needed for regulations. Talked about newsletters and information that will go
out to the public about regulations.
2. Saturday holiday grease days
Committee discussed
only opening one Saturday this holiday season. Decided that the Saturday after
Thanksgiving opening was the best bet this year. Time change for opening from
10 am to 2 pm to 9 am to 1 pm. Making a new banner. Have staff place fliers on
doors in neighborhoods with grease issues. List regular openings grease
building openings as well as the Saturday opening.

and information about what was discussed at the workshop and future ideas for
promotions on the topic.
4. Winter Newsletter ideas
Moved date of

remind people to save their holiday grease and bring it to ISD for recycling.

with Gregg Kester

Staff profile
Story on Dr. Oz and wipes
The committee likes the heavy
paper that was used by accident in the Summer newsletter and would like to use
that paper in the newsletters if possible. Also because that paper is recycled
paper wants to add that on newsletter.
5. Distinction Award Preparation
Short
discussion on Distinction award.
6. Review of Heart of Oakley Festival
Discussed the campaigns used at
the Heart of Oakley Festival including salt campaign, grease campaign and wipes
campaign. Learned from public that Dr. Oz spoke about not flushing wipes and
still have a lot of interest in the wipes we added to water at the Bethel
Island 50s Bash in 2013 that have not degraded yet. The grease soap campaign is
still successful with a lot of people stopping at our booth to check out the
bacon soap recipe and the salt cleaning products gained some interest.
Gave away a lot of bags. Almost
all our pens are gone.
7. Bio-Solid story
Greg Kester from CASA will be
coming to speak with the committee later this month to discuss recycled uses
for bio-solids and ideas for educating the public.
