[1:05] And that should make everything go. >> And

[1:09] » yeah, >> I could take the Whenever you're ready

[1:11] to start, I will bring over the applicant.

[1:14] » Thank you.

[1:20] our position.

[1:25] » Are you now getting started? >> Yep.

[1:28] » Okay. Okay. So, uh welcome back. Room is

[1:33] empty. I understand there are people. Um my name is William.

[1:39] co-chair of community committee community

[1:44] appearance field to my right and associated my

[1:49] left. Uh and what we try to do is help steer

[1:53] people who may or may need it in some cases may not need it or may not think

[1:57] they need it uh towards some better looking projects. So first thing uh

[2:04] let's consider that the call to order and going right to applications. The

[2:09] first one is 128 Samson Rock Drive which is a cycling application

[2:19] unmanned redemption center. So I guess I'm kind of curious to know what that

[2:23] is.

[2:27] » Sure. Hi. Uh good evening. Thanks for having me uh as a panelist this evening.

[2:31] I'm happy to discuss the Clink program. Um so uh um Kelly Hubby for the record

[2:37] uh director of brand delivery for Clink. We have been operating in the state of

[2:42] Maine for over 20 years. We've been operating in New York State for 10. Um

[2:46] and the premise of our program is to simplify the traditional redemption

[2:50] experience for the consumer. um allowing an additional modality to the

[2:55] traditional reverse vending machine or um going to a a traditional bottle

[3:00] redemption center. So, our program focuses on a bagdrop uh presentation

[3:05] whereby the consumer is able to um redeem all of their containers that

[3:10] they've purchased at any retailer in the state. It's not exclusivized to those

[3:15] that were purchased at Stop and Shop. Uh we accept any container that was covered

[3:20] under the Connecticut state bottle bill. Glass, plastic, aluminum. There's no

[3:24] need to sort, no need to count. Everything goes in one um standard

[3:28] 13gallon drawstring kitchen trash bag. Uh we do sell clink bags at cost, which

[3:34] are the most affordable trash bags, but we do allow the consumer to bring their

[3:38] own 13gallon kitchen trash bag if they so choose.

[3:42] Um the consumer creates an account. They can either do that uh via an app, they

[3:47] can do it via the web. Um they can get a physical card if they don't have

[3:52] technical prowess or they just don't like to do things on the phone. Uh or

[3:56] for folks that are maybe not as technologically savvy, um you can do a

[4:00] physical card right inside the store. You can sign yourself up and the store

[4:04] personnel are happy to assist with that. You can also call our customer service

[4:08] team and we can mail you a card and set you up that way. Um, so there's a number

[4:12] of ways to simplify the experience of signing up. Um, thereafter, the consumer

[4:17] simply prints their bag tags at a kiosk inside any of the live stores that we're

[4:22] currently in. Um, as I said, we're in 15 locations currently and we're scaling

[4:27] into all 80 locations for Stop and Shop across the state of Connecticut.

[4:32] Um, once the consumer has their bag of redeemables full, they'll put their

[4:37] personalized bag tag sticker on it and simply pull up to our redemption drop

[4:41] station located in the parking lot, scan the bag. That unlocks the window. They

[4:46] place the whole bag inside. Within a couple of business days, all of those

[4:50] containers are processed through our state-of-the-art technology, which is a

[4:54] barcode scan of every single container in the bag. And for every item in the

[4:58] bag that's a Connecticut deposit eligible item, the funds are credited to

[5:01] a Clink account that lives virtually on the kiosk. Um the consumer has the

[5:06] option of printing out a a cash out redemption ticket anytime they go into

[5:11] the store. Um they can save the funds. A lot of folks save them for Christmas

[5:15] shopping or holiday gatherings. Um other people take out the money every time

[5:19] they go shopping and take a few dollars off their grocery purchase. they are

[5:24] able I they were they are able to get cash back if they prefer. They're also

[5:28] able to remove those um the credit for those funds from their grocery purchase.

