1
00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:06,540
All right, let's call the meeting the order. I hope there may have been a chance to read the minutes. Do I have any motions?

2
00:00:11,630 --> 00:00:15,210
So, they've moved to approve the minutes. Do we have a second?

3
00:00:17,330 --> 00:00:22,690
Addie? Seconds? Any additions or corrections? Discussion?

4
00:00:25,540 --> 00:00:25,540
All right.

5
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:28,600
On your second seat. You have to have a turn to seat, guys. Good night.

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,100
All favors say I raise your hand if thumbs up. I

7
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:44,800
oppose extensions, extension, hold it.

8
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,980
Do you think Carl abstains? Any public chest?

9
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,360
Oh.

10
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,100
It's

11
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,640
going to take a minute. Sorry. I got thrown off with all the video stuff that I'm working.

12
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,940
Not a minute in my life gone by, yes.

13
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:19,080
You're not in it.

14
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:21,260
You're not in it.

15
00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:25,440
Is there a way to get the public comment?

16
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,720
I thought I had to get in from ED through here.

17
00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:32,320
It's going to be fine if I think about it beforehand.

18
00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:45,540
Okay. That's all for the comment.

19
00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:49,120
a public, all right? You want to introduce the presentation? Yes.

20
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Can I just introduce Shelley first? Oh, yeah. Sorry.

21
00:01:55,180 --> 00:02:00,920
Sorry. This is my new boss, Shelley Shaw.

22
00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:04,760
So I think folks know that carry a group of tired at the end of the last year,

23
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:07,480
but she is joining our meeting tonight.

24
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,280
So she met the folks in the room, but maybe folks on the room,

25
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,240
if you can just say your name for her. That would be great.

26
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,500
Hi, Sheli. Welcome, welcome. My name is Addie Ferber. I'm a resident of Manona.

27
00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:27,800
I'm a grant writer in the community and a formerly free food group now of community action coalition.

28
00:02:28,260 --> 00:02:30,500
I'm also a gardener and a musician.

29
00:02:30,940 --> 00:02:32,900
Nice to meet you.

30
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,140
Julie?

31
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:35,800
Ellie, long time.

32
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:37,760
How you doing?

33
00:02:38,340 --> 00:02:39,400
Good to see you.

34
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,180
Yeah, welcome to this position.

35
00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:42,540
Thank you.

36
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:54,020
Sebastian, I'm Sebastian, I'm a Grover and I have a little bit of food system stuff, welcome.

37
00:02:54,980 --> 00:02:56,520
Thank you, thank you for having me.

38
00:02:56,820 --> 00:02:58,720
All right.

39
00:02:59,020 --> 00:02:59,380
Okay.

40
00:03:03,010 --> 00:03:05,670
So for the presentation, quick question, Jess.

41
00:03:05,870 --> 00:03:09,470
I also sorry, I don't recognize who's at the end of the table sitting next to Shelley.

42
00:03:10,130 --> 00:03:11,730
I've had it been on the same meeting together yet.

43
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:21,710
I think we met virtually at the last meeting and names and faces were not connecting.

44
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:24,110
Thank you so much.

45
00:03:27,650 --> 00:03:40,090
All right, so we're having a presentation about the Dan County Food System Action Plan in advance of the action item and the way that we're doing the presentation is that it's

46
00:03:40,830 --> 00:03:47,210
know a presented to the Madison Food Policy Council in July. And so I have a recording of that.

47
00:03:48,510 --> 00:03:54,390
And this time, I've tested out sharing the recording. So I think it's going to work.

48
00:03:54,770 --> 00:03:59,030
But if you're not hearing sound on your side of it or something, let me know.

49
00:03:59,970 --> 00:04:02,170
But I'm going to try to share that up for us.

50
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:07,840
But we're going to just listen to the presentation part and then not.

51
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,180
We'll stop it before they have their discussion. We'll have our own discussion.

52
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,240
share.

53
00:04:24,590 --> 00:04:26,610
So I'm going to make that bang for us.

54
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,680
Do you see? I think he just maybe the screen

55
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,640
doesn't show up there.

56
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:54,800
I mean,

57
00:04:59,240 --> 00:04:59,960
I need to consider a question.

58
00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:11,400
Your request has been approved. Thank you, Nick. Okay, you can see my screen. There

59
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,800
we go. Now it's colors.

60
00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:29,840
Okay. Well, thank you everybody. We have an exciting update on the Dan County Food Systems Action Plan.

61
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:37,020
And today, I just want to walk you through, kind of give an orientation to the food plan,

62
00:05:37,540 --> 00:05:43,500
which should all be in your e-mails from Nick earlier today, or earlier this week.

63
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:52,140
So, what we'll be doing today, and I see that this is a little fuzzy, but hopefully you can all read this, okay?

64
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:54,920
I want to orient you to the document.

65
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:01,380
But I think the one thing we talked about really not having presented to this group so far

66
00:06:01,380 --> 00:06:06,040
is diving a little more into the story of our food system, which is the second part of

67
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:15,140
our food system action plan, which talks about some of the core tensions that we uncovered

68
00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:17,500
through the first two phases of the project.

69
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,520
And then we can do a brief tour of the goals and strategies, which we've already talked

70
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:29,580
about in this space. And then I'm hoping to end on sort of next steps in a discussion of the

71
00:06:29,580 --> 00:06:35,240
councils role with the food plan moving forward. So at that point, I think we can sort of open

72
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:43,040
it up and allow for questions and conversation. And if that is wrong, anyone can interject and let

73
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:49,600
me know if that's breaking the rules. So for part one, looking through the plan,

74
00:06:51,460 --> 00:06:57,500
The plan is, well first of all, can I ask quickly, are you guys seeing the, like,

75
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:04,600
every analysis video on my screen, or you can see the slides just unencumbered?

76
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,320
We're just seeing the slides now.

77
00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:08,080
Okay, perfect.

78
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:09,280
Okay.

79
00:07:10,060 --> 00:07:15,600
So the structure of the food plan itself, it starts with an introduction, which walks through,

80
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,720
introduction to the project, what is the food system, and then the timeline for this project.

81
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:28,140
Then it gets into sort of the two main parts of the planet itself, the first being the story

82
00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:35,560
of the food system, which locks through some of the themes from our community engagement process.

83
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:43,840
It gives more of an in-depth story around the categories we described as production, consumption, and infrastructure.

84
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:51,920
And then we talk about the tensions that have emerged out of all of those themes through this writing process.

85
00:07:52,620 --> 00:08:00,860
And then part two, which a lot of you have already seen, is planning for action, the Colson strategies that are proposed in the planet itself.

86
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:12,140
And then you can see at the bottom, we also have a section for acknowledgments and appendix for the review process and community engagement process and a glossary of terms.

87
00:08:13,940 --> 00:08:16,820
So, how was the plan built?

88
00:08:17,180 --> 00:08:24,000
I think at this point, you all should be pretty aware of the process, but just to go over

89
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:32,940
a more time, the project itself allows to over three phases starting with a literature review

90
00:08:32,940 --> 00:08:37,240
and sort of project development itself that started in late fall of 2023.

91
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:41,600
Then we opened up a community engagement process.

92
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:48,640
you can see some of the stats involved with that community engagement, we reached over 3,000 people

93
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:57,500
across 15 municipalities and date county health presentations and gatherings and distributed surveys

94
00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:04,640
throughout the community as well, which was sort of in a lot of ways the meat of the public facing

95
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:20,220
portion of this project. And then, once that wrapped up, we entered this data analysis and planned development phase, which we are currently ending and resulting in the tank county for system action plan.

96
00:09:21,420 --> 00:09:33,420
So what did we hear from the community that helped inform this plan? These were the five different themes that, and you can see this again in the story of the free system section of the food plan itself.

97
00:09:35,180 --> 00:09:48,480
Probably most, obviously, is a discussion around affordability, you know, over the last few decades, we've seen the press of food rise drastically and that's really hitting people at home.

98
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:58,600
And that seems to be a major topic of discussion when we talk to the community about what it is about free systems that is pressing for them.

99
00:09:58,860 --> 00:09:59,980
Sort of building off.

100
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:10,240
That across all different sectors of the food supply chain, disparity as a real topic of issue, that comes

101
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:16,480
about both in that sort of affordability and access piece, but also in things like who has access

102
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:26,140
to the land, who has access to business ownership, and even the policy that shapes our food system

103
00:10:26,140 --> 00:10:33,000
itself. Another major theme is consolidation across all different sectors of the supply chain.

104
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:41,860
We're seeing fewer and fewer people and entities have ownership in our food system from farms

105
00:10:41,860 --> 00:10:50,900
to retailers to the infrastructure that makes up the food system. The fourth theme is emergency

106
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:58,360
superparadys. I think we all like recognize how COVID-19 disrupted the food supply chain,

107
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:07,220
but you know increasingly other issues like climate change and other environmental and

108
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:14,720
geopolitical factors are affecting supply chains as well and so how are we orienting

109
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,300
our supply chain to be prepared for those emergencies and last the discussion around

110
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:28,800
excessive waste. I think widely cited number is 40% of food that is produced in the US goes

111
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:38,960
to waste and that creates both strain on our waste system, but also reflects poorly on some

112
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,940
of the earlier issues we talked about with affordability and disparity in food access.

113
00:11:45,510 --> 00:12:03,210
And those, so those themes also are reflected in the food system, in the food plan, in our story of the food system section, sort of distilled into what we're calling the three court tensions.

114
00:12:03,210 --> 00:12:11,050
So, you know, as we had people review the plan, we were seeing and need to sort of distill this information,

115
00:12:11,450 --> 00:12:19,970
not just into a presentation of facts, and observations, but to create an narrative around what is going on,

116
00:12:20,110 --> 00:12:25,310
and what is happening when all of these themes are at play with each other.

117
00:12:26,290 --> 00:12:32,110
So, and maybe to even take us back, just to acknowledge like how deeply connected our food system is

118
00:12:32,110 --> 00:12:37,570
interconnected, all of these different sectors of the supply chain are with each other.

119
00:12:38,110 --> 00:12:42,710
And so the three core tensions we identified are agricultural abundance, first rising

120
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:49,270
food insecurity, disconnecting, very disconnected local food supply and demand, and community

121
00:12:49,270 --> 00:12:51,030
control, first consolidation.

122
00:12:52,010 --> 00:12:57,930
So that first piece is really about acknowledging that dang county is one of the highest

123
00:12:57,930 --> 00:13:00,550
producing agricultural counties in the country.

124
00:13:01,330 --> 00:13:05,050
We have rich soil for agricultural production.

125
00:13:05,170 --> 00:13:11,170
We have all of these institutions, like the Dane County Farmers Market, the Military Co-ops,

126
00:13:12,730 --> 00:13:17,970
all these markets and attention towards the food that we're producing in the county.

127
00:13:18,930 --> 00:13:25,930
At the same time, we have great disparities in who has access to that food, and that relates

128
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:27,290
to some of the future tensions.

129
00:13:27,290 --> 00:13:40,250
The second tension that we talk about is this disconnected local food supply and demand and what we're talking about there is, you know, 95% of the food that's grown in Dane County is going to commodity markets.

130
00:13:40,530 --> 00:13:52,290
It's not feeding human beings in our, in our own backyard and on the purchasing side of things, we hear from institutional buyers and consumers this great demand for local food.

131
00:13:53,330 --> 00:14:05,590
You know, when we're out in the field, like individual consumers across different income levels are all identifying a desire to increase them out of local and nutritious food in their diet.

132
00:14:06,050 --> 00:14:14,090
When we talk to major suppliers, like, you know, you know, you can help epic school systems, things like that.

133
00:14:14,090 --> 00:14:22,390
They're, you know, is documented, um, desire to purchase locally, but the reality is, um,

134
00:14:22,610 --> 00:14:28,770
you know, the, what is being grown in our soil is not reflecting that demand, and we're unable

135
00:14:28,770 --> 00:14:34,430
to meet the total demand of our community, uh, with our local food supply.

136
00:14:36,390 --> 00:14:40,930
The third attention we talk about is community control versus consolidation and that really relates

137
00:14:40,930 --> 00:14:48,310
to that earlier theme of consolidation, where we are seeing across the supply chain, whether

138
00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:56,230
it's more and more farmland being purchased by fewer and fewer entities, retail outlets,

139
00:14:58,610 --> 00:14:59,970
food businesses themselves.

