| We should have received. | 00:02:05 | |
| All these via emails for approval and everything. | 00:02:07 | |

| I'm sorry. | 00:02:51 | |
| This is the. | 00:02:53 | |
| We didn't have a special November meeting, did we? Got cancelled. | 00:02:54 | |
| So we have special. | 00:02:58 | |
| OK. | 00:03:01 | |
| Gotcha. That's my fault that I misread that. I was thinking that we had for the special meeting. OK, so. | 00:03:03 | |
| Actually I'm looking for approval of the special November claims. | 00:03:09 | |
| And those would have been sent via e-mail as well. | 00:03:14 | |
| Yes. | 00:03:21 | |
| Yes. | 00:03:23 | |
| These are not the ones that you were. | 00:03:26 | |
| No beforehand. | 00:03:27 | |
| No, these are not. These are separate. These have been reviewed. Yes, these these were sent to both me. | 00:03:29 | |
| And Mr. | 00:03:34 | |
| And. | 00:03:37 | |
| Mr. Striegel. | 00:03:38 | |
| Wasn't available, so Mr. Schellenberger. | 00:03:40 | |
| Signed on his behalf. | 00:03:43 | |
| Is that correct? | 00:03:44 | |
| Yeah, but I believe John signed them. Is that correct? | 00:03:50 | |
| OK, you'll ratify the decision today. Is that what? | 00:03:54 | |
| OK. | 00:03:58 | |
| They were prov. | 00:04:00 | |

| Yeah, I remember that. | 00:04:03 | |
| Right. | 00:04:05 | |
| All right. | 00:04:06 | |
| OK, so I move to approve those claims that have been reviewed the November and the November special and or. | 00:04:07 | |
| And then we're going to handle December separately, yes? | 00:04:14 | |
| OK, I got a motion. Can I get a second? | 00:04:18 | |

| It's not the end of January, right? | 00:05:23 | |
| Huh. | 00:05:29 | |
| No, the ones that we are tailoring are the true UPS. | 00:05:31 | |
| That'll come. | 00:05:35 | |
| A little bit later. | 00:05:37 | |
| So. | 00:05:39 | |
| Can we can somebody explain why we're approving the general work? | 00:05:41 | |
| So 'cause. | 00:05:44 | |
| So anything after day will be approved in the. | 00:05:51 | |
| The February meeting. | 00:05:53 | |
| What if the if the schedule is proved? | 00:05:55 | |
| Gotcha. So it's not after today. | 00:06:02 | |
| OK. | 00:06:06 | |
| OK, I'm good. | 00:06:09 | |
| All right, seek a motion to approve. | 00:06:11 | |
| Motion by Mr. Luke, second Second by Mr. Bagshaw. Any further discussion? | 00:06:14 | |
| All in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:06:20 | |
| Aye, any opposed? | 00:06:23 | |
| Approval of. | 00:06:28 | |
| Resolution 202501. | 00:06:29 | |
| I did not. | 00:06:38 | |
| So. But this is basically their proof. | 00:06:58 | |
| The three new vendors in which. | 00:06:59 | |
| For solid waste and who are those 3 vendors? | 00:07:02 | |
| Gotcha. OK. | 00:07:15 | |
| Any further discussion from the board on that? | 00:07:20 | |
| I have no questions or two. | 00:07:34 | |
| I think Mr. Luke has a question he's discussing with the attorney right now. | 00:07:36 | |
| Are you OK with the the resolutions? | 00:07:57 | |
| Yeah. It's minor saying that's been in, Yeah. | 00:07:59 | |
| #2 OK. | 00:08:01 | |
| It's my understanding it's been in place. We're just adding three vendors, but everything else has been in place since the | 00:08:03 | |
| district was created. | 00:08:06 | |
| Yes. | 00:08:10 | |
| All right, I'll take a motion to approve. | 00:08:11 | |
| So move. | 00:08:14 | |
| Motion by Mr. Bagshaw. | 00:08:15 | |