[5:33] Um now our standalone station um it's a green solution so it's completely

[5:38] off-rid. Basically we bring in our drop station and place it in the parking lot.

[5:43] Uh we do utilize existing parking spaces. Uh for this location it would be

[5:48] four parking spots that were utilized. three for the station itself and one as

[5:53] an access point. Um, for this application, we would be located, if

[5:58] you're looking down on the store, um, to the left side, kind of over in the

[6:03] corner, adjacent to some fencing and some tree cover.

[6:06] The station's made of 100% recycled material. The walls are made of a new

[6:11] building material called Eidora, which is made from recycled plastic bottles.

[6:15] All of the aluminum, structural aluminum is recycled aluminum. Um and the entire

[6:20] thing runs off of solar and wind exclusively. Uh so it does not require

[6:24] any trenching shore power or anything of the sort. Um and we are able to move it

[6:31] fairly simply if um you know the determined location poses any type of

[6:36] problems. Um but when we look at placing these location these these stations in

[6:40] the parking lot uh we look uh for areas that are less traffic dense or that are

[6:45] you know relatively out of the way. We also look at um aesthetics for the store

[6:50] um and for the community. Um I sent over this morning and I don't know if anybody

[6:56] uh had an opportunity to look, but some additional design um renderings that um

[7:02] are less uh we'll call it brand heavy. Um our traditional branding is kind of

[7:06] loud. It's a little bit um kind of in your face, but we have some more muted

[7:11] branding that uh we've found that some of the communities in Connecticut

[7:14] prefer. Um, and we're also happy to do a custom design based on feedback from the

[7:21] committee and the commission. Um, if I'm able to share my screen, I'm

[7:26] happy to show those other designs. >> Yes, you can.

[7:30] » Okay.

[7:35] Oops, that's the wrong thing. Um, can you see the screen?

[7:41] » Yes, >> all right. So, we have um this is this

[7:46] is kind of our traditional alternate branding with the brick and beige um

[7:50] look. I know that certain stop and shops go with this brick and beige color. Um

[7:56] we also have this more of a off-white color. I know we did this one

[8:00] specifically for Berlin. Um and then the stop and shop in Madison based on the

[8:04] Google images um that I've looked at um has more of that grayish blue. And so we

[8:10] could obviously do this grayish blue with the brick look um that complements

[8:16] um the existing grocery store. Uh we can change the signage, modify it to suit um

[8:24] you know welcome the committee's feedback on on both um our our intent

[8:30] and the practicality of it and the design.

[8:41] Uh I have a question about location. >> Of course,

[8:47] » you have put it in a roadway uh which

[8:53] which there'll be cars going through that roadway when somebody's at the

[8:59] clink station. Uh what's with So there's going to be quite a few

[9:05] pedestrians with cars going through there at at the same time. How's that

[9:09] going to work? >> Of course. So the station itself is um

[9:14] is 8 ft wide and 8 ft high. So your traditional parking space is is 18 ft.

[9:21] So this is only coming out into the parking space about halfway. Um, and

[9:27] that allows us to place concrete ballards still inside of the parking

[9:32] lines. So, it allows for a safe access point for pedestrians between the

[9:36] ballards and the front of the station itself. Um, while not impeding the

[9:42] travel aisles. Um, there's typically where we place the stations, it's not

[9:47] always heavily utilized parking, so folks have the ability to pull into an

[9:52] adjacent parking spot if they so choose. Um, but honestly what we typically find

[9:56] is the bag drop process itself is just a scan open and drop. Most folks simply

[10:04] pull their car up in front of the ballards, hop out, scan their bag, and

[10:08] move on to their parking spot for their shopping trip. Um, the entire bag drop

[10:12] process from putting the car in park to put in the car and drive again takes

[10:17] about 15 to 20 seconds. Could

[10:23] you could you could you repeat if you don't mind uh repeat the process of drop

