A
All
right
welcome
everybody.
It
is
september
9th
2021,
and
this
is
the
subcommittee
on
waste
reduction
of
the
sustainability
commission
here
in
palm
springs
and
present
we
have
patrick
talarico
and
tracy
sheldon
from
the
city
of
palm
springs.
A
We
have
folks
from
palm
springs
disposal,
services
chris
and
liz,
and
then
we
have
our
commission
members
roy
clark
and
don
barrett,
and
we
will
let
jake
in
if
he
joins
us
a
little
bit
later
and
we
have
our
visiting
former
commission
member
robert
mccann.
This
is
joining
us
as
well,
so
welcome
everybody
I'll
keep
an
eye
on
the
room
to
see
if
anybody
else
joins
us
so
wanted
to
go
through
a
few
updates
on
our
call
today,.
A
All
right,
so
anybody
have
any
changes
or
additions
to
the
agenda.
A
Okay,
all
right,
so
we
wanted
to
update
you
on
a
couple
of
big
items.
So
one
is
the
disposable
food
wear
and
plastics
waste
reduction
ordinance
status.
So,
as
you
all
know,
the
council
passed
that
ordinance
in
july
we
have
been.
A
We
have
recently
issued
a
request
for
proposal
from
consultants
to
assist
us
with
the
implementation
of
that
ordinance.
We
have
received
some
responses
and
we
are
going
to
evaluate
those
responses
and
probably
make
a
selection
next
week.
A
So
we
hope
to
have
somebody
on
board
to
help
us
implement
that
in
the
next
few
weeks,
so
by
the
end
of
the
month,
we're
hoping
to
have
that
person
or
people
on
board
pretty
excited
about
having,
though
access
to
that
resource,
because
as
we're
seeing
each
one
of
these
restaurants
and
food
vendors
is
an
individual
case
and
needs
their
own
individual
attention.
A
So
we're
looking
forward
to
having
somebody
on
board
who
can
reach
out
to
them
and
do
follow-up,
do
research
et
cetera,
so
so
anyway,
so
we
look
forward
to
having
them
on
board
included
in
the
scope
of
work
for
that
person
or
people
are
things
like
conducting
direct
outreach
with
businesses
providing
them
with
technical
assistance.
If
they
need
research
done
on
alternative
products,
they
can
do
that.
If
they
need
analyses
done
on
food,
wear
reusable
food
wear
options,
then
they
can
do
that.
A
They
can
also
help
us
with
messaging
and
outreach
and
communication
to
not
only
businesses
but
also
the
public,
so
pretty
broad
scope
of
work.
We
also
included
in
that
assistance
with
sb
1383
implementation,
so
it
also
covers
potentially
food
food
waste
questions.
So
I
think
most
of
the
people
that
responded
have
some
skill
in
both
of
those
areas.
So
so
again
we
look
forward
to
having
that
resource
available
to
us
as
we
go
forward.
A
We
have
completed
a
fact
sheet
for
the
ordinance
and
actually,
let
me
try
to
pull
that
up.
Show
it
to
you
guys,
send
it
around
afterwards.
A
So
this
is
the.
A
Yeah
I
found
I
found
it
in
my
email,
so
I
I
think
this
is
the
final
proof,
so
I
think
I
don't
think
it
changed
after
this,
but
this
just
gives
you
an
example
of
what
we're
pulling
together
for
the
restaurants,
so
having
stuff
very
clearly
stated
that
this
is
what
you
do
by
january,
1st
2022,
so
reusables
for
on-site
dining,
condiments,
reusable
packaging.
A
And
then
provide
accessories
only
one
wanted
that's
the
other
big
one
and
then
stop
using
certain
things,
so
the
plastic
bags
and
the
polystyrene
and
the
plastic
straws
and
stirs
so
hopefully
that'll
be
clear
for
folks
and
then
on.
The
back
is
the
january
1st
2023
information,
so
only
fiber-based,
disposable,
food,
wear
and
accessories,
and
also
information
about
our
assistance
that
we
can
provide
and
information
about
exemptions
if
they
feel
like
they
are
entitled
to
one.
A
So
so
we're
and
tracy
have
we
sent
this
out
yet
I
don't
know
that
we've
sent
it
out
yet
we're
creating
not.
A
So
we're
about
to
send
this
out
to
to
restaurants
and
food
vendors,
we're
trying
to
make
a
second
document
for
them
that
also
talks
about
food
waste
requirements
and
recycling
requirements.
