Approval of Minutes of June 11, 2012
Youth Advisory Council Recruitment: Two applications from Mattituck were
received; two students are needed from Greenport and Southold. Elaine has
targeted a student (Jackie Conway) and will send YAC application.
Survey: In absence of Crissy, the board reviewed the survey and provided
comments. Phillip will meet with her to review suggestions. The committee
thought it was an excellent start. Survey will only be for students and will also be
made available in Spanish as well and accessible online. Target date for
distribution will be mid-late September in schools.
Environmental Initiative: In absence of Dan and Costa, the board reviewed the
proposal for education and implementation of recycling at schools. The board
strongly supports facilitating recycling however it was suggested that the best
approach may be to set up a meeting with schools to inform them about proposed
initiative and inquire what schools are currently doing (i.e. don't assume that
schools are not addressing the issue.) It also would gain greater credibility if the
Town promoted recycling at its own facilities (e.g. Town Hall, etc.). Philip will
speak with DPW and Transfer Station to discuss feasibility.
Mailing Addresses: Reminder to board--YB home mailing addresses are
required as per Youth Bureau funding source.
Youth Bureau Resource Directory: Irene reported via email that she has been
diligently working on the directory, she has spent approximately 40 hours editing
it and needs an additional 20 hours to complete, Crissy will contact her to provide
assistance.
Next Meeting Date: Monday, September 24th at 5:00 p.m. at the Human
Resource Center in Mattituck.
Respectfully Submitted,
Phillip Beltz