[10:29] off and redemption? >> Of course. So ahead of time the consumer

[10:34] will fill their bag at their house. Tie it

[10:37] » every standard kitchen size bag. >> That's correct. Yep. Yep. 13gon

[10:42] drawstring kitchen trash bag. Mhm. >> And then what we encourage folks to do

[10:47] is, you know, when they're setting up their account or when they're in the

[10:51] store, whenever they buy new bags, they print themselves out bag tags at the

[10:55] kiosk that is inside the store. So up in the front of the store, there will be a

[11:00] clink kiosk. It's typically adjacent to the service desk area or somewhere in

[11:05] the checkout or front end area of the store. That's where

[11:09] » I'm sorry, >> the tags then will identify.

[11:13] » That's correct. They print out their bag tags there and that's also where they'll

[11:17] go to print a cash out ticket or a withdrawal receipt that they can turn in

[11:21] at any cashier or at the service desk. Um, so they'll print their bags ahead of

[11:26] time, print their bag tags ahead of time, place it on their bag, put the bag

[11:30] in the trunk, drive down to the stop and shop, and then they simply get out of

[11:35] the car, get their bag, scan the bag tag, that unlocks the window, they place

[11:40] the whole bag inside, and they're done. So you essentially have to have your bag

[11:45] tags prepared. Like you would go one week or one day print out tags to tag

[11:51] your bags so you can't just jump and jump out and drop it

[11:56] » because you have to go into the store to print your tag.

[11:58] » Correct. We do recommend that people print a few ahead of time so that they

[12:02] have them just for simplicity, but we also have folks that have gotten to the

[12:06] store with their bags, realize they don't have any tags, they park, they go

[12:09] in, they do their shopping first. While they're inside, they print their tags.

[12:13] Then they come out and tag their tags. >> Yeah. Okay.

[12:17] » So, after I'm just curious. I know this isn't our perview, but I'm just curious

[12:21] how this all works. So, th this this structure gets filled with bags, right?

[12:28] Inside. >> That's correct.

[12:30] » And someone comes along or a group of people come along and take them

[12:35] » and comes each one individually and scan the bottles.

[12:41] and and register that the that that scan that person's scan and then puts the

[12:47] money in the account. Right. So So the individual who drops off the can is

[12:52] reliant on the people on the accuracy of the people who are doing the work

[12:57] » inside. So it's it's all it's all machines. So the way it works at the

[13:01] processing center is um the bag is is taken off of a cart off the truck. The

[13:06] bag tag is then scanned again to associate the containers that are going

[13:10] to come through the scanner next with that person's account. The bag is opened

[13:14] up and all the containers are emptied out onto a recirculator device. Um,

[13:19] basically it aligns all of the cans and bottles in a single file line on a

[13:23] narrow conveyor belt and it goes at high speed through a camera array. It has

[13:28] eight different camera lenses on it. It captures every barcode on every

[13:32] container as it's going past the camera array. And then it uses um technology

[13:39] and pneumatic pressure to sort the material by type. So it knows the

[13:44] barcode from say a Budweiser aluminum can to a Poland spring plastic water

[13:49] bottle. And then as it's moving on down the conveyor, based on the timing and

[13:53] the pressure, um it uses that pneumatic air pressure to shoot the can or bottle

[13:58] down the specific pathway to bring it to a hopper where it can then be um

[14:05] condensed and bailed um to go back to the commodities market. So, um, because

[14:10] we recycle at a foodgrade quality level, it allows the recycled material to go

[14:16] back to the commodities market for its highest and best use, which is to be

[14:20] used um, to turn into more bottles and cans, as opposed to getting down, which

[14:25] is typically what we see with traditional curbside recycling

[14:29] modalities, uh, where the containers tend to get, um, contaminated with

[14:34] detergents and grease and oils and so on and so forth. So we make sure that we

[14:40] are doing everything we can to extend the life of that recycled material.

[14:45] » That sounds great. But so so the person who drops off their cans is reliant on

[14:49] the accuracy of whoever or the machine. So they have to trust that what they're

[14:54] getting back in cash is reflective of what they dropped off.

