Can I get a first and last name? Alright, so my name is David Kane. I live in the city of Los Altos. 47 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:10.349 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm here to speak to you about an initiative we have called the Electrification Collaboration. 48 00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:15.980 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And this is a pilot that we started in that city. 49 00:03:16.130 --> 00:03:20.909 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Largely because… the Climate Action Plan has stalled. 50 00:03:21.430 --> 00:03:28.449 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And all the cities in our region actually have employment action plans. They're excellent. 51 00:03:28.980 --> 00:03:34.100 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): But we… wanted to… Engage the public. 52 00:03:34.640 --> 00:03:41.890 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): In home electrification, because we feel that that is a powerful way To engage the community. 53 00:03:42.530 --> 00:03:44.840 Quinlan Conf Room: Situation that most of the cities have. 54 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:51.310 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is they have excellent plans, and they're trying to reach out To all of the communities. 55 00:03:52.220 --> 00:03:56.200 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): But where is the community reaching into the city? 56 00:03:56.950 --> 00:03:57.950 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): T. 57 00:03:58.490 --> 00:04:00.149 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): With a shared interest. 58 00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:02.700 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, we start something about… 59 00:04:03.090 --> 00:04:09.769 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): A year and a half ago, as an experiment focusing on this vertical area of electrification. 60 00:04:10.300 --> 00:04:20.589 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we were surprised to see that there were enormous number of… ways… To engage with the community. 61 00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:31.209 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because there's so much going on. So many people are investing in the new technologies, which is one of the pillars of your Climate Action Plan. 62 00:04:31.410 --> 00:04:34.859 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And it's turned out to be a wonderful way 63 00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:37.909 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Of creating that sort of synergy that's lacking. 64 00:04:38.490 --> 00:04:47.689 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So what I'm here to do is to offer my colleagues, so this is Birasaur and Steve LaFerre, to… 65 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.359 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): See if there might be an interest in us piloting. 66 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.779 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): same initiative for Cupertino. 67 00:04:55.470 --> 00:04:59.140 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we believe that it would be a 6-month campaign. 68 00:04:59.670 --> 00:05:07.920 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And this is purely voluntary by residents. This is something that would be… Undertaking, with your knowledge. 69 00:05:08.440 --> 00:05:13.790 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): With as much partition as you like, but it's really evolving from the ground. 70 00:05:14.310 --> 00:05:18.039 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): From ground level up. So we've had some meetings with Susan and Jack. 71 00:05:18.430 --> 00:05:23.620 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I could elaborate a little bit more, but I just wanted to say there's an offer on the table. 72 00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:30.409 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And if you would like to pursue this with us, we would be delighted to work with you all. 73 00:05:32.170 --> 00:05:33.300 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. 74 00:05:34.840 --> 00:05:35.710 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Wonderful. 75 00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:44.210 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are there any other members of the public wishing to speak? 76 00:05:45.070 --> 00:05:52.000 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I couldn't… lately, so I'm… Bill, Russ here, unlike. 77 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:56.700 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): My colleague, David Cain, I'm a Cupertino resident. 78 00:05:56.990 --> 00:06:07.830 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I guess the main thing I want to add on top of what, David said, maybe a couple things. One is that, 79 00:06:08.390 --> 00:06:10.179 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Bes… the… 80 00:06:10.200 --> 00:06:25.039 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): about the modes of engagement, and then an ask. So, I'm sort of new to the electrification collaboration team, but having seen what's been going on for about the last 6 months in Los Altos. 81 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:35.809 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): It includes tabling, so meeting with the public. It also includes advocating with city council, and it helps if actual residents, you know. 82 00:06:36.010 --> 00:06:43.939 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): from the city in question, or… as opposed to outsiders. and also, outreach, like, 83 00:06:44.300 --> 00:06:46.710 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): To media, like letters to the editor. 84 00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:48.910 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that's some of the… 85 00:06:48.960 --> 00:07:01.839 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): what actually, happens, and some of us are on an email thread, but hopefully in the next month or two, we'll have some tabling events, maybe at the Senior Center and the 86 00:07:01.850 --> 00:07:11.320 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Cupertino Library, and we can get, folks maybe from Cupertino Rotary, or maybe from the city who want to join in as well. 87 00:07:11.420 --> 00:07:13.129 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, that's what we're doing. 88 00:07:14.510 --> 00:07:17.090 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Wow. 89 00:07:18.270 --> 00:07:20.230 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do we have any other speakers in person? 90 00:07:22.300 --> 00:07:25.250 Quinlan Conf Room: And we have no hands raised on Zoom, Chair. 91 00:07:25.250 --> 00:07:28.990 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, Commissioner Yan, do you have anybody there? 92 00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:34.620 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Does she have anybody? She's a… 93 00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:38.949 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm supposed to ask her, right? Okay, she has nobody. She here just can't talk. Okay. 94 00:07:38.950 --> 00:07:40.980 Conny Yang: Oh, no one… 95 00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:41.630 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. 96 00:07:42.140 --> 00:07:42.960 Conny Yang: Alright. 97 00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:46.049 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. Okay, so there's nobody else 98 00:07:46.510 --> 00:07:52.809 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can we move on to written communications? Is there any written communications? 99 00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:55.720 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, we did. 100 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.099 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have one written communication, yes, that was sent out earlier today. 101 00:08:09.540 --> 00:08:13.569 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you want me to pull it up? Yes. Okay, sorry. Hang on a second. 102 00:08:14.650 --> 00:08:19.260 Quinlan Conf Room: Couple hours ago. Okay, give me one minute. Too many devices. 103 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.679 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I should have had that pulled up already. Okay. 104 00:08:40.570 --> 00:08:44.139 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): This written communication is for item number 4. 105 00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:59.050 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. 106 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.710 Quinlan Conf Room: Does it have to be heard at item number 4? 107 00:09:04.190 --> 00:09:06.330 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't believe so, as it's written. 108 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.569 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can you read that from there? Do you want me to make it bigger? 109 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.440 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): If you could. Yeah. 110 00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:20.200 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): With this old guy. 111 00:09:20.530 --> 00:09:21.500 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. 112 00:09:59.250 --> 00:10:00.349 Quinlan Conf Room: I'm sitting. 113 00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:05.670 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, I was able to read it. 114 00:10:10.180 --> 00:10:11.780 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Ready? Okay. 115 00:10:17.560 --> 00:10:18.320 Quinlan Conf Room: Heh. 116 00:10:19.930 --> 00:10:31.459 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm not sure what to do about this, just acknowledge that we thought it. Yeah, no, you can move on. Okay, thank you. All right, staff and commission reports. Do we have any commission reports? Any staff reports? 117 00:10:31.930 --> 00:10:33.360 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Staff reports first. 118 00:10:34.060 --> 00:10:47.020 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Staff reports first. Okay, we do have several. We did receive a B on our CDP report, that's just our annual reporting, just keeping you updated on that. What does that mean? 119 00:10:47.550 --> 00:10:50.050 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is the scoring… 120 00:10:50.260 --> 00:11:06.739 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Great, it's an international disclosure of all of the doing and how well we're doing for our greenhouse gas reduction and staying on top of our Climate Action Plan. The main reason we don't have an A is because our midterm targets are not 121 00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:17.100 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): completely science-based, which they… we received an A in the past, and they were considered science-based, and now the science has changed. So, okay, so I've come from. 122 00:11:17.230 --> 00:11:22.690 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. One world is that a C means you're doing your job. 123 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:31.739 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And another world is that if you don't get an A, then you're failing. So what sort of… what world are we in on when we talk about this stuff? 124 00:11:31.745 --> 00:11:32.745 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): want to agendize it. 125 00:11:32.745 --> 00:11:34.055 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We can go into it more. 126 00:11:34.475 --> 00:11:42.625 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, I just was wondering how bad it was. No, it's not bad. Okay. Okay. In other. 127 00:11:42.625 --> 00:11:51.084 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): In other news, we have partnered with the Library of Things, so that's our Cupertino Library District, and we have given them induction cooktop 128 00:11:51.245 --> 00:12:03.945 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): portables with pans that are compliant, and little magnets and information. So we have, I believe, 6 or 7 of those kits now that anyone can check out from the library at any time to test induction cooking. 129 00:12:04.775 --> 00:12:06.884 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And that was just started this week. 130 00:12:07.210 --> 00:12:12.429 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are they actually checking them out now? Yes. Oh, okay. I thought that was still pending. 131 00:12:12.435 --> 00:12:17.834 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Have… have they been… I don't know, are they… is it popular, or is it… It started this week. 132 00:12:17.835 --> 00:12:24.944 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I… we have not had a… any update on someone's date of the role to the library, so we don't have stats yet. 133 00:12:24.945 --> 00:12:28.614 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We meet every 3 months, so I have to get as much out of this as I can. 134 00:12:30.400 --> 00:12:42.080 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Environmental Day, is January 17th, 8 to noon, De Anza College, Parking Lot A, and we have our next composting workshop on February 28th. 135 00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:49.979 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We did have a successful coat drive from November 22nd through January 2nd. 136 00:12:50.150 --> 00:12:59.070 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, that collected over 220 coats. That's in partnership with Rookology, that we do this winter coat drive at the library every year. 137 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:23.329 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And more exciting news, we have confirmed, that we have received $223,000 from a non-competitive grant from Silicon Valley Clean Energy, with the intention that we're going to put it towards the service center's new EV chargers that will fuel our municipal transition to comply with the state's advanced clean fleet. 138 00:13:24.290 --> 00:13:41.349 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then the last update I have for you, without going into it in too much detail, we completed a 8-month project that we got, got, support from Bay Run to complete what they call a roadmap. 139 00:13:41.510 --> 00:13:45.680 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So we addressed 5 facilities at the city. 140 00:13:45.680 --> 00:14:06.379 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And they looked at all of our air conditioners, and all of our light bulbs, and the infrastructure of the foundation of the walls, and our times of when we're turning on our heat and air conditioners, and how efficient things are, and made a plan for us, and cost estimates on what we should identify as priority 141 00:14:06.380 --> 00:14:16.200 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): areas, and so we can go into that more if you want all of the nuances of it, but basically we've finished a project and we're moving forward with recommendations 142 00:14:16.410 --> 00:14:20.859 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Where feasible for CIP to support sustainability work. 143 00:14:22.330 --> 00:14:25.240 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you have an expense estimate? Yes. 144 00:14:27.950 --> 00:14:31.929 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It depends on per project. I can… I can get into details more if you have… 145 00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:33.900 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): on all of this. I'm just… 146 00:14:34.030 --> 00:14:37.470 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): It makes a difference of whether or not the city 147 00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:41.000 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Pay-for-the-buck stuff, which is kind of. 148 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.050 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, if we don't have so much time to go into detail here… 149 00:14:45.055 --> 00:14:47.744 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is it possible to… It's not… it's not on… 150 00:14:47.745 --> 00:14:55.564 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): agendized, so we don't want to discuss it, and it's not a forum. Okay, so can you send, like, a demo? We can put it on the agenda next time. Yeah. 151 00:14:56.560 --> 00:15:01.089 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, if you don't want to put it on the agenda, can you just send, like, the… 152 00:15:01.090 --> 00:15:04.199 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Stevens, and then… no, can be… It could be a part… 153 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:09.419 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It can be a public document. Yeah. We can make it a public document, that's fine. 154 00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:13.930 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, any other ones for ourselves? 155 00:15:15.020 --> 00:15:15.800 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. 156 00:15:17.140 --> 00:15:20.640 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sounds good. When is the Environmental Fair? 157 00:15:20.645 --> 00:15:27.455 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Environmental Day, that's the paper shredding and drop-off event, January 17th, 18th. 158 00:15:27.460 --> 00:15:29.280 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, no word. 159 00:15:29.280 --> 00:15:31.730 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you have a commission report? No. 160 00:15:32.330 --> 00:15:35.380 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a comment on the recycling link. 161 00:15:35.380 --> 00:15:36.539 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, we're not there yet. 162 00:15:37.560 --> 00:15:39.819 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): All right, so are we done the staff reports, though? 163 00:15:39.825 --> 00:15:42.084 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): done with staff reports. Okay, are there any commission. 164 00:15:42.085 --> 00:15:43.955 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): reports? Anybody want any commission? 165 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.880 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Packaging the arrival. 166 00:15:47.510 --> 00:15:48.390 Quinlan Conf Room: Doc? 167 00:15:49.850 --> 00:15:53.170 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Connie, do you have any commissioning report? Any activity? 168 00:15:55.570 --> 00:16:00.360 Conny Yang: Sorry, what was it? 169 00:16:00.750 --> 00:16:04.449 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hi, Commissioner… Activity that you want to update us on? 170 00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:19.889 Conny Yang: Am I about to text it out? 171 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.120 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are you able to what? 172 00:16:23.030 --> 00:16:23.790 Conny Yang: Type it out. 173 00:16:25.760 --> 00:16:32.690 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can she type it out? Can she type it on Zoom? No… there's no chat feature. 174 00:16:33.130 --> 00:16:36.470 Conny Yang: Sorry, can you rename the list again? 175 00:16:36.880 --> 00:16:42.820 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you have any commission reports? Any updates since our last meeting of things that you've done or attending? 