BDC members seek county trash-service details, propose advocacy language and recruit Aging in Place volunteers
Summary
During new business BDC members asked county trash-collection questions and were directed to county staff, a board member proposed adding advocacy language to the BDC one-pager and was asked to draft wording, and volunteers were sought to sustain the Aging in Place program.
At the Dec. 21 Braddock District Council meeting, new business centered on neighborhood services and internal outreach. Scott Leitch asked how residents could obtain more information about potential changes to county trash collection and whether launching a petition would be worthwhile. Sally Kidalov of Supervisor Walkinshaw's office recommended Leitch contact Joon Park in Walkinshaw's office for current information and noted there is a waiting list for communities seeking county trash services.
Mike Perel suggested adding a statement to the BDC's one-pager affirming that the council may advocate for legislation, citing the bylaws. Sarah Lennon, BDC vice chair, asked Perel to provide draft language for the board to consider.
Chair Bob Cosgriff said new volunteers are needed to sustain the council's Aging in Place program. Sarah Lennon proposed asking Bruce Wallachy to write a short paragraph describing the volunteer duties so the board and Supervisor Walkinshaw's office could publicize the need via the BDC website and social media.
No formal motion or vote on these items was recorded; the transcript shows follow-up steps assigned to individuals to gather information and draft language for future consideration.
