 00:48:46,940 I have my own. 436 00:48:47,020 --> 00:48:47,440 But anybody? 437 00:48:48,340 --> 00:48:49,600 I have a question. 438 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,900 Did you see that next session is going to be like a more working session that we're 439 00:48:53,900 --> 00:48:54,780 doing in October? 440 00:48:55,900 --> 00:49:00,260 I could put together a work session presentation. 441 00:49:00,860 --> 00:49:07,520 The intent would be to go over a work plan for the 2027 year. 442 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:16,960 I'm just wondering when we would be able to kind of plan what we're going to do for 443 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,900 Buddha Halloween since it's like super close? 444 00:49:21,220 --> 00:49:23,360 Yes, that would be, I'm 445 00:49:27,010 --> 00:49:30,490 trying to think what would be perhaps the best way to do it. 446 00:49:31,270 --> 00:49:37,770 Because it would probably require, like I said, brainstorming happening at an individual 447 00:49:37,770 --> 00:49:46,550 level, compilation of those concepts at staff level and then basically deciding on those 448 00:49:46,550 --> 00:49:52,110 things at the October 1st meeting, it would have to be the timeline on that. 449 00:49:52,170 --> 00:49:57,270 So that means we have to put together our own thoughts and then be able to submit them. 450 00:49:57,270 --> 00:49:59,590 we sort them at that. 451 00:50:00,210 --> 00:50:28,790 Early October meeting, sorry about that, and because work never ends, just never ends, and then put it together so that we can have a go forward plan. Okay, so we can't make the October 1st meeting a work plan meeting instead of a commission meeting, because, anyway, that was my thought. Oh, I mean, it can be both. It can be both.
