<br /> <br />5.3 ECC Project Ideas - In addition to the solar park trail project, Commissioners discussed other <br />projects to consider, including initiating a zero-waste program at the FTC to reduce the amount of <br />trash, recyclables, and organics. Project determination will be discussed at the next meeting. <br /> <br />Commissioner Enfield mentioned Xeriscaping as an alternative to grass lawns to reduce the <br />amount of water used and the herbicides entering our waters. Many HOA’s have stringent rules <br />about yard maintenance/appearance that prevents homeowners from installing more water- <br />resistant landscapes. However, residents who are not in HOA’s may want to consider <br />alternative landscaping designs to conserve water and reduce maintenance. <br /> <br />5.4 Farmers Market – Recreation Coordinator, Karen Wingard joined the meeting at 8:55 <br />a.m. to discuss the ECC’s booth and set-up needs at the 8.22.2024 Farmer Market. ECC <br />members will share the commission’s purpose and encourage visitors to participate in more <br />energy saving practices at home and at work. In addition to energy and sustainability issues, the <br />Commission will distribute informational brochures, have a game, candy, and give aways. Staff <br />will work with Communications to design an ECC banner and possibly a poster showing <br />which trails would be priority for a solar lighting project. <br /> <br />rd <br />5.5 3 Quarter News Article – Commissioner Burandt is up for this quarter’s article. The <br />group thought that ‘yard waste’ would be an appropriate subject for this time of year. <br /> <br />5.6 Other Commission Updates – Commissioner Enfield asked if a recycling tour could be <br />set up for the Commission to gain a better understanding of the processes utilized. Suzanne <br />will inquire with Republic about potential tour dates/locations. <br /> <br />There being no further business, Commissioner Dombrovski moved to adjourn the meeting, <br />seconded by Commissioner Fomby. The meeting was adjourned at 9:25am. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Suzanne M. Fischer 7.22.2024 <br />Suzanne M.
