April Thomas Greene Park Event &amp; Outreach Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alexandra shared the flyer for the upcoming Gowanus Spring Festival at Thomas Greene Park, which is an opportunity for outreach. A one-page update on the plans for the Park\u2019s remediation was drafted and shared after the meeting (included in these minutes), which Friends of Thomas Greene Park will make available at the event. It was decided to additionally make available as a handout the <a href=\"https:\/\/gowanuscag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Superfund-Fact-Sheet_250721.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gowanus Superfund Info Sheet<\/a> (also included in these minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alexandra invited CAG members to use the event for outreach, and several members expressed interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.\u00a0Event Posting rubric\u2013are we good with it? Next steps?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CAG website includes announcements about events, and the Outreach Committee was asked to clarify the rules for what\u2019s in- or out-of-scope for posting. We reviewed a decision-making rubric that was generated at our March committee meeting, and it was approved to send to the full CAG for approval (included in these minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the rubric, the Thomas Greene Park event is eligible for posting, but requires a CAG vote. Celeste volunteered to create a Google Form that Jason will use to get a decision from the full CAG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.\u00a0Where are we with the website? Next steps?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Outreach Committee is responsible for updating the CAG website. Celeste shared the details of what is the bottleneck in terms of transferring \u201cownership\u201d and content of the website to a new platform. She shared the Google Drive\u2019s folder where the website material is saved, with the following addresses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7\u00a0<em>Gowanus CAG Outreach Folder:<\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1HjC-sXqNtLcAxE8JO3mLwis_j2krEvaO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1HjC-sXqNtLcAxE8JO3mLwis_j2krEvaO<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7\u00a0<em>Gowanus CAG Outreach Folder\/Outreach Resources\/Website Relaunch:<\/em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1R7Od9R5oxUluaiYZ2Mr9UiUk2K_l1O-A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1R7Od9R5oxUluaiYZ2Mr9UiUk2K_l1O-A<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7\u00a0<em>Approved 2024 CAG Document Outlining Updated Website:<\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1tU0ilJp7z_p0Ov07P98-GlC4JYdcuQ2ZdxbQF7Bq8y4\/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.6hhi9anvwei2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1tU0ilJp7z_p0Ov07P98-GlC4JYdcuQ2ZdxbQF7Bq8y4\/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.6hhi9anvwei2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attendees:\u00a0Jason Schwartzman (Facilitator), Joan Salome-Rodriguez, Alexandra Dadourian, Lisa Bowstead, Erica Eliason, Katie Bishop, Celeste LeCompte 1.