140
00:15:01,020 --> 00:15:24,620
We're seeing less and less local ownership of those different entities of our free supply chain. And what that means is, you know, the decisions that impact our relation to the food system are being decided on further and further away from our community.

141
00:15:24,620 --> 00:15:32,320
rights, so this has to do with what is being grown in our soil, what food is available

142
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,620
on the shelves, in our grocery stores, what the price of that food is and who has access

143
00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:43,700
to it, all of these things are being decided by entities further and further outside of

144
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:44,120
our community.

145
00:15:48,660 --> 00:15:54,240
So we took all the information that we cleaned from the community engagement

146
00:15:54,240 --> 00:16:00,340
literature for you to distill it into this story and then we took all of that information and

147
00:16:00,340 --> 00:16:07,060
had that informed the goals and strategies of this food system action plan and then as you all

148
00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:12,160
know we brought those goals and strategies back to the community and had these different

149
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:20,060
iterative processes where we got feedback on what those goals and strategies are and yeah

150
00:16:20,060 --> 00:16:28,840
continue to distill that down. So what that looks like in the planet itself is seven goals.

151
00:16:30,380 --> 00:16:35,480
And we can all just take a second to read through them. The first goal being collaboration,

152
00:16:36,540 --> 00:16:49,260
and it was sort of an intentional decision to put this goal first because we really see this as the

153
00:16:49,260 --> 00:16:55,580
sectors of the supply chain across the different types of entities that are a part of our

154
00:16:55,580 --> 00:17:02,380
food system. We see collaboration as a way to achieve more efficiently if the rest of the

155
00:17:02,380 --> 00:17:06,520
goals of this food action plant. So collaboration is centered around building the social

156
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:13,360
infrastructure to connect food system partners to accomplish the goals of our food action

157
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:21,920
one. Gold to is centered around production and, you know, can be distilled into growing more

158
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:28,780
food for people here in Dain County and not just community markets. Gold 3 is access,

159
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:36,380
make healthy, affordable, culturally relevant food, accessible to our community. Gold 4 is

160
00:17:36,380 --> 00:17:43,780
infrastructure, fill the missing middle of storage, processing and distribution that makes

161
00:17:43,780 --> 00:17:50,400
local food production available to where we access it possible.

162
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,540
Gold five is efficiency, reduced in different ways across the supply chain.

163
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,180
Gold six is resilience prepared for the next climate economic.

164
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:06,000
I would add to you a political or health crisis.

165
00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:13,740
And then Gold seven ensure that the benefits from a local food system flow back to the farmers, workers, and entrepreneurs who make it possible.

166
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:23,870
I just wanted to provide like one example of what when you look at the food plan and the

167
00:18:23,870 --> 00:18:30,190
goals and strategies section, like how to use it. So each goal sort of has a header,

168
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:36,570
and then it breaks down into different strategies. So for example, if we go for a big

169
00:18:36,570 --> 00:18:42,470
center run infrastructure, there are multiple strategies housed under that goal. Each strategy

170
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:49,810
has a number associated in it, so 4.2 would be expand local storage capacity, and then

171
00:18:50,630 --> 00:19:00,010
we sort of leave the actions up to us to fill in collectively and sort of create from

172
00:19:00,010 --> 00:19:04,270
to make that goal and strategy as you football.

173
00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:09,110
So, you know, a great example, and I was thinking about, you know, a project like the Fuchsia

174
00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:16,030
partnership when creating the slide where as a community we for a long time identify the need for

175
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:23,890
increased infrastructure for our local food system and we knew that we needed to increase

176
00:19:23,890 --> 00:19:30,790
you know cold, frozen, dry storage as well as processing space and so you know multiple

177
00:19:30,790 --> 00:19:38,530
organizations have come together to support the future partnership project advocated for investment

178
00:19:38,530 --> 00:19:43,730
from local policy makers, government entities,

179
00:19:46,010 --> 00:19:48,670
DAPCAP, those sort of sources.

180
00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:51,550
And now, the accumulation of those resources

181
00:19:51,550 --> 00:19:54,290
has led to a project where we're actually increasing infrastructure.

182
00:20:00,270 --> 00:20:13,010
So that is how to use the plan. And I think for next steps, what I wanted to share is what we're asking from you all as a part of this food council.

183
00:20:13,450 --> 00:20:24,610
And what it means to be in partnership with bringing this, the goals and strategies of this food action plan to fruition.

184
00:20:24,610 --> 00:20:35,450
So, things you can do to help us move forward our review, the draft, read the plan, yourself and send feedback back

185
00:20:37,950 --> 00:20:41,150
to us, share the PDF and website.

186
00:20:42,770 --> 00:20:55,030
Once it's finalized, which is in the next couple weeks here, we'll send out the full PDF and the website link to you all, pass it along to your networks.

187
00:20:56,670 --> 00:21:03,030
We also want help disseminating this plan, so if you are aware of places for us to share

188
00:21:03,030 --> 00:21:13,850
this presentation to share our findings from the food plan and, sorry, if you are aware

189
00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:18,190
of opportunities for us to share this information back with the community, that would be helpful

190
00:21:18,190 --> 00:21:22,270
and in bringing this fine to the community.

191
00:21:23,070 --> 00:21:24,270
And then continue to iterate.

192
00:21:24,330 --> 00:21:25,770
This is an iterative process.

193
00:21:26,590 --> 00:21:29,630
We want, we've left the goals and strategies open

194
00:21:29,630 --> 00:21:35,370
in such a way where we didn't want this to be

195
00:21:35,370 --> 00:21:39,130
in all encompassing document in the sense that these are

196
00:21:39,130 --> 00:21:43,730
the only goals and strategies that are

197
00:21:45,650 --> 00:21:47,250
allowable to use, right?

198
00:21:47,250 --> 00:21:51,570
So if there are ways that your organizations are making these impacts in the community, share

199
00:21:51,570 --> 00:21:58,090
that with us and help us like track these goals in the future through the work that

200
00:21:58,090 --> 00:21:59,030
you're already doing.

201
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:12,840
How we envision the food action plan being incorporated into the food council is using the

202
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,700
plan as a shared framework.

203
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:23,600
So as we're having presentations and discussion, setting agendas, using the words and the goals in the

204
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,140
food plan as the framework,

205
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,560
directing the resources that come through the council towards

206
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,800
achieving the goals, uplifting a lined community projects.

207
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:43,460
I think also sort of what I was just talking about is tracking the progress and reporting

208
00:22:43,460 --> 00:22:50,720
out how this food plan is being used and how we're achieving the goals laid out and then

209
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:58,560
also using it as a way to advocate for policy, at the city and county level, especially.

210
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:08,140
And then also using your position here on the food council as a bridge to the community

211
00:23:08,140 --> 00:23:18,600
the government or whatever your networks are to align the goals of this food plan with the

212
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,040
entities that you're involved with outside of this council.

213
00:23:25,140 --> 00:23:27,120
So I think I'll leave it there for

214
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:30,860
any questions people have or thought

215
00:23:35,540 --> 00:23:43,600
next steps especially as it relates to how the county

216
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,500
integrates it into its work.

217
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,860
I guess just don't bring it up for discussion.

218
00:23:59,660 --> 00:24:03,160
Jimmy, have thoughts, questions, discussion points.

219
00:24:11,630 --> 00:24:20,910
Oh, for myself, I've had a chance a couple of times now to read through the drafts of the food action plan as they've set the goals and summarized the literature, et cetera.

220
00:24:20,910 --> 00:24:29,030
And actually I was kind of that last slide that Noah brought up of how we're going to integrate

221
00:24:29,030 --> 00:24:32,410
this plan into the work that we're doing in DCFC.

222
00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:40,190
I thought was kind of a new thing that I don't know if we thank you so much for the slides.

223
00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:50,250
And so that kind of is one of the areas of conversation, I think I'd like to eventually lean

224
00:24:50,250 --> 00:24:56,610
into. I know today, if I remember correctly, we're voting on whether to adopt or not, if I remember

225
00:24:56,610 --> 00:24:59,970
correctly. But yeah, that also that.

226
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,580
Question of how is this going to guide us going forward? I think it's really important.

227
00:25:08,380 --> 00:25:21,480
Anybody else? Well, I like to chime in. I think we've, at least, by my last year or so on this council or more, we've talked a little bit about one of the strategies in production.

228
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:32,920
I think we've talked very detailed about access to land and it has kind of through other studies and other conversations we've had with users or other producers.

229
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:39,460
We've kind of taken that as kind of a pilot issue to undertake.

230
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:48,880
I think we still should probably maintain that conversation and really kind of move that forward based on what the action plan looked like.

231
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,780
I think it's very important strategy

232
00:25:51,780 --> 00:25:54,780
and I think it's a very, very important goal

233
00:25:55,250 --> 00:25:56,420
in this action plan.

234
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,260
And I think that's something

235
00:25:59,260 --> 00:26:01,680
that should really reiterate our commitment

236
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,580
to making that happen.

237
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:07,620
To our policy committee or whatever action team

238
00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:10,440
we have that goes forward with this.

239
00:26:11,020 --> 00:26:14,480
So I think it is in line with what we need to discuss

240
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:21,440
and kind of follow up on, and I'm kind of concerned about following up on everything, because

241
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:28,580
there's a lot of strategies here, and there's a lot of goals here that I think this council

242
00:26:28,580 --> 00:26:34,820
and the last, and many, and the two terms that I've been on this council have tried to address,

243
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:39,820
but it seemed to be overwhelmed with the people that we have and the change in membership.

244
00:26:39,820 --> 00:26:49,740
but I think we're on line to continue to do this work as as Dan County Food Council and I'd like

245
00:26:49,740 --> 00:26:57,250
to see this kind of continued that discussion especially in the production area and I would recommend

246
00:26:57,250 --> 00:27:04,230
to be a top to plan to I think it's a very complete and it's a good roadmap for us over the

247
00:27:04,230 --> 00:27:07,850
over the next five or six years, you know, from 10 years.

248
00:27:09,010 --> 00:27:16,130
Well, and I guess I would say just building on that comment and that point is, I look

249
00:27:16,130 --> 00:27:23,630
at this also not as much, I mean, yes, how might it impact influence this council, but how

250
00:27:23,630 --> 00:27:29,410
what it impact, the county board, how it impact day in county land water conservation,

251
00:27:29,410 --> 00:27:36,210
who has the control over, you know, over the parcels and I saw one of the things in there, you know,

252
00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:46,090
for city properties, encouraging use of more innovative use or food, you know, of some of the city land,

253
00:27:46,730 --> 00:27:56,770
but yeah, who has the control over any of these different action items? And so that was kind of where I'm thinking too,

254
00:27:57,310 --> 00:28:04,250
All right, if we play this out of how could this help making make in that case, I think there's a lot of good things in here.

255
00:28:04,610 --> 00:28:09,290
Just on that production side, media a little bit more.

256
00:28:10,110 --> 00:28:12,330
I'm right now I'm at Anderson County Park.

257
00:28:12,470 --> 00:28:19,770
I'd love for the committee here to make it out to Anderson at some point and just to see it.

258
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:22,930
There's no really minimal storage or anything here.

259
00:28:22,930 --> 00:28:30,530
some areas have water, but it's not just the land access, it's the rest of the pieces that go

260
00:28:30,530 --> 00:28:37,330
along with effectively producing. And the plan does talk on various aspects of that,

261
00:28:37,630 --> 00:28:42,450
but yeah, I think from my review, I think there's a lot of good pieces in it.

262
00:28:44,980 --> 00:29:14,360
Thank you. Yeah, I think it's a pretty good holistic plan. I mean, I think about how I was a little concerned about the implementation piece and like how they were going to do the tracking and stuff. So it was good to actually see that spelled out a little bit in the presentation. And I'm hoping that, you know, just this body we don't get too overwhelmed.

263
00:29:14,980 --> 00:29:20,230
and that we just kind of figure out, you know, one of the two things to make

264
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:27,620
make a priority. I know that Carl was talking a little bit about the

265
00:29:27,620 --> 00:29:33,720
public lands and land access and things, and I'm hoping we'll be kind of squeeze

266
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:41,280
in some of that additional input and involvement on the council or with the council

267
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:49,280
from movies of the public that don't necessarily usually show up to these kind of things.

