Mr. Schwartz advised that his residence in Little Canada had single stream recycling collection, and he found their household produced three times as much recycling as waste. Mr. Pratt noted that no current vendors serving the immediate area were currently providing weekly collection for single stream collection at this time. Kathy Klink, 335 Ryan Avenue (by Villa Park) In moving forward, Ms. Click spoke in support of the community values being developed to guide the process moving forward; and expressed her appreciation to the PWETC for their efforts. While having some involvement with the recycling industry, Ms. Click clarified that she was attending as a private citizen. Concluding discussion included clarifying the request for staff to send out a clean list of values via spreadsheet, with the 2010 value weighting, along with a blank column for changes. Chair Vanderwall asked that individual PWETC members get their ranking weights, and any other input, to staff for processing to the entire body within a few days; then allowing the next iteration sufficient lead time for members to add any additional topics or make adjustments; followed-up with a second e-mail provided by staff to members with member response to staff to process those numbers for forwarding to the body for consideration at the next discussion. Chair Vanderwall thanked Mr. Pratt for his attendance at tonight's meeting and for guiding the PWETC through this community value discussion process. 6.
