Board Member Comments:
D. Hogen — Darrin Platt is interested in joining the SWAB Board. I will follow up with him.
K. Irons — I think it's useful to revisit the by-laws regularly, they are own procedures of how we
do business in the community. I will be reaching out to the expert panel for the survey to get
momentum going on that again. And the transfer station is very useful to talk about.
T. Pruitt — Patrick Simpson of Soldotna, Alaska Plastic Recovery Program, will accept Plastic
Types 1, 2, 4, & 5. He melts down the plastics and turns them into the planks that can be used
in non-structural construction projects (benches, porches, etc.). I have a article from November
2nd I will email out to the Board for more information. But it would be neat if we could get him
to Kodiak to do a presentation.
A. Wall — Corey, nice to see you. Good input tonight. Looking forward to outreach
opportunities.
Meeting Schedule — February 22"d, 2022.
