Title

Subject: Communication from Alder Land and Alder Meekma requesting a resolution supporting the “Zero Waste Initiative” And Committing to Responsible and Sustainable Solid Waste Management Planning and Practices.

Recommendation of the Public Works and Services Committee on 07-09-19: Approve a resolution supporting the “Zero Waste Initiative” And Committing to Responsible and Sustainable Solid Waste Management Planning and Practices, with amending Line #9 of the resolution to read:

WHEREAS, with the shared understanding that local government, inspired by community involvement, is ultimately responsible for leading by example and establishing policies and criteria needed to eliminate waste, so that residents, manufacturers, and businesses produce and sell materials that can be safely reused, recycled or composted; and,

Fiscal Note:  The implementation of more environmentally sustainable solid waste management practices should in no way have a negative impact on the City’s budget, and, instead will likely decrease the long term costs associated with collecting and disposing of solid waste.