176 00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:46.740 Conny Yang: None, none. Sorry, my speaker's really bad. None, yes. 177 00:16:47.020 --> 00:16:50.199 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thanks. Alex? Commissioner, Commissioner Schiffell? 178 00:16:50.205 --> 00:16:52.664 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I guess we… I guess I should say that… 179 00:16:53.290 --> 00:16:55.340 Quinlan Conf Room: I attended a meeting with these gentlemen. 180 00:16:56.630 --> 00:16:59.700 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Susan, we did not talk about any 181 00:16:59.820 --> 00:17:04.630 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): internal stuff here, we talked about their project. Yeah. And. 182 00:17:05.194 --> 00:17:11.714 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm emphasizing that you have been attending on your own, not on behalf of the Commission. That's correct. Okay. 183 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.990 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I also, meet with… Representative… 184 00:17:17.130 --> 00:17:23.069 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): at the, Silicon Valley, West, West Valley, whatever it is, Food Bank. 185 00:17:24.069 --> 00:17:25.999 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And chat them up over. 186 00:17:26.280 --> 00:17:29.800 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): But I'm trying to get any inside information beyond that. 187 00:17:30.940 --> 00:17:39.420 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): The other thing is we should get contact information from them, too, right? Business card or something. You might want it for the report. Yes. Okay, cool. 188 00:17:39.710 --> 00:17:44.780 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Quick question, and I'm not sure if Stab is going to cover this, but I'm curious to. 189 00:17:44.780 --> 00:17:55.240 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): see the events that we plan on moving or participating in for spring. I know that that's just around the corner, and I always like to plan ahead, so… 190 00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:03.900 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Maybe it's a question for later, or in a separate email, but just wondering if there's a list of events that are available for spring. 191 00:18:03.905 --> 00:18:13.715 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't have that off the top of my head, except for Earth Day, April 5th, but I will send out… Sorry, April 4th. April 4th. 192 00:18:13.715 --> 00:18:15.995 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Saturday. 193 00:18:17.170 --> 00:18:20.079 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I will send out a sign-up sheet. Thank you. Yeah. 194 00:18:20.730 --> 00:18:37.909 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): As far as… so you're done, right? I'm done. Okay, as far as what I would update everybody else, the mayor's meeting, really quickly. So, everybody talked. There was… I was surprised it was in November, but it was in December. So it was in November that we met, 195 00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:55.319 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Briefly, there was a strong recommendation for commissions to provide short, high-level summaries, because some commissioners do really long things. And then there's going to be a Brown Act training for everybody, because there's some concerns about the Brown Act violate… any Brown Act violations. 196 00:18:55.330 --> 00:19:08.459 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And for the Planning Commission, they're looking at objective design standards for multifamily and mixed-use developments, so they're trying to make sure that the bird-safe pedestrian bikes access. 197 00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:23.089 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And that the landscaping is good. Also, they want to have some kind of cleanup code for landscaping and protected trees. For the Economic Development Committee, they knew that, and they're trying to figure out the impact of Super Bowl. 198 00:19:23.090 --> 00:19:37.269 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is that 5th… 50… 5th… 60s? 60, I know, LX, how do you do the math? The FIFO World Cup, and also the television show called Cooper Timo. They're very excited about that, so they're trying to capitalize on that. 199 00:19:37.350 --> 00:19:55.070 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): For the Bike Ped Commission, they have this vision now, it's called Vision Zero, and they're trying to do, efforts, safety efforts and transportation planning, and they're aligning with the Sustainability Commission goals for reducing vehicle mass, vehicle miles traveled. 200 00:19:55.190 --> 00:20:08.260 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Also, the Housing Commission reported a productive review of housing programs and a desire to coordinate more closely with the Housing Commission on development-related sustainability items. 201 00:20:08.260 --> 00:20:22.079 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then Parks and Rec, they're… they looked at facility usage and rates, and they're comparing the facility usage rates with, other neighboring cities, so… and they also looked at the Lawrence Meeting Park development. 202 00:20:22.340 --> 00:20:34.579 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Key takeaway is that the Mayor highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary coordination. She said that the work plan items, such as the urban forest management and building electrification permits. 203 00:20:34.580 --> 00:20:45.950 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): The reducing consumption panel will recognize as key components of the City's broader efforts to improve the quality and life of the community when our community resumes. So, I thought that was… 204 00:20:47.090 --> 00:20:52.779 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so no more staff, no more, staff communications. 205 00:20:52.970 --> 00:20:57.140 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so can we move on to staff and communication reports? 206 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.200 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do all this stuff before? 207 00:21:00.450 --> 00:21:01.050 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Huh? 208 00:21:01.050 --> 00:21:08.210 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We just did staff and commission reports. Now we're on old… Oh, sorry, sorry, old business. Sorry about that. There's no old business. Okay. 209 00:21:09.310 --> 00:21:11.189 Quinlan Conf Room: Then we move on to… 210 00:21:11.340 --> 00:21:12.620 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Item 2. 211 00:21:13.230 --> 00:21:21.219 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, to discuss the feasibility and general logistics of a sustainability commission on event or a panel in reducing consumption. 212 00:21:21.580 --> 00:21:25.510 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. So this was our homework. This was your homework. 213 00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:27.539 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): May I… 214 00:21:29.370 --> 00:21:31.680 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): First, make it… Yep. 215 00:21:33.890 --> 00:21:36.920 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): You don't have to hang around any further if you want to. 216 00:21:37.840 --> 00:21:42.180 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): But you're welcome to… I'm not telling you, I'm just saying… 217 00:21:42.350 --> 00:21:45.339 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): You don't have… we're not… we're not hanging. No, we're not gonna be inviting. 218 00:21:45.345 --> 00:21:46.624 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): to get more speeches. 219 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.960 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, but you can… you can bring your slides on. No, I'm just kidding. 220 00:21:49.965 --> 00:21:58.025 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): make any public comment about the items we're talking about. There's a public comment period. Most of the rest of the night's focused around waste. 221 00:21:58.235 --> 00:22:06.944 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): But there is a work plan of things that, if you wanted to have an opinion on the work plan and what this commission's focusing on, there is an item about that. 222 00:22:08.735 --> 00:22:09.815 Quinlan Conf Room: Later on. 223 00:22:10.550 --> 00:22:13.989 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, but we're free to, on our own discretion, step out. Okay. 224 00:22:13.995 --> 00:22:18.365 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): We will understand. Both your fault. 225 00:22:20.450 --> 00:22:37.440 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, okay. So I'm just gonna go over… I think I have 4 slides for you, related to this item. I pulled in a few bullet points here from the Municipal Code about the Sustainability Commission's powers and functions. 226 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:46.890 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): as I interpret it to apply to hosting some sort of event or panel, Or effort around waste consumption. 227 00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:58.470 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I just wanted to highlight a couple things. Number 3 and 6 are really pointing out that 228 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:12.549 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): you're acting as the City Council wants to advise you on how to create community awareness or behavior change and get participation. 229 00:23:14.010 --> 00:23:21.010 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then number 4 is saying that you have the power to create illustrative examples. 230 00:23:21.090 --> 00:23:28.809 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): To do a lot of different things, but design and roll out some sort of pollution prevention or etc. campaign. 231 00:23:28.850 --> 00:23:44.680 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So doing some sort of campaign is within your scope, and then any other activity deemed appropriate by City Council. So, you advise City Council, and City Council advise you that an activity is appropriate within your scope. 232 00:23:47.140 --> 00:23:53.310 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Other projects that have been deemed appropriate by Council. 233 00:23:53.310 --> 00:24:03.819 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): four commissions to lead. I have two examples. The teen commission, it was hosting Bo Bakino to promote mental health awareness. 234 00:24:03.820 --> 00:24:19.569 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): This came from our previous mayor's, project, that he really cared about this, and it was, funded by the mayor's project budget for that year. And because of its success, it was added to the base budget and is now hosted annually. 235 00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:37.420 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Another one is the TIC Commission. TIC, did a cybersecurity awareness event, and that was also Council-directed as part of their City Work Program item in 2024, and they just had that event in October of 2025. 236 00:24:37.570 --> 00:24:45.250 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So those are two examples of how it has worked, where Council has directed a commission to do a thing. 237 00:24:46.630 --> 00:25:05.400 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): In my homework to you all, I asked you to take a look at the cap and see if there was any specific engagement activities that called to you. You didn't have to pull from the CAP for this discussion, but that was my suggestion, so I pulled out a few that I thought might be appropriate. 238 00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:09.159 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So the first one is an outreach campaign. 239 00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:22.839 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that is considered deemable within your scope now, and then I quoted what the action says, conduct multilingual, culturally appropriate, diverse waste prevention educational and technical assistance campaigns. 240 00:25:25.350 --> 00:25:36.950 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then the following two, Waste Warriors, that's like a master recycling type of program, so an educational program that is more about learning waste prevention. 241 00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:39.940 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I will say that we are… 242 00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:52.359 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): as staff are hoping to pursue this, but Commission, participation is welcome, as deemed appropriate by Council. And then the third one that I thought would be 243 00:25:52.360 --> 00:26:00.709 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): maybe fun and appropriate for this commission is to try to coordinate a fix-it clinic or repair cafe where you have people come in and fix their items. 244 00:26:01.310 --> 00:26:07.640 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So any topics are welcome, but these… these are 3 that are… Point it out. 245 00:26:07.930 --> 00:26:16.890 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So as you are discussing your proposals and the feasibility of the proposals, I've highlighted, kind of, 3 options. 246 00:26:16.890 --> 00:26:33.010 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): for you to address, either one, to do an awareness and feedback campaign, where today you can make a motion to form a subcommittee and have two of you develop whatever campaign this looks like, however you want the words to say, if you want to make TikTok videos. 247 00:26:33.010 --> 00:26:36.189 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): The two of you would kind of decide that and take the lead. 248 00:26:37.630 --> 00:26:52.809 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or we can draft a proposal and advise City Council on a way for you all to have an event in the future, that you think is appropriate. They would have to then turn around and say, yes, we want to fund it, and we want you to do it. 249 00:26:53.140 --> 00:27:04.630 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then option 3 is not feasible, the city should spend its money elsewhere, we, you know, we don't have anything right now that's worth doing, and so revisiting this at a later date. 250 00:27:05.370 --> 00:27:13.320 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that's kind of how I have laid it out as feasible to help wrap your mind around things. 251 00:27:16.140 --> 00:27:18.829 Quinlan Conf Room: And, yeah, that concludes my presentation. 252 00:27:22.770 --> 00:27:24.520 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any input, any comments? 253 00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:27.739 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, take questions first. Questions? 254 00:27:29.250 --> 00:27:35.599 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a lot of questions, but… No, no, go ahead. Go ahead, Commissioner Fan. Thank you, Chair. 255 00:27:35.790 --> 00:27:40.170 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, one of the first questions for staff, 256 00:27:40.340 --> 00:27:47.860 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there a particular interest that any council members have expressed, like, you know, interest? 257 00:27:48.080 --> 00:27:55.370 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): for the Commission to take on. Because I feel like if any of us suggest anything that required Council approval, we should probably take that. 258 00:27:55.930 --> 00:27:57.530 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Ursula? 259 00:27:58.670 --> 00:28:00.870 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Not that I can think of. Not that I can. 260 00:28:00.870 --> 00:28:05.660 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): not directly about sustainability commissions should do this, or sustainability… 261 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:09.359 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Should try to host any sort of event. Has not come up. 262 00:28:10.080 --> 00:28:16.379 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Got it. Yeah. Got it. And you're not aware that they would oppose any topics, or any specific topics? 263 00:28:18.360 --> 00:28:20.679 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Regarding waste, specifically. 264 00:28:21.850 --> 00:28:35.360 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No. Right, they've already approved the items under CAP, so it's more likely that they'll approve moving forward with an item under CAP. Got it. Which is kind of… I leaned in that direction. Probably, but. 265 00:28:35.360 --> 00:28:36.440 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): to be returned. 266 00:28:36.755 --> 00:28:41.275 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, anything that takes more budget will be less likely to be approved. 267 00:28:41.275 --> 00:28:48.165 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): sense. On to the point, and really quickly, not to take too much time, onto the point about forming subcommittee. 268 00:28:48.485 --> 00:29:00.775 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): For subcommittees, would those meetings also have to be posted? No. So, like, let's say if it's, like, Jack and someone else, they can just meet and talk on their own. 269 00:29:00.775 --> 00:29:25.695 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It would probably be staff coordinated, so the three of us, whoever, would meet together and come up with a plan. And so it would look like if you wanted to draft a social media post or a flyer, that we would design that together. What do you want it to say? And then I believe we would have to come back together as a commission and say, yes, we approve these designs, and then they would 270 00:29:25.695 --> 00:29:28.035 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): posted I don't… okay, I'll shut it back. 271 00:29:28.035 --> 00:29:40.514 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): after this. Speaking of budget, there's no planned budget right now, right, for any initiative for the Commission. Correct. Okay, got it. I mean, I think that. 272 00:29:40.515 --> 00:29:44.504 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): You have a budget for regular stuff that they… your Google manager. 273 00:29:44.705 --> 00:29:46.575 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But nothing for this time. 274 00:29:46.685 --> 00:29:48.695 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, no commission-led event. 275 00:29:51.460 --> 00:29:54.530 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. Anybody else? Commissioner Carter? 276 00:29:55.750 --> 00:30:07.059 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm already… doing… this, and I'm willing to expand on it, but I'm doing, composting, 277 00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.890 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Workshops, and we could do pop-ups during, our festivals. 278 00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:13.269 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We want to. 279 00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:15.009 Quinlan Conf Room: I mean… 280 00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:21.770 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because all my other ideas had nothing to do with us doing tabling, but… targeting other… 281 00:30:22.320 --> 00:30:25.710 Quinlan Conf Room: Waste things, which is not what you want to talk about right now. 282 00:30:26.760 --> 00:30:28.569 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, you can talk, I mean, we can… 283 00:30:28.575 --> 00:30:32.624 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, we can move on to discussion if there's no other questions. I, I mean. 284 00:30:32.625 --> 00:30:38.874 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): If we want to… are we… are we supporting our… your first idea right now, or later? 