Announcements
Sub-Committee Reports
Website: the sustainability website is now linked from LSC’s homepage. Travis Jackson has been doing a fantastic job at getting content formatted and sending it to Steve. Kristi suggested we consider a position for Travis as a work-study for next semester. Mat will forward pictures that Tom took over the summer as well as some LEED pictures to Kristi to be posted on SharePoint.
Old Business
Kevin and Kristi reported on the MN Waste Wise Annual meeting. There were many interesting ideas generated. Theresa would like to meet with one of the presenters form the meeting, Richard Murphey, and discuss native landscaping with him, possibly formulating a proposal for landscaping around the new building. Kristi will forward a link with the meeting’s PowerPoint presentation to Theresa.
Deanne will follow-up with Wade on the status of our CAP extension request.
The disk-golf course trash collection is going forward with the City of Duluth. Kristi followed up on a couple of weeks they had forgot to do pick-ups and it is not on the regular rotation.
A student also contacted Kristi about a class project to put some more descriptive signs down on the interpretive trail. It would be a good idea to maybe include the disk golf course and signs explaining where the trash cans are located. Kristi has made an effort to get the student and Glenn together to discuss this project.
Climate Action Plan: the Council discussed ways to include the campus on input involving the Climate Action Plan. Deanne suggested we do a short presentation at the January 6th Duty Day and have small break-out groups brainstorm at Duty Day to generate ideas. It was agreed that we should meet with President Johns before that to get feedback from him. Kevin set up a meeting for November 30th at 1:00. Kristi will arrange a meeting with Student Senate sometime before the January Duty Day as well.
