Mary Winkler. There were not enough Commission members present at the April 21 meeting to have a quorum. The following is a summary of the informal discussion that occurred on the 21 st. The focus of discussion was on the addition of scrap metal to the recycling program. While ARC Disposal indicated scrap metal could be added to the recycling program the Commission members had difficulty establishing any guidelines or what materials should be collected. It was recommended that the subject be discussed with ARC at the next meeting between ARC and Public Works staff. The preparation of corrugated cardboard for curbside collection was also discussed. ARC Disposal would like the material to be cut and/or folded into brown paper bags. The Commission questioned why the material could not be bundled. Deputy Director Andler stated he would ask ARC about preparation requirements. The Commission members discussed changes to the Recycling Display to be exhibited at the Open House. The Solid Waste Coordinator will work with Public Works staff on updating the display based on the Commissioners' recommendations. A schedule for manning the recycling booth was established for the members present. The Solid Waste Coordinator will contact the other members regarding their attendance at the Open House. There being no further discussion the meeting was closed.
