HOW ARE YOU? WHAT WAS THAT THUDDING NOISE? I HEARD SOME WEIRD THUDDING NOISE.[1. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL]

COLLECTIVELY ONCE EVERYONE GETS HERE THERE WON'T BE ANY PROBLEMS.
>> INDIO CHAMBERS: CAN YOU BE ME NOW? EXCELLENT.
>> BUILD YOU OUT OF YOUR OFFICE.
>> INDIO CHAMBERS: (SOMETIMES.
IT'S KIND OF NICE TO BE BACK IN THE CHAMBERS.
>> WE HAVE A QUORUM BUT WE WILL GIVE IT A FEW MORE MINUTES.
DID ANYONE SAY THEY WERE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT TODAY?
>> INDIO CHAMBERS: NO ONE SAID THEY WOULDN'T BUT IT IS 530.
WE CAN WAIT TWO OR THREE MINUTES THEN WE START.
GIVE PEOPLE A BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: EVERY WEEK THAT GOES BY THEY UPDATE THE ZOOM APP.
NOW YOU GET A CHOICE BETWEEN SIGN AND OR JOIN IN.
>> I WAS VERY CONFUSED ABOUT HOW TO JOIN THIS MEETING.
THE CALENDAR ENTRY DOES NOT HAVE A ZOOM LINK.
AND SO I WENT TO THE AGENDA AND THEN I PUT THE WHATEVER ADDRESS INTO THE INTERNET.
BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE HAD INVITATIONS THAT HAD THE ZOOM LINK.
>> UP ON THE TOP I HAD TO CLICK INTO A SIGN AND NOT JOIN.
>> I HIT JOIN AND IT DIDN'T WORK SO I HAD TO SIGN IN AS A PANELIST SO IT'S NOT VERY USER-FRIENDLY.
>> SARA TOYODA: I CAN SIGN AND SEND A ZOOM LINK INVITATION.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: IT'S 532 AND ALL THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE SIGNED IN.
WE WILL CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER.
ROLL CALL I WILL GIVE FORWARD TO SARAH.
>> SARA TOYODA: VICE CHAIR LOU.
>> SARA TOYODA: COMMISSIONER ROMERO.
>> SARA TOYODA: COMMISSIONER PATTERSON.
>> COMMISSIONER ROBERT PATTERSON: HERE.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: WITH THAT WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC HERE TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? NOBODY IN THE WAITING ROOM OR ANYTHING?
>> SARA TOYODA: I DON'T SEE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: ALL RIGHT.
IF NOBODY WANTS TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE MINUTES AND I WILL
[4. MINUTES]
ABSTAIN FROM THIS.IS THERE ANYONE WITH A MOTION ABOUT THE MINUTES?
>> COMMISSIONER ROBERT PATTERSON: WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: IS THERE A SECOND?
>> VICE-CHAIR ANETHA LUE: SECOND.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING? ALL RIGHT IF THERE'S NO COMMENTS.
COMMISSIONER VICE-CHAIR ANETHA LUE.
>> VICE-CHAIR ANETHA LUE: I APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING.
>> COMMISSIONER MIGUEL ROMERO: I APPROVE.
>> COMMISSIONER ROBERT PATTERSON: I.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: WILL MOVE ON TO THE ACTION ITEMS.
[5.1 Approval of the Sustainability Plan and 2022 Annual Work Plan Draft to...]
I WILL GIVE IT TO SARAH BRIEFLY FOR A RUNDOWN AND THEN WE WILL LOOK FORWARD TO A MOTION.>> SARA TOYODA: I WILL GO AHEAD AND SHARE MY SCREEN.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN FOR 22? FOUR 2022?
>> SARA TOYODA: I FINISHED EDITING THE FIRST PART OF THE PLAN.
I ADDED THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE TO THE TCC PLAN.
I ADDED THAT TO SOME OF THE PLANS THAT WE BROUGHT INTO THIS ONE.
SOME LIMITATIONS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
I ADDED THREE BASICALLY OUR LOCAL MAIN RISKS ARE HEATING, WATER AND AIR QUALITY.
BESIDES THAT, I LEFT THE PLANT PRETTY MUCH HOW IT WAS.
BUT WHAT I WANTED TO DO WAS ADD MORE OF A WORK PLAN COMPONENT OF IT.
WORKING ON THE TITLES EAT AND EAT THERE'S NOT MUCH DETAIL AND AS VICE CHAIR LOU POINTED OUT.
THERE'S NO WAY TO TRACK WHAT WE ARE DOING.
MAKE SURE WE ARE MOVING FORWARD AND MAKING THE PROGRESS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE.
TOWARD THE BACK I WENT AHEAD AND ADDED A TABLE THAT BASICALLY RUNS DOWN WHAT WE
[00:05:01]
WILL BE WORKING ON THIS YEAR AND THE GOALS IT CONNECTS TO.THERE'S THREE PHARMACIES THAT WORK WITH US.
