Minutes of the Regulai- Meeting of Council Monday, May 16, 2016 Page 4 DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS: Council President Saponaro stated, I have got everyone listed on here. 1 don't ki1ow if evezyone has thein, so if you don't just give me the high sign and we will go Uy you. I?iane Wolgainuth (Administration) - I just wanted to mention, there is a new prograin tllat we are looking at launching for the suminer. Bill Thomas and the Mayor and I met with a representative from Geauga Family Fai7ns on Friday. VVI7at they are proposing is that we participate in a CSA prograin which is Coimnunity Support in Agriculture. The way it works is they are local fai7ners who participate in the program, get people to sign up and then once a week you can come and pick up your organic produce and it will be whatever is in season at the time so you can select your level of participation, like it's for one person, two to four people, or five or more people if you have a larger family. There's different price points. It's a 20 week program. So if you sign up, you can start as of the first week of June. What we were proposing was that we would do it every Thursday aften7oon from 2:00-3:30 you could pick up your produce. That is actually the only timeslot that they had available and we thought a good location would be at The Grove seivice drive. People would go there, pick up their produce once a week. You can also start later in the season. You don't have to start as of June lsl and they will pro-rate the pijce based on when you start. We need at least 25 people to participate in order for the program to go forward so we are going to do what we can to advertise it to everyoile aud this is the first opportunity we have had to talk about it. So look for inore information about that. I did pass out this flier to Council and the Department Heads and there's a few extra copies on the table for anyone that's interested. Thank you. .