268
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:59,980
Just so we can have like a more robust conversation and be a part of the process of sort of connecting more people.

269
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:26,840
I have been some of some synergy on this very important topic. Last thing I'll say is that I really like how the plan talks about like leaving full system work into more of the fabric of general planning, full for medicine and day in county, rather than leaving it as an isolated sort of stand-alone issue.

270
00:30:28,980 --> 00:30:36,380
I mean, the question, the plan at the end he talked about having more community meetings

271
00:30:36,380 --> 00:30:38,820
are at least in promoting more community meetings.

272
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,440
Is this a plan that looks like it's going to be more fluid?

273
00:30:41,900 --> 00:30:44,460
Maybe we adopt this plan the way it's written right now.

274
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:51,420
Is there going to be updates to it or if we have a community meeting say in Mezzo-Many

275
00:30:51,420 --> 00:30:56,240
and find out there's a need for something that's not really addressed in the plan or something

276
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:02,560
that we can enhance in the plan, is that going to be something that's going to be added to

277
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:10,720
the plan, or is it going to be a more fluid type of strategy or a plan, I guess, or action planning?

278
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:22,700
Yeah, I think the answer to that is yes, I mean, as far as I don't have specifics on the exact process

279
00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:26,500
for that, but I think what you're saying, like, when no one was kind of talking about the first

280
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:31,840
school being collaboration, and, you know, maybe a couple of years ago, some of these things

281
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:38,080
were things that we envisioned happening, like that we would have been part of this process,

282
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,020
but I think they're going to be, I mean, they aren't going to be more part of implementation,

283
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:46,820
but as far as like connecting more with organizations or community members and kind of pulling

284
00:31:46,820 --> 00:31:53,780
more things in, I don't mean more things like endless strategies and actions, but just like

285
00:31:53,780 --> 00:31:59,560
really trying to connect the players and the stakeholders and the people who are involved in

286
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,300
all this to make sure it's representing what they do.

287
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:07,760
Is the objective of those meetings they're going to try to have the community engaged and plan

288
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:15,080
and really add to their input kind of make an implementation or actually setting new goals?

289
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:20,360
Well, I think, as a good question, I don't know if we really talked about that in that way as a team.

290
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:31,300
I think what I'm thinking and what I wanted to respond to or just mention as people are wondering about implementation is that we are, it's not fully finished up,

291
00:32:31,380 --> 00:32:39,920
but basically we have like an implementation matrix spreadsheet with all the different goals and all the different strategies and actions,

292
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:52,240
And then we're going to be working with community entities to kind of get more specific about which organizations and people are doing which parts of it and kind of more timeline.

293
00:32:53,260 --> 00:33:07,820
So in my mind one of the early parts of implementation is just mapping out more of the specifics and like people have mentioned there's a ton in here, it's obviously not like you can't prioritize it all because you can't like it's too much to do.

294
00:33:07,820 --> 00:33:14,600
and so part of that in planning out the implementation is figuring out the phasing of which things

295
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:20,760
will happen first and which things are for later, but the plan kind of contains obviously like

296
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:27,180
many, many years of work, so figuring out how to stage and face that work is what I have

297
00:33:27,180 --> 00:33:33,880
on my mind, but I'm going to note your comment about also just having a capacity to connect with community

298
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,800
members and find out like additional suggestions or modifications.

299
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,940
I guess in my mind, at one point we have to have a rule of that.

300
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:43,460
Yeah.

301
00:33:43,460 --> 00:33:47,140
And that rule can be closed up here and then move over here.

302
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,000
We have to have a goal and it's going to have to start somewhere.

303
00:33:52,340 --> 00:33:52,700
I think.

304
00:33:53,020 --> 00:33:54,120
So I guess to respond to that.

305
00:33:54,140 --> 00:33:57,980
It's like, I think the idea is to start with what we have right now.

306
00:33:58,340 --> 00:34:00,620
And as we're building out the implementation,

307
00:34:00,620 --> 00:34:07,590
You know, there's just constantly going to be additional ideas and things coming up. So I agree. I think I'm on the same page as you is like it's not that like

308
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:15,850
All of a sudden when there's a new idea. It's like, okay, we're going to change this right away. We're going to change this right away. I think we'll just kind of like store those things up and then

309
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:27,240
You know in a year, so whenever we're updating this then we'll be able to take those extra nuances and in things like that, but I agree with you where it's like we got a

310
00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:30,480
Just pick a roadmap and kind of start playing that out and then

311
00:34:31,180 --> 00:34:33,120
Revised in update as needed.

312
00:34:33,420 --> 00:34:36,680
Just could you clarify who we is?

313
00:34:37,620 --> 00:34:39,420
I was going to ask the same question.

314
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:40,480
Who is this?

315
00:34:41,540 --> 00:34:41,900
Yeah.

316
00:34:43,020 --> 00:34:47,460
If it's like my mom, whenever she said we, I used to call my stepdad.

317
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,220
We, because we said we need to be this.

318
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:50,900
It wasn't her.

319
00:34:51,060 --> 00:34:52,100
It was my stepdad.

320
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:53,760
So I was sorry.

321
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,540
Was that the only question you're asking?

322
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:56,880
I have more questions.

323
00:34:57,340 --> 00:34:59,440
But I guess for a rookie here.

324
00:34:59,520 --> 00:34:59,820
Yeah.

325
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,080
We're seeing this for the first time. Whose plan is this? And who has a third, you'll be playing?

326
00:35:07,820 --> 00:35:16,620
Yeah. So, as far as, so there's a few different answers to that. But right now, the people who are, like, we had a team

327
00:35:16,620 --> 00:35:23,800
funded to work on this through a grant. And then that grant has ended. They're still, what was that grant?

328
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:29,680
Oh yeah, I was from the USDA primarily, and then also additional funding from Dan County Board,

329
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,400
the county itself.

330
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,400
And so my, I'm still working on it. Like it's built to

331
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:44,780
shepherding this and working with this plan is built into my plan of work in my position. That's

332
00:35:44,780 --> 00:35:50,080
the same case for Nick Hackman at Public Health, and then also Noah who gave the presentation at

333
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:59,500
food group is, is sticking with it. And then we have, we're just strategizing on other ways to

334
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:05,780
continue, or how we're going to roll out of the limitation. We have another grant in application

335
00:36:05,780 --> 00:36:14,480
into USDA for implementation. And so that would build out a lot of support, you know, if that

336
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:20,020
grant were not to get funded, we have different way to proceed with it as well. But there's kind of,

337
00:36:20,020 --> 00:36:26,920
would say like we had a core project team for putting us together and we're going to continue to have a core

338
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,500
project, core implementation team that's made up of a few different, you know,

339
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:38,240
city government, county government, nonprofits and we'll be able to open that up to

340
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:50,000
I think like some of the food systems organizations addition in addition to reap might want to

341
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:55,180
implementation or team is, but we just know that there's some carryover from the developing

342
00:36:55,180 --> 00:37:01,340
the plan. So we're voting on it because we're voting on it because we're the planet itself.

343
00:37:01,540 --> 00:37:10,140
So the USDA grant, the deliverables to USDA did not, did not involve actually making a food plan.

344
00:37:10,260 --> 00:37:17,540
The deliverables to USDA were all around the community engagement and gathering information and

345
00:37:17,540 --> 00:37:37,920
kind of it was the kind of USDA grant it was was called a planning grant and so really that was kind of like the pre work to make a plan and then when we were needing some match funding from the county in order to be able to apply for that USDA grant the county was willing to provide the match funding.

346
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:49,360
Um, if that if we could also create a food action plan for the county and so it's this plan is actually deliverable to the county.

347
00:37:51,310 --> 00:38:00,150
So, so this committee building on the plan is just literally giving the county a final brother.

348
00:38:00,150 --> 00:38:08,690
Yes, just for their funded right and then, but it's up to the county still water if they're going to implement

349
00:38:08,690 --> 00:38:16,890
any part of it. Yeah. Well, I mean, ideally, anybody in the food system can look at it can

350
00:38:16,890 --> 00:38:23,670
say, oh, I'm going to go for a grant for this. I think I can do some of this. You know, there's

351
00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:28,410
a couple things. So it does give that a nice document. We have a submit with the grant request,

352
00:38:28,950 --> 00:38:35,970
which quite often helps substaging requests. But it doesn't in any way really tie the county,

353
00:38:35,970 --> 00:38:40,270
either city or hotel into any actual action.

354
00:38:41,190 --> 00:38:49,030
No, but I wouldn't say, you know, the county's helping us help us get the mass for their

355
00:38:49,030 --> 00:38:50,050
implementation grant.

356
00:38:52,490 --> 00:38:56,170
So, no, nobody has to, nobody has to do anything.

357
00:38:56,290 --> 00:38:56,570
Right.

358
00:38:56,710 --> 00:38:58,770
We're working a lot of people will do something.

359
00:38:59,370 --> 00:38:59,870
We will.

360
00:39:00,370 --> 00:39:00,670
Yeah.

361
00:39:00,770 --> 00:39:06,070
And he said, you know, also, I mean, I think when the spreadsheet comes out with all the different,

362
00:39:06,270 --> 00:39:11,290
I think there'll be a lot of minor actions that can be started with and then snowball into something better.

363
00:39:13,330 --> 00:39:15,490
But no, Addy, if you still have your hand up.

364
00:39:19,050 --> 00:39:20,450
We actually addressed my question.

365
00:39:20,690 --> 00:39:27,190
It was about, you know, when we put this plan together and we approve it and deliver it to the council, is it binding?

366
00:39:27,370 --> 00:39:29,290
And it sounds like no, it is not.

367
00:39:29,290 --> 00:39:42,050
There's no more that this is us basically saying here's our recommendation for a plan to make our community food better and doesn't have any kind of weight behind it.

368
00:39:42,110 --> 00:39:47,810
It has influence on policy but not any authority over policy as I understand it.

369
00:39:50,460 --> 00:39:59,960
So it's more of a question, shall we say, an idea for their company, the city, whoever, the very...

370
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,400
This food pantry is still working out and I'll see if they want to take action on any of you.

371
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,100
Right. And if there's ever a day where we hope we can get budget money from the county,

372
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,060
I mean, probably ask in relation to this plan.

373
00:40:13,940 --> 00:40:16,360
I said it after every day.

374
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:22,140
And it's coming soon. And we, I mean, we're not going to ask for money to fall.

375
00:40:24,060 --> 00:40:28,540
But I'd like to talk to the staffer at the county and say,

376
00:40:28,540 --> 00:40:39,600
You know, think about stuff, you know, lay the seed now that, like, in next year or so, there's a little room, you know, what does it exactly want to see?

377
00:40:40,380 --> 00:40:45,780
You know, theoretically that's the upper room. Aaron counts.

378
00:40:47,220 --> 00:40:52,780
I met with him once and I talked to him at the Caribbean cutting.

379
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,700
And so, and Joe, he got the stuff.

380
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,580
How much did the company get from the state of 1930, had it 35?

381
00:41:08,780 --> 00:41:09,960
Well, what's that to your signal?

382
00:41:10,340 --> 00:41:14,980
It was 65 the first year, and then actually, when we did,

383
00:41:14,980 --> 00:41:19,620
we got in your late, we went for more money, and we'd actually got like another,

384
00:41:21,260 --> 00:41:25,100
we hadn't gotten, we hadn't received, whether we got the grant or not.

385
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:27,800
So we had two levels of funding.

386
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,480
We were going to even get more if the grant

387
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:32,140
didn't go through.

388
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,680
But then since we got the grant,

389
00:41:33,820 --> 00:41:35,880
they kind of backed to another $65 or something.

390
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,980
Like $62 or something like that.

391
00:41:38,380 --> 00:41:40,920
It was the last two years or not.

392
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,980
Well, it was the last year problem.

393
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,440
23 is when we started the grant, I guess.

394
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,720
23, I think, was there still a COVID money?

395
00:41:48,980 --> 00:41:50,480
It might have been for 2024.

396
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:57,540
It's just the first, it has the counting execs office in this plan draft.

