Are they normally hear them? 12 00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:44,800 » Usually that's okay. >> It's okay. 13 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,280 » And then next we move on to the approval of the minutes. We need to approve both 14 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:53,600 the October and the February minutes. Are there any changes that need to be 15 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:57,440 made to the October minutes? >> Are there any changes that need to be 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:02,000 made to the February minutes? Then I would entertain a motion that we 17 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,360 accept both the October and February minutes as submitted. Is there a 18 00:01:04,190 --> 00:01:07,439 [clears throat] second? >> Second. 19 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,360 » Seconded by Gina. >> All those in favor of approving the 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,200 October and February minutes as submitted, please say I. 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:20,400 » All oppose, please say nay. >> Both minutes for October and February 22 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:25,360 are approved as submitted. Uh next there are presentations and I don't think we 23 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:29,040 have anybody u there is nobody in the audience unfortunately for audience 24 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:34,960 participation. So that brings us to commissioner reports. Um we will start 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,880 want to start with Sean today. Why not go left or right? 26 00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:40,880 » Does Sean have anything today? >> Is your microphone on? Just want to make 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,240 sure everyone's microphone. >> Yep. It's on. 28 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,159 » John. >> Um I have nothing other than it's nice 29 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:52,000 to be back and nice to see everyone. Wonderful. Um, I will give a a short 30 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,360 commission report now because we have new business unfinished and 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,799 miscellaneous later. [snorts] Um, just three quick things here. Summit E-waste, 32 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,000 I know we've talked about that in the past. Uh, Summit E-Waste offers drop 33 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:08,479 bins at the Metro Parks. Uh, one of them is located at the Liberty Park uh, Metro 34 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,319 Park here in our city. And so if you wanted to recycle cables, monitors, 35 00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:17,599 batteries, laptops, and more, uh there is a drop off bin at the uh Liberty Park 36 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:20,640 metrop parks along with a whole host of others. More locations have been added 37 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,520 recently. >> It's always there. It's always there. 38 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,760 » It is always there. It looks like it's year round. You could learn more at this 39 00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:34,200 link. I'm going to kind of try to annunciate as best as possible. It is 40 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,200 bit t. 41 00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:37,959 SLSMP 42 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:46,160 greener future. So bit.lyward 43 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:52,560 slsMP greener future and you could learn more 44 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:56,000 about it at that link. The next sort of thing on my report, I 45 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,080 emailed it to all the commissioners, but it is the wastewater treatment plant 46 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:04,239 tour. Um, after our last meeting, we we asked if I could go reach out to Nate 47 00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:08,879 about another tour. Um, working within his schedule, in the confines of his 48 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:13,120 schedule. Uh, Wednesday, July 29th from 2 to 3:00 p.m. is is when he's free. And 49 00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:17,200 so, if you're able to make it, that's wonderful. But, as always, it's not 50 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:22,480 required if you've been or or you know, you have other obligations. But 51 00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:25,920 Wednesday, July 29th, 2 to 3:00 p.m. at the wastewater treatment plant. We're 52 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,920 trying to bring some other people, some community members. I think we set up to 53 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:32,720 10 people and that's what I told Nate. We'll have a sign up at our Earth Day 54 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,480 Arbor Day event, but if you know of community members would like to come, by 55 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,720 all means, you could either email me their name and we'll just kind of keep a 56 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:44,400 running list going. That way, we could kind of keep that that going. 57 00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:48,879 » You could Did you um you could advertise that on um just Twinsburg Talk? 58 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,680 » Absolutely, too. That's it's another >> on the social media pages. 59 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,200 » It's another avenue. If we don't get enough people by our Aubberday Earth 60 00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:59,120 event, I'm sure we'll find >> Yeah. the 10 by then. But I want to see 61 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,439 if we could get the sign up at that Earth Day Arbory event. 