It's too big of a challenge to say that there's one thing (lacking) and if we just did that, it would fix it.

I understand the need for a countywide plan. But is there a larger cost up the road rather than just a one-time cost. I'm concerned $30,000 is only the beginning.

Noise is a real issue. This is kind of like putting a mini-convention center and dropping it in the middle of a residential area.

You don't wait until you show up on the first day (of middle school) and expect someone's going to tell you what to do.

It's a significant challenge. There really isn't anything else like it. We are inventing something new.

We think it's going to be a challenge this year but it's a great first step that Picnic Day is collaborating with us. We give them a lot of credit for the zero-waste program.
