Visitor Comments: None
Board Member Comments:
R. Williams — Had a question for Dave regarding the Alaska Waste Proposal for bulk item pickup.
K. Irons — I really appreciate the EF Department and all their work. Next meeting, I want to
encourage all to start thinking about short-, medium-, and long-term priorities for the Board.
T. Pruitt — None.
L Van Daele — Thank you all for your patience as I get caught up and thank you to Dave and
Scott for your expertise on the subject matter. I feel Alaska Waste and Threshold really need to
be here at these meetings. The dumpster retrofit project is moving forward with KBBT (Kodiak
Brown Bear Trust), Highmark Marine, Alaska Waste, and KHS welding and art classes. Hopefully
next meeting we will know if we received the full $35,000 grant. There is also a Bear Safety art
contest that happens where the prize is a bear viewing trip to Katmai Bear Camp. Also on the
news I saw there was a Gibson Cove Net Recycling program — which looked pretty interesting.
And with Anchorage Daily News I saw that with the new senator there is going to be $1 million
going to Island Trails for removal recycling and recovery. There are open seats and that might
be a good place to cross efforts.
A. Wall — Backhaul Alaska also worked with Net Your Problem who is doing the Gibson Cove
Program. Larry can you reach out to Island Trails and find out more?
S. Smiley —The thing that comes to mind is letting people know what success looks like. What
does advertising success look like? We want to help people understand what success looks like.