62 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,159 » Are you capping it at 10? >> Uh that is what I told Nate. But if we 63 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,400 have like an >> Cuz he'll do more. 64 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,879 » Yeah, we have a crazy amount of people that want to do it. I I'm sure he'd be 65 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,360 happy. >> Yeah, they do. I think tons of kids at 66 00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:13,439 one time. >> We're setting a smart goal here. Smart, 67 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,479 you know. >> No, agree 100%. I'm just saying if you 68 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,560 get more, I don't want you to cut people off. 69 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,639 » No, absolutely. Absolutely. >> Um and then this is really not related, 70 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,759 but the weather is starting to warm up and I've seen a lot of children out in 71 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,880 the parks. um, you know, riding their bikes. With that said, just, you know, 72 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,520 if you're out and about, make sure you're kind of watching your 73 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,680 surroundings. And none of you would ever speed, so just make sure you're kind of 74 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,240 watching that and, uh, cautioning your surroundings because again, more 75 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,320 children are going to be out and about and so be cautious of that. Uh, that's 76 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,080 all I have for my report. I'll talk later, you know, in miscellaneous, new 77 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:52,639 business, all of that. So, we move on to Gina for her report. Um, I just wanted 78 00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:56,960 to say that I would love to have an insert in the mailer and I I started 79 00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:00,960 writing up some stuff and maybe we could meet at some point because you had 80 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:07,360 mentioned that you wanted help with it. So, ideas welcome and um I need to get 81 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:12,960 that to whom is it my contact and do we have approval 82 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,560 for this to be put in as a as the mailer or added? Uh Jenny would be your 83 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,919 » Jenny is the person >> your marketing contact 84 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,759 » and is this something we need to get permission from council to pay for or 85 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,000 anything like that budgeting wise >> our budget comes from Rebecc Rebecca 86 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,800 Ziegler. >> Yeah. 87 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:32,479 » So I you could add her on the email or ask Rebecca Zagler. I could send you her 88 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:38,160 contact. But our budget comes from the >> cost is so minimal that I don't think 89 00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:40,960 you're going to get uh nobody's going to say no to an insert to do good for the 90 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,600 community >> just to be sure. be sure to post. 91 00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:50,160 » No, I understand that. But I'm saying, but it's it sounds like it um feels good 92 00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:53,520 down there. Okay. >> Yeah, absolutely. 93 00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:56,080 » I wrote um something up. I'll share it. I'll email it to you and tell me what 94 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,039 you think. >> Yeah. Perfect. Okay. 95 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,360 » Anything else? >> No, that's all I'm working on. 96 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,759 » All right, Michael. >> Nothing to report. 97 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,600 » Absolutely. And then Helen, >> nothing to report. 98 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:11,759 » All righty. And so with that, we now move on to uh council report. We'll 99 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,960 start with you, Councilman Post. I I got nothing. 100 00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:16,160 » All right. >> I have nothing. I think uh you cover all 101 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,759 the bases. >> I I appreciate that. 102 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,919 » That's a compliment. >> So then we move on to our engineering 103 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,360 report. >> Nothing to add right now. Excited to see 104 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,600 your guys' trail maintenance project uh on the agenda. Think that sounds 105 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,960 interesting. >> Well, that you could thank parks and 106 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:33,039 rack for that. And your our conversations the last meeting reminded 107 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:37,759 me that is something that helps with the you called it points I think for the 108 00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:40,880 » Yeah. Yeah. Or storm water annual report that we put in. So, I thought thought we 109 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:45,120 could help out parks and wreck and combine the commission's efforts and 110 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:49,520 work. Um, so with that, we now move on to unfinished business, new business, 111 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:54,720 miscellaneous. I ask that we we talked about kind of three things. First being 112 00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:59,360 the award selection subcommittee. Uh, so we just solicited nominations for our 113 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:04,880 good neighbor award. We had four or five nominees um this year come in and and we 114 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:09,680 need to now have select three individuals to serve on that sort of 115 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:14,080 subcommittee to narrow that four down to top two where then ultimately we as a 116 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:17,680 commission would pick the top two at the next meeting if that's still the route 117 00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:22,560 we want to proceed as we had done last year. Uh, I know Virginia is not here, 118 00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:26,000 but she did want to be and serve on that little subcommittee like we did last 119 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,440 year. And we could only have three of those members on a subcommittee because 120 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,080 you do more than three. It becomes an open public meeting at that point in 121 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:36,319 time. >> Well, I'd be willing. I'd like to serve 122 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:42,560 on it as well like I did last year. >> So, we have Virginia, we have Helen. 