397
00:41:58,580 --> 00:41:59,840
Yeah, you know.

398
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:07,340
We just gave her a copy of the executive summary at an event last week for the future.

399
00:42:07,860 --> 00:42:10,500
And so I just talked to her real briefly about it.

400
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:19,820
But if we do things like if we meet out at Badger or Anderson Park,

401
00:42:19,820 --> 00:42:26,860
you know, we can start seeing what's new out there and it may make it easier for rooted to do some more fundraising.

402
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:32,100
You understand there's some part where they have the community garden school right now.

403
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:33,640
Yeah, working, working.

404
00:42:37,540 --> 00:42:41,960
Yeah. Yeah. I sent it to executive a guard after the food

405
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:52,000
head event and then also at your own college. And she's also working on a economic development strategy

406
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:58,300
and I shared it with that team thinking there's a lot of great thoughts in here for that.

407
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:06,360
Sure is here, surely? Yeah, I guess I'm just wondering if this is a fair comment or

408
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:15,290
statement that I guess I didn't think of this as being overwhelming because it's not like the

409
00:43:15,290 --> 00:43:21,590
council is going to be taking all of these on and a lot of these things have already been going on

410
00:43:21,590 --> 00:43:30,030
wrote, you know, the county. But what I'd like about this is it's now a formalized document

411
00:43:30,030 --> 00:43:36,090
that shows research and has the community involvement rather than a subset of people saying,

412
00:43:36,110 --> 00:43:41,690
oh, this is what we need. But although if you read it, we were right on a lot of things, right?

413
00:43:41,870 --> 00:43:47,350
And so that's completely affirming. But also it makes a lot more sense to involve the people

414
00:43:47,350 --> 00:43:49,570
that are actually impacted by this.

415
00:43:49,890 --> 00:43:53,910
And the community piece of this to me is very, you know, very valuable.

416
00:43:54,610 --> 00:44:06,890
And so I don't think of this as overwhelming, because it's a nice document resource that we've been looking for for years.

417
00:44:07,550 --> 00:44:11,430
Shelly, maybe you remember when I can't remember what the girl's name was,

418
00:44:11,430 --> 00:44:15,650
to try to do the, do you remember the,

419
00:44:16,410 --> 00:44:16,930
healthy?

420
00:44:17,710 --> 00:44:19,610
Well, is it Shelby?

421
00:44:20,530 --> 00:44:23,290
Yes, yes, Shelby, we've been looking for this

422
00:44:23,290 --> 00:44:25,230
for years and years and years, right?

423
00:44:25,350 --> 00:44:28,230
And so I feel like now we have this document

424
00:44:28,230 --> 00:44:31,250
and it's a great way to plug people in.

425
00:44:31,810 --> 00:44:34,510
So would you agree that that's a fair statement,

426
00:44:34,750 --> 00:44:37,630
just that, you know, it's things that already exist,

427
00:44:37,830 --> 00:44:39,870
but now we know how to push it forward

428
00:44:39,870 --> 00:44:43,630
because we have them categorized, if you will.

429
00:44:44,690 --> 00:44:45,810
And we have, like you said,

430
00:44:45,910 --> 00:44:47,470
we have a lot of input from community.

431
00:44:48,450 --> 00:44:52,210
Right, but you took that input and made it in, like,

432
00:44:52,590 --> 00:44:54,890
no one was saying, just still did it in a way that's,

433
00:44:54,890 --> 00:44:59,350
I mean, you don't have to read all of the pages in order to understand the goals.

434
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:14,540
And the strategies, I don't think, because there's a lot of people already doing work in the food system, but it gives them a place to plug in that similar to maybe five other organizations, and that's where we can pull them together for that collaborative piece.

435
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,780
But just go ahead, you were going to say something, I think.

436
00:45:17,780 --> 00:45:24,940
echoing what you're saying, where it's kind of like, there's already a lot of good work happening in

437
00:45:24,940 --> 00:45:31,880
food systems and so anyway, like Noah was saying with the collaboration piece, it's not just this,

438
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:38,480
but one, I think strong thing will be to bring organizations together and find synergies and just sort of like

439
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:45,880
be able to amplify that we're even more the work that's actually already happening. And then I do think another piece of,

440
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:55,180
kind of a whole idea about how to get city and county governments enacted and working on this

441
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:04,000
and anyway. So something like this is where the idea is to kind of use this as a tool,

442
00:46:04,020 --> 00:46:09,780
a lever and to kind of work with the comprehensive plan to apartments and bring together people.

443
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:15,860
We had a really cool government staff input meetings, so you know how we did the goals and

444
00:46:15,860 --> 00:46:22,260
strategies, feedback session with the councils, Nick and I also did one of those with City of

445
00:46:22,260 --> 00:46:27,460
Madison and Dink County Government staff from a lot of different departments. We just kind

446
00:46:27,460 --> 00:46:31,460
of thought of all the different departments and people that we knew or that we could think

447
00:46:31,460 --> 00:46:39,600
of that had some connection to food systems and that was a really interdepartmental group and

448
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:47,440
a lot of really good input and was pretty, I don't know, felt it was really inspiring to think

449
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:53,400
that kind of conversation to keep being able to have more not just conversations, but just

450
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:59,700
make a space where we can create like an interdepartmental addressing of this because right now

451
00:46:59,700 --> 00:47:04,960
it's just it's kind of in some pieces of it or happening in a lot of different departments, but then

452
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,200
they're all existing sort of siloed.

453
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,400
Yeah, so you're trying to break the silo's down.

454
00:47:10,660 --> 00:47:14,080
So then is the spreadsheet a way to collect data

455
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:18,060
to help understand what other organizations are doing,

456
00:47:18,220 --> 00:47:21,740
so you can see similar work being done

457
00:47:21,740 --> 00:47:25,100
or I'm not exactly sure what that works.

458
00:47:27,090 --> 00:47:29,890
Well, my guess and just we know other my guess,

459
00:47:30,210 --> 00:47:33,490
but I'm a, I'm a really look at it much,

460
00:47:33,690 --> 00:47:34,470
but I think it's, you know,

461
00:47:34,470 --> 00:47:36,570
there's the goals, the strategies, and the spreadsheet,

462
00:47:36,830 --> 00:47:38,930
is the actions that can take place.

463
00:47:39,450 --> 00:47:42,490
Right, are we recording those from various entities

464
00:47:42,490 --> 00:47:46,970
that are doing the work or kind of filling out the rest

465
00:47:46,970 --> 00:47:49,830
of the column sort of thing of who's right now

466
00:47:49,830 --> 00:47:52,650
the document, someone could look at and say,

467
00:47:52,810 --> 00:47:57,510
these are great ideas, but unless you spell out who's doing,

468
00:47:57,890 --> 00:48:00,610
who's going to do what, and how this is sort of the more

469
00:48:00,610 --> 00:48:05,810
specifics, like it all it is, it's just like a lot of really, you know, a lot of ideas.

470
00:48:06,710 --> 00:48:06,770
Yeah.

471
00:48:06,770 --> 00:48:10,790
I guess maybe I should say, who's going to fill that out?

472
00:48:10,870 --> 00:48:12,870
Do the entities doing the worked?

473
00:48:12,890 --> 00:48:15,690
Because it seems sensible to me that there would be a really,

474
00:48:16,190 --> 00:48:22,030
it would be really nice of a central document where people could enter what they're doing, right?

475
00:48:22,590 --> 00:48:25,470
And so others could see that, like a living document.

476
00:48:25,770 --> 00:48:28,590
I don't know how that could be done, but you know,

477
00:48:28,590 --> 00:48:34,230
I don't know if the text is possible, but it would be kind of interesting if other people

478
00:48:34,230 --> 00:48:39,130
could see that because especially smaller organizations, we know that there's a lot of them

479
00:48:39,130 --> 00:48:45,450
who want to participate, but they don't really know how to get funding or how to plug in,

480
00:48:46,530 --> 00:48:50,150
but if they had, and they don't have a lot of time, right? So if there was some kind of document

481
00:48:50,150 --> 00:48:55,610
that they could access and say, oh, so and so is doing this, I know somebody over there, I could reach

482
00:48:55,610 --> 00:49:03,150
out to them. I mean, because we don't really have a, you know, a person to call 911 here.

483
00:49:03,290 --> 00:49:08,950
We are, you know, F-O-D. Here we are. So, you know, a kind of, that would be kind of an

484
00:49:08,950 --> 00:49:15,610
interesting, um, a way for people to engage, I think. And then last final thing would be, um,

485
00:49:15,610 --> 00:49:24,350
unless you have a comment about that, um, is there, I guess I'm always protective and some

486
00:49:24,350 --> 00:49:30,830
concerned about doing more harm than good. And I understand there's a lot of effort that

487
00:49:30,830 --> 00:49:33,150
went into these, right? But then

488
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:41,980
what am I trying to say here? How if any way are we going to

489
00:49:41,980 --> 00:49:52,000
know that some of this worked and do more harm? Especially I guess in the food access area for specific

490
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:59,680
groups who already have disparities barriers that

491
00:50:00,430 --> 00:50:06,630
Our pretty profound at times, especially during financial crises and so forth,

492
00:50:08,990 --> 00:50:17,450
there's not really an overseeing body, so therefore, you know, does that problem get worse? Does that make sense?

493
00:50:18,450 --> 00:50:27,690
Yeah, but kind of evaluation plan, right? Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know if we were doing measurables, but I guess that's kind of what that is.

494
00:50:29,110 --> 00:50:48,730
And in the implementation grant that's been applied for lots only a small area of the whole plan, but there is, there is, you know, a thing at the end of what we're just saying, the evaluation is, is looking at the end of it if we get the grant.

495
00:50:49,430 --> 00:50:55,150
And that's like that's going to be like a food recovery and trying to keep more food out

496
00:50:55,150 --> 00:51:00,090
of waste in some of the processing of food that would go to waste.

497
00:51:01,490 --> 00:51:09,150
And you know, one thing I already, this has, you know, we had Greek fair share and rooted

498
00:51:10,370 --> 00:51:16,350
all in the same room a few times and so and they're all fighting for the same money usually

499
00:51:16,350 --> 00:51:21,010
so to get them all in the same room and working together on a grant was kind of cool.

500
00:51:21,430 --> 00:51:25,510
But that's a really good example, Bill, because, you know, in the emergency food system,

501
00:51:26,250 --> 00:51:34,770
you gotta take a lot of deli foods, bakery, really not healthy foods in order to get some of

502
00:51:34,770 --> 00:51:41,030
those other foods that you really do want. So, you know, that to me is more harmful than good

503
00:51:41,030 --> 00:51:47,770
to have the food that, you know, non-profits can't really always, they don't always have the money

504
00:51:47,770 --> 00:51:55,130
to throw that out and it is waste in a lot of cases or you get right at this time of the year,

505
00:51:55,130 --> 00:52:04,130
you know, 18 tons of corn and you can't distribute it all. So, you know, we had processing

506
00:52:04,130 --> 00:52:09,890
of some kind, but that's another day we'll talk about. But I guess I'm just saying, you know,

507
00:52:09,890 --> 00:52:17,350
I can't think of another example off the top of my head except that it's just, it causes a lot of health harms, right?

508
00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:26,170
Yeah, well I figured my next project is to figure out how to get old and stale bread into a heating mechanism for like a wood burner.

509
00:52:28,470 --> 00:52:31,590
Oh, my smell good, you know, a little toast.

510
00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:34,810
Sounds like there's a lot of old bread out there.

511
00:52:35,010 --> 00:52:35,210
I

512
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,780
did have a question.

513
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:48,500
based on what's surely just there. So as it relates to harm, right? So are there any

514
00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:55,800
safe guys that only put in place, I guess, to make sure that

515
00:52:58,590 --> 00:52:59,870
monopolies don't emerge

516
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:06,570
from this process. For example, the example that you just gave, like having the big three

517
00:53:06,570 --> 00:53:14,230
and a room competing for those dollars, right? How I guess if it has been thought about it all,

518
00:53:14,870 --> 00:53:18,970
how is the equity piece to make sure that these already large,

519
00:53:20,770 --> 00:53:28,490
relatively better funded organizations are not receiving the lion's share of resources that

520
00:53:28,490 --> 00:53:34,010
may or may not come in as a result of being able to look at this document and say, hey,

521
00:53:34,010 --> 00:53:40,150
This is what community needs, therefore, you know, we're here in the, you know,

522
00:53:41,010 --> 00:53:47,470
because we're bus infrastructure and now we're all collaborating, you know,

523
00:53:47,790 --> 00:53:54,170
because that could potentially a cut smaller non-profits out of being in two exes funds.

