B. Planning
of Future and Ongoing District Public Outreach Efforts
1. Jersey Island Internship update
Ian Jauregai,
a graduating senior from Freedom High School, began working on Jersey Island on
the week of June 10. He is scheduled to work for 14 hours/week for five weeks.
He will work directly under Dave DalPorto on the island learning various part
of the island production. So far Dave DalPorto has reported back that Ian is
doing a great job and he is very happy with the arrangement. Director Contreras
asked if Ian isn’t already filling out a journal if he can write something out
to tell about his time working on the island.
2. Jersey Island Signs
As directed by the committee,
photos of the current Jersey Island signs were shown at the meeting, along with
samples of ideas for future signs. Discussion included changing wording on the
current signs to better fit the information on the signs. The committee also
wanted to check with Dave DalPorto about wording on the current signs. The
committee also discussed options for a sign that just reads Jersey Island.
Including adding “resource recovery” or the use of “recycled water” to the
sign.
3. ISD Signs
The committee
viewed examples of a Districts Way directional street sign that would be added
to Main Street going east and west. The examples gave two size options with the
option of adding the “Ironhouse Sanitary District” name or leaving it off. The
committee chose the smaller of the two signs, with the name option if the city
did not allow the green with white lettering sign. The committee instructed to
fill out paperwork and bring to the next outreach meeting before sending to the
city.
4. District of Distinction and Transparency
Award Review
The committee
reviewed the Transparency award and the fact that two board members are
completing the necessary class hours so the District is eligible for the award.
The only step left is for the District to develop a Reserve Policy Plan. Once
these two items are completed and the award criteria reviewed by two designated
members of the public, the District can send the award in. Once the District
receives the award, then they can complete the necessary steps to receive the
District of Distinction Award.
5. City of Oakley July Cityhood Celebration
Review
The committee
reviewed the booth and information delivered at the Cityhood Celebration. It
was decided to continue to use the Blinko game at future festivals and fairs.
The committee decided to host a booth at the Bethel Island 50s Bash for at
least one day of the show.
6. Green Business plan
The committee
asked to speak with Dave Smith with further questions on the Green Business
Plan and bring back answers at next meeting.
7. Summer 2013 newsletter center spread
The committee
discussed ideas for the center spread of the six-page newsletter expected to
come out at the end of August 2013. The committee also discussed front-page
stories and a feature to be written about the JI intern.
C. Discussion
on future items for Outreach Committee meetings
Next
meeting moved until Aug. 8, 2013.