| Second by Mr. | 00:08:17 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:08:18 | |
| OK, all in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:08:20 | |
| Aye, any opposed carries? | 00:08:22 | |
| Directors report. | 00:08:26 | |
| For those that don't know me, I'm David. | 00:08:32 | |
| The director of Tech Scott Stuart Stewart's place and. | 00:08:34 | |
| In the September. | 00:08:39 | |
| So this is. | 00:08:40 | |
| 3rd month in place. | 00:08:41 | |
| So I'll get started. | 00:08:44 | |
| Marketing and communications. | 00:08:46 | |
| In the month of December, we saw an increase of 30 subscribers. | 00:08:48 | |
| For text messaging, alert prescriptions. | 00:08:52 | |
| We also we have sent the final. | 00:08:57 | |
| Mailing over 2025. | 00:09:00 | |
| Schedule for the neighborhood outreach program. | 00:09:02 | |
| Which will end the end of May. | 00:09:05 | |
| At that time we will detect. | 00:09:08 | |
| Determine which neighborhoods that we stay in, or if we consolidate a few more of those into a another. | 00:09:10 | |
| Outreach program. | 00:09:17 | |
| Operation initiatives. | 00:09:20 | |
| Traffic count. | 00:09:22 | |
| For last month was 4584 year to date. | 00:09:24 | |
| 55,873. | 00:09:28 | |
| So it's a 7% traffic increase? | 00:09:31 | |
| A 2% volume. | 00:09:34 | |
| Compared to 2020. | 00:09:36 | |
| So we have seen our numbers grow. | 00:09:39 | |
| Overall. | 00:09:41 | |
| We were able to increase our revenue by. | 00:09:42 | |
| 25,000. | 00:09:46 | |
| Dollars and that's mainly because the price. | 00:09:47 | |
| Went from zero last year. | 00:09:51 | |
| To, you know, whatever it was then. | 00:09:53 | |
| For remainder of 2024. | 00:09:56 | |
| It's been a fluctuation. | 00:09:58 | |
| 75 to $55 per. | 00:10:00 | |
| So, but it's still good. | 00:10:04 | |
| Positive news for us. | 00:10:05 | |
| Equipment Overview. | 00:10:08 | |
| We did have to replace our old forklift. | 00:10:11 | |
| In December. | 00:10:14 | |
| Due to having excessive hours and multiple issues. | 00:10:16 | |
| So that was done in the new forklift is much better, much more. | 00:10:22 | |
| I guess applicable for our application it actually fits into our. | 00:10:27 | |
| Our building in which the old one did not. | 00:10:32 | |
| So it does make our throughput. | 00:10:34 | |
| Much better. | 00:10:37 | |
| It's much easier on our operators. | 00:10:38 | |
| So since July we have shipped. | 00:10:40 | |
| 146 Bells of carpool. | 00:10:45 | |
| So for those that are new. | 00:10:47 | |
| In July of last year. | 00:10:49 | |
| We. | 00:10:51 | |
| Bought a baler through our. | 00:10:52 | |
| I didn't grant right it was a 5050 purchase. | 00:10:55 | |
| But we started failing. | 00:10:59 | |
| Instead of transporting cardboard. | 00:11:02 | |
| Restaurant, you know. | 00:11:05 | |
| Up to probably 6 trips a day. | 00:11:07 | |
| We've decreased that substantially. So right now we're bailing about 90. | 00:11:10 | |
| 5% of the cardboard that comes into our. | 00:11:15 | |
| Facilities including our. | 00:11:18 | |
| Arguing. | 00:11:20 | |
| Facility. | 00:11:21 | |
| So I used to be. | 00:11:24 | |
| Kind of the main transporter. | 00:11:25 | |
| And at one time I was. | 00:11:27 | |
| Making probably 14 to 15 trips a month. | 00:11:28 | |
| Now our main transporter that we have in place. | 00:11:32 | |
