Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 12, 2018 Page 12 93. Are there any changes or improvements in the curbside recycling program you would like to see? 94. Do you support or oppose a curbside collection program for com- postable waste(organics) for an additional fee? 95. Why do you feel that way? 96. If a curbside collection program for compostable waste was avail- able, how likely would your household be to participate in it? Councilmember Willmus would like feedback on weekly collection as well as or- ganics. Councilmember McGehee agreed. She asked if residents have been inquiring about weekly pickup. Councilmember Willmus stated there is a link between weekly pickup and organ- ics. Councilmember Etten concurred. He suggested removing question 87. It was summarized that two questions should be kept regarding weekly pickup and organics. And a third question might relate to whether the opinion on bi- weekly or weekly changes if organics is available. The Council asked to review the new survey questions before it goes out. Councilmember Etten asked if a question is needed about a drop-off location in Central Park. The Council decided to include a question concerning whether a resident has wanted to do organics but has been unable to, and suggest the options of a drop- off site as well as a pickup service. Councilmember Willmus expressed opposition for a drop-off organics site at a City park,but rather at a central location like the City Hall parking lot. The Council discussed whether to include a cost question associated with the or- ganics, more specifically a follow-up question about favorability with an increase in cost. Councilmember Willmus stated the City does not know if the costs will increase, not knowing the contract renewal.