So
it'll
have
everything
kind
of
on
one
page:
food
wear
food
waste,
all
the
things
that
they
have
to
comply
with
here
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
So
that
is
our
plan
for
that.
A
Okay,
all
right
well
we're
going
to
keep
moving
forward
with
that.
Our
next
big
step
with
that
is
to
coordinate
with
the
chamber,
and
we
are
planning
on
hosting
a
an
event
for
restaurants
and
food
vendors
to
introduce
them
to
the
ordinance
and
kind
of
get
them
moving
in
the
right
direction.
A
We've
already
had
several
phone
calls
and
a
few
emails
from
people
asking
what
they
need
to
do
to
comply,
so
so,
at
least
it's
the
word
is
getting
out
there.
A
So
that's
it
on
that
front,
1383,
planning,
update
and
so
don.
I
don't
know
how
familiar
you
are
with
1383,
but
1383
is
a
new
state
law
that
goes
into
effect
january
1st
of
2022.
A
A
So,
essentially,
we
have
been
meeting
with
psds,
pretty
much
weekly
for
the
last
few
months
to
go
through
the
franchise
agreement
and
update
that
material
and
so
we're
getting
close
to
having
a
draft
to
to
work
from
we've
kind
of
addressed
a
lot
of
the
scope
issues
that
we
have
and
tried
to
kind
of
lay
out
various,
oh
jake's
here
and
to
lay
out
various
operating
procedures
in
terms
of
how
things
are
going
to
be
collected,
how
we're
going
to
monitor
compliance
and
how
we're
going
to
enforce
so
so
anyway.
A
So
there's
a
lot
going
on
on
that
front
and
we'll
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
work.
We've
got
meetings
scheduled
with
council
throughout
the
rest
of
the
year
to
talk
about
the
franchise
agreement,
update
to
talk
about
new
rates
and
to
talk
about
the
ordinance
that
we
have
to
develop.
So
our
agenda
with
council
is
pretty
full
for
the
rest
of
the
year,
based
in
large
part
on
the
materials
that
come
through
this
particular
effort.
A
B
A
Okay,
yes,
so
that's
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
is
how
to
service
all
of
those
different
types
of
multi-family
dwellings,
and
we
heard
your
message
last
time
about
the
mobile
home
parks
as
well,
so
making
sure
that
we
take
those
into
consideration
too
sort
of
like
the
disposable
food
ware
issue.
This
is
a
very
individualized
sort
of
conversation
with
a
lot
of
these
different
types
of
multi-family
units.
A
Has
a
little
bit
different
system
and
different
little
procedures
and
different
space
capabilities,
and
things
like
that,
so
we
are
actually
hosting
a
meeting
on
september
23rd
with
hoas
and
multi-families
clients
that
pst
has
provided
us
with
contact
information
for
so
we
sent
out
a
letter
to
all
of
them
gosh.
I
think
it
was
two
weeks
ago
a
week
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
or
something
like
that
and
we
hope
to
engage
them
in
a
conversation
around
the
changes
that
we
expect
that
they
will
experience
on
the
multi-family
front.
B
Okay
and
like
mobile
home
parks,
aren't
hoas
and
they're
included
in
that,
though,
in
some
way,.
A
Yes
yep,
so
they
should
have
also
gotten
a
letter
and
in
fact
I
think
we
got
we
did.
Actually.
We
got
got
a
note
back
from
the
sahara
mobile
home
park,
so
they
did
get
a
letter,
so
they
are
on
that
list.
Yeah.
B
Sahara
is
one
of
the
most
responsible.
I
I
know
if,
if
it's
a
vinnie
hop
at
any
point
in
the
future,
I
know
something
about
many
of
the
other
mobile
home
parks,
not
all
of
them,
but
okay
feel
free
to
feel
free
to
check.
B
A
I
think
the
biggest
challenge
that
we're
going
to
have
with
regard
to
multifamily
is
going
to
be
space
issues.
Quite
honestly,
oh
yeah.
We've
got
a
lot
of
folks
that
don't
have
very
big
trash,
bins
or-
or
you
know,
bins
or
I'm
sorry
enclosures
for
their
trash
bins.
So
they
don't
have
a
lot
of
extra
space.
A
So
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
hope
to
talk
about
on
the
call,
because,
unfortunately,
that
may
may
not
get
them
an
exemption
under
this
law,
the
state
has
been
pretty
clear
that
they
are
reserving
those
space
exemptions
for
people
that
really
have
no
space,
and
so
we're
gonna
have
to
all
think
creatively
about
how
we
address
kind
of
some
of
those
space
issues
for
a
lot
of
those
locations.