| Maybe makes 2 trips a month. | 00:11:35 | |
| To restaurant so. | 00:11:37 | |
| Really you know a significant savings for us as far as. | 00:11:40 | |
| Wearing out our vehicle. | 00:11:43 | |
| Just gas. | 00:11:45 | |
| And so forth. | 00:11:46 | |
| It doesn't stop or. | 00:11:48 | |
| Just bear with me, where do you do the? | 00:11:50 | |
| At Grandma. | 00:11:53 | |
| OK, yes. And I invite if you haven't been there. | 00:11:55 | |
| I've been there to stop by. We can show you this. | 00:11:58 | |
| Whole process there. | 00:12:01 | |
| At one time we were just feeling we would fill trailers up. | 00:12:03 | |
| It hooked the truck and take it to West Rock. | 00:12:06 | |
| Now. | 00:12:09 | |
| We back them. | 00:12:09 | |
| The trucks and the trailers. | 00:12:11 | |
| And we unload them into the back. | 00:12:13 | |
| Or we don't even get them. We don't even. | 00:12:15 | |
| Actually, we had boxes outside the trailers that we pull up. | 00:12:17 | |
| And shovel back and forth. | 00:12:20 | |
| As far as education goes, we've had very successful trips to Mount Tabor. | 00:12:25 | |
| And same areas of the knobs. | 00:12:30 | |
| Laura Riggle is our education manager. | 00:12:32 | |
| She continues to try to grow that program. | 00:12:35 | |
| She did has been working with Scott Birch's class. | 00:12:38 | |
| At Mount Tabor. | 00:12:42 | |
| There she kind of gives an example of what she's doing with the students there. | 00:12:44 | |
| Special projects. | 00:12:49 | |
| Probably a month and 1/2. | 00:12:51 | |
| And a half ago we started. | 00:12:52 | |
| A joint venture with Hope. | 00:12:54 | |
| You know, people that can't make it to hope. | 00:12:59 | |
| During the week or they're just coming to our location? | 00:13:02 | |
| We accept. | 00:13:05 | |
| Their non perishable items and then once a week we will take them down. | 00:13:07 | |
| Because we go there anyway to collect the. | 00:13:12 | |
| Cardboard. So it's kind of a great, I guess, partnership with someone else in the community that's doing good. | 00:13:14 | |
| It's like we also did the Christmas tree. | 00:13:22 | |
| Promotion. | 00:13:25 | |
| Department which that ran until January 17th. | 00:13:26 | |
| And that's an ongoing. | 00:13:31 | |
| Yearly promotion that to them. | 00:13:32 | |
| At this time I was going to hand it over to mayor and. | 00:13:37 | |
| For the true ups, but since we're going. | 00:13:40 | |
| February, the only thing we need to do. | 00:13:42 | |
| Now is. | 00:13:45 | |
| Vote on the 2025 board meeting schedule. | 00:13:46 | |
| So what that does it says. | 00:13:50 | |
| February 18. | 00:13:53 | |
| Skip a month. | 00:13:55 | |
| Throughout the year. | 00:13:56 | |
| June 18th. April 15. | 00:13:57 | |
| June 17th. | 00:14:00 | |
| Christy, just for clarification, do we, do we actually need an official vote to table the true up since it's I was thinking so too | 00:14:05 | |
| because on the agenda I would table that and make a motion table. It's February. | 00:14:10 | |
| I moved the table the true UPS until February meeting. | 00:14:18 | |
| OK, I got a motion by Mr. Bagshaw. | 00:14:21 | |
| Second by Mr. Loop, any further discussion? | 00:14:24 | |
| All in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:14:28 | |
| Aye, aye. | 00:14:30 | |
| That carries. | 00:14:32 | |
| In regard to the board meeting schedule, is there any discussion? | 00:14:34 | |
