Mr. Wagner agreed that larger recycling carts be made available. He asked Ms. <br />Shields-Benford to check into whether the waxed cartoons are now recyclable. Mr. <br />Wagner liked the door hanger idea as a way of re-enforcing the single stream idea. <br />Mr. Price liked the idea of educating the school children who would then encourage the <br />practice at home too. <br />Mr. Crow suggested that the single stream recycling educational information be put into <br />the new citizen welcome package. He also suggested the door knocking campaign be <br />civic minded with the use of local scouts and done on days when recycling was <br />scheduled. That way it would be easy to tell which houses they need to go to and which <br />ones could be skipped. <br />Mr. Glickert said he felt any campaign program be kept only to U City in specific. <br />Mr. Price moved the Single Stream Recycling Strategy be adopted with economic <br />backing to come and was seconded by Mr. Sharpe, Jr. The agreement was unanimous. <br />Mr. Wagner asked Ms. Shields-Benford to prioritize the educational promotion <br />strategies to the Council.The budget will have been passed then and it will be clearer <br />the availability of funding. <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS <br />Richard Dockett, 6844 Crest Ave <br />Mr. Dockett agreed on the importance of recycling and the need to educate people to its <br />value. He stated that many people need to be educated as to just what single-stream <br />means and why it is beneficial. <br />Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel <br />Ms. Glickert felt education was needed in the area of recycling. She noted that there <br />are only two residents on her block that recycle. Ms. Glickert suggested the use of <br />bulletin boards in public places to get out the message. She also suggested going back <br />four months and send out a welcome package with recycling information and free <br />passes to all who registered for occupancy permits. Ms. Glickert stated that the cart is <br />very inconvenient to roll out to the front of their houses. She would like to see it picked <br />up in the alley. Ms. Glickert felt that newspaper advertising would not reach the majority <br />in University City but door hangers placed by the scouts would be very effective. <br />Debra Jones, 6720 Bartmer <br />Ms. Jones suggested that recycling pick-up be free and any trash to be picked up <br />require bags with purchased stickers. It would encourage citizens to recycle rather than <br />buying stickers for a trash bags. <br />J. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />K. NEW BUSINESS <br />Ms. Ricci stated she and Mr. Wagner have asked the City Clerk to remove all bills <br />dealing with compensation for City employees. She stated that there was an issue with <br />this request and Mr. Mulligan expressed an opinion that these bills cannot be removed <br /> <br />
