Councilmember Laliberte questioned, if the City were to put forth new ideas to enhance its recycling program, would it change the amount the City is eligible for in this annual funding. City Manager Trudgeon responded that the City's Environmental Specialist Ryan Johnson could bring back additional information at a later meeting, including planning underway for organics collection.