B
Space
at
the
collection
point
in
the
residency
or
space
in
the
home
itself.
A
It's
both
actually
so
so
in
a
lot
of
the
properties,
they
don't
have
a
very
big
trash
enclosure,
and
so
we
have
to
figure
out
how
to
do
with
those.
But
we
don't
in
mine
yeah,
but
there's
also
places
that
don't
have
a
lot
of
space
for
individual
units
to
store
things
right.
A
So
we
have
to
think
about
that
too,
and
pscs
is
working
hard
on
thinking
through
those
scenarios
and
and
so
chris
one
thing
that
I'd
like
to
do
in
that
presentation
on
the
23rd
is
kind
of
run
through
a
few
of
those
scenarios
that
we
anticipate
and
what
that
might
look
like
for
for
them.
So
so
anyway.
So
that's
like
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
that
info
ready
to
go.
C
D
Yeah
hi
sorry,
I
was
late.
First
of
all,
I
was
having
connectivity
issues,
but
one
thing
I
was
going
to
mention
or
not,
but
however
one
thing
I
was
going
to
mention
them
like
where
I've
done
a
lot
of
waste
reduction
work.
D
Is
that
it
also
when
we
start
thinking
about
the
future
of
containers
needed
for
collection,
I
mean,
obviously,
we
have
really
big
sort
of
rubbish
bins
today,
but
that's
largely
because
there's
you
know
mixed
materials
in
there,
not
future
resources,
and
so
therefore,
there's
always
a
reprioritization
of
the
space.
That's
already
dedicated
for
this,
because
it's
not
like
anything,
that's
ending
up
in
these
areas
of
the
in
the
collection
sites.
It's
different
material,
it's
just
being
organized
differently,
so
I
think
there
when
we
create
space
around
crying
of
future
plan.
D
It's
reminding
people
that
yeah,
because
I
think
also
using
the
visual
of
having
a
smaller
rubbish
bin
versus
a
larger
recycling
bin
and
a
larger
collection.
Then,
for
you
know
our
resource
recovery
around
composting,
like
that's,
always
a
really
great
visual,
because
then
obviously
it
also
gives
you
the
sense
of
like.
Where
do
I
put
it?
So
I
just
if
you
weren't
already
thinking
about
that
in
terms
of
planning,
I
think
that's
something
to
also
reassure
people
that
it's
not
about
claiming
new
space,
it's
more
about
reappropriating
the
space,
it's
already
dedicated
for
collection.
A
Right
yeah
we've
been
trying
to
convey
that
message
when
we
go
out
to
do
some
of
the
site
visits
that
we've
been
doing,
especially
for
some
of
the
commercial
businesses
like
the
hotels
and
that
kind
of
thing
they've
got
two
big
giant
dumpsters,
but
a
lot
of
the
one
dumpster
is
full
of
stuff
that
could
be
in
a
different
type
of
container,
so
so
we're
trying
to
encourage
them
to
swap
those
out
and
downsize
where
they
can
so
yep
so
and
that,
in
fact,
that
would
be
a
good
one.
A
A
good
example
to
share
perhaps
with
them
during
that
meeting
on
the
23rd
is
to
maybe
have
a
downsized
waste
container
and
a
bigger
you
know,
recycling
container
or
something
like
that.
So.
A
So
so
that's
where
we
are
with
that,
I
I
think
we're
generally
on
schedule
right
now.
I
think
the
main
thing
that
we're
struggling
with
is
is
going
to
be,
of
course,
equipment
lead
times.
So
it's
going
to
take
a
while
for
some
of
the
new
trucks
and
some
of
the
new
equipment
to
come
in,
but
we're
hoping
that,
as
of
january
1st,
we
will
be
able
to
at
least
tell
the
people
that
currently
have
organic
service,
like
their
green
yard,
waste
container
that
they
can
start
putting.
A
Food
waste
in
there
in
some
form
or
fashion,
so
that's
our
our
fingers
are
crossed
for
that.
It
depends
on
whether
or
not
this
eden
hill
facility
opens.
That's
gonna,
accept
that
material,
so
so
we're
we're
keeping
our
fingers
crossed
that
that's
going
to
be
possible,
then
the
other
piece
of
that
is
that.
A
Oh
so
the
other
thing
I
was
going
to
mention
to
you
chris
in
particular,
is
we
had
a
meeting
of
my
counterparts
in
the
other
cities
gosh.
It
was
as
well.
