Composting Program Updates; DC Climate Change Coalition25 Jess Reinke and Mike Schneider of the Climate Change Coalition of Door County (CCCDC) presented26 an update on the composting pickup program, which launched in late May 2026. The program is in its27 eleventh week with eleven participating businesses, including two located in Ellison Bay. Pickups occur28 on Wednesday mornings, with Schneider logging weights weekly for potential future grant29 applications. Approximately 7,000 pounds of compostable material have been collected to date.30 Schneider described the current logistics: buckets are collected and weighed on -site, transported to31 Mighty Wind Farms for composting, rinsed at the Sports Complex community garden, and stored at32 the Logerquist Farm. The committee acknowledged that consolidating rinsing and storage at a single33 location would improve efficiency. The CCCDC indicated a willingness to contribute funding toward a34 small storage shed at the community garden site. Howson noted that the Parks Committee would be35 visiting Logerquist Site on September 8th and would assess available space at that time. Any budgetary36 consideration would be incorporated into the Parks Department budget review.37 The program is expected to conclude the Wednesday following Fall Fest, with October 21st or 28th38 discussed as possible end dates. Reinke noted the volunteer team is near capacity at the current scale39 of eleven participants.40 Reinke also informed the committee of two additional opportunities: a grant through a company41 called Can It, funded by Ball Corporation, aimed at supporting recycling infrastructure at large festivals42 (deadline: end of September, awards: mid-October); and a recycling field trip to GFL's sorting facility43 in Menasha scheduled for September 17th, departing Door County at approximately 8:00 AM.44 45 b.

Ephraim's brush site was noted as a useful 13 reference point. The committee discussed planning an invasive species removal event, tentatively 14 targeted for Earth Day 2027. 15 Andrews reminded the committee of the open meetings law regarding walking quorums and best 16 practices for inter -meeting communication. All substantive committee communications should be 17 routed through staff rather than distributed directly among members via reply-all email. 18 The strategic plan was not completed during this session. The committee agreed to revisit it at the 19 next meeting. 20 21 c.