| On that. | 00:14:39 | |
| Seems to run. | 00:14:41 | |
| Move to accept. Yeah, second. | 00:14:42 | |
| OK, I got a motion in a second to accept all in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:14:45 | |
| Aye, any opposed? | 00:14:49 | |
| That carries. | 00:14:51 | |
| Any public input today? | 00:14:54 | |
| I just want to say. | 00:14:57 | |
| That it's a pleasure to go through the drop offs. | 00:15:03 | |
| I'm gonna. | 00:15:07 | |
| On the website that's called Next Door and they've been some people talk about. | 00:15:09 | |
| How I feel like people are. | 00:15:14 | |
| Unpleasant when they get to the profile. | 00:15:16 | |
| I've never seen that happen to anybody. | 00:15:18 | |
| I think they do a great job. | 00:15:21 | |
| Thank you. | 00:15:22 | |
| Just really feels good to go there. | 00:15:23 | |
| Thank you, Sir. I appreciate that. | 00:15:28 | |
| Right, Mr. Ice, thank you very much. We appreciate that. | 00:15:32 | |
| We see him every week. | 00:15:38 | |
| Yeah, he makes his rounds. | 00:15:40 | |
| Cardboard, so he's almost a transporter. | 00:15:44 | |
| And the only other thing that I should have mentioned was. | 00:15:50 | |
| Staff wise. | 00:15:53 | |
| We have. | 00:15:54 | |
| Hired a new transporter slash lead operator. | 00:15:55 | |
| So that's going to help. | 00:15:58 | |
| A lot with with my outlook. | 00:16:00 | |
| I was dealing with the operations and something. | 00:16:05 | |
| All right. | 00:16:08 | |
| Thanks Sir, Appreciate it. | 00:16:12 | |
| Any closing comments from the board? | 00:16:14 | |
| Well, it's brand new for me. I'm going to be a learning experience. | 00:16:17 | |
| We'll tell you up. | 00:16:24 | |
| Just a funny story of. | 00:16:26 | |
| Got a recycle bin outside my door. | 00:16:27 | |
| My old Sonny Christmas, he goes. You're not recycling, are you? Kind of snot. | 00:16:29 | |
| I said, you know, come on, man, I mean. | 00:16:35 | |
| Even as Christians, we should lookout be good stewards of our planet that we're living on. | 00:16:37 | |
| So right. | 00:16:42 | |
| Doc. | 00:16:45 | |
| New Jersey, all right. | 00:16:47 | |
| Something. | 00:16:50 | |

| OK. So that you're reappointing or appointing those officers? | 00:01:08 | |
| Does anybody have any? | 00:01:12 | |
| I would nominate the slate of Jason Sharp for president, Dale Bagshaw for vice president. | 00:01:13 | |
| OK, second. | 00:01:19 | |
| We have. It's OK if we do them together. | 00:01:22 | |
| OK. | 00:01:24 | |
| Dale, are you OK with that? | 00:01:26 | |
| I'm good. | 00:01:28 | |
| Vice presidents don't do much, yeah. | 00:01:29 | |
| You. You will. You will. Because you know. Yeah. | 00:01:32 | |
| No, I think that's great. So we got a motion and a second for the nomination of Jason Sharp for president and Dale Bagshaw for | 00:01:36 | |
| Vice President. | 00:01:40 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:01:45 | |
| All in favor signify by saying aye aye. | 00:01:46 | |
| Any opposed? | 00:01:49 | |
| All right, it passes. | 00:01:50 | |
| Congratulations. | 00:01:54 | |
| Dale. | 00:01:56 | |
| All right, all right. | 00:01:57 | |
| The approval of the November 19 minutes. | 00:02:00 | |
| We should have received. | 00:02:05 | |
| All these via emails for approval and everything. | 00:02:07 | |