[14:58] » Um they do. Yes. Um, I will tell you we've had a lot of people that that have

[15:02] the same concern and that have tested us simply by counting the containers in

[15:07] their bag and then waiting to see what they get credited. Um, we are able to

[15:13] um, if somebody calls in with questions, we can tell them exactly what was in

[15:18] their bag. We can tell them how many of this can or that can or that bottle. And

[15:22] in the event that they had an item in the bag that maybe came across the

[15:27] border from New York or from Mass, if it's an identifiable red line container,

[15:32] they wouldn't get credit for that item and we can explain to them why. Um, you

[15:36] know, similarly, there's all kinds of products coming to market regularly and

[15:41] unfortunately some of these initiators of deposit are not great about

[15:45] communicating ahead of time that there's a new barcode in the market that is

[15:49] covered under the Connecticut legislature. So, we give um when someone

[15:53] calls and they ask about it, that prompts us to do some research. And if

[15:57] we find that that is a new container, we add that barcode to our UPC database and

[16:01] we retroactively credit everybody that's had that container in their bag.

[16:06] » Okay. Interesting. It is interesting. What

[16:11] happens when Well, never mind. No as well, Ron. Exactly.

[16:18] At least I understand. Right. >> All you do is you tag a bag system the

[16:22] system gives you for however it's counted

[16:26] » and if you're really concerned >> you count your own and then you can

[16:29] question. >> Correct.

[16:30] » Which is not

[16:34] a lot. >> What's good also is that people are just

[16:36] literally driving by. So you have the parking spaces the stop shop are pretty

[16:40] wide. I think they're like 10 feet. So here are four spots. You've got 40 feet.

[16:44] So basically have a 40 foot long parallel parking space. could come up,

[16:49] scan their thing, boom, throw it in the door, they're out of the way. I

[16:52] personally don't have any concern. >> What happens where you

[16:57] planning and zoning will express any question if they have it? It's really

[17:00] their fill. >> Who comes and services this for some

[17:02] reason the customer scans their code and the window doesn't open.

[17:06] » So, we have two uh full-time brand ambassadors that are in the market um

[17:11] you know, 40 plus hours a week. Um they regularly service the stations. they go

[17:16] they clean all customerf facing touch points they um ensure that all the doors

[17:22] are functioning properly. Um we do have the ability to remotely reboot the

[17:27] system if a concern is reported to us. We also have both internal and external

[17:33] uh CCTV where we monitor bag volumes so we know you know if the station's

[17:39] getting full we can send our truck out to pick up the bags. um you know, if we

[17:44] see that um there's been bags left outside or something, we can call uh one

[17:50] of our team members to have them come take care of that. It's very rare that

[17:54] we see bags left outside because um you know, they a could get stolen and and b

[17:59] people, you know, want to have the security of knowing that they've they've

[18:02] placed their bag in the station and it's secure.

[18:05] » How often do these get picked up? >> Uh typically daily, but it's based on

[18:10] volume. We do have some higher volume locations that are being picked up in

[18:14] the in the Bristol and Southernington area sometimes two to three times daily

[18:17] currently. >> How many are are in Connecticut?

[18:21] » Currently 15. And we have nine other locations that are fully permitted that

[18:26] we're going to be launching between now and the end of the year.

[18:29] » Any in the shoreline area? Any our surrounding towns or are they in like I

[18:33] know and Southernington and East Haven? >> So we're in East Haven. We're in

[18:38] Fairfield. Um we're going to be going into two in

[18:42] Newington, Manchester, Winstead, North Kanan,

[18:46] um Colchester, Wallingford, Ngat,

[18:53] and then you know we originally we've been in in places like Simsbury,

[18:57] Bristol, Southernington. We've been there for over a year now. Um, and you

[19:01] know, one of one of my most interesting factoids as far as a case study is uh

[19:06] the Simsbury market, which you know, you you may know it's a the Simsbury Avon is

