“I just watched this video before I came it's called Composting 101 for kids I don't know if you've seen that or not”
“one of the things we talked about was being more intentional on communicating in ways that how the communities um communicate right and a lot of it had to do with the um the Asian community and the small communities that were around here and part of it was well you know with social media everything shared a lot of it was they get a lot of their news through the radio right especially the small radios and the Mong radio and is that something we can look into”
“the drains that I've we adopt three drains and as you can see from the map and generally what I find is limited to no compostable items so it's a lot of like plastic bottle caps plastic bottles that are crunched driven over cans those kinds of things”
“the drain in the roundabout uh the West drain by the first field um I I have found over the last few years uh does not have as much debris as the drain U adjacent to City Hall and the parking lots up front”

“I know that for the month of October we talk a lot about Energy Efficiency and having just gone through uh at our house a home energy audit I'm wondering would it how would Commissioners feel about sharing that maybe in like June I us be able to do better cuz I think that would be better cuz you know I know fall is when people start thinking about it but um they really should be doing it ahead of time before it gets cold”
“the city picks up 50% of the cost of it so um and the other 50% I think it's just $50 right $100 total we pick up half the resident picks up half um but the half covered by the resident is is a tax deduction the feds will give you that as a tax credit so for doing home energy audits”
“what how how is the city thinking about Landscaping erosion water things any other kind of Environmental investment that could be a showcase for Oakdale at the new Public Works campus yeah so a full environmental and Landscaping plan was designed when the building was designed”
“because we tried to limit the the asphalt and concrete as much as possible so there is still um Green Space and buffer around the building as well and then things like the salt storage those are going to have enclosed toine spaces for for that to live”
