6)

Unfinished Business (items are for discussion and / or potential action).
a)

Continued Sustainability Plan Monthly Topics from previous months.
1.

Sustainability Coordinator Job Description Update and Discussion.
Rozner reached out to Adrian, the chair of the Stoughton Sustainability
Committee, who said that their committee is currently going through a
reorganization. Rozner is still going to attend their meeting at the end of April. If
Adrian is still on the committee, she can talk to Rozner more; if she is no longer
on the committee, she will pass on contact information for the new chair.
McDaniel said that the Village was recently approached by an organization
[Focus on Energy] about a grant that could potentially fund a coordinator
position, though it offered only short-term funding (one-year, partial funding for
a second year). The organization also reached out to Stoughton. McDaniel had a
brief email exchange with Village President Phil Van Kampen and Village
Administrator Martin Shanks about the grant; the consensus was that the Village
did not want to start the position without knowing funding would be secured for
future years. She also brought up the idea that the position could be funded by the
energy savings; Van Kampen thought that this was a great idea. Overall, Van
Kampen emphasized the importance of finding a permanent, stable way to fund
the position.
Rozner added that Adrian (Stoughton Sustainability Committee) had mentioned
that there was a Focus on Energy grant with an April 30 application deadline and
that the City of Stoughton had reached out to Oregon about it.
Van Kampen would like to have discussions in the future with Stoughton about a
more permanent funding system for the position.
Rozner agreed that temporary grant funding for the position would not be a good
solution but thought we should be more proactive in looking for this type of
grant. McDaniel said it would be good to keep the Focus on Energy grant in mind
for the future.

2.

Clean Sweep Follow Up Discussion – Scheduled for September 14-19th.
McDaniel said that Clean Sweep has a lot of promotional materials we can use
and just adjust as needed. We can follow up on the promotional materials at our
July or August meeting.

3.

Participation in the Madison Area Sponsor Municipal Stormwater Partnership
(MAMSWaP) storm drain sponsorship and mural program.
No update.

4.

Discuss the Green Box Promotion.
Village approved the new contract with Green Box; McDaniel thinks we should
start promoting Green Box. She suggested that a member other than herself reach
out to NBC, Channel 3000, etc. to see if they have interest in covering our
continued partnership with Green Box (for NBC, this could be a follow-up story).
Rozner will contact the media outlets, letting them know that the Village is in its
third year of partnering with Green Box and including details on how much we
have composted, etc. Though we likely will not get a response back, McDaniel
Page 2 of 5

thought it worth reaching out. McDaniel will send the poster about the Green
Box partnership to Village Clerk Candie Jones to post on social media, our
website, and Village screens. Rozner will send her Letter to the Editor about
Green Box to the Observer (her previous letter on native gardens was in the
March 27 Observer). McDaniel suggested reaching out to Oregon Green Box
subscribers for testimonials. Ben Stanger can give us the list of customers, so that
we can send out a mass email to ask for testimonials.
b)

7)

Continuing Education Projects.
1.

Village Utility Benchmark Project Update.
Miller and Village Engineer Rich Koceja toured the Village Hall again. They
were able to find building plans, which helped Miller understand the systems
better. Miller has electrical information but not the gas use, which limits his
evaluation of the building. Koceja gave Miller the go-ahead to talk to the
Village’s mechanical contractor for its control system, potentially allowing
Miller to get more data. Miller would also like to get more
information/mechanical drawings of the police station.

2.

Educational Resources: “How to Save the Planet” – a free Spotify Podcast.
Manske had shared this resource (included in packet). McDaniel has listened to
the podcast and found it interesting and accessible.

New Business (items are for discussion and / or potential action).
a) Sustainability Awards Discussion.
This discussion will be postponed until next month. McDaniel suggested that, in preparation
for the May meeting, members think about how many awards we should give and what the
different types/categories of awards will be. McDaniel would like to give an award to Green
Box’s Ben Stanger and wondered what type of award he would receive. Rozner suggested
thinking of categories, which will help in determining number of awards. For our next
meeting, members should bring 4-5 names of people to recognize and ideas for award
categories.
b) Selection of new Chair.
Due to her demanding work schedule, McDaniel needs to step down as Committee chair.
McDaniel nominated Alissa Rozner as new Chair; Miller seconded the nomination.
McDaniel asked if there were any other nominations; there were none.
The nomination of Alissa Rozner as Chair was approved.
Miller nominated himself as Vice Chair to replace Rozner.
The nomination of Mark Miller as Vice Chair was approved.
c) Veridian Home Development Concept Plan – Sustainability Concerns.
McDaniel reported that the Village Board saw a very preliminary concept plan for a very
large Veridian housing development off Netherwood Road, across the street from Highlands
of Netherwood soccer fields. The preliminary plan was presented to the Village Board
(March meeting minutes) and to the Planning Committee. One of the major concerns is
stormwater management. At the Board meeting, McDaniel asked about sustainability
features; Veridian said they were not far enough along in the process to comment on that.
Karin Davidson of Oregon Nature Alliance had brought concerns about the sustainability of
the development (especially regarding flooding) to Rozner and Gutmanis, hoping that the
Page 3 of 5