123 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Would anybody else want to serve? >> John. All right. So, we have Virginia, 124 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:53,120 Helen, and John. I'm okay with that. Is everybody else okay with that? 125 00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:54,319 » Shant new seconds that all in favor please say I. 126 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,280 » I. >> I. 127 00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:02,560 » All opposed. All right. So, Virginia, Helen, and John. Uh, what I will do, I 128 00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:07,039 will blank out the names like I had done last year. And so, it just simply says 129 00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:10,479 name redacted, but you could then read the entire rest of the nominee form. 130 00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:14,800 I'll get the rubrics that we created last year out to the three of you. Um, 131 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:18,800 and the three of you will coordinate Virginia, John, and Helen time to meet 132 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,080 between now and before our next meeting to go through. 133 00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:23,280 » Okay. >> Score them, look at all that, and 134 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,400 » you'll present kind of the top two scoring people back with us at our next 135 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:32,080 meeting. >> That's awesome. All right. Um, 136 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:37,839 are there any other questions or topics on that award award selection? Anything 137 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,839 there from the commission? All right. So, then Earth Day, Arbor 138 00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:45,440 Day. Uh, I just had a couple updates. I wanted to see if the commission had any 139 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:50,640 questions, if you guys had any ideas. Um, but I did end up ordering a couple 140 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:55,440 of prizes and a small activity for us to to do at the commission. Um, they are 141 00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:59,760 in. I just asked Pat if he could hold on to them here in the office instead of, 142 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:05,120 you know, us holding on to them until then. Um, but I am going to follow up 143 00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:09,279 with all the participants either this week or next and say, "Hey, we're a 144 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:13,279 little over a month and a half out. Just want to confirm you're still attending. 145 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:18,560 How many tables will you need? Here's the setup time. It's 9:00 a.m. to 11. 146 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:24,640 Event runs 11 to 1 at the community center. Any questions? Uh it does seem 147 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:30,240 there's a lot of eager participation. Um we've had Journey Church reached out 148 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:35,200 to me and Director Bettinson asking if they could somehow find a way to get 149 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:41,360 involved. They wanted to grill hot dogs and burgers and add add a sense of 150 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:46,560 community and director Benton and I said that sounds wonderful. Um you just need 151 00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:50,720 to get a permit from the county to grill at an event like this. So it seems like 152 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:54,399 they're moving forward with that and the Girl Scouts just reached out to me to 153 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,680 talk about, you know, possibly tableabling to talk about their 154 00:09:55,519 --> 00:10:02,640 environmental badges and stuff like that. And I said we we would welcome any 155 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:06,800 community partner and I did speak on behalf of our commission for that. 156 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,959 » So is it 9 to 11 or is it 11 to 1? >> The event is 11 to 1. 157 00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:14,480 » Okay. >> But we're we're running setup. So setup 158 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:17,920 is 9 to 11. Really setup is just putting up the the tables and making sure all 159 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,920 that's set up there. >> What did we run last year? 160 00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:25,519 » We just had our table and the parks and recck department set all the tables up. 161 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,800 They set everything up for us. We were just responsible for our table. 162 00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:33,279 What time did it run? >> Oh, last year it ran was it 10 to noon? 163 00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:35,600 » 10 to noon. >> 10 to noon, I think. 164 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:40,240 » Okay. That's why we went >> We went We pushed it an hour back. Yes. 165 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,000 » Because of people were came in late. >> Yes. Yeah. 166 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:46,880 » That was that was Yeah. >> I just wanted to make sure it was later 167 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:51,760 than last year. >> Yes. Yeah. Because last year all the 168 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:55,662 people came in like the last hour and we thought maybe it was just too early. So, 169 00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:59,040 we pushed it from that 11 to one. If [snorts] it's super busy and it works 170 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:02,959 wonderful this year, next year we could talk about expanding the time because it 171 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,880 doesn't have to be two hours. But we figure let's start with two and see how 172 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:11,040 it works. >> But are there any questions, any 173 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:16,000 concerns? Anything else Arbor Day Earth Day related? [snorts] 174 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:20,240 » No. All right. And then the last thing um is the trail cleanup with parks and 175 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:25,279 wreck. Uh I got a message from director Benson and Andy. He is a member of the 176 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:30,240 parks and recck commission. He wanted to he had an idea in their commission 177 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:34,480 meeting about uh doing a trail cleanup and I believe Councilman Post attended 178 00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:38,640 this so if I miss anything or or you know misquote him Post can correct me 179 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:42,240 but they'd like to do a trail cleanup around the city of Twinsburg. They 180 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:47,440 talked