I
was
on
vacation
and
we
talked
about
the
desire
by
burtak,
who
is
the
ultimate
processor
of
all
of
our
green
waste
and
recyclable
material,
a
desire
by
them
to
have
us
bag
or
have
people
bag,
their
organic
or
their
food
waste.
A
C
I
know
that's
something
that
that
was
a
big
contradictory.
What
palm
springs
was
trying
to
tell
residents,
but
at
the
same
time,
if
that
helps
that
facility
clean
that
material,
but
keep
it
separate
and
get
the
ratios
right
right
composting,
it's
probably
they're,
probably
gonna.
Stick
to
that.
A
Right
so
when
we
were
bertac
was
actually
on
the
phone
when
we
were
talking
and
they
I.
I
don't
know
that
we
came
up
with
a
conclusion
to
that
conversation.
A
There
was
strong
pushback
by
some
of
the
other
cities
that
they
didn't
want
to
tell
people
to
put
especially
to
put
things
into
plastic
bags,
because
that's
kind
of
counter
to
what
we
tell
them
about
their
recycling.
So
there
was
some
concern
about
that.
There
was
some
talk
about
giving
out
like
the
right
kind
of
bags,
even
though
they're
not
going
to
get
composted,
maybe
clear
bags,
or
something
like
that.
So
so
there
was
some
talk
about
what
kinds
of
bags
we
might
recommend
or
paper
bags,
or
things
like
that
so
anyway.
A
So
I
think
that
that
conversation
is
still
happening
and
I'm
not
quite
sure
where
it's
going
to
land,
although
on
the
one
hand
it
does
keep
materials
cleaner.
If,
if
we
put
them
in
bags
inside
the
green
bin
it
it
also
does
sort
of
create
a.
C
A
Messaging
thing:
where
we're
telling
people
to
put
stuff
into
bags
and
when
we
don't
really
want
them
to
do
that
elsewhere,
so
so
anyway,
so
I
think
that's
that's
where
we
are
in
that
conversation
and
again
it's
still
evolving
and
we'll
see
how
how
things
shake
out.
C
Okay,
yeah.
I
I
think
that
what
we
can
do
is
you
know
as
we're
developing
some
education
and
as
we're
finalizing
the
scope
and
know
how
we're
going
to
educate
what
we're
going
to
put
on
our
our
flyers
and
reading
material.
We'll
just
kind
of
leave
that
just
to
the
last
minute,
because
I'm
sure
we're
gonna
get
a
last
minute
decision.
A
Agree:
yeah
jake.
D
Hi
another
question
so
regarding
bags
in
the
containers
so
we're
discouraging
from
the
green
composting
bags.
Obviously,
since
those
break
down
and
likely,
they
wouldn't
really
be
able
to
be
solid
by
the
time
they're
all
combined.
But
could
we
use
that
so.
A
C
And
the
problem
they
have
with
that
just
to
add
to
that
is
that
some
stuff
is
certified.
Some
is
not.
They
can't
tell
some
of
this
stuff
doesn't
break
down
in
that
90-day
process
that
they
need.
Some
of
it
breaks
down
much
much
longer
so
to
go
through
that
and
test
each
one.
It's
just
counter
too
yeah.
A
Yeah
that
was
sort
of
the
gist
of
our
our
other
conversation
that
we
had
about
the
bags
is
that
you
know,
should
we
be
recommending
a
certain
type
of
bag
and
it's?
If
so,
what
would
that
be?
And
so,
but
but
ultimately
it
came
down
to
the
fact
that
vertex
is
going
to
just
break
it
open
and
get
the
stuff
out,
and
they
couched
it
also
as
a
contamination,
an
opportunity
for
them
to
monitor
for
contamination
as
well.
A
A
I
think
so
they
said
that
those
would
sort
of
end
up
breaking
down
in
the
process,
so
I
I
we
did
throw
that
out
there
and
I
think
they
were
not
opposed
to
that
that
one
gets
a.
I
think
it
could
get
a
little
bit
tricky
because
the
bag
will
get
wet,
potentially
and
break
in
the
process.
So
again,
I'm
not
sure
how
how
intact
they
need
for
that
bag
to
be
at
the
end.
So.
D
And
would
they
be
because
it
seems
like
if
it's
a
fiber,
then
it
could
potentially
serve
as
a
similar
type
of
like
yard
waste
fiber.
That
would
then
be
added
as
part
of
the
the
ratios
needed
for
wet
to
brown,
waste
or
material
that
goes
into
combo.
A
A
Right,
you
know,
I
think
it's
always
going
to
be
the
same
collection
bin
and
chris
when
we
were
to
start
we
one
of
the
things
we
started
to
talk
about,
because
we
have
such
a
variety
of
different
multi-family
complexes,
in
particular
with
different
space
issues.
