| Pat Fiorentino | 3: 10 | I am guessing most of you read the article in yesterday's newspaper about the city's growing trash problem. Mayor Watkins wants the city to address the issue right away, and he wants us to put together a list of recommendations to present at the next council meeting. Are there any initial thoughts? |
| Vickie Hill | 3:11 | I think a media campaign would be helpful. We can focus on the concepts of reducing, reusing, and recycling. |
| Lloyd Medrano | 3:12 | Sounds great. I couldn't agree more. But I also think we need to provide more containers to dispose of trash, especially in public areas and parks. The sanitation department has complained about a shortage. |
| Marcella Sanders | 3:13 | They also say they're understaffed. We could hire more employees, but the difficult part is figuring out how to pay for everything |
| Dennis Kang | 3:15 | As long as you can come up with a solid plan of action, I can figure out how to supply the funding. |
| Pat Fiorentino | 3:15 | Thanks, Dennis. That will be a great help. OK, so I'd like us to meet tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m. in conference room 3. We will have a brainstorming session, so write out your ideas and recommendations. Will that be a problem for anyone? |
| Lloyd Medrano | 3:16 | That works for me. I have a meeting at 4 p.m., though. Will we be done by then? |
| Dennis Kang | 3:16 | I'll be free. Maybe we should get the head of the sanitation department to come as well. |
| Marcella Sanders | 3:17 | I have the day off tomorrow, but I'll send some ideas to you by e-mail before I leave today. |
| Pat Fiorentino | 3:17 | We should be, Lloyd. Yes, Dennis, that's an excellent suggestion, so I'll give Edith Holmes a call right now. Thanks, Marcella. |
