Background:
From the March 5, 2024, meeting:
Councilor Ryan gave an update.
He started by inviting the Committee to attend the March 7, 2024, Finance meeting. At the last Finance meeting there was an in-depth discussion on ARPA and nip bottles. Under the nip bottle discussion there was an idea brought up to use smart recycling and trash bins which are solar powered. These bins also compact the trash. Councilor Ryan volunteered to put together a spreadsheet of all the costs involved with using the solar bins such as pouring the concrete slab, installation, repairs etc. He would also like to capture the costs for all the suggested ideas in this spreadsheet. He added that unlike ARPA funds there is no deadline upon when to spend the funds.