285 00:30:39.485 --> 00:30:41.044 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): My first ideas? 286 00:30:41.295 --> 00:30:42.415 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We were supposed to. 287 00:30:42.415 --> 00:30:44.635 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): bring ideas, right? Yeah, where they live. 288 00:30:44.635 --> 00:30:52.584 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I always have ideas regarding waste, so that is my number one topic. So, the second one, what we are suggesting, I have to… 289 00:30:52.725 --> 00:30:54.454 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll be with that. 290 00:30:54.820 --> 00:30:58.940 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are you talking… supporting my… these ideas? Yes. 291 00:30:58.940 --> 00:31:00.400 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): baseball rings. 292 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.570 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's pretty… yes, . 293 00:31:03.570 --> 00:31:17.780 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, so Waste Warriors is a model right now that, several other cities have done, so Santa Cruz and Burbank, Chula Vista, and we've been talking with a lot of them and getting examples of 294 00:31:18.180 --> 00:31:26.900 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): what that looks like for other jurisdictions. We have roughed it out to… it's a low-cost activity. 295 00:31:27.070 --> 00:31:34.870 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I would say definitely under $1,000, and it's mostly to do marketing and print materials for people who would attend. 296 00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:51.749 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Our idea with it is that it would be about a 6- or 8-week course, that we could have a pilot year of, like, 20 people come and learn about recycling and diversion. It wouldn't get into the nitty-gritty of composting, it would be more like 297 00:31:51.750 --> 00:32:01.449 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Where does our waste go? Bring in your items, learn if they're recycling, field trips to SMART or to Green Waste to understand how things are sorted on the back end. 298 00:32:01.450 --> 00:32:07.709 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that type of knowledge that's not regularly accessible to the public. So, I personally think that. 299 00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:19.310 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Block leaders are the best people for this job, right? So, I really, really strongly propose that we should work with the block leader program. 300 00:32:19.410 --> 00:32:30.210 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because block leaders, if you, have, like, say… so they, they divide the city in 5-6 areas. So you can have one area of block leaders come in. 301 00:32:30.210 --> 00:32:43.949 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): and do this, run this program through them. It's like the way we used to do in school, we had art dosets, right? So, for each classroom, we have one person who we used to teach, and that person will go back and teach in the class. 302 00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:58.770 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, similar, similar thing where we have block leaders who we can educate, and they can go back and educate their community. And, like, I, being a blog leader, I know every person on my blog, and they actually… 303 00:32:59.120 --> 00:33:13.299 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): listen to me, I'm not saying listen to me, but they appreciate the knowledge that I… because Citi sends me information, I… I send them information, and they actually like to discuss about it, and like to talk about it, so… 304 00:33:13.300 --> 00:33:20.039 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a little bit of confidence level from them, right? Like, because I am a block leader. 305 00:33:20.140 --> 00:33:27.999 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, that is a given in that case. So, it will be, like, the information is coming from a good source. 306 00:33:28.295 --> 00:33:34.635 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, hold that thought, because we're in discussion. Can we just make sure that Commissioner Young doesn't have any questions? 307 00:33:35.655 --> 00:33:37.794 Quinlan Conf Room: Mr. Yang, do you have any questions? 308 00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:42.199 Conny Yang: I have no questions. 309 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:49.020 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, all right, let's just move on to public comment. So, Commissioner Young, is there anyone there to make public comment? 310 00:33:49.910 --> 00:33:55.940 Conny Yang: Do I need to say it publicly? 311 00:33:55.940 --> 00:33:57.389 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): If he does, yeah. 312 00:33:58.710 --> 00:34:01.399 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No one wants to make public comment. 313 00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:05.949 Conny Yang: Okay, I don't think anyone needs… any public comments? No. 314 00:34:09.020 --> 00:34:11.010 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): If they realize it is. 315 00:34:11.010 --> 00:34:14.519 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): You never know, 400 miles away, you never know. Okay, sorry! 316 00:34:14.965 --> 00:34:16.295 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is she, is she in the chat? 317 00:34:16.300 --> 00:34:17.750 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): You're good. 318 00:34:17.755 --> 00:34:20.255 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. 319 00:34:21.080 --> 00:34:25.369 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Corey, is there any public… there's no public… do you guys want to say anything? On this item? 320 00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:28.979 Quinlan Conf Room: No. On this list? Yeah. Yeah. 321 00:34:29.969 --> 00:34:32.559 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, okay. Alright. 322 00:34:32.565 --> 00:34:41.835 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Now we can discuss, so we heard what you said. Yeah. Commissioner Carter, do you have any comments, discussion? Can we just open it up to everybody all at once? 323 00:34:42.304 --> 00:34:45.544 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): You get to call on one commissioner. Okay, I'm doing great. 324 00:34:46.150 --> 00:34:48.420 Quinlan Conf Room: card. I… 325 00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:54.179 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm still wrestling with this whole thing, because I have gone the greenways, 326 00:34:54.540 --> 00:34:57.909 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Which is fully awful. And, 327 00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:05.579 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And a few other… and, and, tran… transfer station in Sunnyvale. 328 00:35:06.240 --> 00:35:07.210 Quinlan Conf Room: And… 329 00:35:07.650 --> 00:35:12.420 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): My struggle is, we keep trying to solve the problem at the end. 330 00:35:13.310 --> 00:35:17.610 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): When the problem needs to be solved further up. Yep. And, 331 00:35:17.770 --> 00:35:19.670 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, even if it was just… 332 00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:23.930 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Color coding on the, on the thing, saying, this could go into that. 333 00:35:25.130 --> 00:35:30.769 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, it's really frustrating because you can do really well and spoil your whole 334 00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:35.229 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Recycling or things by putting in the wrong thing. 335 00:35:35.630 --> 00:35:38.040 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And… That's… 336 00:35:38.180 --> 00:35:50.040 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): my struggle with it, that doesn't mean I won't do it, that doesn't mean I won't be enthusiastically doing it, but it's my struggle is, I think, we're doing things backwards. 337 00:35:50.045 --> 00:35:51.315 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Go to the school and see how bad. 338 00:35:51.315 --> 00:35:52.815 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like. 339 00:35:52.815 --> 00:35:58.434 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I am… I want to talk exactly my thought, my… exactly what I'm thinking. 340 00:35:58.515 --> 00:36:12.955 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because a lot of people have, as… and I must have repeated this, like, in every meeting, I don't know. But, like, so many people that I meet with, they're very conscious, and nowadays, when there is a party, people try to buy compostable stuff. 341 00:36:13.115 --> 00:36:19.644 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But then, they are industrial-grade compost, so they actually do compost, they put it in our compost. 342 00:36:19.945 --> 00:36:25.975 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): As I say, phase giving those green bags which are compostable, which are not compostable in our compost. 343 00:36:26.305 --> 00:36:42.435 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But then, I also was putting them in our compost, thinking that they are composed of them. We need to go and talk to Safeway and them, right? So, these are the things that we need to kind of talk about, see what people are thinking, and then kind of advise them. 344 00:36:42.795 --> 00:36:44.325 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, okay. 345 00:36:44.325 --> 00:36:50.965 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): that can happen at a meeting, I mean, at a tabling, where you have an enthusiastic Jack. 346 00:36:51.325 --> 00:36:56.235 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we'll also be finding out what are their issues. Okay. Right? 347 00:36:56.235 --> 00:36:57.014 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Does that make sense? 348 00:36:57.015 --> 00:37:09.734 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): What I just heard is that you don't want to host an additional activity or an event, that it makes more sense just to talk to the people at tables, or at block leaders. I didn't see that. 349 00:37:09.735 --> 00:37:10.495 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. 350 00:37:12.015 --> 00:37:24.914 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): She might say that, but I would also… I mean, I think it… we've talked about this at the compost, having to art… some of our, tabling, is to having three 351 00:37:25.535 --> 00:37:28.195 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Boxes with the different colors. 352 00:37:28.725 --> 00:37:33.395 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then we'll start having it, and having stuff out there. 353 00:37:33.505 --> 00:37:35.085 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And asking people. 354 00:37:36.050 --> 00:37:36.980 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Where does it go? 355 00:37:37.260 --> 00:37:40.250 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, you have done that with the table. We actually do. 356 00:37:40.255 --> 00:37:52.324 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then that is a talking point, things like that. And what are the… what are the things that are causing problems that, you know, that you see? Because then people will start thinking about it. 357 00:37:52.505 --> 00:37:55.865 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Once they start thinking about it, then they'll start having ideas. 358 00:37:56.560 --> 00:38:01.259 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): My problem is that when you do it at tangling, like when we're at these events. 359 00:38:01.380 --> 00:38:18.569 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I get tired of saying the same thing about 800 times, and I would prefer a classroom, because you get to say it once, and maybe that's my bias, but when you, when you said that you wanted to take cohorts of people. 360 00:38:18.570 --> 00:38:22.389 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, we have a former mayor that runs a class out of Tianza. 361 00:38:22.390 --> 00:38:38.909 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And he does it in leadership, and so this would be really cool. It would be, like, environmental waste warriors, or environmental warriors, and it would be really great, and you could do, like, a two-unit class, and you could take the money and generate some income for our commission. 362 00:38:40.080 --> 00:38:44.230 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we can do other fun things, just kidding. 363 00:38:44.390 --> 00:38:47.869 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't know, I just seem… feel like you could… you could run a class. 364 00:38:48.040 --> 00:38:50.279 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, yeah. 365 00:38:50.475 --> 00:38:54.974 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So how would the commission be involved in something like that, I guess, is my question. I don't… I don't. 366 00:38:54.975 --> 00:38:59.515 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): But I'm just… all that stuff that you were talking about with the cohort. 367 00:38:59.575 --> 00:39:16.135 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): That would be a wonderful class to open up to the community. And then you could get not just the block leaders, but you could get a huge diversity in age group, and background, and ethnicity. I just feel like it would open it up, especially if there was college credit. 368 00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:25.190 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Of course, and then, again, I also say that AP Environmental Science is there in all our high schools. Yeah, but they're not there. 369 00:39:25.195 --> 00:39:26.684 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): But then on to James. 370 00:39:26.875 --> 00:39:28.024 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): no, they… 371 00:39:28.025 --> 00:39:30.894 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): My daughter? Yeah, yeah, your daughter's not on. 372 00:39:30.895 --> 00:39:34.155 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, many of them want to take AP Physics, and… 373 00:39:34.635 --> 00:39:41.434 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But there are, like, at least 20 kids in that class right now, but there is… that is the one you can do, actually more. 374 00:39:41.695 --> 00:39:53.804 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): do some credit, ask the kids to do whatever. But the problem with the school thing is the teachers are busy, and they are kind of… it's very hard to put something in. 375 00:39:54.275 --> 00:39:55.755 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): The school syllabus. 376 00:39:57.200 --> 00:40:00.790 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I can send you a slew of kits, but… Okay. 377 00:40:01.290 --> 00:40:04.800 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commission Fong, do you have any discussion? 378 00:40:05.185 --> 00:40:13.744 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I really do like the idea of the Waste Warriors, although… because I am also a staff for another city, I understand the… 379 00:40:14.055 --> 00:40:21.565 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): trivial challenges of the Commission's involvement in doing a program like that. 380 00:40:21.685 --> 00:40:33.264 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm always very cognizant of budget, and since we have no budget, or we have to go to Council for approval, it seems like it may be easier to supplement with any outreach campaign. 381 00:40:33.345 --> 00:40:52.945 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Personally, when I move at events, on behalf of the Commission or myself, like, even for Earth Days, there's a lot of materials that are generated and it just ends up in the trash. Even the spoons and utensils, the metal ones that we pass out, they come with plastic bags, and those end up in the trash anyways. 382 00:40:53.035 --> 00:40:56.265 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I feel like some type of… 383 00:40:56.295 --> 00:41:15.855 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): digital outreach campaign, yeah, targeted, multilingual, culturally appropriate, geographically diverse. Something along the lines of that, may be helpful, and it could be an outreach campaign about, like, a Waste Warrior program that we can supplement staff's, 384 00:41:15.865 --> 00:41:31.925 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, time, and the staff, it seems like, if we go with the Waste Warrior program, the staff will be the ones who are running it, maybe our… and then… and then our involvement would simply be outreach, or maybe just attending to support or telling people about… 385 00:41:31.930 --> 00:41:35.499 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Also, like, we're doing with the Master Composting Teaching Program. 386 00:41:36.210 --> 00:41:38.080 Quinlan Conf Room: They pulled me in to do it. 387 00:41:38.080 --> 00:41:46.490 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, the poor students, of doing a section, you know, one night. I mean, and so basically, that's not a major… 388 00:41:46.690 --> 00:41:50.890 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): One… Particular session is not a major commitment. 389 00:41:51.140 --> 00:41:55.420 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): If I had to do the whole thing, it would be a matriculum. But I'm saying, like, you know. 390 00:41:55.980 --> 00:42:03.890 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): That was a great point. I think all five of us on the Commission would be happy to give one or two presentations, but that's actually a point of clarification for staff. 391 00:42:04.070 --> 00:42:15.959 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): If we were to do some type of class, would the commissioners be allowed to provide a presentation or an educational session? No, it's not, because I had asked that question. 392 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:19.969 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, you did? I love that. Last time? Well… 393 00:42:20.650 --> 00:42:34.619 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So to clarify… correct me if I'm wrong, but what you had asked last time was, like, can you present at a block leader meeting, right? So, no, I don't think that we could have you all as, like, the main people who go and spread the… like, teach the class. 394 00:42:34.620 --> 00:42:40.880 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because if you don't know the curriculum right off your hand of exactly what's recyclable, if you haven't read our whole 395 00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:43.490 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): 300-page franchise agreement. That's… 396 00:42:43.635 --> 00:42:51.405 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): the requirement of a section. It's not the whole 300-page thing, it's chapter 2 and 4. Right. And basically. 397 00:42:51.865 --> 00:42:54.635 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): If I have to go give a presentation. 398 00:42:55.065 --> 00:42:57.544 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): If I haven't done my homework, I'm in trouble. 