**Section A: Outcomes (insert addional rows if necessary)**
||Outcome statement||Outcome Measure|
|1|Canvassed residents at a local event (Red Hook<br>Repair Café) to engage interest and assess resident's<br>needs around accessiblity & use.||Municipality's Climate Smart Communities Task Force tabled at the quarterly Repair Café to<br>engage interest in the program and asked if they would take part in the scrap collections<br>program, what would help ease their entry and what are they looking for from a local food<br>waste drop site.|
|2|Developed back-end supports on website -<br>onboarding, and program support||Website drafted with resources on composting, creation of marketing materials educating the<br>public about compost and also the do's and don'ts.|
|3|Onboarded a new internal administrative team for the<br>grant program, due to an unexpected personnel<br>change in our municipality.||While the personnel change created a temporary delay, we able to attract an even better team<br>for our grant implementation. This also created an opportunity for additional civic engagement<br>with village constituents. We discovered our residents include local experts in sustainability<br>and food waste management - a welcome surprise.|
|4<br>5|Advanced our outreach to and information gathering<br>from residents.||We set up tables at 2 local public events - Apple Blossom Day (May 10) and the Red Hook<br>Repair Café (Apr 26). This also allowed us to spread the word organically about our upcoming<br>service. Our village website and seasonal village newsletter also continued to attract interest<br>and signups from residents.|
||Completed crucial procurement and installation goals,<br>engaging our Department of Public Works||We ordered and installed the shed that will host the food waste collection bins, as well as the<br>all-weather digital lock that will secure the shed and grant access only to registered users. The<br>shed now occupies a prominent position in our village parking lot, and will itself generate<br>interest in the program.|

|**1st Quarter:**<br>The Village's CSC Taskforce is working to<br>development education materials, furthermore, CSC is discussing ways to engage the youth of the Village and<br>finding ways to activate them into the Compost program. We are thinking of a call for art from local kids to submit local artwork. This is in the process but its working<br>toward getting our residents aware of the program and educated about what goes into our compost.||||
|**2nd Quarter:**<br> The Village built a better compost grant administration team after a setback. We continued to make progress on outreach to and data collection from<br>constituents. We were also able to advance our time to launch by installing and securing the compost shed in the highly visible village municipal parking lot. Finally, we<br>began the process of identifying and contracting with a food waste hauler.||||
