Trustee Uku Village Food Waste Report for January 2025
Feb 9, 2025
**The Village Food Waste Collection Program is now live.** Village residents are invited to sign up at redhookvillage.gov/compost, in person, or by phone/email to the Clerk.
In January, I continued to contribute text and tech – writing copy for the website, the physical shed, and handouts – as well as the backend, making sure the registration Google Form and Google Spreadsheet are always synchronized. The digital battery also ran out of juice early in the month, so I both recharged and set it up to send out alerts before it goes completely offline.
## **Our hauler, Ray Silverman of Laughing Fox Farm, has provided our latest collection data:**
Estimated total volume diverted from landfill since Sept 1, 2025: **1, 884 lbs**

Trustee Uku Village Green Report for January 2026
Feb 9, 2026
The Village Green Committee met on **January 15th 2026 at 6:00 PM** at Village Hall. As you recall, the mayor appointed the committee members by resolution at our January meeting. All terms expire on 12/31/2026.
The Committee has decided on its quarterly meeting schedule, which will be **the third Thursday of the month in which meetings are held.** For 2026, these would be _1/15, 4/16, 7/16, 10/15_ **.** Mayor Smythe advised that once this was reported out, the next step is for the Clerk to put these on the website and calendar.
The committee shared their Task List for January 2026. Of highest priority:
1. **updating the VGC page on the Village website** . I have advised that I will confirm the most expedient way of getting their communications up.
2. **canvass tree locations via postcard outreach** . This would be a complement to the online form I created for residents to place street tree requests. The Committee will return with a design for final Board approval.
Finally, they would like to inform the Board that due to Michelle Decker’s imminent retirement, we will **no longer have a donor for our tree digging needs.**
## **Reminders:**
- **I have set up a Village Street Tree Request Form** . Ask your Clerk (or a neighbor) if a complimentary street tree is right for you. The form can be accessed from the Agenda page for this meeting on the Village website.
- If you have a little free time and want to meet fun neighbors, the Village Green might be just the place for you. Please contact the Clerk, or email **VGC Chair Tara Barrett: hilbarr@gmail.com**
As always, it’s a pleasure to serve this hardworking team.