C
Well,
I've
we're
we've
got
a
couple
thoughts
on
that,
so
it
would
be
just
food
waste
right,
the
two
and
a
half
gallon
kale,
which
was
yeah
I
was
talking
about,
but
we
food
waste
home
and
it
would
be
collected
along
with
the
commercial
source
separated
food
waste
right.
So
we
already
have
that
source
separated.
C
That
would
probably
go
into
that.
But
there's
if,
depending
on
what
vertex
does,
if
they're
going
to
allow
plastic
bags,
I
guess
it
would
just
it
would
depend
if
there's
a
rear
loading.
B
A
Jake
there
could
be
instances
where
people
would
have
just
an
individual
food
waste
container.
But
again
I
think
we
were
thinking
that
that
would
be
a
subset
of
most
folks.
Okay,.
B
A
B
Oh
sorry
yeah
I
say
I'm
new
to
this
conversation,
so
maybe
I'm
not
new
to
the
issue,
I'm
just
new
to
this
specific
conversation,
so
I
may
be
asking
something
out
of
out
of
range,
but
it
would
seem
that
an
awful
lot
of
residents
generate
very
little
green
waste.
B
I
know,
for
example,
in
my
park
you
know
people
generate
green
waste,
maybe
once
every
month
or
so
or
less,
you
know,
but
they
generate
food
waste
every
day
and
and
it
would
seem
that
with
a
lot
of
our
wealthier
residents
who
use
landscaping,
people
do
those
landscaping,
people
remove
their
grain
waste
or
do
or
or
or
does
it
go
out
with
the
person's
garbage.
B
So
it
seems
that
there
would
be
an
awful
lot
of
volume
wires,
not
a
lot
but
more
frequently
food
waste
than
green
than
other
green
waste,
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
it
complicates
the
issue
when
people
aren't
really
generating
green
waste.
That
often
does
that
make
sense.
Yeah.
A
It
it
does
so
we
thought
about
that
in
a
couple
of
different
ways.
One
was
whether
or
not
like
from
a
cleanliness
perspective
right
if
you're
just
you've
got
a
all
like
a
three-quarter,
full
bin
of
green
waste,
because
your
gardener
was
there
and
he
used
your
bin
and
you
threw
a
little
bit
of
food
waste
in
there.
Then
that
sort
of
is
a
maybe
a
cleaner
bin.
It
results
in
a
cleaner
bin
than
necessarily
a
bunch
of
food
wasted,
then
so
so
I
think
it
it.
A
I
think
the
the
way
that
it
will
come
into
play
is
the
size
of
the
container,
so
people
are
going
to
have
an
option
of
getting
a
32
gallon
a
65
or
a
94
or
something
you
know.
Three
different
sizes.
C
A
So
if
I'm
a
resident
and
I'd
my
gardener
takes
my
my
green
waste,
then
I'm
probably
just
gonna
want
the
smallest
bin.
I
can
get
for
just
my
food
waste
if
you're
like
me,
where
my
gardener
uses
my
bin
and
we're
gonna
encourage
people
to
have
that
happen,
so
we're
going
to
encourage
people
to
have
their
gardener
use
their
bin
just
so
that
we
are
certain
where
that
stuff
goes.
A
But
if
you're
like
me,
they
they
probably
fill
it
about
three
quarters
full
every
week,
and
so
so
again,
I
would
be
in
a
situation
where
I
would
keep
the
largest
bin
and
I
would
put
my
food
waste
on
top
or
something
like
that
so
yeah.
So
I
think
it's
going
to
just
depend
on
what
the
scenario
is
and
yeah
see
how
like
most.
B
A
Why
and
that's
the
other
reason
why
we
were
thinking
that
the
smaller
totes
would
be
better
for
the
smaller.
A
You
know
two
and
a
half
gallon
container
would
be
better
for
for
multi-family
in
particular,
because
they're
not
going
to
have
the
kind
of
green
waste
that
single-family
residents
generate
potentially
and.
A
More
and
more
people
moving
to
desert
scape
land
landscapes.
You
know,
even
if
you
do
have
a
you
know,
a
single
house
and
you
might
not
be
generating
a
lot
of
green
waste
anyway.
So.
B
C
C
This
webinar
that
we're
having
on
the
22nd
we'll
go
over
some
of
those
examples,
because
you'll
kind
of
understand
where
we're
coming
from
some
of
these
condo
complexes
have
a
full
landscape
service
front
and
back.