ANDREW TO BE ABLE SO PEOPLE CAN BRING THEIR SHARKS TO THE PHARMACIES AND GET EMAIL BACK CONTAINERS AND MAIL THEM AND FOR PROBABLE PROPER DISPOSAL.
LATELY THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES ARE HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME GETTING THOSE.
WE HAVE BEEN GETTING SO MANY CALLS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF THEIR SHARKS OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
THERE'S NOT REALLY A RELIABLE WAY TO DO IT.
IT'S JUST FROM THE CALLS WE ARE GETTING AND THE QUESTIONS WE ARE GETTING ASKED.
I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO VISIT AGAIN.
I SPOKE WITH THE FOLKS AT RIVERSIDE COUNTY WHO ULTIMATELY RUN A FACILITY HERE.
THEY'RE READY TO COME AND TALK TO US NEXT MONTH.
HE ALSO ADDED THAT TO OUR WORK PLAN.
THEN I ADDED A WORK PLAN SHEET.
THESE ARE PRETTY BASIC PROJECT SHEETS.
THEY COVER EACH OF THE THINGS THAT ARE LISTED IN THAT TABLE AT THE END OF THE PLAN NOW.
IT GIVES US KIND OF A STATUS OF ONGOING NOTES SO WE CAN TRACK WHAT WE'RE DOING AND MAKE SURE WE ARE ON TRACK FOR WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
THEN WE HAVE ALL THAT RECORDED.
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FORMATTED.
I THINK THAT IS REALLY ALL WE HAVE FOR THAT.
SO THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY MORE IDEAS.
THIS IS THE FINAL PRESENTATION.
IT'S HERE TONIGHT AS A VOTING ITEM TO BE FOR YOU ALL TO DECIDE WHETHER YOU ARE READY TO SEND THIS TO CITY COUNCIL.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR SARAH WHAT SHE JUST SAID?
>> NO NOTES SECTION AT THE END WHICH EVERYONE HAD A QUESTION ABOUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO TRACK THIS.
AND THIS ALLOWS US THE FLEXIBILITY IF SOMETHING COMES UP ON THE RADAR THAT WE WANT TO ADD.
>> VICE-CHAIR ANETHA LUE: THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD WAS INSIGNIFICANT.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS JUST MY SCREEN BUT I THINK WHEN I DOWNLOAD ONLINE IT DOES NOT SHOW UP WITH A HEADER ISSUE.
LIKE IT HAD TWO DIFFERENT TECHS IMPOSED ON YOUR END.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: THE HEADER GETS OFF BALANCE.
WHEN IT GOES TO PRINT FORM AND PRESENTATION IT IS EXACTLY THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
>> VICE-CHAIR ANETHA LUE: YET IT DIDN'T SHOW THAT WAY ON MY END.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: AT SIZING.
>> VICE-CHAIR ANETHA LUE: IT WAS SHOWING FINE ON MY SIDE.
THAT'S THE ONLY THING I NOTED AND WE GOT YOUR NOTE ABOUT THE PRESENTATION I THINK MAY 18 SO.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: I MADE A MOTION TO PRESENT THIS TO THE CITY COUNCIL AS IS.
>> IS VERY 2ND TO COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK MOTION? MOTION SECONDED TO PASS THE DOCUMENT AS IS.
AND WHAT COMMENTS ABOUT THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR?
>> SARA TOYODA: WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO A ROLL CALL? TERRY BENSON?
>> VICE-CHAIR ANETHA LUE: I VOTE YES.
>> COMMISSIONER MIGUEL ROMERO: YES.
>> COMMISSIONER ROBERT PATTERSON: YES.
>> COMMISSIONER JERRY TACK: YES.
WITH THAT WE WILL MOVE ON TO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS.
DO THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY COMMENTS FOR THE COMMISSION? IF NOT, I WILL MOVE ON TO STAFF ITEMS.
[7. STAFF ITEMS]
DO THE STAFF HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO BRING UP TO THE COMMISSION? ACTUALLY.>> SARA TOYODA: I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP ONE THING.
I'M GOING TO SHARE MY SCREEN AGAIN.
[00:10:02]
BECAUSE THAT WORKED SO WELL.I JUST WANTED TO SHOW THIS BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING I GUESS TO SAY THE LEAST.
IT'S AN ACTUAL WORKING KICKING HOME KITCHEN COMPOSTER.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
BUT THIS IS A FAIRLY SMALL UNIT WHERE IT SITS IN YOUR KITCHEN AND PLUGS IN.
AND AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.
IT HAS A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPERATING MODES.