399 00:42:57.685 --> 00:43:03.824 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, I mean… I mean, it was your work. I mean, if you basically have to do something. 400 00:43:04.155 --> 00:43:11.594 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): you need to prepare for it. So that's not… I'm not talking about we're running it. Yeah. We're talking about we would be guest speakers. 401 00:43:11.595 --> 00:43:28.944 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Cool, and so that's the… the project examples of the other ones, right? So there's, like, an awareness event where the commission really does make the decision on who comes, who presents, how long is it, where is it located, how to do the outreach. Like, they are running, they're making the decisions behind it. 402 00:43:29.275 --> 00:43:32.165 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Waste Warriors! 403 00:43:32.455 --> 00:43:47.735 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Would be definitely more staff-intensive than a commission, but if there was specific chapters that you wanted to address of, like, hey, we want a whole hour talking about single-use plastics, then we can draft the curriculum in partnership with you. 404 00:43:47.815 --> 00:44:03.834 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): My other thoughts on how the Commission could be, incorporated into this is if we have a cohort of 20 people, but 40 applications, you could help decide who is… who gets priority seating in the first year of cohort. 405 00:44:03.835 --> 00:44:11.375 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right, so those types of decisions could be made by you. And then in partnership with staff, if you wanted to attend 406 00:44:11.375 --> 00:44:18.455 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Classes that were led by staff, but if we did, like, breakout groups, that you could facilitate a discussion on the side. 407 00:44:18.555 --> 00:44:21.704 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Type of things, but it would be very much in partnership. 408 00:44:22.015 --> 00:44:24.675 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): For that level of, of project. 409 00:44:25.080 --> 00:44:25.430 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, it's. 410 00:44:25.430 --> 00:44:33.019 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, yeah, another thing is, like, all those… the high school kids, they are interested in volunteering, so anything you can download to them. 411 00:44:33.270 --> 00:44:35.069 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But I'll be like, I don't know. 412 00:44:35.315 --> 00:44:41.204 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that's why I would also like to look at Roher, because they're doing a bunch of outreach stuff, too. 413 00:44:41.205 --> 00:44:43.205 Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): move my chair a little point. That's okay. 414 00:44:44.370 --> 00:44:52.790 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, the, the one people who help us at, Earthly, right? All the organization, there's two redstown. 415 00:44:53.510 --> 00:44:56.909 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Earth Day volunteers come from every direction. 416 00:44:56.915 --> 00:45:15.565 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think, in Monta Vista, at least, I know that there are two or three, sustainability. And nowadays, I have some kids asking me, like, they want to take it as a major, and this is a very good thing, so they are very interested in volunteering costs. 417 00:45:15.935 --> 00:45:24.855 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right? So if you float that idea, they might come and help you in, like, a topic which you want them to research, right? 418 00:45:24.855 --> 00:45:30.174 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They can volunteer on how to fix stuff at a repair cafe. Can I ask. 419 00:45:30.585 --> 00:45:38.414 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Yang, if she has any discussion points, too. Yeah. Commissioner Yang, do you have any discussion points or ideas on these proposals? 420 00:45:39.150 --> 00:45:41.440 Conny Yang: I'm good. Thank you. 421 00:45:42.190 --> 00:45:57.840 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have one more, and then I might have said this again and again. So, I looked at a lot of apps for this purpose, and they don't work well, but the app technology has come out… come, like, a lot now after the AI, right? 422 00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:05.420 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, a lot of things are, like, when you… you take a picture of your plate, and it tells you whether… how many calories are, right? Like that. 423 00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:10.680 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): If… the easiest way is basically people, putting 424 00:46:11.210 --> 00:46:19.980 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): looking at that stuff through the phone, and that stuff telling it whether it goes to recycle or not. But the challenge is that every city is different. 425 00:46:20.850 --> 00:46:27.580 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So is… if there is an easier way to do, like, something like that, that's the best part… that's the best thing ever. 426 00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:31.510 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): For anybody. Like, all these people who have questions. 427 00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:50.439 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, my personal… so Waste 2.5 was actually one of my personal recommendations. The only other one, and maybe a little bit out of reach from our own scope, is that, targeting the multilingual residential complexes through some type of outreach. 428 00:46:50.450 --> 00:46:59.300 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's so much waste that end up in the blue bins, or the compost, and people don't… yeah, I think all of us understand that. 429 00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:07.090 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's just a passion of mine, because I live in a residential complex, and Yeah, it's a mess. 430 00:47:07.095 --> 00:47:08.544 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Going in that direction now. 431 00:47:08.545 --> 00:47:16.374 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, with all those new… with state laws and all these multifamily housing that's popping up. What city do you… city view? 432 00:47:16.505 --> 00:47:22.365 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I live here! Yeah, you dropped me off at my house one time. 433 00:47:22.370 --> 00:47:31.170 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): You're right near the border. But my point is, I went to San Jose, and they do things every… differently. 434 00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:33.420 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And… Great. 435 00:47:33.425 --> 00:47:34.315 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're gonna learn all about that. 436 00:47:34.315 --> 00:47:36.364 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Next. Yeah, so it's… 437 00:47:38.730 --> 00:47:41.680 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): weren't… When we're talking to the public. 438 00:47:41.850 --> 00:47:46.829 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't know, I've been to our outreach teams, and there's often people from different. 439 00:47:47.650 --> 00:47:48.960 Quinlan Conf Room: communities. 440 00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:52.779 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We probably do things different than Los Altos, right? Yeah, we do. 441 00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:54.270 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, no. 442 00:47:54.275 --> 00:47:56.825 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): We don't know who he's domestic. 443 00:47:57.470 --> 00:47:59.760 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. Well, it's… it is… 444 00:48:00.170 --> 00:48:07.899 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And at San Jose just throws everything together, which… then I went to the facility where they try to pull it apart. It's like I'm going… 445 00:48:08.610 --> 00:48:13.100 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have post-processing, too. So, it's… 446 00:48:15.930 --> 00:48:25.980 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Just talking about looking… Having people start to think about what… or do they need that extra plastic bag? 447 00:48:26.120 --> 00:48:30.040 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well… Do they need… do they need, when they buy something… 448 00:48:30.045 --> 00:48:49.084 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like Tori's idea to have a cohort or a class or online, some kind of videos, right, or something, and then stressing single-use plastics are bad, learning how to compost food waste, right? Repairing items, and you know what's really cool that the kids might really buy into is upcycling. 449 00:48:49.735 --> 00:48:53.945 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): That might be kind of fun, is to do some upcycling damage. 15. 450 00:48:54.075 --> 00:49:01.925 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Huh? 15, that's the trailer. Well, or if we, you know, buy nothing, right? 451 00:49:02.810 --> 00:49:05.320 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I like the one the Senior Center has. 452 00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:09.300 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I just said that. 453 00:49:09.305 --> 00:49:12.354 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Last time I suggested that, we were like… 454 00:49:12.715 --> 00:49:21.564 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): The hidden treasures, yeah. Yes, the hidden treasures of people didn't have, and then I was… I had suggested in the last agenda item for the waste. 455 00:49:22.295 --> 00:49:23.894 Quinlan Conf Room: What was the name of it? 456 00:49:24.405 --> 00:49:28.085 Quinlan Conf Room: my East Coast friend has, in the city, they have that. 457 00:49:28.475 --> 00:49:32.415 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): based, whatever, everybody brings together, and then, you know. 458 00:49:32.580 --> 00:49:40.020 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): If we had a buy nothing group, what's another one? It would be nice, because then you don't… it's basically the swap, right? 459 00:49:40.150 --> 00:49:42.339 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's like this online spot meet. 460 00:49:42.890 --> 00:49:46.580 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So then you don't have to worry about people swapping their stuff and leaving it? 461 00:49:48.120 --> 00:49:49.390 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right. Yeah? 462 00:49:49.620 --> 00:50:04.870 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are you proposing the Commission lead a new Buy Nothing group on Facebook? Alright, so I'm trying to hone the conversation back into one of these options, and then you can kind of go from there. Well, I don't think we need to duplicate. 463 00:50:04.870 --> 00:50:08.420 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's a problem. Do we need to duplicate with them? 464 00:50:08.650 --> 00:50:11.689 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean… What's already out there. 465 00:50:13.490 --> 00:50:16.219 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): For events, or for campaigns? 466 00:50:16.225 --> 00:50:19.234 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're just talking about, you have a new bike, you know. 467 00:50:20.005 --> 00:50:22.944 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Buy Nothing group? But there are… 468 00:50:23.205 --> 00:50:28.945 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Local webpages that, media that for doing that. 469 00:50:28.945 --> 00:50:40.734 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): This group could create a subcommittee today and find those resources and make social media or some sort of marketing to tell people about the resources. 470 00:50:41.035 --> 00:50:56.685 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's an option, right? You can say, as a subcommittee, you can say, hey, I think the number one most confusing item is a boba cup, and we have to do a whole campaign around how to take apart your boba cup and sort it. 471 00:50:56.685 --> 00:51:07.774 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right, so you as a subcommittee would identify what you think would be most appropriate for that campaign of how to reduce consumption, and it could be, what's your favorite thrift store locally? 472 00:51:07.775 --> 00:51:17.214 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or where do you buy used things? And it would be all informational about that. But, so that's, like, the topic is… is to be discussed in the cohort. 473 00:51:17.265 --> 00:51:27.074 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right now, we just kind of need to figure out if we are going to lean towards a campaign and doing something now, or to try to put together a written proposal. 474 00:51:27.245 --> 00:51:30.665 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): For a bigger event that you guys want to host? 475 00:51:31.475 --> 00:51:35.805 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so, let's start with those two options. Are we leaning one way or another? 476 00:51:36.820 --> 00:51:47.090 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright, sure, can I just make a motion? Sure. It sounds like there's an interest to re-evaluate at least the Waste Warriors. It seems like three of us. 477 00:51:47.260 --> 00:51:59.869 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): have expressed some form of an interest. So I'm just going to take a stab at this. I would like to make a motion to form a subcommittee within this commission to evaluate the possibility of launching 478 00:51:59.990 --> 00:52:02.209 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Ways for your program. 479 00:52:02.370 --> 00:52:03.579 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, do we… 480 00:52:03.580 --> 00:52:05.999 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): And to have 2 or 3 is okay. 481 00:52:07.370 --> 00:52:12.349 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): You can second the motion, and then it will go to a vote, and 3 is passing. 482 00:52:12.570 --> 00:52:13.500 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm sorry. 483 00:52:13.500 --> 00:52:18.270 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, I think it's an item specifically on the agenda. Oh. 484 00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:24.680 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sorry. Thank you. No, I mean, in the subcommittee, can there be three commissioners, or only? Two. 485 00:52:24.980 --> 00:52:26.810 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, because 3's corn. 486 00:52:27.510 --> 00:52:29.240 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I can second it. 487 00:52:30.870 --> 00:52:33.730 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I can second the motion. Okay, discussion? 488 00:52:34.520 --> 00:52:42.520 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): And sorry, question for staff. Can there be multiple subcommittee, requests from today, or are we just looking at one subcommittee? I was just corrected. 489 00:52:42.525 --> 00:52:43.265 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): That we can't actually. 490 00:52:43.270 --> 00:52:47.800 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): form a subcommittee for starting today. For next time. 491 00:52:47.805 --> 00:52:48.725 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. 492 00:52:48.725 --> 00:52:50.244 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is it a formal session? Yeah. 493 00:52:50.405 --> 00:52:54.554 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That is after 3. But no, you can form multiple subcommittees at once. 494 00:52:54.785 --> 00:52:55.555 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So again… 495 00:52:55.560 --> 00:53:13.750 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I personally like doing a website or something. I like linking pages and putting links, and so people can use it on their own. Like, would you like to learn why, you know, first, little lessons about sustainability? I mean, we can find all this stuff online, it's already created. 496 00:53:13.980 --> 00:53:17.350 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, and then we could link in upcycling ideas. 497 00:53:17.520 --> 00:53:18.480 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): No. 498 00:53:18.590 --> 00:53:27.970 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): how to trigger that in genes, that kind of stuff. I don't know, I feel like there's a lot of stuff that's available already. Again, why reinvent? 499 00:53:28.830 --> 00:53:29.719 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): the wheel. 500 00:53:29.980 --> 00:53:32.530 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So here is my thing, right? So… 501 00:53:33.020 --> 00:53:38.310 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): as a person, I have a job, I have two kids, right? So… 502 00:53:38.590 --> 00:53:45.039 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Even if I want to do it, it's very… it's an effort for me to go on a website and take a look at it. 503 00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:51.300 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I'll say, okay, I will do it. But then it doesn't happen today. Kind of goes on the back door. 504 00:53:51.650 --> 00:53:59.289 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I personally would like something which is on the phone, and if I want to have an answer, it's there. 505 00:54:00.030 --> 00:54:07.689 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, that is… that is what I feel, and probably generation after me, and like that, your generation as well. 506 00:54:08.200 --> 00:54:10.070 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I look at websites on my phone. 507 00:54:10.075 --> 00:54:10.825 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): All of a sudden. 508 00:54:10.825 --> 00:54:25.845 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. I mean, I would second the chair's motion on the basis that we're just forming a subcommittee to evaluate it. I think it doesn't hurt to explore to see what that looks like. Website, yeah. Website, phone, whatever form of portal, platform that it can be. 509 00:54:25.845 --> 00:54:26.575 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): But sometimes. 510 00:54:26.580 --> 00:54:28.080 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): how we're going to do this. 511 00:54:28.085 --> 00:54:30.754 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Put it on the agenda next time to discuss. 512 00:54:30.875 --> 00:54:35.445 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Forming a subcommittee to evaluate. 513 00:54:36.080 --> 00:54:37.170 Quinlan Conf Room: venues. 514 00:54:38.160 --> 00:54:40.690 Quinlan Conf Room: For starting waste floors. 515 00:54:42.390 --> 00:54:47.570 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or something like that, they programmed to… That was, like, my initial motion, I think. No, no, but we had. 516 00:54:47.575 --> 00:54:49.175 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): But we have to agendas it. 517 00:54:49.775 --> 00:54:50.385 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. 518 00:54:50.390 --> 00:54:56.080 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): So for staff, do we have to vote on anything, or are we just providing feedback for staff to agendize for the next time? 519 00:54:56.780 --> 00:55:05.660 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that one. We are providing… because the agenda item today was discuss the feasibility of it. Okay. So, we're saying, yes, it's feasible. 