Introduction to Jess Kerr as the new committee member and new chair of the Litter pick up Committee.
Discussion on plans for 2021:
Don discussed how KRCB needs the support of local communities and their leaders, both financially and participatory.
Jenna suggested trying to get a tarp law in place for convenience centers.
Fundraising will continue for the semi-annual clean-ups.
Jenna would like to see Trash Bowl resume in Fall of 2021 if possible.
Don will meet with the towns again, and see who was able to reestablish funding to be allocated to KRCB.
Karen reported that Dixie Lawn Care will not be able to lower their rate this year of $100 per mile.
Jenna would like KRCB to purchase some warning/safety signs noting that a litter clean-up is in progress.
New Ideas:
Jenna suggested working with Norris Library to utilize their excess books into a type of recycling project this year for students.
Jenna also suggested KRCB consider the possibility of establishing a scholarship for a High School senior in recognition of being a “Community Partner”. It would be an applied for scholarship that would be reviewed by KRCB, and would help develop future community leaders.