| So I'll just seek a motion to approve on on those. | 00:02:11 | |
| Make a motion. OK, motion by Mr. Loop. | 00:02:14 | |
| I get a second. | 00:02:17 | |

| OK, approval of December claims. | 00:02:35 | |
| Those were also sent via e-mail. | 00:02:41 | |
| I. | 00:02:44 | |
| December we already approved the. | 00:02:49 | |
| I'm sorry. | 00:02:51 | |
| This is the. | 00:02:53 | |
| We didn't have a special November meeting, did we? Got cancelled. | 00:02:54 | |
| So we have special. | 00:02:58 | |
| OK. | 00:03:01 | |
| Gotcha. That's my fault that I misread that. I was thinking that we had for the special meeting. OK, so. | 00:03:03 | |
| Actually I'm looking for approval of the special November claims. | 00:03:09 | |
| And those would have been sent via e-mail as well. | 00:03:14 | |
| Yes. | 00:03:21 | |
| Yes. | 00:03:23 | |
| These are not the ones that you were. | 00:03:26 | |
| No beforehand. | 00:03:27 | |
| No, these are not. These are separate. These have been reviewed. Yes, these these were sent to both me. | 00:03:29 | |
| And Mr. | 00:03:34 | |
| And. | 00:03:37 | |
| Mr. Striegel. | 00:03:38 | |
| Wasn't available, so Mr. Schellenberger. | 00:03:40 | |
| Signed on his behalf. | 00:03:43 | |
| Is that correct? | 00:03:44 | |
| Yeah, but I believe John signed them. Is that correct? | 00:03:50 | |
| OK, you'll ratify the decision today. Is that what? | 00:03:54 | |
| OK. | 00:03:58 | |
| They were prov. | 00:04:00 | |
| Yes. | 00:04:02 | |
| Yeah, I remember that. | 00:04:03 | |
| Right. | 00:04:05 | |
| All right. | 00:04:06 | |
| OK, so I move to approve those claims that have been reviewed the November and the November special and or. | 00:04:07 | |
| And then we're going to handle December separately, yes? | 00:04:14 | |
| OK, I got a motion. Can I get a second? | 00:04:18 | |
| I got a second by Mr. Bagshaw. | 00:04:20 | |
| All in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:04:22 | |
| Aye, any opposed? | 00:04:25 | |
| OK, Carries. | 00:04:27 | |
| Now we have December claims. | 00:04:29 | |
| I'd like a motion. | 00:04:34 | |
| Were those reviewed by the president and the vice president? Yes. | 00:04:37 | |
| Yes, OK. | 00:04:41 | |
| OK, Mr. Luke. | 00:04:43 | |
| All right, got a motion and a second. All in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:04:47 | |

| Which were approved by myself. | 00:04:58 | |
| OK, you did see him. I did. | 00:05:02 | |

| Motion by Mr. Loop and a second by Mr. Bagshaw. Any further discussion? | 00:05:06 | |
| OK, all in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:05:11 | |
| All right, any opposed? | 00:05:14 | |
| Carries. | 00:05:15 | |

| It's not the end of January, right? | 00:05:23 | |
| Huh. | 00:05:29 | |
| No, the ones that we are tailoring are the true UPS. | 00:05:31 | |
| That'll come. | 00:05:35 | |
| A little bit later. | 00:05:37 | |
| So. | 00:05:39 | |
| Can we can somebody explain why we're approving the general work? | 00:05:41 | |
| So 'cause. | 00:05:44 | |
| So anything after day will be approved in the. | 00:05:51 | |
| The February meeting. | 00:05:53 | |
| What if the if the schedule is proved? | 00:05:55 | |
| Gotcha. So it's not after today. | 00:06:02 | |
| OK. | 00:06:06 | |
| OK, I'm good. | 00:06:09 | |
| All right, seek a motion to approve. | 00:06:11 | |
| Motion by Mr. Luke, second Second by Mr. Bagshaw. Any further discussion? | 00:06:14 | |