524
00:53:55,070 --> 00:54:01,530
And let's stop a large producer or, you know, a government of large producers from

525
00:54:01,530 --> 00:54:13,530
pivoting from a corn for animal feed and switching over to something that pushes small

526
00:54:13,530 --> 00:54:18,770
producers out of a certain market for food for human consumption. So I guess is there

527
00:54:18,770 --> 00:54:24,950
anything that's been talked about to look at the ethical piece of making sure that

528
00:54:24,950 --> 00:54:33,170
It is still some equity for the resources that may come out of this as we try to do.

529
00:54:33,810 --> 00:54:33,990
Yes.

530
00:54:33,990 --> 00:54:34,790
Oh, my, if you're an idea.

531
00:54:34,970 --> 00:54:35,270
Yeah.

532
00:54:35,430 --> 00:54:36,390
That's the same thing.

533
00:54:36,390 --> 00:54:37,830
Thank you for all written it down.

534
00:54:38,230 --> 00:54:38,550
Yeah.

535
00:54:39,950 --> 00:54:46,130
This is similar to what we've seen in the homeless in campus and everything where we ended up

536
00:54:46,130 --> 00:54:51,710
pretty much with only two providers and there's good and bad for that.

537
00:54:51,710 --> 00:54:59,650
What you look at more in the mental health area at THFs you see.

538
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:29,240
A lot of different providers from journey to the racist center to others, providing it. The problem with some of that is they all start the same overhead over the again, which means, yeah, you're dividing it up and you're having small providers and everything, but that also means you're losing some economy of scale that causes you to have to pay for basic stuff that if everybody was using the same basic, like simple thing, the same software system.

539
00:55:29,240 --> 00:55:37,800
We pay for it once. Okay, if we do it with five different things and they're all using different ones, we're in effect paper at five times.

540
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:46,520
So you're in a case like this where you're talking food distribution, wouldn't it be better to have one distribution network?

541
00:55:47,060 --> 00:55:49,920
Or is it better to have five different distribution networks?

542
00:55:50,460 --> 00:55:52,900
You can see where you're losing money on part of that.

543
00:55:52,900 --> 00:55:58,700
But also, yeah, you don't want to have one provider starting to set the rules that it causes

544
00:55:58,700 --> 00:56:04,920
a problem with the system. But also, if you divide it up too small, I create a different problem.

545
00:56:06,020 --> 00:56:11,680
I think it's something like this. It's really going to be case by case based on what is the implementation

546
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:18,800
factor. For example, if we're looking at, I like the idea of community gardens and they work,

547
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:32,990
But they only work if they're in the neighborhood, they don't work with one giant community garden sitting at one park that half the county can't get to you know what could does that to you spending more in gas than the food was worth.

548
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:45,600
But if you're looking at more regional distribution, having a want to key food pantry and having river and having the other ones, it makes sense to divide up a bit into those communities.

549
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:50,300
So I think it's, I don't think it's going to be a one-fits-all policy on this.

550
00:56:50,460 --> 00:56:55,100
It's going to be based on what are you trying to implement in that part of the plan.

551
00:56:55,520 --> 00:57:02,640
Does it make more sense to be Tony White or community based? Is that it?

552
00:57:02,820 --> 00:57:04,680
Dan? Thanks, Dan?

553
00:57:05,660 --> 00:57:11,360
Yeah, I mean, these are good discussions and I think good things to keep discussion going on.

554
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:20,320
But we have one of the areas talked briefly with the food shed that, and I think that I

555
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:26,000
kind of get raised on some of this, is how, how do we connect? Well, what does regional

556
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:35,760
even mean is one question to begin with? And I don't mind understanding right now that the food

557
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:41,880
shed and adding maybe you can clarify on this, but I don't think the food shed is connected

558
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:47,560
into the super transport cooperative that was that some food hub is running and I think

559
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:57,940
that's a huge piece here of both to be connecting for the local aggregation, how do you connect

560
00:57:57,940 --> 00:58:05,740
into more of regional aggregation both for food going out and coming in that I think that's something

561
00:58:05,740 --> 00:58:10,780
that maybe does need to be looked at a little bit closer, and I would even say within this

562
00:58:10,780 --> 00:58:15,540
plan of how might that connect. But I had one other thing on this plan that when I was reading

563
00:58:15,540 --> 00:58:21,860
at the healthcare piece and encouraging, I don't have it right in front of me, but basically

564
00:58:23,140 --> 00:58:31,320
encouraging investments or putting resources in, and my thinking is really how do you use this

565
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:36,420
encourage the hospitals, the health care companies that have the resources, have the money,

566
00:58:36,620 --> 00:58:43,700
health care is big business. One of my friends who's some parachute thing going overhead with

567
00:58:43,700 --> 00:58:49,900
the motor on it, it's supposed to allow to apologize. But I got a friend who works in the tribal liaison

568
00:58:49,900 --> 00:58:54,880
for one of the health care companies and he told me health care is big business. You know,

569
00:58:54,980 --> 00:59:00,920
really it's one of the biggest businesses we have. And to me, just that, that little bit of language

570
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:08,680
with in the food plan, I would hope to be trying to encourage leveraging the money the resources

571
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:14,440
that are there within the healthcare systems. How do you get them to put it in? We're not necessarily

572
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:22,240
looking for the county to be putting more money in or if absolutely as a catalyst to getting more

573
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:28,540
of those broader resources that are there. That's a small point but I think it's really important

574
00:59:28,540 --> 00:59:33,540
that there's huge resources there that aren't necessarily going to local foods now.

575
00:59:33,780 --> 00:59:38,400
But I was just one small thing that I had noticed within the language of the planet itself,

576
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,780
but maybe just thinking about that training.

577
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:47,000
When you name the community stakeholders, and you don't list anchor institutions,

578
00:59:47,180 --> 00:59:51,140
which I think is what you're just thinking about, maybe.

579
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,340
Like how it's UW-Madison using this, how it's UW-Hell.

580
00:59:55,340 --> 00:59:59,980
Yeah, yeah, how are they using it and I mean, I mentioned it all

581
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:21,440
So, I'm in the morning, 530 to the airport to go down to Arizona, the National Indian Health Board has been meeting that, but we were invited by tribal leaders to go down and to talk about to look at how Arizona is using Medicaid waivers to be promoting traditional practices and food as medicine.

582
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:30,340
So, you know, that's kind of that example of, you know, how to capture more of those resources

583
01:00:30,340 --> 01:00:34,340
and dollars to put towards supporting local foods.

584
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:40,540
So, again, just somewhat, somewhat just the framing was something I noticed when a review

585
01:00:40,540 --> 01:00:42,700
in a plan that probably language was said.

586
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:57,800
Yeah, and I just I just want to circle back for the sake of clarity. I wasn't necessarily looking for an answer. I was I was more so pointing out

587
01:00:58,900 --> 01:01:03,980
That I just think there needs to be some sort of some sort of something

588
01:01:05,140 --> 01:01:09,020
That's that sort of in place to kind of watch out for there

589
01:01:09,020 --> 01:01:18,040
And I was thinking just broadly, but also more specifically from a food sovereignty's sort of standpoint,

590
01:01:19,140 --> 01:01:26,020
when you get down in the weeds of like, you know, the different culturally relevant foods and things like that,

591
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:28,300
that are mentioned.

592
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,140
I know they talked about teaching gardening skills and things like that,

593
01:01:32,140 --> 01:01:43,480
But just kind of from a not having such a having a big brother sort of mentality and then also just trying to make sure that smaller entities don't feel

594
01:01:45,300 --> 01:01:46,580
pressured into

595
01:01:46,580 --> 01:01:48,760
sort of

596
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,220
Going up for their couple of

597
01:01:51,220 --> 01:01:53,480
Rational food to some larger

598
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:58,260
entity that might not of whatever reason be

599
01:01:58,260 --> 01:02:01,460
Good fit or that might create some sort of like a

600
01:02:03,660 --> 01:02:09,560
power dynamic in the process. So, I wasn't, you know, I asked him for one size fits all

601
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:16,020
on him, just this, my intent is kind of lit up a little bit, but based on what I've

602
01:02:16,020 --> 01:02:16,980
waited in the conversation.

603
01:02:19,740 --> 01:02:22,800
Yeah, I really appreciate you bringing that up. That's really

604
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:24,240
important. Thank you.

605
01:02:29,030 --> 01:02:30,350
Anybody else?

606
01:02:32,850 --> 01:02:35,630
Well, now that we've done all of this discussion, do we have

607
01:02:35,630 --> 01:02:41,010
motion to move to a crew and send them on to the camera room.

608
01:02:41,470 --> 01:02:41,550
Second.

609
01:02:42,690 --> 01:02:44,110
So let's see.

610
01:02:44,250 --> 01:02:44,410
Yeah.

611
01:02:44,590 --> 01:02:46,290
That's where you want to work with them.

612
01:02:48,090 --> 01:02:49,290
All right.

613
01:02:52,850 --> 01:02:55,750
So I was just communicating with the county board.

614
01:02:56,090 --> 01:02:56,170
Yeah.

615
01:02:56,550 --> 01:02:59,510
So moving to approve it.

616
01:02:59,570 --> 01:03:04,530
And then what they were suggesting is either

617
01:03:04,530 --> 01:03:14,410
there could be included a recommendation for inner to review it and or I think that's maybe unnecessary.

618
01:03:15,390 --> 01:03:18,630
Well, inner sort of the parent, the next level up for this committee.

619
01:03:19,010 --> 01:03:30,290
But I think the other, the piece that's maybe more relevant is if DCFC wanted to include in the motion that accounting board resolution will be drafted.

620
01:03:30,290 --> 01:03:37,370
then that could set into motion a process to put together a resolution and communicate certain

621
01:03:37,370 --> 01:03:48,110
things to the board and then you said DFC or DCF to the action point, the draft action

622
01:03:48,110 --> 01:03:56,250
plan we've seen tonight and recommend a resolution be put together to where action taken

623
01:03:56,250 --> 01:04:00,350
but can I vote in whatever action it is?

624
01:04:01,470 --> 01:04:05,650
I was a little uncomfortable with that only in the sense that there doesn't seem to be

625
01:04:05,650 --> 01:04:12,830
a structure for who owns this plan once it's done and this would in effect turn it into

626
01:04:12,830 --> 01:04:17,350
a day-to-day structure but we do have to present something.

627
01:04:17,350 --> 01:04:25,230
And I can say we just do it and send it to Nina as part of the grant process, to complete

628
01:04:25,230 --> 01:04:26,070
that.

629
01:04:26,230 --> 01:04:32,210
But as far as saying that it becomes a day counting plan, seems to go far beyond what the

630
01:04:32,210 --> 01:04:38,030
grant was, and kind of takes everybody else out of bed.

631
01:04:38,610 --> 01:04:43,450
I'm not sure what was just in presentation to take getting bored or yeah, I don't think.

632
01:04:43,450 --> 01:04:43,670
I don't think.

633
01:04:43,670 --> 01:04:46,570
Turn it over to the Internet and let them decide what to do.

634
01:04:46,570 --> 01:04:50,310
I mean, I'd love to read what the original grant was and what the first was.

635
01:04:50,570 --> 01:04:54,970
Well apparently, the thing counties supported the grant or supported half the grant

636
01:04:54,970 --> 01:04:56,750
so they paid for half of it.

637
01:04:57,210 --> 01:04:59,970
So it's a, it's a, it's a county, a, a, a, a, a, a, a.

638
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,360
And I would say at least we had the present.

639
01:05:05,460 --> 01:05:14,780
I mean, as far as, I think, what is actually required, like, the money that the county

640
01:05:14,780 --> 01:05:22,420
allotted for this plan to be put together has already been paid out and like that, the

641
01:05:22,420 --> 01:05:29,500
think out of contracting process, like the deliverable was submitted. And so there aren't

642
01:05:29,500 --> 01:05:35,060
any more like hard and fast requirements. I mean, like, this is satisfied.

