February 25, 2009Reading Advisory Committee on Cities for Climate Protection Program <br />Committee Notes for February 25, 2009. 7PM (Next Meeting - Mar. 11 at Town Hall) <br />Present were Michele Benson, Gina Snyder, Ron D'Addario, Tracy Sopchak, Joan Boegel, Bing Xia, Ray Porter and <br />Stephanie Anderberg. <br />Meeting opening -Chair Michele Benson opened the meeting. <br />Minutes - The item was tabled pending distribution of Ron's notes. <br />Earth Day Fair -Most of last year's vendors that have replied so far, are on board again this year. An <br />idea is to approach some of the Lego robotics teams about displaying their projects. Kids' tables could be set up in <br />the a/v room for more space. The committee discussed other ideas for groups which might have a display. There <br />was also a discussion on the logistics of a "bike swap" - can Reading Cares get volunteers to staff it? <br />Meeting with Peter, Selectmen's presentation and Green Communities Act - the shuttle funding is no <br />longer available for us - EOT cannot reserve it under the town's name. Still trying to determine if towns with <br />munis can access Green Community Act funds, if we are not members of Renewable Energy Trust/ MTC. Tracy <br />will check with Peter on next steps, and look into contacting Brad Jones to find out if he has better access to <br />answers. <br />Other Business - Belmont High requires graduating students to have completed 40 hours of <br />community service, so some kids there did a no-idling campaign. <br />