Sustainability Committee could advocate for sustainable features in the development.
Gutmanis asked that it be added to the agenda for discussion.
Rozner asked about the best avenue for the Committee to advocate for sustainability in the
project. McDaniel suggested contacting Village Planner Elise Cruz as she is not sure about
the best time/way to get involved in the process. McDaniel suggested having Veridian attend
one of our meetings for a discussion, adding that it would be good for the Committee to get
involved before Veridian gets back to the Planning Commission.
Rozner asked how the Committee can get involved in these discussions, inserting ourselves
into this process more. McDaniel floated a few solutions. One is administrative/statutory (on
the lines of the Park Board’s having to approve any park related to a development before it
moves forward). McDaniel thinks we should talk to Village Planner Elise Cruz to see if
something similar is possible for our committee. Miller wondered if there is some way to
bring forward our sustainability recommendations for a development. McDaniel thought at
the very least we could provide reviews of development plans. In this case, we can reach out
to Veridian and, based on the conversation, pass on our review to the Board.
Rozner asked that McDaniel, as a member of the Village Board, let us know if there is a
Board agenda item that the Committee should have its eyes on. Elise Cruz will
be coming to our June meeting, but McDaniel will reach out to her about our questions about
how best to get involved in development discussions and to let her know that we want to
discuss this with her at our June meeting.
8)

Announcements and Miscellaneous Business.
a)

Committee member reports, announcements, comments, communications, upcoming
meetings and events, and miscellaneous business. Committee members may provide brief
reports or statements, but no discussion or action of the body shall occur.
Miller attended a Sustain Dane presentation and panel discussion on data centers, which
was very well attended and covered many different aspects of the impacts of data centers.
The panel included city officials and academics. Miller has the presentation slides and
video recordings if anyone is interested in them.
Though Oregon doesn’t have a data center planned, McDaniel has spoken with Elise
Cruz about setting clear standards in case the Village were approached.
Rozner has finished her graduate school project, which includes her sustainability survey
of Oregon residents. If members are interested, Rozner will add project slides to the
packet.
McDaniel went to the EV commission meeting. Previously, the Senior Center and Village
Hall had been selected as potential EV charging sites; the commission is revisiting one of
the three Village sites that were denied.

b)

9)

Future agenda items and assignments.
Rozner will add her graduate school presentation to next month’s packet.

Upcoming meeting dates:
a)

Wednesday, May 20, 2026 – Monthly Topic: Video Education Series.

b)

Wednesday, June 17, 2026. McDaniel will be absent. Elise Cruz will attend the meeting.

RE: Veridian & Sustainability
Featherwood Trails - Concept Plan (4.20.26).pdf

Hi Lynn and Alissa,
Great questions. The concept plan has already been updated slightly, based on feedback from Planning
Commission for some more housing diversity. See latest concept plan attached.
If you all have comments to pass along to Veridian, they should be sent sooner rather than later. They are
working on submitting a Preliminary Plat in late May for review at the July Plan Com meeting. After that
point, things start to be fairly set in stone.
If you’d like to send the comments in a letter, email, or notes on the attached concept plan, please just
send them to me. I will forward on to the Veridian development team and can copy you.
Thanks,
Elise Cruz, AICP (She/Her/Hers)

Hello Elise!
I hope your week is off to a great start! In the Sustainability meeting last week, we discussed the Veridian
proposal that came before for the board in a very preliminary manner a few weeks ago. The Sustainability
Committee was wondering if they could provide some suggestions and ideas to Veridian to boost the
sustainability aspects of their proposal. What is the best way for the committee to do this and is this the
appropriate timing for that? Any advice and direction on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