643
01:05:35,540 --> 01:05:40,880
Well, then can you just gave it a money? And we have to give them a food action book. Yeah.

644
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:45,860
Yeah, we have to give them a food action book. Yeah. Well, I mean, it was give it. So, like, extension,

645
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:52,020
the contract, the actual county contract was administered by extension to read food group. Okay.

646
01:05:52,020 --> 01:06:03,220
And so that like has been the deliverable like that this plan has been delivered to extension to like satisfy that contract.

647
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:10,020
So I think and I think to Dave's point like it's not that it's.

648
01:06:10,900 --> 01:06:18,240
I don't think the idea is like you're saying that this is taken on and like taken over or something by Dean County,

649
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:25,880
but I think that there's an interest in getting this to the eyes of the Dean County Board

650
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:32,420
and perhaps something like a resolution would include something like a recommendation for the

651
01:06:32,420 --> 01:06:37,040
directing the county board to look at it and maybe specific recommendations or

652
01:06:38,980 --> 01:06:44,940
you know what the ask is for the county board of how to how to use it or how to engage with

653
01:06:44,940 --> 01:06:51,480
type of thing. That's kind of cool. And we'll start it complicated. I would say at the very least

654
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:57,580
is some presentation. Yeah, yeah. A special beginning of typically when I was on the board,

655
01:06:57,820 --> 01:07:04,760
there was a presentation, UW did a couple of those and sort of other departments. Just saying that

656
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:12,260
to the county quarters office and asking me if we can get on to your own. You may give a presentation

657
01:07:12,260 --> 01:07:15,640
in order to give the presentation to the county board,

658
01:07:15,740 --> 01:07:18,000
and this is what it is to slide show, is like we saw.

659
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,200
But other than that, I don't know why we have to take the action,

660
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,020
or if we don't recommend somebody,

661
01:07:24,540 --> 01:07:27,260
why is there any action being needed by the county and food council?

662
01:07:27,900 --> 01:07:30,400
Well, I guess it's just like, when a few years ago,

663
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:35,960
when we did the county pandemic food system study,

664
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,420
that was, I guess we're just following a similar process to that,

665
01:07:39,420 --> 01:07:44,980
it received funding from the county in order to happen. And so in a way it was commissioned

666
01:07:44,980 --> 01:07:51,100
by the county to happen. And then when that was done, the entity that carried out that study

667
01:07:51,100 --> 01:07:57,920
presented back to DCFC took in action to approve the study and the report.

668
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:02,560
and then sit in the Danke, Danke Food and Calcalsals.

669
01:08:03,140 --> 01:08:12,400
So, you know, this, you know, came part of the, you'd like to extension files, or the files of this committee.

670
01:08:13,260 --> 01:08:17,660
Or did they actually go through the county board and become part of the county board record?

671
01:08:17,660 --> 01:08:21,380
I don't know that that one became part of the county board record.

672
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,400
I think it did because I, so I really did.

673
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:29,640
I wasn't coming forward at that time, and I think it did.

674
01:08:32,630 --> 01:08:37,850
I mean, to me, I think if there's any money taxpayer money is given for any project,

675
01:08:38,410 --> 01:08:42,590
it should at least be presented to the county board and it could fit in the representatives of the community.

676
01:08:43,890 --> 01:08:47,990
And at least present it, and they could take action on whether they want to keep it throughout,

677
01:08:49,070 --> 01:08:50,490
or they only take action on it.

678
01:08:50,630 --> 01:08:51,650
It doesn't look at it.

679
01:08:51,970 --> 01:08:53,630
And that happens many, many times.

680
01:08:53,630 --> 01:08:59,550
Okay. And that should be the basis of whatever approval motion we're talking about today.

681
01:08:59,730 --> 01:09:02,910
Okay. That is move on to the county boards. And I so moved.

682
01:09:03,190 --> 01:09:06,090
Oh, you should move through the committee that's above us.

683
01:09:06,230 --> 01:09:10,650
I think it should be right to the county board. And they they want to refer to the committee for action.

684
01:09:11,050 --> 01:09:18,040
And they can do it. So presented as a presentation and sent to the county courts office.

685
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:19,520
Nothing else that goes into file.

686
01:09:23,210 --> 01:09:26,410
And I recommend or move that we do that.

687
01:09:27,210 --> 01:09:31,170
And, very second, everybody understand that.

688
01:09:31,230 --> 01:09:36,610
So, yeah, let me get the wording to approve the motion to approve.

689
01:09:36,790 --> 01:09:40,630
The draft, you know, approve plan.

690
01:09:42,190 --> 01:09:46,250
And send it on through the county first office for further action.

691
01:09:48,460 --> 01:09:52,320
And then talk to you, somebody contact the county first office, see if you can give a presentation.

692
01:09:52,940 --> 01:09:53,220
Okay.

693
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:57,200
Yeah, I've been in touch with the county board office.

694
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:08,900
The presentation before you have dropped the miles. The chair. Yeah, right now they're clear. Whatever, but one of the whoever you're going to do, okay.

695
01:10:08,900 --> 01:10:11,200
You can on the on the agenda to give a presentation.

696
01:10:12,980 --> 01:10:13,540
Okay.

697
01:10:16,260 --> 01:10:17,440
And certainly second it.

698
01:10:17,540 --> 01:10:17,840
Okay.

699
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:24,020
Thank you.

700
01:10:24,020 --> 01:10:25,700
Sorry to make that. Didn't make it clear.

701
01:10:26,020 --> 01:10:28,980
But it is you are right. We call.

702
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,500
I'm sorry to think you're getting worded take action on.

703
01:10:31,500 --> 01:10:37,880
You know, partly, I just want to make it feel that everybody who's not coming forward, whether it's the sitting year.

704
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:42,200
I mean, what I looked at people who actually drafted it, there's no coming board there.

705
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:43,680
There's no comedy there.

706
01:10:44,260 --> 01:10:46,960
Or a day in California, just thinking of who else else there.

707
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,520
So that's what I'd rather keep it. I'd rather keep it. I'd rather keep it.

708
01:10:50,660 --> 01:10:54,140
I'd rather keep it. I'd rather keep it. I'd rather keep it. I'd rather keep it.

709
01:10:55,300 --> 01:10:57,300
Because I think you'll get you less fired.

710
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:08,280
Okay. All right. I assume there's no more discussion on favor, say aye, raise your hand.

711
01:11:11,300 --> 01:11:18,840
Those posts, your unanimous to me. All right. Thank you guys. But then if we know what you did.

712
01:11:19,180 --> 01:11:22,880
Thank you guys for working on that committee. That was a good job.

713
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,300
who play on the pitch. Very, very good. Very good.

714
01:11:27,260 --> 01:11:29,240
Oh, and I, it's not.

715
01:11:31,260 --> 01:11:32,400
You can cut out here.

716
01:11:35,700 --> 01:11:38,580
Actually, and so reports.

717
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,340
Any food shed partnership or food shed partnership project?

718
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:47,300
Yeah, we had last week, August 11th.

719
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,200
We had the ribbon cutting for the food shed partnership.

720
01:11:51,180 --> 01:11:56,980
an innovative forward thinking farmer from our community was there to actually cut that

721
01:11:56,980 --> 01:12:04,720
said ribbon. This is Bill, I kind of ribbing him slightly. But we had widespread participation

722
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:11,660
from over 200 people come to the food shed on a rainy rainy day, squeeze all in together to

723
01:12:11,660 --> 01:12:17,180
celebrate, take tours, taste test the first product coming out of the food shed, which is called

724
01:12:17,180 --> 01:12:24,540
West Mara Nera, and it is a large volume tomato sauce product that we got to do some

725
01:12:24,540 --> 01:12:26,080
taste testing on the early recipes.

726
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:33,340
There we had county executive eggards spoke as well

727
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:40,380
as this, oh, I'm not going to get the titles right, but it represents a different debt cap talking

728
01:12:40,380 --> 01:12:46,900
about the resilient food infrastructure program that funded the project and the success that

729
01:12:46,900 --> 01:12:51,780
infrastructure investments that they're making across the whole state. It was a great event.

730
01:12:52,580 --> 01:12:58,660
It was a big kickoff and I think there was a lot of real good wind in our sales going forward.

731
01:13:00,980 --> 01:13:05,960
Good chance to open you. Any questions or comments for Eddie?

732
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:13,820
All right. Danny, thank you from Scott's improved systems. Thanks. No.

733
01:13:13,820 --> 01:13:21,240
Great. Then, basically, we're going on to the, uh, there's not really,

734
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:26,460
not really reports, then that's all of them. Uh, so we'll go into the,

735
01:13:26,460 --> 01:13:31,380
think kind of reconciled focus and future direction. Um,

736
01:13:33,940 --> 01:13:35,100
how do we want to start that?

737
01:13:35,460 --> 01:13:41,520
Well, I mean, I think, we left that on there. I don't know if we had to.

738
01:13:42,660 --> 01:13:48,220
We're with all that get into that, but to be continued, I don't know, maybe, but I think

739
01:13:48,220 --> 01:13:52,420
especially in light of, we were already kind of talking about some with the discussion

740
01:13:52,420 --> 01:13:59,320
around the food system action plan, but um, I want to discuss more on that tonight or put

741
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:00,660
it on next month's agenda.

742
01:14:01,940 --> 01:14:04,900
I'm happy we moved to table at the next month of agenda.

743
01:14:08,260 --> 01:14:11,580
All those in favor of tailoring it to next month for age of hand,

744
01:14:15,860 --> 01:14:16,560
I suppose we should ask

745
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:22,220
second on the motion first, but certainly is that each second in the motion? Thank you.

746
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:30,180
So we remind the tape and start over. Actually, there's only actually six members of the community

747
01:14:30,180 --> 01:14:36,980
here, right? One, two, three, four by seven. Seven? And three here and four out there.

748
01:14:37,220 --> 01:14:41,620
When you have seven or less of a committee of Dean Culling, you don't require a sign.

749
01:14:41,620 --> 01:14:44,840
But we have nine total, but we have seven showing here.

750
01:14:44,980 --> 01:14:45,060
Right.

751
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:45,880
You have seven.

752
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:47,720
Oh, I think.

753
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:48,680
Okay.

754
01:14:49,340 --> 01:14:49,480
Cool.

755
01:14:50,140 --> 01:14:51,120
But don't rewind.

756
01:14:52,620 --> 01:14:53,100
All right.

757
01:14:55,820 --> 01:14:59,660
So then next thing is in person meetings gatherings.

758
01:15:03,250 --> 01:15:13,990
What was that following in future focus? Or is that something we want to talk about? See if we can still, I know Dan, suggesting Anderson Park, can we try to have a meeting out there in September, October?

759
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:41,120
So I think one piece that's come up like with Bill and Shirley and I have we talked about is or a key question I guess is are folks wanting to have an off site meeting or an off site gathering or some combination and we are allowed to have in person only meetings.

760
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:44,440
In other words, we don't have to have a hybrid component.

761
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:47,840
And I think like if we met at Anderson Farm,

762
01:15:48,460 --> 01:15:50,940
I don't think it would be very,

763
01:15:50,940 --> 01:15:54,880
I don't know, maybe it would be doable. It might be hard to have a hybrid component,

764
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,120
but so that's just kind of the question is whether it's,

765
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,480
that helps us with planning to figure out whether folks are wanting to do a meeting,

766
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:06,220
to try to do a meeting and try to have quorum for a meeting

767
01:16:06,220 --> 01:16:09,380
and if that's, or if it's more of a gathering or how.

768
01:16:10,820 --> 01:16:14,960
Who would have moved it post a meeting out of there?

769
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:16,320
Wooden?

770
01:16:16,780 --> 01:16:18,100
You're saying like it?

771
01:16:18,140 --> 01:16:19,080
I just had a gathering.

772
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:21,800
Both the gathering, how there are some of them,

773
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,040
they had any other public gathering.

774
01:16:24,900 --> 01:16:28,440
And maybe invite some people not necessarily within our organization,

775
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:30,520
but outside our organizations.