about combining it with Arbor Day. Personally I think that might be 181 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:51,040 too much in one day um to try and combine a trail cleanup with Arbor Day 182 00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:54,240 and I think it might be better to do it after the fact so we could get more 183 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:58,720 community members involved. That's my personal opinion, but he's thinking 184 00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:03,200 about cleaning up downed branches, picking up trash, dealing with overgrown 185 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:08,399 brush, and then ultimately repainting and blazing the trail. He his idea is 186 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:14,880 either a oneanddone scenario where you do like, I don't know, a park or all of 187 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:20,639 the trails at once or a single trail at a time. And this becomes a sort of 188 00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:24,560 repeating recurrent event. Um, TNHA Virginia had said she'd be happy to help 189 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:29,440 and TNHA could have would be happy to volunteer. Um, but that's all I sort of 190 00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:34,160 have here and I told Andy and Director Benton said I'd bring it to us as a 191 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:39,519 commission to hear your thoughts. >> Well, my husband's on the rec board, the 192 00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:45,360 commission. So, he also was telling me about it and um I'm like, "Yeah, if if 193 00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:48,959 we don't do it, I'll help you." So, sounds good to us. It's fine with us. 194 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,760 Yeah. >> Do we? 195 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:57,519 » But I thought they picked a different day. I I don't remember. I thought I he 196 00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:01,839 they had a different day picked. >> Yeah. My my email with him, he said it 197 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:07,040 was originally about Arbor Day, Earth Day. Um 198 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:10,800 and possibly combining it. And I I simply responded, I'll talk with the 199 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,760 commission, but it might be too much to combine it with that one day. 200 00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:17,360 » I think about a different day. Um because we're doing that Arbor Day in 201 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:23,120 April. Yes, April 25th. >> Why couldn't we pick some May, June? 202 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:26,480 » May, June. That was my thought as well. Especially if you want to get the 203 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,200 community involved. It's a lot to ask the community to come to our event and 204 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,399 then later >> to come back out to also clean up the 205 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,760 trail. >> And if we're doing one thing, that 206 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,440 doesn't mean we can do two things simultaneously, 207 00:13:36,959 --> 00:13:42,639 » right? >> Um, and who knows what the weather is a 208 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:46,480 lot more sketchy in April in Cleveland than if we postponed it a couple weeks. 209 00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:50,959 We can advertise it at Arbor Day. >> Absolutely. 210 00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:54,880 » Um I I think get the word out there because you have similar people. 211 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,079 » I think they just have to decide what they want though. 212 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:02,079 » I mean there's multiple trails. Are you going to pick a group and assign them a 213 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,199 trail? Are you going to focus on one trail? 214 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,399 » Right. >> They just have to decide what they want. 215 00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:10,560 » It sounds like they're going to take the lead on this and they just they we are 216 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:15,040 and I always brag about us council councilman postass. We're a very active 217 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:20,000 commission and so I believe they asked us because they can rely on us to help 218 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:24,720 and show up and if we're able to and willing, they know we'd be there. Um, 219 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:28,480 which is why I I wanted to see what our thoughts are. We wanted to do an allin 220 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,680 one and done or if we want to make this maybe a recurring thing 221 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,440 » with the parks recurring. >> I think it should be recurring. 222 00:14:33,199 --> 00:14:37,040 » Okay. >> I think it should be like we did our 223 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:41,440 Arbor Day last year. Like maybe if they're starting this this year, pick 224 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:46,399 one trail. Pick the trail that goes from Dodge over to Glenwood. That's a pretty 225 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:52,000 long trail. There's stuff whatever they could do. Pick that. How well how does 226 00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:56,000 that work? And then decide, okay, we're going to maybe branch out. Maybe do two 227 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,800 next year or something like that. >> Okay. So, 228 00:14:57,199 --> 00:14:59,680 » or even make it once a month in the summer. 229 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,920 » Yeah. >> Or like the first Saturday of every 230 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:08,480 month. Here's the trail, you know, that we're going to meet at. Come if you can. 231 00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:11,519 » Oh, I do like that. like a once a month trail cleanup doesn't sound terrible 232 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,480 either because that way it's a come if you can. 233 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,000 » Yeah. >> Also keeps it fresh in people's minds. 