A. Recycling and Compost Giveaway Events
Referencing a PowerPoint presentation included in the agenda packet, staff Jarland reviewed the Recycling and Compost Giveaway events. The Office of Emergency Management assisted with traffic direction and flow due to the volume of people. By 11:30 a.m., the trucks for recycling were completely full. They had about 1,300 cars in total and about 25,000 lbs. of paper recycled and shredded. Brief discussion.
B. Recycling Event Costs and Benefits
Referencing a presentation included in the agenda packet, staff Jarland covered the costs, revenue, and funding for recycling. She said document shredding has been their largest expense. She suggested separating the electronic recycling and the paper shredding to minimize traffic volume for next year.
Anderson provided an overview of the 2019 budget. He explained funds from the River Boat and Landfill are used to pay for events and staff. Davoust pointed out they currently depend on non- recurring revenue. He suggested they research other options for future events.
Wegman requested a breakdown of costs and staff hours spent on events to present at a future meeting. Jarland noted the plastic bag user fee will be implemented next year. A fee of $0.05 will be charged per bag with $0.02 going to the County. The revenue will go towards the recycling program.
C. Recycling and Hauler Licensing Ordinance Revisions Draft
Referencing a presentation included in the agenda packet, staff Jarland reviewed edits and updates for the old language on the recycling and hauling ordinance.