[19:11] a fairly affluent area of Connecticut and um the redemption rates that as far

[19:16] as cans going through the store uh year-over-year from traditional reverse

[19:21] vending machines to the Clink program has improved over 40%. So, you know, for

[19:26] a lot of people, it's not necessarily about the money, but it's about doing

[19:30] the right thing by the planet. And then, you know, uh kind of

[19:35] the consequence of that is by by their wallet, you know, cuz people don't

[19:39] realize how quickly those dimes add up until you start actually redeeming your

[19:42] containers regularly. >> So, will the traditional machines that

[19:46] say stop and shop will be eliminated? >> They will. Yes. There's a phase in

[19:51] period so that we're not just kind of springing it on the consumer. Uh we

[19:55] provide a 30-day notice that we're going to be transitioning to the Clink

[19:59] program. We open the Clink program. We have a brand ambassador presence that

[20:04] does uh full days from Thursday through Monday um to help the public sign up and

[20:10] get everybody uh ready to use the program. And then we close the bottle

[20:14] rooms the following week. And we still have that brand ambassador presence uh

[20:18] for that following long weekend. So it's a two-week initial roll out. And then

[20:23] thereafter we do what we call pop-up tableabling events whereby we schedule

[20:28] ahead of time and put a brand ambassador back in these local stores. Um, and then

[20:32] we publicize it via social media to let anybody know that has questions or wants

[20:37] to sign up their grandma or what have you to come on down and see us while we

[20:41] have uh brand staff on site at the stop and shop.

[20:45] » How soon does the cash get uh put into their u their wallets as a group?

[20:50] » Yep. So, it's basically a function of of the timing between when they dropped the

[20:55] bag off to when the truck comes and picks it up. So, if they dropped off a

[21:00] bag at 5:00 p.m. on a Monday and the truck had been there to pick up at 400

[21:04] p.m. on a Monday, the truck's probably not going to be there again until

[21:07] Tuesday and then they'll get their credit typically on Wednesday. Once the

[21:11] bags get brought back to the processing center, they're processed right away.

[21:16] » So, I'd like to move on to the container uh aesthetic. So, this is an aluminum.

[21:22] Probably looks just like a uh shipping container or at least, but it's smooth.

[21:26] I see. And so, it's painted, I presume. >> It's a vinyl.

[21:32] » It's It's vinyl. Yeah, vinyl wrap. Yeah. And then what about the masonry on it?

[21:36] Is that also like a decal or >> the the entire thing is a vinyl wrap?

[21:41] So, we just we just customize it based on, you know, what the town's looking

[21:45] for for an aesthetic. >> Yeah.

[21:48] I don't know how you guys feel about that. I'd almost rather just be one big

[21:52] simple innocuous color. What do you think?

[21:55] Rather than stick on a brick. >> Oh, I don't know.

[21:59] » Now, can I ask >> Do we have to cut him?

[22:02] » Can I ask a question? It's It's 8t high. >> You said 8 ft wide, but it's 20 feet

[22:06] long. That's correct. >> Wow.

[22:13] So, it's Oh, the graphic. It's a It's a It's a It's a label.

[22:18] » Yeah. Sorry. The Cox is how long? 20 >> 20 ft long.

[22:21] » Okay. But it's four parking spaces. There's a room. It's 20 ft. That's You

[22:25] have something at the one end, you said, for axis. Okay, I got it.

[22:29] » Correct. Yeah. The station itself takes up about Well, if you're telling me the

[22:33] parking spaces there are 10 ft wide, then realistically we could probably get

[22:36] away with three parking spaces. I'm guessing I don't know for sure, but I So

[22:40] they're they're wider than regular

[22:43] » wider than normal. Okay. >> Yeah. Next time I'm in market, I'm happy

[22:47] to take some measurements and and I can reconfirm with the commission if if it

[22:51] would take three or four >> in the main parking field. I think

[22:56] they're wider. They may not be on that edge. So, who knows? You know, it's

[23:00] something else. So, do you guys have a

[23:06] » You don't like >> Yeah, I didn't say that. I just didn't

[23:11] Well, >> I just thought that I don't think it's

[23:13] necessary to clink to be selling their name

[23:18] to to the consumers. The consumers don't care. It's Clink,

[23:21] » right? I mean, they're selling it to some

[23:23] » Well, you say, "I'm going to drop it off."