| All in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:06:20 | |
| Aye, any opposed? | 00:06:23 | |
| Approval of. | 00:06:28 | |
| Resolution 202501. | 00:06:29 | |
| I did not. | 00:06:38 | |
| So. But this is basically their proof. | 00:06:58 | |
| The three new vendors in which. | 00:06:59 | |
| For solid waste and who are those 3 vendors? | 00:07:02 | |
| Gotcha. OK. | 00:07:15 | |
| Any further discussion from the board on that? | 00:07:20 | |
| I have no questions or two. | 00:07:34 | |
| I think Mr. Luke has a question he's discussing with the attorney right now. | 00:07:36 | |
| Are you OK with the the resolutions? | 00:07:57 | |
| Yeah. It's minor saying that's been in, Yeah. | 00:07:59 | |
| #2 OK. | 00:08:01 | |
| It's my understanding it's been in place. We're just adding three vendors, but everything else has been in place since the | 00:08:03 | |
| district was created. | 00:08:06 | |
| Yes. | 00:08:10 | |
| All right, I'll take a motion to approve. | 00:08:11 | |
| So move. | 00:08:14 | |
| Motion by Mr. Bagshaw. | 00:08:15 | |
| Second by Mr. | 00:08:17 | |
| Any further discussion? | 00:08:18 | |
| OK, all in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:08:20 | |
| Aye, any opposed carries? | 00:08:22 | |
| Directors report. | 00:08:26 | |
| For those that don't know me, I'm David. | 00:08:32 | |
| The director of Tech Scott Stuart Stewart's place and. | 00:08:34 | |
| In the September. | 00:08:39 | |
| So this is. | 00:08:40 | |
| 3rd month in place. | 00:08:41 | |
| So I'll get started. | 00:08:44 | |
| Marketing and communications. | 00:08:46 | |
| In the month of December, we saw an increase of 30 subscribers. | 00:08:48 | |
| For text messaging, alert prescriptions. | 00:08:52 | |
| We also we have sent the final. | 00:08:57 | |
| Mailing over 2025. | 00:09:00 | |
| Schedule for the neighborhood outreach program. | 00:09:02 | |
| Which will end the end of May. | 00:09:05 | |
| At that time we will detect. | 00:09:08 | |
| Determine which neighborhoods that we stay in, or if we consolidate a few more of those into a another. | 00:09:10 | |
| Outreach program. | 00:09:17 | |
| Operation initiatives. | 00:09:20 | |
| Traffic count. | 00:09:22 | |
| For last month was 4584 year to date. | 00:09:24 | |
| 55,873. | 00:09:28 | |
| So it's a 7% traffic increase? | 00:09:31 | |
| A 2% volume. | 00:09:34 | |
| Compared to 2020. | 00:09:36 | |
| So we have seen our numbers grow. | 00:09:39 | |
| Overall. | 00:09:41 | |
| We were able to increase our revenue by. | 00:09:42 | |
| 25,000. | 00:09:46 | |
| Dollars and that's mainly because the price. | 00:09:47 | |
| Went from zero last year. | 00:09:51 | |
| To, you know, whatever it was then. | 00:09:53 | |
| For remainder of 2024. | 00:09:56 | |
| It's been a fluctuation. | 00:09:58 | |
| 75 to $55 per. | 00:10:00 | |
| So, but it's still good. | 00:10:04 | |
| Positive news for us. | 00:10:05 | |
| Equipment Overview. | 00:10:08 | |
| We did have to replace our old forklift. | 00:10:11 | |
| In December. | 00:10:14 | |
| Due to having excessive hours and multiple issues. | 00:10:16 | |
| So that was done in the new forklift is much better, much more. | 00:10:22 | |
| I guess applicable for our application it actually fits into our. | 00:10:27 | |
| Our building in which the old one did not. | 00:10:32 | |
| So it does make our throughput. | 00:10:34 | |
