Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April ll, 2016 Page 31 McGehee further questioned if it would be better to focus recycling collection at those parks most heavily used. Specific to cart storage, Councilinember McGehee noted the variable sizes of carts, and if the city got in the cart business, perhaps it would be best to handle only one size rather than atteinpting to handle the cosinetic aspect of cart manipu- lation. As previously noted by staff, Mayor Roe clarified that the contractor would be storing the carts, no matter who owned them. Regarding education tags, Councilmember Laliberte presumed that this RFP re- tained the single-sort and would not revert to "shaming" versus "educating" about sorting. Mr. Culver reiterated that the goal was for education. Wilhnus moved, McGehee seconded, receipt of the Recycling Request for Pro- posals (RFP) as presented (Attachment A); and approval of the RFP for adver- tisement; as amended to coNrect language as notecl above by Councilmember Et- ten Nelated to eclucation tags being mandatory. Roll Call Ayes: McGehee, Willinus, Laliberte, Etten and Roe. Nays: None. d.