234 00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:19,680 » That's true. Yeah. It's a once a month advertise well in advance, but it's it's 235 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:25,440 not too much where it's it's overburdening. I I like that. Um, I 236 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,600 because I told Andy, obviously I can't volunteer the commission to to do 237 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:34,000 everything and uh I I feel like I volunteer us for a lot of stuff in the 238 00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:38,240 community already, but I I told him I'd be happy to have this conversation and 239 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:42,639 send back what we talk about. But it sounds like we're happy to to help out a 240 00:15:40,079 --> 00:15:47,519 little bit if we can and they just need to decide when it would be, but we would 241 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:51,600 prefer May or June a recurring maybe once a month event. Am I Am I 242 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,959 » hearing that right? That's good. 243 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:59,120 » Starting in May, we'll advertise in >> the um Earth Day activity 244 00:15:56,959 --> 00:16:00,560 » or even beginning, mid and end of summer, 245 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,279 » right? >> Both like even just three times for the 246 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:07,519 whole season. >> Three time whole season 247 00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:13,040 » versus like five or six once a month. I think 248 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:15,360 » you know three time middle and end is more than enough. I 249 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,279 don't think you need >> absolutely 250 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,560 » five for the whole I don't know. I'm just thinking alone. 251 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,600 » Yeah. >> And certainly if 35 people come, you can 252 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:27,680 say, "Hey, our second choice, anybody who has a car, if you're interested, go 253 00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:28,880 to this path or whatever. It's not that big of a deal." 254 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,399 » Yeah, >> we'll figure it out. 255 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:36,320 » So, okay, I will let Andy and Director Benton know that. Um, that brings us to 256 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:41,680 the the remainder of kind of miscellaneous. Is there any other uh 257 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:45,199 miscellaneous conversation items for new business? Alan, anything other 258 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,560 miscellaneous? >> Nothing. Nothing that I can think of. 259 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,920 » Michael, anything other miscellaneous? >> Nothing for me. 260 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,440 » Gina, >> do we have a shredding day date? 261 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,800 » We do. >> Can you tell me? Remind me so I can put 262 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:04,319 it up. >> Is June 27th from 9:00 a.m. to noon at 263 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:08,400 the public works department. There are two trucks. Yes, two trucks 264 00:17:07,439 --> 00:17:10,880 » on that same day. >> Nice. 265 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,199 » So, >> last year want to make sure I get it 266 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:18,240 right. >> And uh I did hear they are going to be 267 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:22,160 planning on checking resident IDs uh at it this year. So make sure 268 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,600 » Twinsburg residents only. So yes, >> we don't have uh people from neighboring 269 00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:31,120 communities filling up the trucks before Twinsburg residents are able to. 270 00:17:27,919 --> 00:17:36,480 » But June 27th, 9 to noon, public works, two trucks, resident IDs, no more than 271 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:40,799 six bags or boxes if we're keeping standard from last year. 272 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:45,360 » Um It was raining. We were just getting out 273 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,880 of there. >> Anything else miscellaneous? 274 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:53,440 » I don't think so. >> Councilman Post. 275 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:57,200 » So, I I still think that uh it's a really good idea to advertise the 276 00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:01,200 schools. I'm not saying necessarily, Jonah, that you need to do it. Uh, but I 277 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:06,240 really think that if we advertise in the schools for the Arbor Day event, you 278 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:11,679 know, with just that flyer, my opinion, I think that that is a huge 279 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:14,960 marketing grab to get the kids and their families. It's an easy way to get it out 280 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:20,559 there. It's something for the mom to do with the kid in the morning. Um, the kid 281 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:24,559 shows interest, then, you know, mom's going to bring the kid 282 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:30,640 and really it's us educating the kids really, right? So, I I still think that 283 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:33,760 that in my opinion is a is a score. Um, if you guys disagree, that's fine. But, 284 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,320 if you were going to do that, you would need I don't know if we talked about 285 00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:38,559 last meeting. I don't know if there was anything from last meeting to this 286 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,080 meeting. >> I'm just throwing out my two cents with 287 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:46,320 that that I I >> I think that's easy because it's just 288 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,840 » someone passes them out in schools. >> Does the commission Did you guys receive 289 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,320 the flyer that was created for this event or was it just me and you on it? 290 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,039 » No, just me. I didn't get a flyer. >> I will forward it to all of you. 291 00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:59,760 Director Bettinson of parks and wreck. She created the flyer for this event. 292 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,760 And so >> it basically it's last year's recycle 293 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:07,200 just logos changed, but it says, you know, environmental commission, parks 294 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:10,960 and rack, watershed partners. It shows all the different partners for this 295 00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:13,600 event on the flyer. And so I'll forward that to you. I thought I sent it. I 296 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,640 apologize. So >> did you add the new 297 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,559 attendees like Girl Scouts and Journey Church? 