Meeting: October
We're back!
We had a hiatus with my taking a new job and some health Issues the team met yesterday and
focused on the natural resources inputs and we are SO CLOSE. but We also have a new member - please welcome
Let me recap where we are on projects and
points:
Carbon Footprint: Completed by Nicole and attached for upload
(yeah!).
Energy Audit: The audits of B Hall and
Community
Forestry Plan/Tree Planting/Tree Maintenance/Tree health assessment/Tree computer program: I've lumped all of these actions together because they are overlapping from our
perspective. Nicole has agreed to follow up with shade tree to see if we have an
actual "canopy goal," to determine
if there are any before and after photos for tree plantings, to get a bill for tree removal and tree pruning,
and to write up brief "project reports"
for each of these topics to satisfy requirements. I have email Sustainable
Jersey to ask what we should do with very large documents and documents that are a web link vs. an
upload. Points: 60

Perhaps Andy could give us an update as to the
status of the upload as
Well as the address. I know that some chapters are still being
worked on but
Are close to completion. 20 points
Total
points
(assuming 50 from the audits):195. This
is over what we need
for bronze (150) but well
under silver (350).
One of their criteria above and beyond points,
however, is to earn points
In 6 out of 16
categories. At the moment, our actions
fall into 5 categories
so we will need to take on
something else. Possible areas are: historic
preservation plan, solar or
anti-idling.
