Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,July 10, 2023 <br /> Page 7 <br /> and ways to tackle this. He also thought the recommendations he has seen and <br /> some of the information from staff suggested a tailored approach that is not trying <br /> to change everything right away. Rather, it is trying to make strategic moves on <br /> some of the plastics that cannot be recycled, things like that, and thinking about <br /> how the City implements this. He thought it was a very good plan overall and the <br /> City should move forward with it. <br /> Councilmember Schroeder thought this is a good project to work on and she wanted <br /> to make sure the City is working closely with businesses and the restaurants on this <br /> because some of them are still suffering a bit from the pandemic.The Council wants <br /> to make sure that the City gets the businesses input while moving forward. She <br /> thought it was doable because there are a number of restaurants in the City that are <br /> already doing this and they would be good ones to reach out to and see how the <br /> business working it out. She noted this would be a really important step. <br /> Councilmember Groff agreed. He indicated there is an educational component and <br /> bringing this in over a number of months was really wise, in his opinion. Reaching <br /> out to businesses is also really important. He thought the Commission's work was <br /> really good and he would support this. <br /> Mayor Roe concurred and thought this may be a way to get into businesses and <br /> make the business aware of other aspects on how the business could be working <br /> with things including food waste. He stated the City needed to continue to think <br /> about the plastic bag side of it as well. <br /> Chair Ficek reviewed the Sewer Service Lateral Revolving Loan Policy the <br /> Commission has talked about. He wondered if the Council would want them to <br /> look at this further as well as the Finance Commission. <br /> Councilmember Groff explained this is a huge topic and most home buyers now <br /> have a sewer scope when purchasing because it is such a large ticket item. He <br /> thought it was a good topic to research. <br /> Councilmember Etten explained he checked with the EDA staff and the City has <br /> several loan programs through the EDA that can be used for this purpose already. <br /> Mayor Roe thought this might be an educational thing to do. <br /> Councilmember Schroeder noted the Commission might want to meet with the <br /> EDA staff for education purposes to find out what that program is about. <br /> Chair Ficek explained the last item on their list is the street name policy. He <br /> indicated west of Cleveland,the Commission talked about whether the road should <br /> remain named County Road B because it is no longer a County road. He noted staff <br /> brought forward a policy that can be enacted that would allow for that name change <br />