776
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:32,780
A little bit,

777
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,840
a county board, other county board members,

778
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,120
but then what's on the county date.

779
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:41,480
What if we had a meeting out there and well we could we could but I mean it's

780
01:16:42,460 --> 01:16:43,340
one again

781
01:16:43,340 --> 01:16:47,400
Well, we would always have a part meeting when I was a little injured and

782
01:16:48,900 --> 01:16:55,420
But it was always just the members of the committee and I'd like to probably invite more people out there

783
01:16:55,420 --> 01:17:00,840
But she'd stay in County people if we're gonna have a meeting. I'm gonna have a gathering out there and have a

784
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,600
I don't have a presentation by rooted about what's going on out there

785
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:14,840
And so maybe raise questions, give everybody an opportunity to raise questions about, like Dan mentioned, about processing and other things that we might want to address over the next 12 months.

786
01:17:15,540 --> 01:17:25,680
So let's start looking at some of the facilities we have and see how they fit into the food action plan and then move forward and gives us a little focus too.

787
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:40,460
Would it be valuable also to have a few people that are impacted? I mean, Dan, you're on the council, but other people that are impacted by not having, I think he said there wasn't always water or there's there's not a shed to store.

788
01:17:41,300 --> 01:17:49,780
If we're having other entities come in like rooted, it would be kind of valuable to have maybe a few of the actual producers to share some of their stories.

789
01:17:49,780 --> 01:18:00,280
I think that's great. Yeah. Yeah, to follow up with what Sebastian was saying, it would be valuable in my head to have, you know,

790
01:18:01,440 --> 01:18:08,000
minority producers, you know, there's an extra layer on there's showing some kind of equity there with.

791
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:14,060
Well, I think it's important. We have a listening session out there from the producers and find out what are some.

792
01:18:14,060 --> 01:18:20,220
I guess I'm just saying, let's not have the, I mean, we're always talking about the same entities

793
01:18:20,220 --> 01:18:25,260
and it happens with the pie grants too. It's always the same people. I guess I'm looking

794
01:18:25,260 --> 01:18:32,300
for some others that are impacted that aren't always represented by Reep and, you know, rooted

795
01:18:32,300 --> 01:18:39,620
and all of the major players. That's all I meant. But I think having a formal meeting kind of

796
01:18:39,620 --> 01:18:42,600
that community input out there, or any.

797
01:18:42,700 --> 01:18:44,160
I'm not talking about a meeting.

798
01:18:44,380 --> 01:18:45,060
You said gathering.

799
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,200
Right, that's what I'm talking about, too.

800
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:48,600
I thought you were talking about.

801
01:18:49,020 --> 01:18:51,320
Well, either way, I think it's important that we have

802
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:54,580
listened to some producers out there and get that information.

803
01:18:54,620 --> 01:18:55,500
I agree with you, surely.

804
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:56,660
I'm not finding that.

805
01:18:56,660 --> 01:18:58,660
No, no, I was confused, but you met.

806
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:00,600
I think a gathering would be better also,

807
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:02,180
because sometimes we don't have quorum.

808
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,980
And let's say, you know, five people go out there,

809
01:19:04,980 --> 01:19:06,440
and then we don't have quorum.

810
01:19:06,440 --> 01:19:10,660
kind of irritating, then you can't have the meeting. Just my.

811
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,440
Right. I, I.

812
01:19:14,460 --> 01:19:16,160
When are I doing this?

813
01:19:16,660 --> 01:19:18,600
Well, possibly for us.

814
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:20,600
I brought it up as September meeting.

815
01:19:20,900 --> 01:19:25,100
Because I, I really, you know, we, we always say,

816
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:26,460
nobody knows who we are.

817
01:19:27,100 --> 01:19:30,460
I mean, really, the only reason not to have a meeting

818
01:19:30,460 --> 01:19:32,560
is some people just won't be able to say it at home

819
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:34,260
and come on Zoom and come to the meeting.

820
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:39,480
I think I would prefer to have a meeting out there.

821
01:19:39,780 --> 01:19:44,360
I'd prefer the next year to have three meetings out in the world and is there any reason

822
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:49,160
other than inconvenience that in three years from now we can't have six of our meetings out

823
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:53,840
and about and did talking with the community, being engaged with the community.

824
01:19:54,420 --> 01:19:56,440
And I think this would be a good first step.

825
01:19:56,620 --> 01:19:59,600
I mean, September is going to be well.

826
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:18,220
There's county board meetings every single week, cousin, budget. It almost every committee is having a budget presentation. The only two nights that are open are the 7th and 21st. Otherwise, there's a major committee meeting every single night.

827
01:20:18,900 --> 01:20:25,100
And each one of them is a budget presentation. So none of those common board supervisors are going to miss it.

828
01:20:25,100 --> 01:20:30,880
I'm sure even more than those in public works, I mean, to personal finance and helping

829
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:37,000
the services, but I mean, the county board has one, two, three, four, five full meetings in September.

830
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:44,120
I'll talk about Tuesday next Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, just depends which week.

831
01:20:46,620 --> 01:20:52,700
But let's go out there as a council and listen to the people who are working out there and see what

832
01:20:52,700 --> 01:20:57,940
issues are. If you're trying to draw the boards, you can go. Yeah, I mean, I mean, if you're

833
01:20:57,940 --> 01:21:01,720
feeling better, I'm forward. Yeah, yeah, if we're doing, I mean, like, the growers out there,

834
01:21:01,820 --> 01:21:09,100
all right. Well, what you're saying has a lot of value, but I wonder if as we're launching

835
01:21:09,100 --> 01:21:15,820
this plan, right? And the community starts to become engaged with it. Maybe we grow into

836
01:21:15,820 --> 01:21:21,820
what you're talking about. I don't know that a committee meeting, I mean, a council meeting

837
01:21:21,820 --> 01:21:27,800
is very enticing at the beginning here if you don't really know a lot, but once, you know,

838
01:21:28,180 --> 01:21:32,600
the food plans out there a little more and people are kind of encouraged about what it is,

839
01:21:33,180 --> 01:21:34,920
then they might want to sit through a meeting.

840
01:21:35,260 --> 01:21:37,500
Otherwise, some of this can be a little bit dull.

841
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:41,060
I just mean for somebody who's not engaged with it, right?

842
01:21:41,420 --> 01:21:47,400
But if you have a gathering and get people kind of, you know, involved with what the food

843
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:51,060
system is and what we're talking about and giving them a chance to communicate.

844
01:21:51,060 --> 01:21:55,660
I know you already did that with the food plan, but we're saying getting used to and learning

845
01:21:55,660 --> 01:22:01,900
what the council is before we actually, you know, host the meeting out where I just, that's

846
01:22:01,900 --> 01:22:02,680
my opinion.

847
01:22:03,480 --> 01:22:09,100
I guess my thought would be to be more with a listening and talking session and then after

848
01:22:09,100 --> 01:22:14,540
that's done, we go on to the regular agenda and people can stay or not.

849
01:22:14,940 --> 01:22:21,040
So you start with, say, a pot locker or whatever because you're at a food event and then

850
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:29,340
you have listening session first. So only only whoever is interested in the meeting would

851
01:22:29,340 --> 01:22:36,560
stay. So then we cooperate, we do that first in the meeting and then we go on to minutes

852
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,000
and everything else.

853
01:22:40,130 --> 01:22:42,910
And that would be how I would design all the meetings out in the community

854
01:22:42,910 --> 01:22:48,530
because you want to continue to stay. Yeah, you don't want them to have to sit through minutes and

855
01:22:48,530 --> 01:22:52,690
And the other stuff, another report, unless they choose to be.

856
01:22:54,820 --> 01:23:00,340
Yeah, I really like the idea that, you know, it's removing forward to try to make that happen.

857
01:23:00,620 --> 01:23:04,560
Whether it's possible yet this fall or not, I guess.

858
01:23:04,620 --> 01:23:10,540
I mean, with all the county board meetings, maybe it's going to be a little bit tough.

859
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:14,340
I don't know if folks there in the room can see, I did put in the chat.

860
01:23:14,340 --> 01:23:29,600
I am likely going to be trying to work with rooted to host a field day there, I'm trying to do it with harvesting some of my corn and kind of showing some of that.

861
01:23:29,900 --> 01:23:34,580
But that might just throw in that out there is another possible opportunity.

862
01:23:34,580 --> 01:23:42,480
The part of where I had suggested Anderson is I think there's a lot of mung growers there,

863
01:23:42,580 --> 01:23:45,400
a lot of diversity, it looks beautiful right now.

864
01:23:45,540 --> 01:23:51,600
All the flowers, all that just don't float, that comes off of those fields is great, but

865
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:57,120
then also some of that, you know, the challenges of equipment infrastructure, but seeing how

866
01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:02,260
people are able to kind of adapt to just work with one another a little bit, and there's

867
01:24:02,260 --> 01:24:08,880
pantry guard end there too. So those were some of the reasons why I suggested Anderson,

868
01:24:09,480 --> 01:24:15,900
but if timing is going to be tight this fall, maybe it's something we also look ahead for.

869
01:24:19,070 --> 01:24:23,330
Those guys are going to go through all about COVID. I'm just saying, yeah, you know, I'm home.

870
01:24:23,650 --> 01:24:27,210
Yeah, I'm thinking more than, you know, I originally thought, well, maybe we'll get a lot of

871
01:24:27,210 --> 01:24:32,750
Council member, but it is the busy time of the year for Supervisor. I think we are just

872
01:24:32,750 --> 01:24:39,390
go out there as a food council, not saying your time is not a valuable either, but be part

873
01:24:39,390 --> 01:24:47,430
of food council and be a listening group, you know, and talk, and talk with the growers out there

874
01:24:47,430 --> 01:24:51,870
and Dan, you seem to be optimistic that we can get a lot of people out there who are using that

875
01:24:51,870 --> 01:24:57,390
space come to talk to us about some of the challenges. Let's listen to those challenges and let's

876
01:24:57,390 --> 01:24:59,650
use that as a kind of a model to go forward with.

877
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:15,940
And let's do it next month in September, you know, why the weather's still good in, you know, October is going to be pretty much dead gardens, or, you know, in the decision, I'd like to get it there before the season ends. If this looks that night, I've been out there too, Dan, and it looks beautiful.

878
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:23,740
Yeah, you want to do it lots of work. Yeah. And have the people come out and give us an earful and maybe when we want to go out there or not to agree.

879
01:25:23,740 --> 01:25:29,660
You know what you might want to do is contact the coming execs office and see it shunt them all.

880
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:35,340
That would drive interest to drive a little bit of grass and drive maybe more people showing

881
01:25:35,340 --> 01:25:36,820
that as a plant.

882
01:25:37,540 --> 01:25:41,400
That would be a way to try to get.

883
01:25:41,940 --> 01:25:53,720
But you know this is do a listing session and be listeners and can kind of tell people and you know

884
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:58,660
of it, and talk to people about, get the practice of part of the food system's plan that I heard

885
01:25:58,660 --> 01:26:03,620
that we were going to have community meetings, and let's try a community meeting up there.

886
01:26:04,460 --> 01:26:10,360
That's what I was thinking, Carl, and, you know, it's kind of an organic way to spread information,

887
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,280
and plant some seeds, yes, I said it.

888
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:19,490
I like you comment about the boring session.

889
01:26:22,130 --> 01:26:30,130
But just being until we got ourselves really organized, I don't think people, you know, this isn't like, oh, let's go to account for meeting.

890
01:26:31,850 --> 01:26:32,330
Exactly.

891
01:26:32,950 --> 01:26:34,530
And I think it's not going to hurt.

892
01:26:35,430 --> 01:26:36,670
It's not going to hurt to go out there.

893
01:26:36,670 --> 01:26:38,790
He was only four or five of us.

894
01:26:38,870 --> 01:26:41,550
You know, and we can bring that back to a regular meeting.

895
01:26:41,810 --> 01:26:42,830
Maybe the next month.

896
01:26:43,050 --> 01:26:43,350
And we can bring that back to a regular meeting.

897
01:26:43,350 --> 01:26:44,410
And start talking about a strategy.

898
01:26:44,410 --> 01:26:47,650
you know, implement some of the issues that you're done, you own.