520 00:55:06.450 --> 00:55:11.069 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That way, you guys all have the time and capacity to take on a project 521 00:55:11.280 --> 00:55:19.200 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And you can say, I would rather do a campaign, or I'd rather do an event, and next time we're going to form a subcommittee to try to. 522 00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:21.100 Quinlan Conf Room: Do an event. 523 00:55:21.350 --> 00:55:22.030 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'd rather… 524 00:55:22.030 --> 00:55:32.810 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): an event. Like, just an event. Like, I'd rather support the city existing events, you know? I mean, I'm not… I don't know if we really want to make more events. 525 00:55:33.080 --> 00:55:37.220 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are we not… covering it with Earth Day, and like… 526 00:55:37.225 --> 00:55:38.714 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Haven't seen those events. 527 00:55:38.945 --> 00:55:42.465 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): There are not 100% Cooper Tingo people, right? 528 00:55:42.465 --> 00:55:45.235 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, we can't… Yeah, I mean. 529 00:55:45.235 --> 00:55:52.235 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think we need to make… I don't know, but we are putting effort in, we need to make more focused effort also. 530 00:55:52.515 --> 00:55:57.544 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm happy to do… I like to do the tabling, I like to meet people and talk. 531 00:55:58.160 --> 00:56:00.090 Quinlan Conf Room: So, I, I like it a lot. 532 00:56:00.810 --> 00:56:04.889 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But what is the ROI on that? We need to look at economics. 533 00:56:05.480 --> 00:56:22.339 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, I mean, if… so this is just from my personal lens here. So, there seems to be two discussions. We talked about possible subcommittee to evaluate the wastewater. Then we also talked about a possible subcommittee to evaluate the portal or webpage. If… 534 00:56:22.345 --> 00:56:36.765 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, I think just a subcommittee to look at the feasibility of doing something, what would be the most feasible? Because you're talking time commitments. How much time do you have? Do you have 20 hours a week to put in to do this extra stuff? That's… 535 00:56:36.975 --> 00:56:47.064 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, what… how much time would it be? What would the commitment be? What would be the frequency? Because anything that we do is going to take the commitment of your personal time, all of us. 536 00:56:47.475 --> 00:57:01.564 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): But we could simply have a quick conversation right now about, like, how much time or how much interest in general, because, I mean, I don't mind putting in, like, an hour a week, for example. That's fine. Yeah, me too. I am fine. 537 00:57:03.025 --> 00:57:18.244 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I have a feeling that we're not going to hash out a work plan, since a subcommittee needs to be formed in consultation and partnership with staff. Staff provided input, too, so it's not just a commission doing everything. We meet every 3 months. 538 00:57:18.415 --> 00:57:21.744 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, the subcommittee can probably meet, like, more often. 539 00:57:21.745 --> 00:57:33.924 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, subcommittee can be on often, but by the time we decide, next time we are going to discuss, and then it's going to be 6 months done, then we will start working on it, so that's the part. 540 00:57:35.910 --> 00:57:40.440 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I will… I… I think the idea of Wave Warriors is… 541 00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:44.879 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There is a chance that staff are going to run it this year anyway. 542 00:57:45.560 --> 00:57:51.429 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have to get approval still, and we were supposed to get a yes or no this week, but we don't know yet. 543 00:57:51.800 --> 00:58:00.980 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But then, have you decided on how you're going to run the program also? Not in detail, no. Right, so we can actually have a discussion about that. 544 00:58:01.660 --> 00:58:04.780 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So can we… can we put it on the agenda to maybe form a. 545 00:58:04.780 --> 00:58:06.909 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Absolutely, that… to help. 546 00:58:07.750 --> 00:58:13.459 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): or help with, lend a hand with whatever staff does, if they decide. I mean, how do we do this? 547 00:58:13.465 --> 00:58:26.625 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so add an item to the next meeting's agenda to form a subcommittee to coordinate… okay, so you can either coordinate a proposal for Council to consider, or you can form a subcommittee to… 548 00:58:28.925 --> 00:58:29.584 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): 8 in the. 549 00:58:29.590 --> 00:58:32.900 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): design and implementation of wasteful lives? 550 00:58:33.710 --> 00:58:35.450 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): If it's approved. 551 00:58:36.860 --> 00:58:38.999 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Cher, if we're talking about a. 552 00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:46.520 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): future agenda item. We can talk about it during the future agenda item section of the agenda. Okay. Okay. All right. 553 00:58:46.525 --> 00:58:52.195 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm trying to close this one. I knew this was gonna be bad. Okay, all right, so, 554 00:58:52.435 --> 00:59:00.574 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I would say we don't have anything to make a motion on at this point. Correct, yeah. Commissioner Yang, I didn't call on you. Do you have any discussion points? 555 00:59:01.190 --> 00:59:03.480 Conny Yang: No discussion points. 556 00:59:03.480 --> 00:59:06.219 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you have any members of the public there that have a discussion? 557 00:59:06.225 --> 00:59:08.895 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm putting… I'm putting any questions. 558 00:59:08.900 --> 00:59:10.490 Conny Yang: Comments? Additional? Nope, nope. 559 00:59:10.490 --> 00:59:13.400 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): I know, okay. 560 00:59:13.405 --> 00:59:16.244 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can we move on, then, to Ida Pre? Yeah. 561 00:59:17.070 --> 00:59:22.540 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Repeat a presentation comparing regional… regional jurisdiction recycling operation. 562 00:59:22.620 --> 00:59:24.150 Conny Yang: Peace. 563 00:59:24.150 --> 00:59:25.020 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): You're talking. 564 00:59:27.670 --> 00:59:31.830 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you, everybody. 565 00:59:32.540 --> 00:59:40.140 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): All right, first slide is stuff that we probably already know, but just, like, to remind people that we have 566 00:59:40.300 --> 00:59:47.619 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): The, how it works in Cupertino is a franchise agreement with Rickology to collect all the streams, and then they go up. 567 00:59:47.740 --> 00:59:57.809 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): places, retology handles our organics, Green Waste handles our recycling, and currently landfill goes directly to New Yet. 568 01:00:01.260 --> 01:00:10.250 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Next slide. Okay, so that's pretty much what I just talked about. So our next slide is just sort of a, 569 01:00:10.740 --> 01:00:14.199 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): a visual on that, but I guess that? 570 01:00:14.310 --> 01:00:15.910 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Where the stuff is going. 571 01:00:16.710 --> 01:00:19.210 Quinlan Conf Room: And you can see. 572 01:00:19.490 --> 01:00:34.629 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): for the green compost, it's going, it's getting sorted, and I'll have some idea that some is still going to… residuals are still going to be wedged off. We printed it out, too. Oh, very nice. 573 01:00:35.980 --> 01:00:39.369 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So I passed. Okay, next. 574 01:00:39.860 --> 01:00:42.400 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sure. Would you have? 575 01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:52.699 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): You would like the color version of where things go. Very excited, sorry. I knew this. 576 01:00:53.240 --> 01:00:54.440 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Anyone else. 577 01:00:54.960 --> 01:00:58.210 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, there's two more, yeah. What color one? Yeah. 578 01:00:59.920 --> 01:01:03.900 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that's just where our… okay, we don't have that. 579 01:01:05.180 --> 01:01:06.589 Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you for creation. 580 01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:14.039 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, but to your question… How are other jurisdictions doing it? I… 581 01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:34.220 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): as we all know, all the jurisdictions are doing all kinds of different stuff, so I tried to sort of synthesize it into something that kind of made sense. So, basically, jurisdictions in this… in the Bay Area, are sorting material into 3, 4, or 5 streams, and then different stuff is happening with those from there. With the three streams. 582 01:01:34.390 --> 01:01:37.500 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): You might have yard waste and food waste together. 583 01:01:37.710 --> 01:01:45.089 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): You might have garbage that's been placed together, you might or might not be sending it off to be processed, the garbage. 584 01:01:45.870 --> 01:01:48.240 Quinlan Conf Room: 4 streams… 585 01:01:49.230 --> 01:01:59.600 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): The only jurisdiction that has that does sort the garbage, and 5 streams, one jurisdiction does, other jurisdiction doesn't. So, we'll move on. 586 01:01:59.600 --> 01:02:03.509 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): What do you mean by a stream? I mean, this is what am I confusing. A stream is. 587 01:02:03.515 --> 01:02:04.794 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is basically a cart. 588 01:02:05.500 --> 01:02:08.450 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, organics, recycling, or garbage. 589 01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:09.929 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, if it has… 590 01:02:10.150 --> 01:02:14.139 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): 5 streams, there's 5 different types of things. 591 01:02:14.145 --> 01:02:15.565 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, yeah. We will see. 592 01:02:17.550 --> 01:02:35.519 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's go to the next one. Okay, so 3 streams. Organics, mixed recyclables, and garbage. So, right now, Cupertino, we put our yard waste and our food scraps together in the green bin, and we do not do any sorting of our garbage. I want to add to. 593 01:02:35.525 --> 01:02:38.565 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): debt. Also, your soiled paper. 594 01:02:39.290 --> 01:02:41.779 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes, food soil paper also goes in it, yeah. 595 01:02:44.620 --> 01:02:45.750 Quinlan Conf Room: And then… 596 01:02:45.750 --> 01:02:55.149 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): to us in the future, Palo Alto and San Jose, they sort the same way, but they do send their garbage 597 01:02:56.860 --> 01:03:01.540 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, Cupertino will be going to Smart, Palo Alto and San Jose already use the green one. 598 01:03:02.110 --> 01:03:03.959 Quinlan Conf Room: And we are gonna do that now, right? 599 01:03:05.040 --> 01:03:07.770 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I want to send them a garbage for them. When… 600 01:03:08.075 --> 01:03:12.024 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): when SMART is ready for us, probably early next year. 601 01:03:12.295 --> 01:03:15.855 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Try to write down your questions, and we'll get there. Okay. Thank you. 602 01:03:16.075 --> 01:03:25.294 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then Santa Clara puts their garbage and food scraps together, and then sends it off to the green waste MRF to get the organics pulled back out again. 603 01:03:26.015 --> 01:03:27.205 Quinlan Conf Room: So… 604 01:03:27.725 --> 01:03:29.995 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Just to confuse everybody, right? 605 01:03:30.845 --> 01:03:39.644 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): All right, so, four streams, that's Mountain View. So, they separate their containers from their paper. 606 01:03:39.745 --> 01:03:48.264 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So instead of putting everything recyclable into one container, they… to one cart, they keep them separate with a divided cart. 607 01:03:48.355 --> 01:04:00.414 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): The reason they do that is to keep the paper dry and clean, because as you know, containers can have water and food and debris and everything else on them, so they get a better rate for 608 01:04:00.985 --> 01:04:04.904 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): The paper, if they keep it clean. They're recycled. 609 01:04:05.260 --> 01:04:10.880 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): form a bead in one of those, and that is really cool. Jack, write it down. 610 01:04:10.885 --> 01:04:12.505 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No. 611 01:04:12.510 --> 01:04:13.350 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. 612 01:04:13.640 --> 01:04:14.410 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): And… 613 01:04:14.415 --> 01:04:17.144 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Mountain View sends their recycling to SMART. 614 01:04:18.265 --> 01:04:21.784 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And their garbage gets sorted at SMART. Okay, 5 streams. 615 01:04:22.685 --> 01:04:28.775 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So we have… Sunnyvale does the five times. 616 01:04:29.105 --> 01:04:35.094 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, so they do garbage, food scraps, paper, containers, yard waste. 617 01:04:35.325 --> 01:04:39.364 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): They actually have to do their food soil paper in the garbage. 618 01:04:39.535 --> 01:04:47.154 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): But, because they are processing the garbage, a lot of that food soil paper gets pulled out as organics and sent off. 619 01:04:47.965 --> 01:04:49.904 Quinlan Conf Room: To get some recovery on it. 620 01:04:49.935 --> 01:04:52.775 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Milpetus also has a 5-stream. 621 01:04:53.265 --> 01:04:54.755 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And they keep… 622 01:04:55.025 --> 01:05:06.005 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): their paper and containers separate. They have a yard waste bin, and they do food scraps and garbage, but they do not process their garbage. They're thinking about it. 623 01:05:06.640 --> 01:05:07.900 Quinlan Conf Room: They don't yet. 624 01:05:09.170 --> 01:05:16.319 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Boot scraps go off for… Animal feed input and or digestion to help. 625 01:05:16.720 --> 01:05:19.550 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Run maybe a water treatment plant. 626 01:05:19.640 --> 01:05:21.940 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, next slide. 627 01:05:22.020 --> 01:05:29.769 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, some notable recycling differences. I know this is always of interest. Who does what? Okay, Palo Alto… 628 01:05:29.800 --> 01:05:48.129 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): accepts e-waste in the blue card, which just makes all of us fringe at horror, but somehow it seems to be working for them. They allow bioplastics in their green card, and aseptic cartons, like those soy milk cartons, they say are landfill. So, 629 01:05:48.230 --> 01:05:50.230 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Telehealth doesn't accept those. 630 01:05:50.930 --> 01:05:56.679 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or recycling. Mountain View has a separate program to take textiles bagged at the curb. 631 01:05:56.910 --> 01:06:02.899 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): They consider aseptics are recyclable and say no to bioplastics and compost. 632 01:06:03.050 --> 01:06:08.060 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then Sunnyvale, I always say, is the most super extra recycling… 633 01:06:08.310 --> 01:06:19.450 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Of them all, so no clamshells, no hinge containers, no black plastic, no hot or cold cups, no film plastic, no hard plastic toys or buckets. Same on garbage. 634 01:06:19.940 --> 01:06:28.290 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So they… they just keep all that stuff out, because they… they want to market the highly marketable stuff, and… 635 01:06:28.560 --> 01:06:30.440 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Not the less marketable stuff. 636 01:06:32.980 --> 01:06:34.949 Quinlan Conf Room: Cupertino, on the other hand. 637 01:06:35.460 --> 01:06:37.650 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Now, Recology and Greenway say. 638 01:06:38.600 --> 01:06:39.860 Quinlan Conf Room: Plastics. 639 01:06:39.860 --> 01:06:50.049 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): 1 through 7. Buckets, black plastic, hot plastic, you know, whatever, planting, whatever, film plastic, bag it and put it in there. 640 01:06:50.700 --> 01:06:52.169 Quinlan Conf Room: They will take it all. 641 01:06:52.650 --> 01:06:59.539 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And the Greenways folks maintain that they do usually have markets for all the materials they accept. 642 01:07:00.180 --> 01:07:08.780 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): They don't claim they necessarily have 100% of markets 100% of the time, but they accept it all so that when they do have a market, they can look along. 643 01:07:09.950 --> 01:07:14.139 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Wait, gotta write your questions down. 644 01:07:14.820 --> 01:07:30.819 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sorry, I got it. Just a quick review of some of the facilities in our area. Obviously, there's the Green Waste MRF in San Jose that processes materials via sorting. They actually do garbage processing and recyclable processing. 645 01:07:31.310 --> 01:07:39.240 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, they were kind of, you know, their competitors are smart in that, in terms of garbage processing. And then the Smart Station. 