They
produce
no
green
waste
whatsoever,
so
yeah
for
places
like
that.
Why
have
a
32,
65
or
96?
C
It
probably
needs
to
be
a
pale.
So
there's
there's
different
examples
like
that.
All
over
and
space
issues
is
the
other.
So
there's
just
a
lot
of
different
examples.
B
You
know
in
that
regard
overall
for
the
city
chris,
do
you
have
an
estimate
as
to
how
many
residents
put
their
garden
green
waste
in
a
green
container?
I
live
in
a
community,
that's
single-family
homes
and
our
gardeners
take
out
it
away,
I
think
from
every
house
here,
so
I
it.
C
Yeah,
it
would
you're
you're
you're
right
that
that
area,
a
lot
of
these
places
just
have
gardeners
that
are
taking
care
of
that
stuff.
So
we're
gonna
need
to
take
a
a
look
at
every
place,
but
I
can
tell
you
right
now
that
we
have
currently
5
000
customers
using
the
96
gallon
container
on
a
weekly
basis,
and
their
gardeners
are
using
that
and
we're
just
asking
exactly
what
patrick
said,
which
was
just
placing
the
food
waste
on
top.
B
B
D
Okay,
so
my
question
is:
I
know
that
the
pales
seem
potentially
logical
for
like
for
the
multi-family
buildings,
except
that
it
seems
like
it
would
be
really
labor-intensive
and
I'm
curious
why
we
still
wouldn't
have
them
consolidate
in
one
large
ban.
It
just
would
be
one
big
large
bin
food
waste,
not
waste,
and
is
that
under
consideration
just
to
cut
down
on
the
labor
required.
C
It
is
that's,
that's
one,
that's
one
of
the
other
options
right,
that's
one!
That's
another
example:
your
apartment
buildings
with
centralized
location,
bins
right,
the
pails.
That's
not
going
to
really
work
there.
If
people
want
under
sink
pails,
they
can
use
those,
but
actually
yes
for
complexes
like
the
ones
you're
talking
about
where
they
have
centralized
locations.
C
A
Okay,
any
other
questions
about
1383
organics
collection,
we're
just
trying
to
wait
until
we
have
a
little
more
certainty
around
our
scope
and
services
to
start
rolling
this
out
and
more
communication
to
folks-
and
you
know,
the
big
question
is-
is
when
does
it
start
right?
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
well
timed
with
with
regard
to
start,
starting
and
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
A
And
I
I
confess
something
is
going
on
with
my
computer-
that
I
cannot
seem
to
unshare
my
agenda
so
so
we'll
continue
to
look
at
the
agenda,
so
the
next
thing
on
our
list
was
part.
Trash
can
and
recycling
container
efforts.
A
So,
as
I
was
mentioning,
I
was
talking
to
tracy
about
this,
our
primary
contact
that
we
had
that
we
were
working
on
kind
of
looking
at
the
parks
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
all
the
parks
had
sufficient
recycling
and
trash
containers
and
that
they
were
placed
in
the
right
place
and
that
they
looked
looked
looked
correct.
A
Our
primary
contact
with
that
has
been
out
for
about
two
months
now
so
so
we
haven't
had
a
lot
of
progress
in
that
area,
unfortunately,
because
they
have
been
out
so
and
unfortunately,
maintenance,
otherwise
is
fairly
short
staff.
So
we
haven't
really
made
a
lot
of
progress
in
that
area.
A
I
will
mention
the
downtown
containers
that
we've
been
working
on.
So,
as
you
all
probably
know,
we
got
some
new
trash
and
recycling
containers
downtown
back
at
the
end
of.
I
think
it
was
end
of
2019
early
2020
and
they
were
trying
to
put
some
signage
on
them
to
encourage
better
recycling
behavior,
we
did
a
little
test
and
our
signage
was
not
that
effective.
A
So
we
were
trying
to
create
some
new
stickers,
so
we're
still
in
the
process
of
doing
that
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
that
they
should
not
put
their
cups
into
the
recycling
bin.
So
that's
the
primary
culprit
that
we're
dealing
with
on
the
public
front.
A
A
Organics
and
recycling
compliance
and
changing
requirements.
So
we,
even
though
1383
is
a
new
ordinance.
There
are
existing
recycling
and
organics
management
requirements
for
commercial
businesses
that
have
been
in
place
for
a
long
time
and
it
has
been
a
challenge
to
get
them
to
comply
with
those
existing
requirements.
We
did
a
lot
of
outreach.