899
01:26:48,150 --> 01:26:53,530
So it's not so often about having people come here at a council meeting to talk to us.

900
01:26:53,650 --> 01:26:55,250
Why not take it on the road?

901
01:26:55,610 --> 01:26:59,310
Why make them drive to us, you know, and come up with what to say?

902
01:26:59,710 --> 01:27:03,450
I would like you right here about six meetings out of this room,

903
01:27:03,490 --> 01:27:07,070
because I've been on this committee now the second time around,

904
01:27:07,490 --> 01:27:09,810
and I can count on one hand.

905
01:27:10,210 --> 01:27:12,230
Well, I can't, no, I can count on two fingers.

906
01:27:12,230 --> 01:27:19,030
sometime we met and outside of this on two different, you know, and maybe five or six years of being on this committee.

907
01:27:19,730 --> 01:27:26,810
And it just doesn't, you know, it looks better if we are addressing the needs of the community and we can't do that unless we listen to what the names are.

908
01:27:27,790 --> 01:27:40,230
So Dan, question for you. Is there a day, like I don't know if daytime hours are possible for any of us or if it would have to be in anything, but is there a specific day of the weekend or, you know, time that.

909
01:27:40,230 --> 01:27:43,070
But people would already be there.

910
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:56,000
We dropped off.

911
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:58,380
Oh, if you're talking, you're like,

912
01:27:58,380 --> 01:28:00,360
oh, I've got a hard stop at 730.

913
01:28:02,460 --> 01:28:03,180
Oh, okay.

914
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:07,900
So that's my recommendation that we meet up there.

915
01:28:08,740 --> 01:28:08,920
Okay.

916
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:12,020
Well, how about you and Shirley and I can talk.

917
01:28:12,860 --> 01:28:13,560
I don't know.

918
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:14,920
We're going to next week or.

919
01:28:15,140 --> 01:28:16,760
Well, we're going to be getting involved with that.

920
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:17,440
Yeah.

921
01:28:17,440 --> 01:28:17,620
Yeah.

922
01:28:17,620 --> 01:28:17,660
Yeah.

923
01:28:17,660 --> 01:28:17,740
Yeah.

924
01:28:17,740 --> 01:28:17,860
Yeah.

925
01:28:18,660 --> 01:28:20,520
Just notice it.

926
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:27,220
out there, right? Yeah, just notice it. Yeah. Okay. What do we make it as a gallery?

927
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:33,820
We just notice that as an event, a setting where there might be a potential DCFC

928
01:28:33,820 --> 01:28:34,220
forum,

929
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:42,520
but okay. Well, we'll split up and go into different fields. Actually, make sure

930
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:47,580
there's not a forum. You might want to let the slide start just to try and make sure

931
01:28:47,580 --> 01:28:54,240
don't get one of the full companies for you. Okay. I'm sure. Who's the representative for

932
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:54,960
Anderson from?

933
01:28:57,220 --> 01:29:03,680
I do. I do public job. Jerry, you're public. Oh, okay. Jerry.

934
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:09,260
You're public. Yeah, so as you want to talk about that. Yeah, obviously you mean too

935
01:29:09,260 --> 01:29:15,700
on this community. You want to try and make it. Okay. But I really suggest you are reaching out to

936
01:29:15,700 --> 01:29:18,440
was just trying to write a write letter.

937
01:29:18,860 --> 01:29:19,820
No, not at all.

938
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:20,760
OK.

939
01:29:23,330 --> 01:29:24,270
There's not a lot to see.

940
01:29:24,570 --> 01:29:25,210
It's a comparison.

941
01:29:25,550 --> 01:29:26,390
They don't know who they are.

942
01:29:26,550 --> 01:29:28,630
Well, it's a budget timing with the section.

943
01:29:29,250 --> 01:29:29,930
And right now.

944
01:29:30,390 --> 01:29:31,530
Well, it should be quiet.

945
01:29:31,630 --> 01:29:33,970
It should have submitted by that.

946
01:29:34,010 --> 01:29:34,830
I'll try to show that.

947
01:29:35,090 --> 01:29:35,170
I'll try to show that.

948
01:29:37,430 --> 01:29:38,070
I'll show that.

949
01:29:38,070 --> 01:29:41,890
So then coming up, we have picked us up.

950
01:29:41,890 --> 01:29:44,210
Temporary date for our meeting.

951
01:29:45,130 --> 01:29:47,870
Well, yeah, I would just, so I mean, today's point,

952
01:29:48,610 --> 01:29:51,530
the normally we're scheduled for September 16th,

953
01:29:51,590 --> 01:29:55,790
that's a 10 county budget hearing, that night.

954
01:29:56,070 --> 01:29:59,690
So our two supervisors have a conflict with that.

955
01:29:59,690 --> 01:29:59,850
That's it.

956
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:00,400
Your one and three?

957
01:30:01,380 --> 01:30:12,120
Yeah. All right, it's not a there's not full County Board meeting that night or hearing, but I don't know.

958
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:16,880
Sure there's something on the 23rd.

959
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:29,000
By the way, I'm so sorry. My phone or soldier or something's having issues today. I'd keep having to restart my phone.

960
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:31,760
Sure, right when you were asking it, it froze up.

961
01:30:32,700 --> 01:30:33,960
The 23rd year.

962
01:30:34,140 --> 01:30:35,260
That's okay, I figured.

963
01:30:36,440 --> 01:30:42,200
That's probably the part commissions of 530, but I'm not that's probably not.

964
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:44,580
You've got, I will be in San Diego that week.

965
01:30:46,140 --> 01:30:50,320
I'm also, I'm also, we're, we're hosting a big inner tribal harvest gathering.

966
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:54,700
And September 23rd to 26 up in Hochunk.

967
01:30:54,900 --> 01:30:56,900
So I won't be available on the 23rd.

968
01:30:56,900 --> 01:31:02,160
I have a class of that evening from six today.

969
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:03,920
What was that semester?

970
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,680
It was a class that evening.

971
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:11,740
Well, so I'm going to just have the gathering in September and have meeting in October.

972
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:13,700
Yeah, that sounds good.

973
01:31:13,700 --> 01:31:14,780
Kind of date for the gathering.

974
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:16,200
That sounds good.

975
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:16,780
All right.

976
01:31:17,420 --> 01:31:21,140
So Dan, I guess I don't know if you heard the question or if you haven't

977
01:31:21,140 --> 01:31:26,960
we thought is there a date in September where that might be better than others?

978
01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:39,250
How about the week before the 23rd, the week of the, as soon as we got a calendar?

979
01:31:41,010 --> 01:31:44,370
We can't do Wednesday the 16th, but we don't necessarily have to do a Wednesday.

980
01:31:44,370 --> 01:32:04,510
Do we? The 17th is Health and Human needs, excuse me, personal finances on the 14 which is that Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is coming full coming boards. So we have to do it on Thursday, but Friday. I don't think you want to do a Friday.

981
01:32:04,910 --> 01:32:08,890
No, no Friday. Monday. Do you want to hear people going to fight for budget?

982
01:32:11,190 --> 01:32:15,130
I'd probably avoid money aid, if you're going to over a while, it's your chance,

983
01:32:15,370 --> 01:32:16,050
I'm going to be in practice.

984
01:32:16,310 --> 01:32:18,130
But he needs to talk back.

985
01:32:18,750 --> 01:32:19,670
So we'd probably, Thursday,

986
01:32:21,950 --> 01:32:23,010
that's 15.

987
01:32:27,910 --> 01:32:30,410
No, no, Sam, what's on?

988
01:32:30,890 --> 01:32:31,310
What's that?

989
01:32:32,430 --> 01:32:33,850
It's scheduled for the 16th.

990
01:32:33,850 --> 01:32:34,910
It's not scheduled on.

991
01:32:34,910 --> 01:32:35,410
Why do you start?

992
01:32:36,250 --> 01:32:39,030
It's just us saying it's always in the moon.

993
01:32:39,770 --> 01:32:41,730
Our normal day would be on the 16th.

994
01:32:41,730 --> 01:32:44,590
16 like it. It's

995
01:32:47,190 --> 01:32:47,810
It's

996
01:32:48,490 --> 01:32:49,110
It's

997
01:32:49,110 --> 01:32:49,130
It's

998
01:32:49,130 --> 01:32:53,480
So good to keep up for now

999
01:32:53,480 --> 01:32:54,640
Yeah, so I'm gonna make an

1000
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,240
And then we have the same time

1001
01:32:57,240 --> 01:32:58,800
Like this

1002
01:32:58,800 --> 01:32:59,600
Six

1003
01:33:00,860 --> 01:33:01,480
Like

1004
01:33:01,480 --> 01:33:03,280
In the dark over here

1005
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:07,040
I'm going to have Dan and Jess

1006
01:33:08,260 --> 01:33:08,880
And

1007
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:10,980
Something else figure all that out

1008
01:33:10,980 --> 01:33:20,580
Yeah, so Bill, maybe you've just myself could talk and then you're out with rooted, maybe a food

1009
01:33:20,580 --> 01:33:26,440
to connect with, and then I'm thinking Brian Art from the Dan County Pantry Gardens who also

1010
01:33:26,440 --> 01:33:32,740
has involved with helping to lead some of the food as medicine work. He's a local physician with

1011
01:33:32,740 --> 01:33:39,340
UW, but we could talk more of exact plans and who to work with.

1012
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:52,620
Okay, by the hood, so it is six, well, most everybody, I mean, nobody has a regular job.

1013
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:53,920
Do they have the console?

1014
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:03,400
So, Sebastian's in school and farming. Dan is farmer. I'm farmer. I'm farmer. You're retired.

1015
01:34:04,260 --> 01:34:13,520
Surely, you have flexible time, right? Yeah. Erica, and I don't know what Paula does. She's retired.

1016
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:21,840
So, regular job, what you meant was, people could be flexible because they work in the food

1017
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:23,960
systems and bright bill.

1018
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:30,220
So, I mean, we can even go for a clock, I suppose.

1019
01:34:31,020 --> 01:34:34,640
Okay, good to tell you, I mean, has anybody opposed to that?

1020
01:34:34,940 --> 01:34:37,260
No, that'd be better with the traffic.

1021
01:34:39,140 --> 01:34:43,280
I don't know if there's a traffic in Oregon, this is a little back home for me in the hallway.

1022
01:34:43,700 --> 01:34:46,060
It's a county A, there's no traffic.

1023
01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:48,560
Same way to me.

1024
01:34:49,060 --> 01:34:52,080
But that's four o'clock on the 17th.

1025
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:54,400
I'll send out a calendar hold and then.

1026
01:34:54,440 --> 01:34:56,120
The directions are how you get better too.

1027
01:34:56,220 --> 01:34:57,000
Yeah, yeah.

1028
01:34:57,100 --> 01:34:59,960
Well first I'm just going to send out a calendar hold and then we'll.

1029
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:09,300
All right. So then we need what's our October meeting date then?

1030
01:35:09,300 --> 01:35:13,380
I don't have enough to have my head, but I'll put it in there.

1031
01:35:13,820 --> 01:35:15,280
All right.

1032
01:35:18,220 --> 01:35:24,740
So the next month for the next meeting, we're going to let Chair and Vice Chair.

1033
01:35:24,740 --> 01:35:32,680
So I think about it, want to do it, paint my plan, run for it, and any announcements?

1034
01:35:34,180 --> 01:35:39,680
I would just want Sebastian and Dan to consider the vice chair position.

1035
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:52,020
We'll respectfully decline, and I do have a non-ferring job too, and I'm very, very

1036
01:35:52,020 --> 01:35:53,800
stressed than we know.

1037
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:56,300
I'm happy to throw my head in the

1038
01:36:00,500 --> 01:36:00,700
rain.

1039
01:36:00,700 --> 01:36:01,760
Any other announcements?

1040
01:36:04,620 --> 01:36:06,430
Any other business as allowed by law?

1041
01:36:08,460 --> 01:36:10,620
The motion to adjourn, so move.

1042
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:11,200
Carl Moon?

1043
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:11,660
Second.

1044
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:14,500
Second.

1045
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:17,200
I'll pay every say I don't forget.

1046
01:36:17,480 --> 01:36:18,100
So totally.

1047
01:36:18,980 --> 01:36:19,400
All right.
