4. Discuss Clean Campus Proaram for 2005/2006
Staff and board members discussed making several changes to the registration form. The
members suggested numbering the categories, enlarging the font to make individual
categories more visible and changing the due date to October 25, 2006. They also suggested
changing the last line in the point's information to: The remaining 50 points must be earned
from any of the sub categories. It was also recommended that a contact name and phone
number be added to the application.
Discuss Litter Not Proaram
Debbie York relayed to board members that funding for the Litter Not program was approved
for the 2006-2007 Budget year; the program will be funded for the next two years and will
receive $12,500 each year. Ms. York then asked for help in determining how the money will
be spent, which is necessary in order to create a line-item budget. Ms. York suggested
possibly using some of the money in developing a program logo and provided four (4) sample
logos that were derived from ideas board members discussed at their previous meeting.
Board members reviewed the samples and offered additional suggestions. Ms. York told
board members she would re-work the logo using their suggestions and e-mail them the up-
dated version so they have time to review it before the October 17 board meeting.
The board also discussed using a portion of the Litter Not funds to purchase waste
receptacles, which will be imprinted with the Keep NRH Beautiful and Litter Not logos. The
waste receptacles will be placed on city right-of-ways throughout the city, however; before
moving forward with this idea, it will have to be presented to the Parks department for their
approval since their staff will be the ones responsible for the waste removal.
Niaht of Holidav Maaic
Board members all agreed they would like to help out in the train area at this year's Night of
Holiday Magic. The work schedule will be determined at a future meeting.
