intended.
PETITIONS & COMMUNICATIONS
There is a forum on recycling in Columbus to be held tonight, August 12, 2008,
at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. The city is debating having one trash
pickup day instead of two a week. All members of the Commission are encouraged
to attend. Gloria encouraged all Commissioners to get a blue bin and recycle
in their homes.
2008-2009 KCBC CALENDAR REVIEW/COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
Beth encouraged all the Commissioners to read the new calendar and put
important dates on their personal calendar. She also asked them to decide
which projects they want to volunteer for. We will be asking for Commissioners
to sign up for the different committees at the October meeting.
OLD BUSINESS
Development of a Finance Team: This is ongoing and we will report more at a
later date.
.
Recycle Trailer Artwork ? Several Commissioners have not thought the artwork on
the recycling trailer is appropriate. Each selection is a tattoo. KGB is
making several different images available that can be used on the trailer. The
cost to change the image will be about $3,000.00, which would be paid by KCBC.
The discussion is ongoing and no decision has been made. Gloria suggested
possibly attaching a banner to the trailer, and the expense would be a less.
The Commissioners were encouraged to make use of the recycling bins, along with
the trailer, at any events they participate in. There are 100 recycling bins
to be loaned out to promote recycling at large events or small neighborhood
events.

Next Commissioners Meeting will be October 14, 2008
