Member proposes green-event policy ahead of Oktoberfest; committee supports outreach
Summary
A committee member suggested inviting Brandon Knudson of Hilltoppers to discuss reducing event waste and developing a green-event policy; members viewed event waste as a manageable starting point for broader procurement or waste-reduction policies.
A staff member recommended the committee pursue event-waste reduction ahead of the Oktoberfest season and suggested inviting Brandon Knudson of Hilltoppers to speak to the group. "He might be good to have come speak to the, committee and, you know, try to work on a green event policy," the staff member said, noting Hilltoppers has experience reducing waste at events.
Committee members agreed that starting with event waste is a manageable first step rather than pursuing a comprehensive sustainable-procurement policy. They suggested meeting with the mayor or other city officials if the committee needs additional support or visibility. No formal vote was taken; staff were asked to follow up on scheduling the speaker.