646 01:07:39.340 --> 01:07:41.920 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): also does both. And then… 647 01:07:42.200 --> 01:07:54.780 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): For recycling only, California Waste Solutions handles a lot of San Jose's residential recycling. They have a MRF, Newby Island also has a materials, recycling materials MRF. 648 01:07:55.640 --> 01:08:01.320 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Next one is one you may have heard of, ZWED. 649 01:08:01.730 --> 01:08:02.920 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So this… 650 01:08:03.310 --> 01:08:13.069 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): is a facility that does anaerobic digestion, basically of all wet garbage material. So they have, for their commercial. 651 01:08:14.000 --> 01:08:19.260 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): They have a wet-dry system, and this was something that was of interest 652 01:08:19.640 --> 01:08:24.099 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I heard about it years ago, San Jose is doing it for their commercial stream. 653 01:08:24.390 --> 01:08:31.419 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then it all goes into these… into these bunkers and is anaerobically digested. 654 01:08:34.040 --> 01:08:38.740 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that's just an interesting side… two side bees there. 655 01:08:39.220 --> 01:08:49.019 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, next one. Okay, so how do our rates compare? We covered this one, we do the rate adjustments every year, but just as a reminder, we're very, 656 01:08:49.250 --> 01:08:52.330 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Very on the low end of rates for the region. 657 01:08:52.830 --> 01:08:57.190 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And all the ones in orange here are ones that process garbage. 658 01:08:57.680 --> 01:09:02.249 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So you can see it's… That doesn't even necessarily… 659 01:09:03.290 --> 01:09:14.060 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): define who's the highest rate, you know, because they have so many other little programs going on. Maybe you have, you know, your textile into the collection, or some other subtlety that makes your rates different. 660 01:09:14.779 --> 01:09:19.880 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So it's really… it's hard to compare sometimes across. And then the next slide… 661 01:09:20.160 --> 01:09:25.670 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): is where we'll be after we start going through SMART. This is where 662 01:09:25.770 --> 01:09:37.139 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): we, you know, this is what we showed Council when they approved that, so it'll bump us up more into the middle. Now, of course, these are all movable, so everyone's adjusting their rates every year, but… 663 01:09:37.250 --> 01:09:38.929 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is where we're in. 664 01:09:40.620 --> 01:09:43.600 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Once we start routing to SMART with our rates. 665 01:09:45.170 --> 01:09:46.550 Quinlan Conf Room: And then next. 666 01:09:46.550 --> 01:09:48.109 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's just… 667 01:09:48.859 --> 01:09:59.480 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's kind of, gives you a snapshot of the surrounding area. You can see why it gets confusing, but I would say, basically, with recyclables. 668 01:09:59.790 --> 01:10:07.460 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, there is a core amount, especially with a lot of the jurisdictions routing through green waste, which is a little more liberal with what they accept. 669 01:10:07.630 --> 01:10:12.470 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Where's… Some continuity with what's accepted? 670 01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:19.410 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Honeyvale and Smart, of course, are more restrictive on their recyclables. 671 01:10:20.510 --> 01:10:26.810 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): As a reminder, when we start routing to SMART, that'll just be garbage, so our recyclable's still going to green waste. 672 01:10:27.110 --> 01:10:29.859 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So we'd anticipate them accepting the same… 673 01:10:30.060 --> 01:10:32.869 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Mass of things, the same types of things. 674 01:10:33.660 --> 01:10:41.520 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): But given all our discussions, you know, we knew we'd be discussing outreach and event possibilities, so I just thought we'd 675 01:10:41.800 --> 01:10:43.289 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Throw this up there. 676 01:10:44.140 --> 01:10:48.710 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): A lot of thoughts on that, and I did print out some copies of 677 01:10:49.040 --> 01:11:02.750 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): the waste sorting guide that I'm sure you all have at home, posted on your refrigerator, but should, you know, since we've just talked about who does what where, and if we want to look at what we already provide, we wanted to 678 01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:08.119 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): basically remind folks that we have a ton of information about how to sort on our webpages. 679 01:11:08.420 --> 01:11:13.080 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): just everything you could want to know. Plus, Rickology has a what bin 680 01:11:13.190 --> 01:11:15.300 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): These should have been mailed to you. 681 01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:18.029 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, okay. Did you get one? 682 01:11:18.320 --> 01:11:22.080 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Did you get a sorting guide in the mail? Not in Cupertino. 683 01:11:22.080 --> 01:11:23.539 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): But it's the same. 684 01:11:23.540 --> 01:11:41.300 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And to Alex's comment, we do have multi- family recycling bags fully available in multiple languages, with this QR code, and we have a little… We'll just add it to very easy. So we try our best, I mean, I… 685 01:11:42.790 --> 01:11:43.780 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I… 686 01:11:44.180 --> 01:11:51.589 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I could have pine more on that, but I'll just say we definitely have a lot of information online about how to do all the things. 687 01:11:52.100 --> 01:11:53.850 Quinlan Conf Room: And even lookup tools. 688 01:11:54.000 --> 01:12:01.460 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And maybe that lookup tool could be made more easily available somehow, but it's pretty good. 689 01:12:01.465 --> 01:12:10.194 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): any discussion between the city… just let me… are you done, then? That's it, yes. Okay. 690 01:12:10.790 --> 01:12:14.040 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Now… Do we have any questions? 691 01:12:14.150 --> 01:12:15.060 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes. 692 01:12:15.700 --> 01:12:23.650 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Ursula, are there any discussion between the cities in order to regionalized this. 693 01:12:23.850 --> 01:12:30.070 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is very… I mean, I know from talking to my… the people I… 694 01:12:30.390 --> 01:12:34.030 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): get workshops, too. This is very… excuse me. 695 01:12:34.790 --> 01:12:47.810 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I would say, no, basically, because everyone has their own individual franchise agreements that are all on completely different timelines, and getting renewed and extended, and everything all the time with their own set of 696 01:12:47.950 --> 01:12:54.309 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): requirements. I think I… I have heard about that. There was a… 697 01:12:55.130 --> 01:12:59.150 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): a county in Southern California that actually did that. They… 698 01:12:59.380 --> 01:13:05.010 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): They wrangled together several jurisdictions and aligned their franchise agreement. 699 01:13:05.710 --> 01:13:06.620 Quinlan Conf Room: It was… 700 01:13:06.680 --> 01:13:08.480 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Quite a heavy lift. 701 01:13:08.580 --> 01:13:10.669 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think a lot of us have a… 702 01:13:11.290 --> 01:13:18.109 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): a dream of that? Like, if only… if only we could all just do it the same way. Talk to some of the supervisors, saying. 703 01:13:18.490 --> 01:13:24.040 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, I think there's still the issue of… Thank you. Each facility… 704 01:13:24.730 --> 01:13:30.179 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, SMART is a separate facility, Greenways is a separate facility, there's independent, I see. 705 01:13:31.070 --> 01:13:35.069 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, operators, but I suppose the cities could decide 706 01:13:35.200 --> 01:13:41.529 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): we're all going to get together and only accept these certain things. It's a dream, but… There should be some. 707 01:13:41.535 --> 01:13:49.514 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): general guidelines somewhere. UC Davis should have a process in what they want to do. Do you know what I mean? I look at them as the environment. 708 01:13:52.190 --> 01:13:55.279 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, it would be a very heavy lift. 709 01:13:55.440 --> 01:13:58.169 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Logistically, bureaucratically. Are those… 710 01:13:58.175 --> 01:14:02.154 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are the slides that you just presented gonna be available to both? Yeah. 711 01:14:02.595 --> 01:14:12.185 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I like to pass my metric on posters, we talked about where the different ones go, and we're… everyone's sort of confused. 712 01:14:12.765 --> 01:14:14.795 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): It'll help us in terms of those… 713 01:14:15.500 --> 01:14:21.409 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): our education. That's true, because you get people from all over the townies. Yes, I have the whole county. 714 01:14:23.010 --> 01:14:26.530 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, Commissioner McCallard, do you have questions? Yes, yes. 715 01:14:26.730 --> 01:14:31.900 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, what do you mean by digested by them? By… does it mean that… distance. 716 01:14:32.220 --> 01:14:33.240 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): What others? 717 01:14:33.245 --> 01:14:39.595 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's, an anaerobic digester, so they're sealing it in a room, and they're providing it enough 718 01:14:39.975 --> 01:14:45.895 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Whatever it needs to… Compost, basically. Composted. 719 01:14:45.895 --> 01:14:52.515 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): They have little bacteria in it. Anaerobically, no oxygen. Yeah. There are no… 720 01:14:53.240 --> 01:15:04.319 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): They're different bacteria based on whether it has oxygen or not. So if it's anaerobic, it's not going to have oxygen. And then they produce the methane, and then they reuse the methane. 721 01:15:04.530 --> 01:15:06.709 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, much of our, 722 01:15:06.710 --> 01:15:11.579 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Much of our gas is comp… biogas that we get in the Carnegot. 723 01:15:12.210 --> 01:15:27.339 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, as I understand it, they're, you know, they're digesting all this commercial food waste, and you can imagine there's plastics and bags and gloves and whatever else in there, and that's all getting spit out at the end, or sorted out at the end. 724 01:15:27.780 --> 01:15:31.369 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Reset to learn. Questionable questions. 725 01:15:32.000 --> 01:15:33.980 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, I have one more. Oh, sorry. 726 01:15:33.985 --> 01:15:37.474 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So why? Palo Alto was so less? 727 01:15:38.190 --> 01:15:40.819 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Although no cost. Well, great. 728 01:15:41.170 --> 01:15:44.089 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's all the subtleties of their franchise agreement. 729 01:15:44.095 --> 01:15:46.584 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): $25 is $20 less, 730 01:15:47.210 --> 01:16:06.140 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): On the sheet, so there was prices for a 32 gallon and then a 20-gallon cart, and so Palo Alto just gives the largest discount if you produce less waste, right? So their rate… they were ranked, and Palo Alto fell in the middle for 32 gallons, but they're just trying to encourage 731 01:16:06.380 --> 01:16:08.550 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Less waste by giving a discount. 732 01:16:08.660 --> 01:16:12.180 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Does that make sense? Commissioner Park? 733 01:16:13.365 --> 01:16:16.425 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): One quick… one quick comment, 734 01:16:16.615 --> 01:16:25.724 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I feel like on the outreach piece, it's always helpful to do digital, campaigns, with no cost. 735 01:16:25.785 --> 01:16:30.325 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I wonder if that's the city's, like, social media accounts, 736 01:16:30.345 --> 01:16:48.965 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think it's just my personal recommendation for cheap and easy outreach to get the word out. Or just partnering with the… Or just partnering with the PIO's office on, coming up with some fun videos. Oh, yeah, okay. 737 01:16:49.035 --> 01:16:51.355 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): All right. Any questions? No? 738 01:16:51.355 --> 01:16:53.675 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, Commissioner Yang, any questions? 739 01:16:55.090 --> 01:16:57.480 Conny Yang: No questions. 740 01:16:58.440 --> 01:17:07.230 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Could we go to public comment? Any public comment? Do you have any comment? Okay. Connie, do you have anybody there, Commissioner Yang, for comment? No. 741 01:17:07.230 --> 01:17:10.900 Conny Yang: Does anyone have any questions? No. 742 01:17:11.660 --> 01:17:12.680 Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, good. 743 01:17:13.890 --> 01:17:19.629 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright, we had our discussion already, right? We've discussed? 744 01:17:19.890 --> 01:17:20.790 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Bye. 745 01:17:21.090 --> 01:17:29.099 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there any motion that anybody wants to make? Okay, let's go on. Thank you very much. Thank you. It was very interesting, actually. 746 01:17:29.310 --> 01:17:34.680 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I would love to go on a tour, I love those things, see if it is. Yeah, they're very great. 747 01:17:34.685 --> 01:17:38.455 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We can go, like, we can go our own expense and go. 748 01:17:38.585 --> 01:17:40.515 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, they do public. 749 01:17:40.515 --> 01:17:43.555 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, but you have to arrange the… the smart. 750 01:17:43.555 --> 01:17:47.344 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's my facility, I want to move that, you know, both facilities offer. 751 01:17:47.505 --> 01:17:48.675 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes. 752 01:17:49.060 --> 01:17:57.350 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So does the sewage tube look like. Okay, let's move on to item 4. If you want to approve the Sustainability Commission work plan? 753 01:17:58.880 --> 01:18:03.380 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): For a list of potential topics for discussion at commission use. 754 01:18:04.050 --> 01:18:09.300 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So there's no presentation for this one, but I will pull up the attachment. 755 01:18:09.910 --> 01:18:10.590 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So… 756 01:18:11.300 --> 01:18:12.669 Quinlan Conf Room: We can work through. 757 01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:19.429 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, starting with questions, does anyone have questions about what we're doing? 758 01:18:19.620 --> 01:18:22.150 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): What the intent of this is? 759 01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:26.079 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I, I cannot remember. 760 01:18:27.090 --> 01:18:37.879 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, Council asked every commission to come up with a work plan, so these will be submitted directly to City Council of what the intention of this commission… what you were working on this year. 761 01:18:38.340 --> 01:18:45.190 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So I put this draft together based off of our two-year work plan that we adopted in July. 762 01:18:45.560 --> 01:19:05.399 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Plus some city work program items that were deemed a priority by Council. And then I did the estimated timeline based off of when we were talking about it, when I thought it would go to our commission meeting. Based off of our four existing commission meetings, those are estimates, so… 763 01:19:06.480 --> 01:19:09.140 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): If, you know, things change, 764 01:19:10.130 --> 01:19:13.859 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): But that's… that's what I had based off of our previous conversations. 765 01:19:15.570 --> 01:19:17.570 Quinlan Conf Room: Any other questions? 766 01:19:17.810 --> 01:19:19.249 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm just looking at them, so… 767 01:19:20.935 --> 01:19:25.085 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): What is item 5? Review the draft building permit streamline. 768 01:19:25.595 --> 01:19:27.805 Quinlan Conf Room: Policy… 769 01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:34.190 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, it's okay. Oh, I read it already, so we can get into it. 770 01:19:44.110 --> 01:19:46.749 Quinlan Conf Room: So, I have a question about the. 771 01:19:47.610 --> 01:19:48.850 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Urban Forest. 772 01:19:49.480 --> 01:19:51.130 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): section. 773 01:19:51.700 --> 01:19:52.290 Quinlan Conf Room: Sweet. 774 01:19:53.670 --> 01:20:00.379 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are there discussions about… Changing… Types of sidewalks we have around them. 775 01:20:02.710 --> 01:20:03.500 Quinlan Conf Room: Yep. 776 01:20:08.080 --> 01:20:13.580 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): what do you call it? Something swells for the water capture. Bioswales? Bioswales. 777 01:20:16.630 --> 01:20:21.179 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we've… we've already discussed what we can't do about the canopy and FiG&E. 778 01:20:21.370 --> 01:20:27.230 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): But there are things to… prevent… There's… 779 01:20:27.680 --> 01:20:36.209 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Technology in terms of sidewalks and stuff, that would make them more permeable and less… and have less upheaval. 