Friday in the City Hall parlGng lot might work. Wanted 300 cars in 3 hours. Group seemed
interested in doing this for the community. Possibly consider doing it in conjunction with drug take
back program.
III. Old Business
Green Communities Update: -Michele and Cindy. Presented to City Council on 2-11. Reviewed
other cities that have achieved certification. Need help from council in approving a green ordinance
that would make it neat and clean. Difficult for a volunteer group to do, takes lots of staff time.
Educational component to let community know what we are doing. Building standards can be
'conditional' based on not to exceed verbiage for costs. Michele reviewed history, beginning in June
2010. Master planning (especially Crabapple) should include planning for electric cars, preferred
parlGng and charging stations.
Meeting adjourned at 1:50 pm
