TITLE
Update on the Plastic Bag Management Discussion and Community Focus Group
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended to hear final public input from community members who were postponed on January 13, 2015. No further action is requested at this time.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The update will provide Council with preliminary responses to questions asked at the January 13, 2015 City Council meeting and development of the community focus group.
To collect more public input, the Interim City Manager asked seven people, representing various plastic bag management positions, to develop a management recommendation that will be advisory to the Interim City Manager. The focus group is comprised of Kathy Flakus, Madison Ledgerwood, Moran Henn, Judy Sal, Rick Resnick, Rob Wilson and Stuart McDaniel. The group is tasked with developing a recommendation by April 1, 2015.
Staff will return to Council in April 2015 to present a staff recommendation and alternatives. Alternatives will include the Sustainability Commission’s recommendation and the focus group’s recommendation.
