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

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

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

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

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