780 01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:40.729 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I just wanted to view that for… 781 01:20:41.220 --> 01:20:44.969 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is it gonna be included in the scope of that project? I'm not sure. 782 01:20:44.975 --> 01:20:45.695 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I never read. 783 01:20:45.700 --> 01:20:51.890 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): anything about it here. I've read about it, you know, in other articles about other parts of the world, but… 784 01:20:52.190 --> 01:20:54.739 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Not here in urban. 785 01:20:55.760 --> 01:20:56.790 Quinlan Conf Room: Boris. 786 01:20:56.820 --> 01:20:57.760 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): art. 787 01:20:58.140 --> 01:21:02.769 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a tendency to get dehydrated and over… 788 01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:07.739 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I'm not trying to be funny here, they get too much nitrogen from the dogs. 789 01:21:07.980 --> 01:21:14.240 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And that's part of not getting enough, hydration. 790 01:21:14.360 --> 01:21:28.050 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): From the rain and stuff, and you get percolation issues, and you get the upheavals of the sidewalks and things. And because they're searching for new… for water stuff, then… then they're going down into the sewer level. 791 01:21:28.650 --> 01:21:29.900 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's money. 792 01:21:30.290 --> 01:21:35.840 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And stuff, so I'm just… Curious about that, see this. 793 01:21:37.640 --> 01:21:39.080 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm also… 794 01:21:40.090 --> 01:21:50.629 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't see the light pollution issues, but I do know that I can go down to Home Depot and come back with a bunch of stuff that I have to return because it doesn't fit. 795 01:21:51.240 --> 01:21:56.140 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Cuppuccino's requirements about having Shade over the light. 796 01:21:57.060 --> 01:22:01.009 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So there's no, sort of. 797 01:22:01.860 --> 01:22:03.800 Quinlan Conf Room: I'm not, you know, it's like… 798 01:22:06.270 --> 01:22:12.020 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Light pollution would be outside of the scope of this commission. Okay, see, I… 799 01:22:12.105 --> 01:22:17.444 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): our commission is so wide, so I don't… why is that not… 800 01:22:17.610 --> 01:22:25.249 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because it's not part of the Climate Action Plan or Environmental, general plan environmental changes. Okay, then I will… then I will… 801 01:22:25.940 --> 01:22:27.950 Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): put a lid on that one. I can follow up. 802 01:22:27.955 --> 01:22:29.624 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): If you want me to confirm that. 803 01:22:29.625 --> 01:22:30.215 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): it's… it's. 804 01:22:30.215 --> 01:22:32.885 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's funny, but there's so many things. 805 01:22:33.015 --> 01:22:40.865 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Involved. And then the noise pollution is always an issue, and . 806 01:22:42.195 --> 01:22:45.315 Quinlan Conf Room: And I'm not sure how we're going to deal with that, because… 807 01:22:45.935 --> 01:22:57.764 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): you have to rat on your neighbor, as opposed to targeting the polluters, and the polluters don't care, because you don't have enough money for… I've already gone over this with you, though, but it's… 808 01:22:58.335 --> 01:23:00.954 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's an issue… 809 01:23:02.135 --> 01:23:03.254 Quinlan Conf Room: for health. 810 01:23:03.725 --> 01:23:10.144 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's an issue for electrical generation as a purchase, 811 01:23:10.715 --> 01:23:14.874 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Solar panel will bring it deep below… 812 01:23:15.095 --> 01:23:18.965 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, in our dry months, dust everywhere. 813 01:23:19.345 --> 01:23:23.324 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): It hits a lot of different areas. And… 814 01:23:24.880 --> 01:23:30.119 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): But they're out of the scope, I think, right? Because, I mean, what we're trying to do is look at the current plan. 815 01:23:30.120 --> 01:23:31.409 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So it's out of school. 816 01:23:31.415 --> 01:23:38.164 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think I can't… we can't really generate any plan, but we can look at it, understand it, ask questions. 817 01:23:38.170 --> 01:23:40.699 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, there is a rule. No, there is a law. 818 01:23:40.820 --> 01:23:43.700 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, for the, the book. 819 01:23:43.705 --> 01:23:45.814 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): forests, but just land forests. Yeah. 820 01:23:46.380 --> 01:23:52.319 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. So… I mean, policing that, I think that's a Cupertino 311 thing? 821 01:23:52.825 --> 01:23:57.944 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): No idea what we do, or do we… or do we track down the… the small… 822 01:23:58.815 --> 01:24:02.475 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): surviving by their skin, their teeth. 823 01:24:02.475 --> 01:24:04.995 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's a Sustainability Commission. 824 01:24:04.995 --> 01:24:06.374 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's not normal. Well, it's horrible. 825 01:24:06.380 --> 01:24:07.000 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): per group. 826 01:24:07.000 --> 01:24:08.900 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, what we're doing is we do suggestions. 827 01:24:09.345 --> 01:24:13.365 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): We do, recommendations to the city. 828 01:24:13.370 --> 01:24:14.460 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, do we… 829 01:24:14.940 --> 01:24:21.119 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do we recommend that the city find these people and then… and offer to buy them? 830 01:24:22.110 --> 01:24:23.270 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Different eclipse? 831 01:24:24.670 --> 01:24:25.909 Quinlan Conf Room: Whatever, I don't know. 832 01:24:26.870 --> 01:24:33.750 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, I'm going off… off the track, but those are just, you know, these are everyday things that… 833 01:24:34.360 --> 01:24:38.840 Quinlan Conf Room: are… In my mind, part of it's sustainability. 834 01:24:40.250 --> 01:24:42.430 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I do have a question about the trees. 835 01:24:42.770 --> 01:24:44.410 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're gonna do natives. 836 01:24:44.560 --> 01:24:51.729 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is that what we're gonna do? We're ones that are… like, our natives are changing, but are we gonna do the ones that are… 837 01:24:51.735 --> 01:25:05.105 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That is going to be a large conversation when we discuss the Urban Forest Management Plan. When that item comes to this commission, we will talk about it for a long time. I don't have an answer at this point. Alright, so, but it's on the… 838 01:25:07.180 --> 01:25:10.700 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, you wanted us to look at this, and then what we're looking for? 839 01:25:10.705 --> 01:25:19.184 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): You can approve it as written, or if there's something that, since last July, that you're like, I really want this commission to work on this year. 840 01:25:19.515 --> 01:25:23.615 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That… now's your opportunity to add things, or take things off. 841 01:25:23.965 --> 01:25:26.364 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Since we last approved our 2-year plan. 842 01:25:26.565 --> 01:25:27.615 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Also… 843 01:25:30.185 --> 01:25:32.534 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): City stuff, we did already. 844 01:25:32.635 --> 01:25:35.355 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there more in-depth miracle to me? 845 01:25:35.535 --> 01:25:36.505 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. 846 01:25:39.020 --> 01:25:40.470 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): discuss… 847 01:25:42.420 --> 01:25:45.610 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Neighboring, number 3, neighboring jurisdictions. 848 01:25:46.200 --> 01:25:48.750 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): waste. I can see the… 849 01:25:48.750 --> 01:25:52.610 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): The date on that is today, so it's today's, yeah. Check that off. 850 01:25:52.610 --> 01:26:01.429 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right? Yeah. Well, so this is everything we're doing in 2026, which counts including today, since we only had 4 meetings. So, if we wanted. 851 01:26:01.430 --> 01:26:03.069 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): to add something? 852 01:26:03.070 --> 01:26:04.070 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): on something. 853 01:26:04.300 --> 01:26:05.570 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because the… 854 01:26:06.150 --> 01:26:10.490 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): thing that I thought would be easiest for the city And it's… 855 01:26:10.760 --> 01:26:12.839 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And for us to recommend it. 856 01:26:13.230 --> 01:26:16.849 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's when someone's going through demolition of a house. 857 01:26:17.820 --> 01:26:19.600 Quinlan Conf Room: We've had several on our street. 858 01:26:20.300 --> 01:26:20.990 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): the… 859 01:26:21.970 --> 01:26:26.650 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): the requirements for the, the people that are… 860 01:26:26.780 --> 01:26:35.120 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): To, do demolition. It's the first call in folks, to strip the house of anything that could be resold. 861 01:26:35.940 --> 01:26:38.309 Quinlan Conf Room: There are… and I got a number of… of… 862 01:26:39.940 --> 01:26:43.960 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Contacts here, in terms of web pages and stuff, of people that do it locally. 863 01:26:44.390 --> 01:26:51.669 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I've seen old houses with wonderful old wood and everything. They just go in with an excavator and destroy it. 864 01:26:52.170 --> 01:26:53.899 Quinlan Conf Room: So it's easy and cheap for them. 865 01:26:54.420 --> 01:27:00.920 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): But there's a lot of… That would be a… something that we'd be doing with recycling. 866 01:27:01.250 --> 01:27:05.140 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): It would be also, . 867 01:27:07.430 --> 01:27:09.180 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Up. What do you call it? 868 01:27:09.580 --> 01:27:18.869 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Deconstruction is… Palo Alto has actually a deconstruction ordinance for certain housing stock. 869 01:27:19.370 --> 01:27:24.490 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's something we occasionally have thought about, 870 01:27:24.880 --> 01:27:35.189 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): We just had a presentation at the regional tech, recently about it. I didn't know that there were maybe smaller companies that'll come in and just cherry-pick smaller. 871 01:27:35.400 --> 01:27:39.809 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't want to trigger a discussion, but just to say that is something we're aware of. 872 01:27:39.815 --> 01:27:40.914 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, what would be. 873 01:27:40.915 --> 01:27:46.815 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): something that I think maybe if we could… if we agreed as a commission. 874 01:27:46.935 --> 01:27:52.504 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): On giving a recommendation, and maybe giving more pointers? 875 01:27:55.610 --> 01:27:57.770 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It was something that was not ongoing. 876 01:27:58.110 --> 01:28:04.049 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, the, what he's talking about is construction material, which is very different. 877 01:28:04.055 --> 01:28:05.574 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): construction. It's called… 878 01:28:05.575 --> 01:28:10.055 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, yeah, construction and green demolition. It is part. 879 01:28:10.055 --> 01:28:20.024 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): part of our cap to conduct a construction and demolition feasibility study to determine if the city can expand C&D waste diversion requirements. 880 01:28:20.485 --> 01:28:25.125 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that is an appropriate topic if you wanted to talk about C&D. 881 01:28:25.760 --> 01:28:29.359 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think that's good. I mean, so many people buy and just demolish. 882 01:28:29.510 --> 01:28:33.400 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): It should be a requirement that they… I think that's true. 883 01:28:33.695 --> 01:28:34.435 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. 884 01:28:34.440 --> 01:28:37.120 Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): Pulled some stuff off an old house. 885 01:28:38.000 --> 01:28:42.590 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Would you like to suggest specific wording, or would you like me to take a stab at? 886 01:28:43.720 --> 01:28:48.550 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): You can take a stab at it, because you kind of know what the lingo is. 887 01:28:49.055 --> 01:28:51.715 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're okay at ravaging you. 888 01:28:51.715 --> 01:28:59.455 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm thinking something about… Seeing what other… Policies are out there. 889 01:29:00.755 --> 01:29:08.674 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And… hearing about… Cost differences, or, you know, something along that line, getting maybe more information about it? 890 01:29:08.930 --> 01:29:09.549 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was saying yes. 891 01:29:09.555 --> 01:29:10.244 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): study session. 892 01:29:10.245 --> 01:29:11.195 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like I said. 893 01:29:11.430 --> 01:29:13.840 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you want best practices, or… 894 01:29:14.050 --> 01:29:15.510 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): current… 895 01:29:17.610 --> 01:29:18.360 Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. 896 01:29:18.670 --> 01:29:19.490 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. 897 01:29:20.170 --> 01:29:22.840 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I would add deconstruction in there somewhere. 898 01:29:26.000 --> 01:29:30.039 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. They call it green deconstruction. 899 01:29:33.800 --> 01:29:34.510 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. 900 01:29:35.880 --> 01:29:37.389 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I have another one. 901 01:29:37.580 --> 01:29:41.600 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, real quick, we didn't open for public comment. 902 01:29:41.790 --> 01:29:43.080 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): that. 903 01:29:43.080 --> 01:29:47.060 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there any other questions before we do that? Questions? Public comments? 904 01:29:49.400 --> 01:29:50.280 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Absolutely. 905 01:29:50.500 --> 01:29:52.820 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, Connie, with Dr. 906 01:29:53.550 --> 01:29:55.849 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Yen, do you have any public comments or questions? 907 01:29:55.850 --> 01:29:58.159 Conny Yang: No, no comments. Any comments from the public? 908 01:29:58.270 --> 01:29:58.960 Conny Yang: Nope. 909 01:29:59.690 --> 01:30:00.780 Quinlan Conf Room: Okay. 910 01:30:02.150 --> 01:30:02.830 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright. 911 01:30:03.240 --> 01:30:06.120 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, the other one was… 912 01:30:09.230 --> 01:30:15.499 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We might already be covering this, but basically, we're trying to move towards. 913 01:30:16.510 --> 01:30:17.629 Quinlan Conf Room: not ha-. 914 01:30:17.650 --> 01:30:24.759 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Of having recyclable, and most likely recyclable means compostable material from restaurants. 915 01:30:25.290 --> 01:30:32.020 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): But my proposal is that we don't go… 100% on that. 916 01:30:32.130 --> 01:30:38.410 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Some things, we don't have good technology for to go… 917 01:30:38.970 --> 01:30:41.119 Quinlan Conf Room: Items like straws. 918 01:30:41.430 --> 01:30:44.920 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think forks and spoons, we got good ones. 919 01:30:45.060 --> 01:30:54.889 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, for containers, we have wonderful paper variations and everything, but there are some implements, maybe it's just straws, I don't know. 920 01:30:55.040 --> 01:30:57.840 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I know the chopsticks don't have to be plastic. 921 01:30:58.530 --> 01:31:00.140 Quinlan Conf Room: That we could… 922 01:31:01.160 --> 01:31:04.060 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): As opposed to going and trying to go 100% that we… 923 01:31:04.710 --> 01:31:06.789 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): There are good quality bamboo stores. 924 01:31:07.170 --> 01:31:09.330 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Bandu, bamboo straws. 925 01:31:09.500 --> 01:31:11.840 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But the restaurants have to provide… 926 01:31:11.840 --> 01:31:19.039 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I mean, but see, it's a cost issue. I mean, basically, if you're… you're living on a very narrow margin. 927 01:31:19.820 --> 01:31:25.949 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): you can't go with high… I mean, when the price goes down enough, and we have a good alternative. 928 01:31:25.950 --> 01:31:27.160 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes, we can push you. 929 01:31:27.780 --> 01:31:31.250 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): But until then… We're… we… we… 930 01:31:31.380 --> 01:31:38.650 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Back off, sort of like the gas range thing for the, commercial, Restaurants? 