Corte Madera committee weighs July events, student outreach and a chair transition
Summary
Members debated staffing at Fourth of July and a September car show, planned outreach materials for electrification, discussed replacing a student ambassador, and acknowledged a forthcoming chair election as the current chair announced this would be their last meeting.
Committee members reviewed near‑term outreach and governance items, including volunteer needs for the town’s Fourth of July booth, participation at the Lions Club car show on Sept. 12, student engagement for the waste committee, and leadership changes ahead of the fiscal‑year start.
On events, staff asked members to sign up for two shifts at the Fourth of July event; without volunteers the committee will not have a table. Members considered leaving posters and handouts with another table or relying on Parks & Rec staff presence. The car show, scheduled for Sept. 12, typically draws fewer attendees; the committee discussed using focused messaging (public EV chargers) and QR codes to direct people to resources.
On outreach, the committee finalized an electrification poster and newsletter article; staff reported the poster is displayed at the community center and the permit center, and noted the library renovation will temporarily affect displays. The waste subcommittee reported about 55 attendees at a recent low‑water‑use landscaping table event and discussed finding a replacement student ambassador to work with Zero Waste Marin and Redwood High School on sorting projects.
Personnel and governance items included thanks to departing member Britney for her service and a speaker’s announcement that this will be their last meeting as chair; the committee plans to elect a new chair and vice chair at the July meeting. The July agenda will introduce a new youth member appointed by the council, review ad hoc subcommittees and include updates on EV‑related work plan items such as fleet electrification and public chargers.
No formal votes were taken on these items at the meeting; members asked staff to confirm event logistics and to bring updates and a chair election to the July meeting.
