PRESENTATION 11-09-11
Ford Zypher, Regional Director of Team Rubicon, made a presentation to the Board on a non-profit organization based out of Kansas City called Team Rubicon that recruits teams of military veterans and medical professionals to respond to natural disasters. As US military veterans, these responders share a unique brand of skills cultivated on the battlefield which includes emergency medicine, risk assessment, teamwork and decisive leadership. Their goal is to work with local governments to assist in emergency situations. Zyper also offered the team to assist in local services such as volunteering in a food kitchen or working on a habitat for humanity's project to keep the group active.
SUSTAINABILITY 11-09-11
Eileen Horn, Sustainability Coordinator, updated the Board on the application process for the "Common Ground" urban agricultural project and the site locations for the gardens. It was the consensus of the County Commission to include a 4-acre site on the west end of the land just purchased by the County for a new Public Works facility, pending the cost estimates for installing a water meter at the site. The Food Policy Council is focusing on a measuring indicator for the food production.
Flory moved to go forth with the "Common Ground" project as described by Horn. Motion was seconded by Thellman and carried 3-0.
