<br />3 <br /> <br />Staff asked for Commission direction regarding SolSmart, a program similar to <br />GreenStep Cities focused specifically on solar programs at the city level. The <br />Commission felt GreenSteps was a better overall sustainability program and did not <br />feel SolSmart was beneficial recognition/program at this time. <br /> <br />5.6 Solar Picnic Table <br /> <br />The UST Senior Design class completed the solar powered picnic table and the city <br />still needs funding for the construction of the table and installation of the system. <br />Possible partnerships were discussed and funding options. Staff and Commission <br />members will continue to work on this. <br /> <br />5.7 SustainER 2017-2018 plan and guidance for the group <br /> <br />The student group SustainER will begin meeting again in September and will be <br />working to recruit new members. The goal is to make the group more appealing and <br />attract interested students. The Commission suggested using the 10 Year Action Plan <br />as an outline for determining possible projects or fieldtrips for the group. The group <br />is hopeful that more students from ISD 728 will be interested this year. Possible <br />projects include finalizing iMatter and presenting to City Council, native plant, waste <br />and recycling, Arbor Day event and city park clean up event. The hope is for these <br />students to lead initiatives, be creative and get involved in their community. <br /> <br />6.