| Much better. | 00:10:37 | |
| It's much easier on our operators. | 00:10:38 | |
| So since July we have shipped. | 00:10:40 | |
| 146 Bells of carpool. | 00:10:45 | |
| So for those that are new. | 00:10:47 | |
| In July of last year. | 00:10:49 | |
| We. | 00:10:51 | |
| Bought a baler through our. | 00:10:52 | |
| I didn't grant right it was a 5050 purchase. | 00:10:55 | |
| But we started failing. | 00:10:59 | |
| Instead of transporting cardboard. | 00:11:02 | |
| Restaurant, you know. | 00:11:05 | |
| Up to probably 6 trips a day. | 00:11:07 | |
| We've decreased that substantially. So right now we're bailing about 90. | 00:11:10 | |
| 5% of the cardboard that comes into our. | 00:11:15 | |
| Facilities including our. | 00:11:18 | |
| Arguing. | 00:11:20 | |
| Facility. | 00:11:21 | |
| So I used to be. | 00:11:24 | |
| Kind of the main transporter. | 00:11:25 | |
| And at one time I was. | 00:11:27 | |
| Making probably 14 to 15 trips a month. | 00:11:28 | |
| Now our main transporter that we have in place. | 00:11:32 | |
| Maybe makes 2 trips a month. | 00:11:35 | |
| To restaurant so. | 00:11:37 | |
| Really you know a significant savings for us as far as. | 00:11:40 | |
| Wearing out our vehicle. | 00:11:43 | |
| Just gas. | 00:11:45 | |
| And so forth. | 00:11:46 | |
| It doesn't stop or. | 00:11:48 | |
| Just bear with me, where do you do the? | 00:11:50 | |
| At Grandma. | 00:11:53 | |
| OK, yes. And I invite if you haven't been there. | 00:11:55 | |
| I've been there to stop by. We can show you this. | 00:11:58 | |
| Whole process there. | 00:12:01 | |
| At one time we were just feeling we would fill trailers up. | 00:12:03 | |
| It hooked the truck and take it to West Rock. | 00:12:06 | |
| Now. | 00:12:09 | |
| We back them. | 00:12:09 | |
| The trucks and the trailers. | 00:12:11 | |
| And we unload them into the back. | 00:12:13 | |
| Or we don't even get them. We don't even. | 00:12:15 | |
| Actually, we had boxes outside the trailers that we pull up. | 00:12:17 | |
| And shovel back and forth. | 00:12:20 | |
| As far as education goes, we've had very successful trips to Mount Tabor. | 00:12:25 | |
| And same areas of the knobs. | 00:12:30 | |
| Laura Riggle is our education manager. | 00:12:32 | |
| She continues to try to grow that program. | 00:12:35 | |
| She did has been working with Scott Birch's class. | 00:12:38 | |
| At Mount Tabor. | 00:12:42 | |
| There she kind of gives an example of what she's doing with the students there. | 00:12:44 | |
| Special projects. | 00:12:49 | |
| Probably a month and 1/2. | 00:12:51 | |
| And a half ago we started. | 00:12:52 | |
| A joint venture with Hope. | 00:12:54 | |
| You know, people that can't make it to hope. | 00:12:59 | |
| During the week or they're just coming to our location? | 00:13:02 | |
| We accept. | 00:13:05 | |
| Their non perishable items and then once a week we will take them down. | 00:13:07 | |
| Because we go there anyway to collect the. | 00:13:12 | |
| Cardboard. So it's kind of a great, I guess, partnership with someone else in the community that's doing good. | 00:13:14 | |
| It's like we also did the Christmas tree. | 00:13:22 | |
| Promotion. | 00:13:25 | |
| Department which that ran until January 17th. | 00:13:26 | |
| And that's an ongoing. | 00:13:31 | |
| Yearly promotion that to them. | 00:13:32 | |
| At this time I was going to hand it over to mayor and. | 00:13:37 | |