[23:26] » So, that would be a thing. >> It would be a thing.

[23:30] » Yeah, it's fine. But I mean if you don't like the background

[23:36] » I'd like the gray one myself too. >> Oh

[23:43] » no no it's >> so you want to keep the

[23:48] » I don't care. It doesn't matter. Well, no, the brick is, you know, I brick.

[23:52] It's But

[23:56] » yeah, because I don't want to notice. That's why that's what I'm thinking. And

[24:01] then everybody Everybody has different things they'll notice. People like me

[24:04] will notice. >> This is a different This is a different

[24:06] uh >> I know you're not big.

[24:09] » I know. That's right. But I mean, in general, it's you want to and

[24:14] » I pulled up Google Street View on my phone a few minutes ago just to kind of

[24:17] see there's this kind of Well, this is from a couple years ago, but it's kind

[24:22] of a messed up fence over there. It was. And so, they'll be blocking some of

[24:26] that. It's kind of a gray fence that >> there's there's the store.

[24:34] » And we're going to go right there. It's going by the end where the tractor

[24:39] trailer's pulling and out in the back. >> Yeah. Yeah.

[24:42] » Yeah. It's way over that's the other place there's shade.

[24:47] » And just out of curiosity, you've been to the site

[24:50] » and and somebody has monitored. You said they go in low traffic areas and un like

[24:57] areas that are not parked. Someone monitored

[25:01] » this specific location. No, we did not. We just look for areas that are kind of

[25:05] away from the traditional traffic flow. >> Uh I'm just going to share here back uh

[25:11] that location so everyone can see. >> What about the same one?

[25:19] » Something >> I think.

[25:22] Okay. So, one of our members feels strongly that there should be some kind

[25:27] of banding at the bottom of the box. And so we've all agreed that that those this

[25:31] one here with the uh where the panel is >> the one here with the gray and then the

[25:38] dark brick at the bottom would be our >> Is there is there any is there any uh uh

[25:46] option other than a brick pattern? >> Uh I'm I'm I'm happy to to create some

[25:53] additional renderings. Do you have something in mind?

[26:02] What else are you thinking? >> We don't.

[26:05] It's just that the brick looks fake brick. So if it was something in in

[26:10] keeping with the solid color of the rest of the box, but it's the reason I like

[26:14] the darker brown bricks. It's roughly the tone of building brick. So it

[26:19] » do we know it's going to be dead and that's bright red.

[26:21] » Psychologically your brain will think of it as sort of having some maybe visual

[26:25] relationship to the building. That's why I like the term.

[26:27] » Okay. >> That that was our thought as well. And

[26:30] that's why like um for the for the more for the more cream colored branding that

[26:34] had a lighter beige brick and that simply was that was done for Berlin and

[26:39] the Berlin store is more of an off-white with that lighter beige brick whereas

[26:43] the Madison store is that darker gray blue with the darker colored brick. Um,

[26:49] you know, I in in in the years that I've been doing this, um, you know, people

[26:54] tend to prefer the brick look aesthetic just because it matches the facade of

[26:58] the building a little bit more, but I'm happy to do a a straight gray um, you

[27:03] know, and send that that over for for the committee's consu consideration.

[27:09] » There's no r there's no rush on this application

[27:12] if you want. >> I mean, we could actually discuss this

[27:14] again next month if we >> Okay. I think they're still waiting for

[27:18] some other things.

[27:21] » Yes. >> Meetings.

