Village of Lombard Legistar System

Hernandez: updated committee on television taping going on by Waste Management

about recycling. Some of it is being filmed in Lombard. Jendras: I saw them out; it was

a beautiful day. Hernandez: Waste Management worked well with the Village of

Lombard during the flood/handing out of stickers. Bartt: do we know the increase in

recycling since we handed out the blue bins? Hernandez: I think we need to see at

least a full year to get a better idea. The good news is that I haven't gotten any

complaints!

Park View School

Anderson: each bike rack holds 50 bikes. Lyons: my question was how many children

actually ride their bikes to school. That was the answer I was specifically looking for.

Bartt: that would be hard for them to answer. Also, these bike racks would be utilized

all summer at the park. Jendras: we have given them benches before. Lyons: where

are all of those benches? I do not recall seeing them. Jendras: I do not recall seeing

them last time I was there. Adams: I say a total of three items. One bench and two

bike racks, or three bike racks.

Consensus of committee was to award them one bench and two bike racks.

Approve the grant request in the amount of $1,375.00 for the purchase of (1) bench and

(2) bicycle racks.

St. Pius X School

Hernandez: to clarify the situation, the woman that gave them the quote was new and

did not give out the correct information. They are actually lowering the costs if they go

with what we are now recommending (6 yarder going one time per week) . Hildebrand:

parish leaders met and we are just guessing at the amounts we have at this time. We

are anticipating the recycling growing. Hernandez: we can get you a matrix showing:

garbage and recycling/different amounts/how many times per week. Jendras: where is

their paper recycling going now? Hernandez: they have 4 toters now. It is not

adequate. Lyons: they need to make sure that everything is very condensed and

smashed down. Do you have a can press? Hildebrand: no. Bartt: is this a new area;

are you looking for a grant to pay for recycling? Anderson: this is not a precedent that

we want to set. Lyons: yes, we do not want to do that. Jendras: we could grant a

request for a can crusher. Bartt: I get the feeling that you are waiting for a decision

from us before you start this program. Hildebrand: some of it we have to start, part of it

we will not know how to handle until it happens. Hernandez: they should see a cost

reduction once this starts up. Jendras: can the committee award a grant for start up

costs of a flat sum of $1000.00? Hildebrand: this is really a "pilot program". Lyons:

Sacred Heart has been recycling for several years. Hildebrand: this is for the lunch

program, and we will bring it to other parochial schools in Lombard. Anderson: if we do

it as a start up for a pilot program, we should require data back from them so that we

can use it to present to businesses, etc. Discussion ensued. Hildebrand: one of our

major items is plastic (plastic bottles). Adams: do you use polystyrene trays?

Hildebrand: yes. Anderson: when Matt puts the matrix together, we can create spread

sheet with costs of trash versus recycling. Lyons: is this amount for startup including

containers? Jendras: they could use it for whatever they would like to. They will not

receive money until they turn in the receipts. Lyons: in our building it did balance out

with no real additional cost once we starting recycling.

Approve the grant request in the amount $1500.00 towards startup capital costs for

recycling program; reports of volume reduction of trash and volume increase from

recycling to be submitted back to committee.

It was moved by Jendras, seconded by Bartt, that this matter be recommended

to the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by a voice vote

2007 Recycling Extravaganza

Gron: need to choose a date for 2007 event. Discussion ensued. Committee decided

that 9/15 is first choice, 9/22 is second choice. (depends on homecoming dates at

Glenbard East and Willowbrook) Bartt will e-mail Lindstrom with information after she

contacts schools. Lyons: did we send a thank-you note to Steve Spoden for all of his

publicity? Anderson: no. Lyons: did we get a grant from the county? Anderson: yes.

Lyons: did we send a thank-you to note to Pat Lose? Would you like me to do it?

Anderson: that would be up to the committee. Committee agreed that is the right thing

to do. Adams: do not have all of our information yet.

Anderson: I am getting a proposal from an Electronics Recycler; they do not take TV's.

They would run this 4 times a year/no volunteers needed. Adams: are they local?

Anderson: I think they are located in Carol Stream. Will see what they actually take

when I receive the proposal. Will bring it to the committee. Hernandez: another thing

we need to address is the wood. Need to be sure we are only accepting untreated

wood. Gron: what is going to happen with the treated wood? Hernandez: treated stuff

is going to have to go as garbage. Anderson: we will end up sorting, etc. Bartt: it is the

"Recycling Extravaganza", we do not want to take garbage. Gron: any research on this

stuff going in to the landfills? Hernandez: they take it in, but won't guarantee that it will

be recycled.
