B. Planning
of Future and Ongoing District Public Outreach Efforts
1. P2- FOG Campaign, Heart of Oakley booth
Discussed plans for the P2 – FOG campaign that the committee will be
displaying at the Heart of Oakley event on Sept. 14 in Oakley. Roni showed
soap, candles and suet made of FOG to be displayed at the event giving people
alternatives on how to recycle FOG. She also showed recipe fliers to hand out
to residents about the program. Committee discussed other ways to advertise the
program, as well as the idea of bringing the soap or suet program to schools.
2. ISD sign updates, Main Street, Jersey Island
Committee discussed the permits needed for the Main Street directional
signs and where the process is. The committee also approved, with changes, the
photo release form used for photos or graphics used in the wipes sign we are
currently making and to use anytime in the future when using graphics and
photos in publicity.
3. District of Distinction and Transparency
Award Review
Committee discussed the public transparency award and the next steps.
Currently the committee is waiting for the finance committee and the board to
approve the “reserve policy”. The committee is also working on a letter to go
to County Mary Piepho and LAFCO Lou Ann Texeira that will
ask each of them to judge the transparency of Ironhouse Sanitary District. The
program has specific people within the community judge the award.

a tour of the Facility with Tom and possible lunch here at the District office.