[27:26] » Do does somebody want to make a motion on any is there any is there any other

[27:29] detail to this that we haven't discussed just visually? Um Maria or

[27:34] » Well, there's um it's run by solar. So, there's solar panels on top, right?

[27:38] » Yeah. I was I I do have a question about the solar. Did somebody check out the

[27:44] actual sun in that area for solid because there's trees. It's on the east

[27:48] side uh or west side actually and it's to the south the south is to the

[27:55] left of it. So did somebody actually figure out that solar is going to work

[28:00] good? >> Yep. So we do um we look for uh

[28:04] obviously southern facing solar exposure. Um, and the way the panels are

[28:09] mounted, they're 360° um, you know, movable. So, we basically

[28:15] just angle them towards the south facing sun.

[28:20] » Okay, good. >> Okay,

[28:22] » we've only had one so far that we had to move because it was not getting enough

[28:25] solar. Um, and that was one in Southernington that was uh, beneath a

[28:30] big um, retaining wall, a large high retaining wall with a number of mature

[28:35] trees above it. and we we had to move it after about 6 months, but I don't have

[28:39] the expectation of that at this location.

[28:43] » And you really So the wind is also a necessary sort of component of this is

[28:47] another >> um we're current we're currently still

[28:51] using the wind turbine. Um we've found that it definitely does not generate as

[28:55] much power as the solar. Um so we may look to get into instead of two solar

[29:01] panels, one wind turbine, um three solar panels. But um at this point we we're

[29:07] not making that change. >> I only ask that because if it was just

[29:11] uh you know some solar panels and it's one less thing that makes it like

[29:14] something that came from the Jetsons, you know.

[29:18] » I just think it would be a little cleaner looking. That's all. That's the

[29:21] only reason, you know, not that it matters much.

[29:24] » I mean, if it's a make or break, we we could modify the station to not have the

[29:28] wind and potentially put the third solar.

[29:31] » It absolutely has to function. And you you'll find out when you get there

[29:34] whether you really have enough sun or not, I'm sure. So,

[29:36] » y >> did you want to make a motion?

[29:39] » Did you Wait, did you decide on the the clink part? You were okay with the sun?

[29:42] » We're going to Yeah, we're >> I just made sure because I lost it in my

[29:46] notes somewhere. >> Okay.

[29:48] » Make a motion to approve with the uh dark gray and darker brick facade.

[29:55] Um and that's about it.

[30:00] » Is there a second? I'll second. Okay. Is there any discussion?

[30:04] » I think we've had enough discussion, right? You bet. Okay. All in favor? I.

[30:10] Good luck. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. I appreciate the

[30:13] commission's time. Have a great evening.

[30:23] » For those that noticed, I never

[30:29] go over. Well, I take it versus >> Do you want

[30:34] » Do you want your minutes? >> What

[30:37] » minutes? >> Uh, as to make a motion to the meeting.

[30:42] I thought the minutes were quite dead. >> I I second.

[30:49] One second. Oh, I thought the minutes were very good.

[30:55] Thank you. >> I tried.

[31:04] I'll take for that.

[31:15] » Okay. Any discussion? I do need a motion to

[31:19] approve. >> Yes. Second.

[31:20] » Yes. Okay. All in favor? I >> I Okay. Great.

[31:25] Um,

[31:28] » anybody have any comments?

[31:33] I do either other than I thought I saw the towns coming back for the work

[31:37] downtown or did that just get pulled off from this meeting or am I what was I

[31:41] looking at? No, you for the No, there uh I think there was something

[31:47] about the you wanted to know when they chose a

[31:53] brick maybe for the for the >> No, I just when I read the agenda, maybe

[31:57] I just read it wrong. I probably did. >> Yeah, there's only one thing. There's

[32:00] only one thing on the agenda. >> The only thing and I just Well, the town

[32:03] does have to address that middle strip across,

[32:06] » right? >> That's the big one.

[32:08] » Yeah, exactly. I would imagine that some discussion about that open that already.

[32:14] Okay. So, uh motion to motion was second. All in favor? I I
