Waste Management Policy Work Group

[Leslie Pool]

Colleagues, relating to our discussion on item 40 at today's meeting, and in advance of sending the work group's report, I'd like to direct you to the website for agendas and videos of the many meetings held with stakeholders to review the policy issues relating to our waste disposal policy and the City's Anti-Lobbying Ordinance. I note that the handouts are not on this site; we've asked staff to upload those presentations, including a full list of the stakeholders and their affiliations (there were easily a couple dozen around the table at each meeting, not counting CMs), to the site for a complete record.

I anticipate finalizing the report by the end of the month, and will upload it to the website and post it on the Message Board. Additionally, I've asked ACM Robert Goode to email it to MAC distribution.

My thanks to James Scarborough, Purchasing Officer, and ACM Goode; CMs Alter, Garza, and Kitchen; and especially our staff members - Alba, Ken, Jackie and Amy - for participating in, supporting and guiding this effort.
My thanks, too, to the Council for sending this assignment my way.

Thanks.

Leslie