A
A
I
think,
as
a
result
of
those
visits,
tracy's
continued
to
make
phone
calls
to
businesses
that
are
still
out
of
compliance
so
that
we
can
try
to
get
them
on
get
them
subscribed
to
services
sooner
rather
than
later,
and
unfortunately
you
know
the
story
is
going
to
change
next
year,
as
as
the
the
threshold
limit
goes
down,
so
more
people
may
be
in
the
mix
and
more
people
may
have
to
comply
that
are
currently
exempt
so
so
anyway.
So
we're
still
working
through
that.
A
We'll
continue
to
do
that
through
the
end
of
the
year.
But
again
the
1383
messaging
is
going
to
start
to
take
precedence
over
that
as
we
go
through
the
end
of
the
year
here.
So
so
anyway.
So
that's
that's
still
ongoing.
A
At
the
moment,
but
anyway,
but
we'll
we'll
continue
to
monitor
that
the
other
thing
that
was
interesting
in
our
meeting
with
my
counterparts
is
that
they
seem
to
have
had
meetings
with
cal
recycle
and
we
have
not
gotten
contacted
by
cal
recycle
yet
to
have
our
meeting
so
anyway.
So
something
to
look
forward
to,
and
so
we'll
we'll
report
out
on
that.
If
we,
if
we
haven't
so.
A
So
the
next
thing
was
community
composting,
so
I
met
yesterday
or
I'm
sorry,
tuesday,
tracy
and
I
met
with
haley
preston
and
some
other
folks
from
the
community
compost
coalition.
A
As
well
as
grace
carter,
we
took
a
look
at
a
site
potential
site
out
near
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
the
animal
shelter,
and
it
is
a
little
bit
more
complicated,
unfortunately
than
I
thought
it
was.
So
we
had
a
number
of
questions
that
arose
during
that
discussion,
and
so
I
was
we
are
coordinating
with
other
staff
on
those
questions
and
hope
to
get
back
to
those
folks
next
week
about
potential
viability
of
that
site.
A
A
If
what
we
can
do
and
then
I
did
meet
with
alberto
who's,
our
building
guy
and
talked
to
him
a
little
bit,
and
he
actually
had
another
idea
of
a
location
over
in
that
area.
That
might
be
a
little
more
a
little
easier
for
us
to
with
so
again.
I
think
this
search
continues
and
so
I'll
update
folks
on
that
front,
as
we
have
more
information.
B
A
A
This
is
so
weird
my
computer
continues
to
do
weird
things
all
right
and
then
outreach.
So
my
only
update,
I
think,
on
the
outreach
front
is
tracy
and
I
are
continuing
to
work
on
that
letter
to
all
residents
and
chris.
We
should
probably
start
to
talk
about
letters
to
residents
or
messaging
to
residents
here
shortly,
just
to
start
to
get
that
word
out
there.
A
The
other
thing
is
that
the
other
valley
cities
are,
I
think,
going
into
an
mou
through
seabag
to
to
promote
some
broader
messaging,
around
organic
waste
and
prevention
of
organic
waste,
and
you
know
putting
things
in
the
right
bin
that
kind
of
thing,
so
it
sounded
to
me
like
that
is
moving
forward.
So
there
might
be
some
general
value-wide
information
going
out
just
to
start
to
get
people
thinking
about
that.
That
stuff.
A
Yep
yep,
so
we
reviewed
the
the
scope
and
the
the
cost
breakdown
I
think
last
last
week.
So
so
I
think
that's
moving
forward
so
and
then
new
business.
So
we
do
have
a
few
events
coming
up.
Kobut
willing
there
is
the
business
expo
september,
22nd
that
is
on.
A
That
is
actually
the
it
had
always
been
billed
as
the
taste
of
palm
springs,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
local
food
vendors
are
there
and
the
casinos
are
there,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
what
that
will
look
like
this
year,
given
covid.
But
we
are
in
communication
with
the
organizers
of
that
to
have
a
table
and
we'll
be
passing
out
information.
A
We
also
thought
it
would
be
a
great
opportunity
to
reach
out
to
the
food
food
vendors,
so
we're
going
to
create
a
package
for
them
and
go
around
and
hand
those
out
on
food
wear
and
also
on
food
waste
management,
so
so
anyways
we'll,
hopefully
have
all
that
together
for
them
and
psds
is
going
to
be
there
too
right.
Yes,
so
so
we'll
all
be
there.
A
Then
our
next
shredding
and
e-waste
event
is
october
16th,
and
that's
here
at
city
hall,
and
so
we
are
looking
forward
to
that
and
we'll
ask
commission
members
to
volunteer
for
that.
