=== Waste Reduction and Reuse Grant ===


* Will be submitted soon. Heather has talked with staff. We have a good chance of getting funding. Could not be done as a Spring problem, as originally designed by Molly, Heather has some ideas for stretching it out more over a year. The proposal is to train volunteers at up to 5 community leagues to basic maintenance and repair and then become advocates for bike re-use in that neighborhood. It would not rely on staff time, but rather on recruiting a volunteer, and should be revenue-neutral. Adam pointed out that there are also revenue-positive programs as above that rely on volunteer resources and are in question, as above. Coreen feels she's discussed the program with Heather and feels the needs are realistic. Adam acknowledges that writing grants is a good in and of itself; if it can't be delivered then we give the money back.
