Hudson advisory approves light-bulb exchange order; members plan storage and distribution
Summary
The council approved an initial order of LED bulbs, arranged storage and distribution plans, and discussed promotion and community distribution sites including library and farmers market.
Council members reported approval for a light-bulb exchange program and said the initial order of about 300 LED bulbs (estimated cost roughly $1,800) will be shipped soon. Kamal, a council member, was recorded as approving the request and a check has been requested for payment to be sent by month-end.
Members discussed short-term storage and distribution logistics. One member said the best near-term option was to ship the bulbs to her home/workshop until a longer-term storage solution is identified; another suggested a closet in a municipal building as a possible alternative. The council also discussed publicity and distribution locations: the library, the farmers market, Greater Hudson street fairs and the Hudson Hub app were identified as sites or channels to advertise the exchange. Members agreed to pursue social media posts from the CAC Instagram account and to coordinate distribution dates and tables at local events.
The council also noted a packaging/volume decision: the initial order is a pilot-size batch (about 300 bulbs) to test demand and logistics before expanding the program. Members agreed to finalize promotion plans and to report back on storage and distribution procedures at the next meeting.
Ending: The approved initial order will be received and held in temporary storage; members will propose distribution venues and a publicity plan for review at the next meeting.