| For the true ups, but since we're going. | 00:13:40 | |
| February, the only thing we need to do. | 00:13:42 | |
| Now is. | 00:13:45 | |
| Vote on the 2025 board meeting schedule. | 00:13:46 | |
| So what that does it says. | 00:13:50 | |
| February 18. | 00:13:53 | |
| Skip a month. | 00:13:55 | |
| Throughout the year. | 00:13:56 | |
| June 18th. April 15. | 00:13:57 | |
| June 17th. | 00:14:00 | |
| Christy, just for clarification, do we, do we actually need an official vote to table the true up since it's I was thinking so too | 00:14:05 | |
| because on the agenda I would table that and make a motion table. It's February. | 00:14:10 | |
| I moved the table the true UPS until February meeting. | 00:14:18 | |
| OK, I got a motion by Mr. Bagshaw. | 00:14:21 | |
| Second by Mr. Loop, any further discussion? | 00:14:24 | |
| All in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:14:28 | |
| Aye, aye. | 00:14:30 | |
| That carries. | 00:14:32 | |
| In regard to the board meeting schedule, is there any discussion? | 00:14:34 | |
| On that. | 00:14:39 | |
| Seems to run. | 00:14:41 | |
| Move to accept. Yeah, second. | 00:14:42 | |
| OK, I got a motion in a second to accept all in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:14:45 | |
| Aye, any opposed? | 00:14:49 | |
| That carries. | 00:14:51 | |
| Any public input today? | 00:14:54 | |
| I just want to say. | 00:14:57 | |
| That it's a pleasure to go through the drop offs. | 00:15:03 | |
| I'm gonna. | 00:15:07 | |
| On the website that's called Next Door and they've been some people talk about. | 00:15:09 | |
| How I feel like people are. | 00:15:14 | |
| Unpleasant when they get to the profile. | 00:15:16 | |
| I've never seen that happen to anybody. | 00:15:18 | |
| I think they do a great job. | 00:15:21 | |
| Thank you. | 00:15:22 | |
| Just really feels good to go there. | 00:15:23 | |
| Thank you, Sir. I appreciate that. | 00:15:28 | |
| Right, Mr. Ice, thank you very much. We appreciate that. | 00:15:32 | |
| We see him every week. | 00:15:38 | |
| Yeah, he makes his rounds. | 00:15:40 | |
| Cardboard, so he's almost a transporter. | 00:15:44 | |
| And the only other thing that I should have mentioned was. | 00:15:50 | |
| Staff wise. | 00:15:53 | |
| We have. | 00:15:54 | |
| Hired a new transporter slash lead operator. | 00:15:55 | |
| So that's going to help. | 00:15:58 | |
| A lot with with my outlook. | 00:16:00 | |
| I was dealing with the operations and something. | 00:16:05 | |
| All right. | 00:16:08 | |
| Thanks Sir, Appreciate it. | 00:16:12 | |
| Any closing comments from the board? | 00:16:14 | |
| Well, it's brand new for me. I'm going to be a learning experience. | 00:16:17 | |
| We'll tell you up. | 00:16:24 | |
| Just a funny story of. | 00:16:26 | |
| Got a recycle bin outside my door. | 00:16:27 | |
| My old Sonny Christmas, he goes. You're not recycling, are you? Kind of snot. | 00:16:29 | |
| I said, you know, come on, man, I mean. | 00:16:35 | |
| Even as Christians, we should lookout be good stewards of our planet that we're living on. | 00:16:37 | |
| So right. | 00:16:42 | |
| Doc. | 00:16:45 | |
| New Jersey, all right. | 00:16:47 | |
| Something. | 00:16:50 | |
| Frank did. | 00:16:59 | |
| Frank took responsibility. | 00:17:01 | |
| All right. | 00:17:04 | |
| Yeah, yeah. Do it. Thank you, everybody. | 00:17:06 |
