“I'll figure it out. So as I'm winding up to ask for a motion to adjourn, I just hope that the... Can I ask another question after we adjourn, just on the process of the election and stuff? If it's outside the purview of this. I think so. I hope that our discussions are not seen as an attack. We're ready to roll up our sleeves and help in whatever way. And just see it as an opportunity to engage with the community in a more meaningful way in terms of resource stewardship and align that with the practices we have.”

“So I will share. I have a hard stop at 1245. So as we get to items, there's some must review items. So If it's okay with the clerk, we will adjust any order as we need to as we go through.”

“All in favor, aye. All right, catching on. Okay, I was advised that our town commission liaison is unavailable, so don't hold your breath for a report. Anything around the room? There are no members of the public, so we will consider public comment over. Next is approval of the minutes.”

“This is just minor edits. So the Vice Mayor suggested having composting in town as opposed to in town and limiting partnership to one company. So I take that as it is. And the other relates to the final walk and talk that could be done with the city's director.”

“Okay, awesome. So we did move the agenda deadline dates up, and of course, if you want to introduce this item.”

“All in favor, aye. Aye. All right, after many, many months, the next item is we forwarded resources to every bottle back initiative. We received the agenda package over the last couple of months. The cover memo has not changed. The guidance that we were given is this really should be carried forward to the town commission with a recommendation from this committee. And that's exactly what I'm looking for. I don't want to tell the commission whether it should be a resolution or something else. motion to complete the endorsement form and prepare a resolution and place it on the agenda for the…”

“Second. So for discussion, there's also an opportunity to tie this together with an improvement program for the town, which Waste Management has offered to support in spirit, if not in deeds, and also work collaboratively with the town and the Florida Beverage Association to secure a grant for labeling for our recycling carts. Yeah, I think that sums up pretty well.”

“Yeah, if you could send it to the clerk and then transmit that. Okay. So if you could send it to Vice Mayor Paul, he can copy the commission and the town manager and the town attorney so that they're aware. and let them know if they have any questions, they can reach out to Flood and Beverage Association, Waste Management, or a member of this committee.”

“We absolutely want to take advantage of the innovation that you've implemented. And as a separate activity, we'll bring it back before this committee, is to really push forward with the improvement opportunities within town, town operations, engagement with those who live in multifamily properties and in single-family homes. It would be nice if we could bring a group to your new facility. Sure, sure. And just... Let it be a full court press. It's just been sitting too long and. I think there was a motion in a second.”

“I don't want to presume. It seems reasonable, but it would really be up to the town manager to decide how best to implement it. Again, we'll bring back an agenda item that focuses on the opportunity to improve both the town operations and the behaviors of the folks in town that are placing their own recycling carts.”

“Bye-bye. The agreements do not specify a prohibition against single-use plastics. There's many instances where there's wills and shoulds rather than shalls, and if we want it to be a requirement, it has to be shalled. um for some of the food some of the events that have food it does not require composting of the food whether they do it themselves or they contract there's a lot of opportunity for improvement so in the city of orlando was one of the go-bys in terms of guidance they have checklists for event organizers for vendors Rather than going through each of those elements now, I would ask…”

“Yeah, I would go through the three. I would go through the contracts and identify what you see. And again, to me, it was pretty simple. It relates to single-use plastics. It could be requirements for service wear items. It's also a best practice if somebody is going to host an event that they prepare a solid waste plan as part of their submittal. We don't want to add burden to the town administration. but for to be the steward to make sure that the right actions are in place. So for the next meeting, if you could go through the checklist, identify what you think is reasonable, and if this…”