If
they
would
like
and
then
the
bulky
item
collection
event
will
be
the
following
weekend
here
at
also
at
city
hall.
A
So
so
we
can
keep
those
couple
of
events,
distinct,
we'll
see
how
that
goes
this
year,
it's
our
first
time,
I'm
sure
we'll
have
a
lot
of
angry
people
at
our
first
event,
saying
where
is
the
bulky
item
collection
so
anyway,
so
we'll
we're
trying
to
I
I've
started
to
get
the
message
out
about
it
already.
The
front
desk
has
been
very
good
about
telling
people
that
that
they're
on
two
different
dates
so
so
we'll
see
how
that
goes
right
here.
C
Okay,
so
what
will
be
in
the
newsletter
we're
looking
on
the
newsletter
right
now,
we'll
make.
A
B
Okay,
okay,
cool
and
you'll
be
conveying
that
at
the
1ps
membership
meeting.
A
Yeah
so
we'll
I'll
update
to
those
folks
too
about
what
we're
doing
and
where
we're
at
in
the
process
and
need
to
make
sure.
B
A
They're
included
I'll
also
re
I'll
also
make
sure
to
announce
that
meeting
of
hoas
and
multifamily,
because
I
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
them
that
participate
in
that
too.
So.
B
B
B
A
It's
it's:
it's
a
an
organization,
it's
an
organization
and
an
idea.
So
it's
there
is
a
community
composting
coalition
that
is
organizing
some
activity
around
finding
a
space
to
do
community
composting.
Okay,
once
they
identify
a
space,
then
there
will
be
community
composting.
So
it
will
be
a
thing
that.
A
Right
exactly
and
so
it's
you
know,
they've
been
focusing
on
we've
been
focusing
on
city
owned
property
because
that
we
thought
silly.
Yes,
that
would
be
easier
right
so
anyway,
but
so
so
we've
gone
through
a
couple
of
different
locations
and
each
of
them
have
their
has
their
unique
challenges.
A
But
but
again
I
think
we're
continuing
to
look
through
various
places
and
really
what
part
of
what
it
comes
down
to
is
the
the
proximity
to
water,
because
that's
an
important
thing
for
them
to
have
access
to
during
that
process.
Shade
is
another
one,
so
the
site
that
we
were
at
next
to
the
animal
shelter
is
pretty
much
free
of
any
shade.
So
it
was
not
ideal
from
that
perspective
and.
A
Yeah
we
had
talked
to
them
about
that
earlier
and
they
didn't
we're
not
interested
in
that
space
and
then
a
little
bit
later
parks
and
rec
actually
put
a
fence
up
around
that
area.
That
was
near
the
community
garden
and
so
it
you
know
the
access
was
sort
of
cut
off
so
yeah.
A
All
right,
well,
I
think
that's
it
then,
for
today
the
a
couple
of
things
just
a
little
preview,
maybe
for
the
commission
meeting,
we
are
working
on
some
documentation
for
priorities
and,
of
course,
two
of
our
big
priorities
lie
with
this
committee
and
those
are
the
1383
information
implementation
and
the
food
ware
ordinance
implementation.
A
So
I
have
a
feeling
what
that's
going
to
mean
is
that
you
probably
will
stop
seeing
the
chasing
arrow
symbols
with
like
the
plastics
that
are
like
a
seven
and
four
and
three
so
you'll
probably
see
a
lot
more
limited
instances
of
those
those
those
symbols
on
on
plastic.
In
particular,
I
don't
exactly
know
how
this
is
going
to
play
out
from
a
local
perspective
where
local,
you
know,
local
markets
are
different
than
maybe
national
markets
or
statewide
markets.
A
So
so
it's
going
to
be
interesting
to
see
how
they
apply
this
on
a
statewide
basis,
also
because
packaging
is
is
universal
right,
so
I'm
sure
that
coke
is
probably
not
gonna
produce
a
different
bottle
than
they
have
elsewhere
so
anyway.
So
it's
going
to
be
interesting
to
see
what
kind
of
ripple
effects
it
has
on
the
industries,
but
also
on
our
recycling
program.
So
so
the
idea
behind
it
is
to
try
to
clear
up
some
of
the
confusion
around
what
can
and
can't
be
recycled,
and
so
so
anyway.
A
So
I
think
that
it'll
be
interesting
to
watch
it
play
out.
A
All
right:
well,
thanks
everybody.
I
appreciate
your
time
and
we'll
talk
more
again
in
a
couple
weeks,.