931 01:31:38.790 --> 01:31:40.790 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We had to back off on that one. 932 01:31:41.360 --> 01:31:44.290 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so sometimes it's better to… 933 01:31:47.090 --> 01:31:49.990 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Give a little bit of, pressure rule. 934 01:31:51.060 --> 01:31:57.150 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's how I would look at it. It's like, we're not making you have to give up everything, we're just giving up these… 935 01:31:59.210 --> 01:32:01.450 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Did I muddle the word? 936 01:32:01.455 --> 01:32:02.445 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): water too much. 937 01:32:02.790 --> 01:32:03.460 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): I know it. 938 01:32:03.465 --> 01:32:05.984 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): like wanting to formally revisit the series. 939 01:32:06.325 --> 01:32:10.555 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): foodware ordinance requirements. Yes, that's what I'm looking at. 940 01:32:13.015 --> 01:32:13.935 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm just… 941 01:32:14.155 --> 01:32:21.834 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm just looking for wording. You're good, no? I'm just checking if that's what I'm hearing. I'm just throwing out, as opposed to… 942 01:32:24.150 --> 01:32:34.469 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, we've got so much pushback on people who got it wrong when they think that we are going to force them to rip out all their gas. 943 01:32:34.650 --> 01:32:35.510 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Stuff. 944 01:32:36.370 --> 01:32:38.230 Quinlan Conf Room: Their legacy gas stuff. 945 01:32:38.490 --> 01:32:41.689 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): We were saying, no, when you replace 946 01:32:42.040 --> 01:32:52.579 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): You'll have to want to do it. But people are absolutely polarized up in the arms, because we're going to just do the whole thing. So we need to be… 947 01:32:52.780 --> 01:33:00.330 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): our wording and what would… and the battles we pick, I think, need to be much more certain. 948 01:33:00.530 --> 01:33:02.099 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): In fact, I don't know, they might. 949 01:33:02.100 --> 01:33:02.559 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, great. 950 01:33:03.450 --> 01:33:18.229 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): that I was looking at worst-case scenario, no boba places in Cupertino at all, so they go somewhere else. You know, I mean, why would you want to be here if you go to Santa Clara, make a cheaper cup of boba, make more money? 951 01:33:18.590 --> 01:33:26.400 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then… then you put in miles, right? People drive far, people get it. Yeah. So you're kind of bottomed in your paintball. 952 01:33:26.760 --> 01:33:28.289 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, what we do. 953 01:33:28.295 --> 01:33:30.785 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): we don't get straws from Google. 954 01:33:31.305 --> 01:33:32.285 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have at home. 955 01:33:32.290 --> 01:33:41.069 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): metal stores. Sure. But then, if you are going somewhere out of the blue, then it's kind of a problem, because whatever they did, we are… 956 01:33:41.720 --> 01:33:47.830 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): My wife came home today, with milkshakes and burgers for all of us. I was very happy. 957 01:33:48.090 --> 01:33:50.449 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): But it was plastic straws. 958 01:33:50.455 --> 01:33:57.235 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, so we don't… if we do that tomorrow, we don't get stressed from there. We just have at home a mental stress. 959 01:33:57.235 --> 01:33:58.244 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): And you're gonna have the scenario. 960 01:33:58.245 --> 01:34:01.294 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): that Susan just, Commissioner. 961 01:34:01.630 --> 01:34:03.470 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): clients have just stated. 962 01:34:03.470 --> 01:34:06.229 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): That they're gonna go to… they're gonna drive it. 963 01:34:06.235 --> 01:34:09.365 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): drive an extra 4 or 5 minutes. 964 01:34:09.365 --> 01:34:10.714 Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): the police. Okay. 965 01:34:10.715 --> 01:34:11.475 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sorry. 966 01:34:11.475 --> 01:34:22.294 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, we're pulling you back in. Sorry. So I took a stab. Update on the status and compliance levels of Cupertino's single-use plastic ordinance. Great. 967 01:34:24.490 --> 01:34:29.600 Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Perfect. All right. Sean, we're done with discussion. 968 01:34:30.520 --> 01:34:38.519 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there anything else that people wanted to add? I'll remind you, we only have 3 more meetings this year, so I just want to keep you right… So, we… 969 01:34:38.520 --> 01:34:42.179 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We already talked about, like, separating people. 970 01:34:42.460 --> 01:34:55.899 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): And at that time, our old commissioner, forgot his name, but he said that there was a discussion, but there was a price to it, because of a new bill and all that. 971 01:34:56.180 --> 01:34:59.890 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can we revisit that and see if that is possible? 972 01:35:02.170 --> 01:35:03.480 Quinlan Conf Room: -Oh. 973 01:35:07.200 --> 01:35:09.169 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Adding a bin for paper, separating. 974 01:35:09.170 --> 01:35:10.300 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): at the curb? 975 01:35:10.300 --> 01:35:11.590 Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's been low. 976 01:35:11.590 --> 01:35:13.719 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Adding the fourth stream, right? Like that. 977 01:35:13.720 --> 01:35:15.180 Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): If I can make. 978 01:35:15.185 --> 01:35:18.835 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, our franchise agreement is up in 2030. 979 01:35:19.245 --> 01:35:25.604 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I think that it would be a better time to address that when that's being drafted. 980 01:35:26.010 --> 01:35:30.789 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, I was just thinking that. We are allowed to change our mind on that, but it would… 981 01:35:31.250 --> 01:35:40.059 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): We would have to totally reopen the agreement, it would change the facility, it would change the containers, it would change the rates, it would be a huge… 982 01:35:40.720 --> 01:35:48.020 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): But is there a possibility of knowing how much money is involved? Like… like a small… Nope. 983 01:35:48.020 --> 01:36:02.560 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): will be a small amount. I mean, I went… we went to the council meeting, right? That was a huge thing. Are they going to approve increasing the rates? And we had people protesting, pretty much, people were talking against increasing the rates, right? 984 01:36:03.180 --> 01:36:05.080 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): One person. 985 01:36:06.360 --> 01:36:07.180 Quinlan Conf Room: But… 986 01:36:07.950 --> 01:36:14.399 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I would… I mean, I would agree that the natural iteration would be at the next time the… Yeah, because that's being. 987 01:36:14.405 --> 01:36:17.644 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): These are provided by Ecology, right? At the… anyway. 988 01:36:17.970 --> 01:36:20.029 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm sorry? The beans are provided by. 989 01:36:20.035 --> 01:36:21.584 Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): The beings? 990 01:36:21.590 --> 01:36:26.700 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, bins, or I'm sorry. Yeah, VINs. VINs are providing. They charge you for them. 991 01:36:27.290 --> 01:36:30.299 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And they charge you for the extra passage of the truck to pick them up. 992 01:36:31.290 --> 01:36:34.110 Quinlan Conf Room: I'm just thinking in the process of collecting. 993 01:36:35.240 --> 01:36:49.640 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I do have a quick question here. 9 items is a lot for the Commission to take on, considering that we have 3 meetings left. So, where does staff foresee items 8 and 9 being placed in our schedule? 994 01:36:50.630 --> 01:36:52.140 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sorry. 995 01:36:56.250 --> 01:36:58.599 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think we have time… we don't have anything scheduled. 996 01:36:58.600 --> 01:37:02.599 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): right now for April. I do think that these are… 997 01:37:02.770 --> 01:37:16.299 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Tentative dates, number 5 is pending council direction of a memo that's going out any day now, and so they could not… that could also not be 998 01:37:16.730 --> 01:37:19.350 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): On your work program. 999 01:37:19.490 --> 01:37:27.940 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So you do have… opportunity. We only have one October item, And… 1000 01:37:28.550 --> 01:37:34.240 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): two July items, and then the first two, depends on the progress made, since 1001 01:37:35.080 --> 01:37:40.610 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): the water conservation turf I'm hoping to bring in July, it might be October. 1002 01:37:40.860 --> 01:37:54.800 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): an urban forest management plan, I know they're drafting the scope currently, and then they're going to do a lot of public outreach, they're going to do a lot of what's possible research on the back end. My guess is probably October. 1003 01:37:54.930 --> 01:37:56.020 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): But that's an… 1004 01:37:56.025 --> 01:37:56.705 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): guests. 1005 01:37:56.895 --> 01:37:57.515 Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I'm just. 1006 01:37:57.695 --> 01:38:05.755 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): thinking, too, because whatever we decide next meeting about this subcommittee, that's also another thing that we gotta work on. Yep. 1007 01:38:06.300 --> 01:38:23.159 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then, Denali, I wasn't trying to make light of your… you want a separate container, but that's us all going to recycling, and it's getting diverted. It is being… it is being recycled as much as we recycle. It's not like it's being recycled, it's not clean. 1008 01:38:24.460 --> 01:38:26.560 Quinlan Conf Room: And then you also have the… 1009 01:38:26.560 --> 01:38:29.429 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do people really put clean paper in the clean of this bill? 1010 01:38:29.750 --> 01:38:35.750 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I mean, I think the three processing one, at least somebody goes through and picks it in the right place. 1011 01:38:36.440 --> 01:38:42.839 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And as Jack said, if they don't put… they put something wrong in the clean stuff, then you spoil the whole load. 1012 01:38:43.740 --> 01:38:50.229 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, that's what I like about the post- processing, is I know it's being direct to the right place. It's expensive. 1013 01:38:52.200 --> 01:38:54.339 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't know, maybe a mom, I don't… 1014 01:38:56.140 --> 01:39:00.299 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I will make a motion to approve this board plan as is. 1015 01:39:00.430 --> 01:39:02.640 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so you're approving the. 1016 01:39:02.645 --> 01:39:04.154 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): draft with the, 1017 01:39:04.155 --> 01:39:05.195 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): adjust. 1018 01:39:05.195 --> 01:39:10.794 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): of… or the addition of number 8 and 9. That's correct. Is there a second? 1019 01:39:12.025 --> 01:39:16.585 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, wait, you didn't ask Con again. Oh, Con, do you have any… 1020 01:39:17.510 --> 01:39:18.550 Quinlan Conf Room: Input? 1021 01:39:20.310 --> 01:39:22.370 Quinlan Conf Room: Any questions, discussion? 1022 01:39:28.320 --> 01:39:30.920 Quinlan Conf Room: Coney, can you hear us? 1023 01:39:32.830 --> 01:39:34.100 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): You have no input? 1024 01:39:35.130 --> 01:39:35.630 Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. 1025 01:39:35.630 --> 01:39:37.069 Conny Yang: But, yeah, thanks. 1026 01:39:38.870 --> 01:39:46.639 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, is there a second, then? Anybody want to second out of this motion? I second. Okay, can we have a roll call vote? 1027 01:39:46.910 --> 01:39:48.380 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Carter? 1028 01:39:48.560 --> 01:39:49.950 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Bye. Commissioner? 1029 01:39:49.955 --> 01:39:53.074 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Padguncar? Aye. Commissioner Yang? 1030 01:39:57.040 --> 01:39:57.710 Conny Yang: Yes. 1031 01:39:59.890 --> 01:40:05.369 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Vice Chair Flum? Aye. Chair Hansen? Aye. The motion carries unanimously. 1032 01:40:06.690 --> 01:40:15.350 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. All right, let's move on to our last and final item, item 5. Discuss and make a recommendation to appoint a sustainability commissioner. 1033 01:40:15.560 --> 01:40:16.929 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's already… I know. 1034 01:40:17.560 --> 01:40:19.140 Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): Awesome. 1035 01:40:19.770 --> 01:40:30.280 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, the term of the Economic Development Representative is a one-year term, and it expires every year because the commissioner could 1036 01:40:30.640 --> 01:40:36.740 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): term out of the Sustainability Commission, and they didn't want the person to be a 1037 01:40:36.880 --> 01:40:44.530 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): pointed as an economic development representative, but not able to attend because they're no longer on Sustainability Commission. 1038 01:40:44.820 --> 01:40:49.419 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So you, you have to, make a recommendation every year. 1039 01:40:49.570 --> 01:41:00.759 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so you can recommend the same person, you can recommend a new person, but we do need a formal motion to make a recommendation. I thought it was because I was sick during my… 1040 01:41:01.550 --> 01:41:05.759 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can we have a motion? Does anybody want to make a motion? 1041 01:41:05.765 --> 01:41:07.085 Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): What's what you point at? 1042 01:41:07.085 --> 01:41:07.635 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Ghost of God. 1043 01:41:09.160 --> 01:41:16.310 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): fine with being on it. I just have… you know, we had one meeting, and I got… I was… Sick. Believe me, you didn't want me to be there. 1044 01:41:16.315 --> 01:41:17.815 Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright. 1045 01:41:17.815 --> 01:41:19.315 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): cell motion.

Both of us, right? 1049 01:41:29.955 --> 01:41:32.344 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's one. There's only one. Two Bailey with. 1050 01:41:32.350 --> 01:41:35.040 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, I thought you were on F2. No! 1051 01:41:35.040 --> 01:41:42.509 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, my day job is an economic development manager, but… Okay. Anyway, fine. Okay. Second? Yeah, second. Okay. 1052 01:41:43.065 --> 01:41:44.664 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can we take a vote? 1053 01:41:44.765 --> 01:41:46.245 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or do you want to just… 1054 01:41:47.400 --> 01:41:49.800 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes, we can take a vote. Commissioner Carter? 1055 01:41:50.540 --> 01:41:53.940 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Reluctantly guy. 1056 01:41:53.945 --> 01:41:57.095 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Aye. Commissioner Yang? 1057 01:42:00.870 --> 01:42:02.210 Conny Yang: I agree, too. 1058 01:42:03.610 --> 01:42:08.580 Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I thought Carney was begging that we would make it her. 1059 01:42:09.460 --> 01:42:14.619 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Vice Chair Fung? Aye. Chair Hansen? Aye. The motion carries unanimously. 1060 01:42:14.770 --> 01:42:16.619 Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. We can now. 1061 01:42:16.625 --> 01:42:21.094 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll move on to future agenda settings. Does anyone… Oh, sorry. 1062 01:42:21.095 --> 01:42:25.275 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We forgot to open public comment for the item. Oh, I'm sorry. 1063 01:42:26.600 --> 01:42:28.250 Quinlan Conf Room: Is there any public comment? 1064 01:42:29.870 --> 01:42:45.840 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): No. Okay, sorry about that. We went out of order. Can we move now on to finally doing future agenda setting? Yes. Okay, so does any member of the Commission wish to add an item or remove an item from this list? We must ask for future agenda setting. 1065 01:42:46.020 --> 01:42:49.669 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): We must have two commissioners agree to add a limit. 1066 01:42:50.590 --> 01:42:57.429 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, we just approved a work plan, right? Yep. With those items on the work plan? Well, then there was… 1067 01:42:57.790 --> 01:43:00.280 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any other thing that you want to add on a future agenda? 1068 01:43:00.860 --> 01:43:12.609 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We… and during the earlier conversation, we talked about adding an item to form a subcommittee to address… I would leave it open-ended at this point. To address waste stuff. 1069 01:43:17.990 --> 01:43:22.569 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): We wanted to be even more broad about just a subcommittee to… 1070 01:43:23.120 --> 01:43:25.300 Quinlan Conf Room: Address outreach or something? 1071 01:43:25.320 --> 01:43:26.279 Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Outreach is good. 1072 01:43:26.675 --> 01:43:30.074 Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Done.

Yeah. 1132 01:47:37.725 --> 01:47:41.445 Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I guess if we don't form it, we can always just deny that. They can… 1133 01:47:41.445 --> 01:47:46.295 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They can go against that recommendation, but the recommendation would be to form a subcommittee. 1134 01:47:46.415 --> 01:47:47.375 Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. 1135 01:47:49.040 --> 01:47:51.119 Quinlan Conf Room: Right.
