6: Status Updates from leads on goals
1. Neighborhood Cleanup Initiative (Tinku)
a. Sacred heart blueprint community initiative has “thrown a
wrench” into the plan. It is on hold currently.
2. Shared energy manager (Tinku)
a. We got this funding and Wilson engineering has been a
great help for the EV pilot program. We have also
submitted applications for AFIG and EECBG grants.
Grant amount will be a percentage of the vehicle and
infrastructure costs, so it will depend on specific vehicles
and infrastructure. Mayor’s new EV vehicle is included.
3. Warehouse initiative
a. ZONE Allentown comments were officially submitted.
Molly wrote a great article on that. EAC should send out
the schedule for ZONE allentown events such as the
upcoming one at civic theater.

4. Birdtown (Tinku)
a. Veronika is coming up this saturday. Request all members
to attend and bring people. Attendance has been
disappointing at the birdtown events at the library. Need
to increase outreach in order to increase awareness.
5. Communications (Kyle?)
a. Kyle has continued to build the framework google account
for the EAC to serve as a “home base” considering the
ever changing city website and the lack of a centralized
digital database. EAC minutes and agendas and other files
have been organized and saved.