YOU CAN MAKE IT SO IT'S NOT MESSY FOOD WASTE AND YOU PUT IT IN YOUR GREEN VAN IF YOU WANT AND PROCESS IT THAT WAY.
BUT I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING I WANTED TO BRING UP.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS ABOUT IT.
AND SOMETHING I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
I WANTED TO BRING THAT UP SO I THOUGHT THIS WAS INTERESTING.
I ACTUALLY CONTACTED THE COMPANY.
THESE ARE JUST STARTING OUT SO THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF UNITS RIGHT NOW.
BUT IT'S A REALLY INTERESTING CONCEPT.
>> COMMISSIONER MIGUEL ROMERO: OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS EVER GETTING ADS ON SOME YOUTUBE VIDEOS.
I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT AS WELL.
I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED SOME MORE CLARIFICATION ON IT.
I THINK ONE OF THE VIDEOS THEY SUGGEST YOU SHOULD ALSO DO SOME SORT OF PLASTIC.
THAT'S THE INTERESTING PART TO ME.
I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THAT WORKS.
I THINK IT'S A REALLY COOL PRODUCT IF THE COMPANY IS WILLING.
I WOULD LOVE TO GET A PRESENTATION.
SEE HOW IT WORKS AND HOW WE CAN SUPPORT IT IF THAT IS SO THAT THE COMMISSION IS OPEN TO.
>> COMMISSIONER ROBERT PATTERSON: I'VE SEEN ONE IN SOMEBODY'S KITCHEN.
AND I HAD A QUESTION IN MY MIND.
FIRST OF ALL HOW SUCH A SMALL CONTAINER HANDLES THE QUANTITY OF FOOD WASTE THAT COMES FROM A FULL-SIZED FAMILY AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS.
WHAT MECHANISM DOES IT USE TO CREATE SOIL SO QUICKLY WHEN YOU NOTE THAT THE PROCESS CAN TAKE A YEAR OR LONGER.
HOW DOES IT MANAGE TO DO THAT? SO QUICKLY.
>> MORGEN: THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SIMILAR PROJECTS I HAVE RESEARCHED IN THE PAST.
TYPICALLY THEY DON'T ACTUALLY MAKE DIRT.
THEY GRIND ON YOUR FOOD WASTE AND GENERALLY COMBINE IT WITH ANOTHER ITEM.
>> MORGEN BENTSEN: WHICH IS USUALLY A COCONUT HUSK.
IT'S NOT TRUE COMPOST BUT IT'S COMPOST LIKE.
IT WILL GRIND YOUR FOOD WASTE DOWN TO A POINT AND COMBINE IT WITH THE COCONUT HUSK THAT YOU CAN ADD IT TO YOUR GARDEN AND IT WILL THEN MIX IN WITH THE SOIL AND CONTINUE THE COMPOSTING PROCESS IN THE DIRT AND ADD NUTRIENTS TO THE DIRT.
CAME OUT WITH ONE THAT IS SORT OF THE SIZE OF A TRASH CAN.
IT CAN HOLD A WEEK'S WORTH OF YOUR FAMILY'S FOOD WASTE AND YOU ADD WHEN IT GETS FULL.
THE COCONUT HUSK YOU TURN IT ON AND IT GRINDS IT DOWN.
IT BREAKS UP ALL THE FOOD WASTE.
YOU HAVE THIS LITTLE TRAY AT THE BOTTOM YOU PULL OUT.
THEY ARE FANTASTIC IF WE CAN GET A PRESENTATION.
I LOOKED AT GETTING THIS FOR MY HOME AND THEY ARE EXPENSIVE.
AND THE COCONUT HUSK THAT YOU HAVE TO GET IS AN ONGOING EXPENSE.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T WORK WITHOUT THAT.
AND THERE ARE SOME REVIEWS THAT SORT OF TALK ABOUT HOW YOU KNOW THEY SAY THE SEAL UP AND THERE IS NO SMELL BUT THERE CAN BE A SMELL.
I READ SOME REVIEWS ABOUT THAT.
AND SOME REVIEWS HAVE STATED PRODUCTS DON'T GRIND IT DOWN LIKE THEY SHOWED IN THE VIDEO.
I THINK THIS COULD DEFINITELY BE THE FUTURE OF HOME COMPOSTING BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING ESPECIALLY FOR APARTMENTS AND YET SO THESE ARE GREAT.
I'LL SEE IF THEY WILL GIVE US A PRESENTATION THROUGH ZOOM.
[00:15:02]
>> MORGEN BENTSEN: COOL EVERYTHING ELSE FOR THE STAFF SARAH WANTS TO SHOW THE COMMISSION?
>> SARA TOYODA: THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
>> MORGEN BENTSEN: MUSTERS ANYTHING ELSE.
ELMER'S MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.
>> MORGEN BENTSEN: ALL IN FAVOR.
I HOPE EVERYONE IS SAFE.
