Kelly Cresswell: Thanks, AZ!
Matt Elsaesser, 406 Recycling/406 Compost: 406 Compost, http://www.406compost.com/, which collections food waste for composting (meat, bones, compostable dishware too) has its first drop-off site in place! That is a bucket exchange program for rural customers including homes in wildlife areas who want to keep organics out of their trash. Location is Good Samaritan!
Molly Kruckenberg: The project website for the Montana Heritage Center is https://montanamuseum.org. There's a great fly-through video of the renderings of the building available on the website.
Sean Logan: Thanks Gabrielle. Brian Kahn would be busting at the seams with pride!
Emily McVey United Way: Emails went out for the Community Health Improvement Plan Survey. If you got that email please complete the survey. If you will not be able to fill it out please pass it along to someone else in your office or area of expertise/interest to complete.

Katie Gallagher (St Petes Health): FDA and CDC approved the Pfizer vaccine for youth 12-15! Encore first dose drive thru event at fairgrounds for anyone 12+ at fairgrounds from 8-12 this Saturday, May 15. Appointments on the County’s vaccine hub!
Nikki Andersen: what do you anticipate the increase in your infrastructure investment budget will be in the next year or two?
Jayson O'Neill: The West is facing severe drought, low water supplies, and warmer and warmer temps due to climate change. How is the park preparing for the new reality that will likely see more devastating fires? What is YNP doing to mitigate the parks climate impacts?
Jayson O'Neill: Thank you!

Matt Elsaesser, 406 Recycling/406 Compost: Great job!
Hugh McWhorter’s iPad: Several years ago I visited Denali Park, a park that does not permit passenger vehicle access. All access by buses equipped with magnifying visual equipment. There was absolutely no congestion. Is such an approach feasible in Yellowstone
Matt Elsaesser, 406 Recycling/406 Compost: Really cool programs by YNP! One is recycling the green propane bottles. They have driven recycling and other green efforts for the region, not just their boundary!
Bruce Whittenberg: Thank you, Supt. Sholley.
Ed Beall: Thanks for the great job you are doing! Send everyone to Helena!
