It was agreed that levels of sponsorship will be spelled out on the T-Shirts, and that sponsors in
the Silver, Gold, and Platinum categories will be cited on the T-Shirt. Platinum sponsor logos
must be prominent, and will be used on the T-Shirt; Silver and Gold sponsors will not have logos
on the T-Shirt, only text. Bronze sponsors will be in noted in the goodie-bags, and possibly on
the banner.
Mr. Fraietta has compiled a list of media and press contacts .
IV. EDUCATION SUBCOMMITTEE
Goals
Mr. Gehr read the Goals discussed by the Education Subcommittee . Discussion addressed topics
such as:
• Get the KEB and the schools to work on a joint project;
• Address the lack of centralized information on recycling;
• Make recycling convenient ;
• Target areas with rec ycling low participation ;
• Upgrade the KEB link on the City's web-site , or the
• Possible development ofKEB 's own web page.
The ide a of having businesses sponsor magnets was discussed; it is a way to get the KEB website
link out there (publici z ed?) without using paper.
Mr. Fraietta suggested people could be enticed to visit the website by offering a price to a spe-
cific visitor -the 15th person to visit , for ex ample.
Ms. Wolosyn and Mr. Woodward are working on having a KEB month or week, to be designated
by the City Council.
Mr. Gorsky expressed concern regarding the time spent on topics during the course of meetings.
He does not want to see one topic slighted in discussion because too much time was devoted to
another topic . Mr. Crotty pointed out that Commissions approach goals incrementally, and is-
sues can be worked on concurrently.