298 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:25,679 » No, it just has like I think the big four. So, like us, parks and rack, 299 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,919 watershed, um, and I think Metro I think are the big four. 300 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,240 » But it doesn't have all the tables listed of who's 301 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,760 » it doesn't have every single one now. And I could easily go in if we wanted to 302 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,200 and like add those in the top. >> No, it's not. 303 00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:39,919 » Don't we have the gardening club? >> Club. They're I think they're a big poll 304 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,400 and >> they might be the fourth. They might be 305 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,320 the fourth. Yeah, [clears throat] >> I know there's four for sure, but I will 306 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:50,400 forward that to you and so forward to commission writing a note to myself. But 307 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,960 that could be the flyer we just send right away to the schools. Start 308 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,039 pre-made. >> Save some work. 309 00:19:53,679 --> 00:19:57,600 » And you guys don't have to do it. Again, that was just my suggestion. 310 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,799 » Well, even if we just email it to the principles and the PTAs and we say, 311 00:19:59,679 --> 00:20:03,840 "Hey, >> event, can you get this out?" The word 312 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,200 out, many of us on here work at schools. We 313 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,840 know that that's a great way to get word out, 314 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,600 » right, >> through PTA and the the principles. 315 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:16,640 » Oh, I think yeah, that they can put it out. They could PTA could put it on 316 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:21,280 their Facebook page. The principal at least a Will Cox 317 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:26,080 she that he he sent she sends out um like once a week something a little 318 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:30,000 thing or they could put it on parent square or whatever. 319 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:35,360 » Right. So that's Thank you. That was that was a welltimed reminder. So 320 00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:40,880 » and and I have one more thing. Um I think when it comes to that trail 321 00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:44,799 cleanup I I think it is a great idea. Um you know I I know that you guys um you 322 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,159 know not that there's a right or wrong. I I 323 00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:52,320 think that it would be okay to let parks and le wreck run that you guys are so 324 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:56,640 involved in so many things and have your hands in so many things that you know I 325 00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:02,000 almost think like it's great that to invite you as it is related but you know 326 00:20:59,679 --> 00:21:06,480 maybe let them take the lead on it you know so that way they got their hands on 327 00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:10,080 something you guys got the good neighbors award you guys got this you 328 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:15,520 got that you got all these things going on you've got all these events you've 329 00:21:11,919 --> 00:21:18,159 got I don't know I think that you know Absolutely. I 330 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:23,760 » I would let them take the lead on it personally and then you guys can say, 331 00:21:22,159 --> 00:21:27,520 "Hey, when is it?" We'll be happy to show up because we just want to do it 332 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,799 because we individually think it's a good idea. 333 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,440 » You know, >> that's that's why I ask for feedback. 334 00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:35,120 I'll >> I'm giving you that's my feedback. 335 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:39,520 » I'll let I'll let Andy know our our feedback, but like I said, it's I think 336 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:43,280 Parks and Rack is taking the lead on this. We 337 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:48,000 » I I volunteer for a lot as is in the fall, all the years, but this was their 338 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:52,640 event. They they brought it forward. So, we'd be happy, I think, to help. We can, 339 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,720 but I don't know that we need to run the trail cleanup. So, 340 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,520 » yeah, >> just supporting it is different than 341 00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:01,120 running it. >> And if they can take our feedback, they 342 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,039 don't have to, but I will provide it to >> invite you and if you're able, you show 343 00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:06,320 up. >> Yes. 344 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:10,400 So again, happy I always happy to try to tell, but I will give them the feedback 345 00:22:08,159 --> 00:22:14,960 the commission that recurring event once a month and you know, probably not 346 00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:18,080 starting on a a Arbor Day because it's probably not the best day to start and 347 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:24,559 if they take it, they take it. If they don't, they don't. So that's that's what 348 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:27,679 I could do. Anything else, Councilman? >> That's it. I thank you. 349 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,200 » Gina, did you have anything else miscellaneous? 350 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:34,320 » No, I don't. >> I have nothing else miscellaneous, Sean. 351 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:38,640 Anything else?

I I 359 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:12,960 don't recall if everyone is returning um for I think some people's applications 360 00:23:10,159 --> 00:23:16,159 were up. Um, and so I just want to address that here just to bring it up 361 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:20,799 real quick. I think that we're going to be starting interviews uh soon.
