Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,January 22, 2024 <br /> Page 14 <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Groff, Strahan, Etten, Schroeder, and Roe. <br /> Nays: None <br /> c. Discuss Green to Go Ordinance Engagement Strategy <br /> Sustainability Specialist Noelle Bakken briefly highlighted this item as detailed in <br /> the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated January 22, 2024. <br /> Councilmember Strahan loved the feedback idea. She wondered if staff has thought <br /> about contacting Jamie Becker-Finn as owner of Makwa because she has done a lot <br /> on her own and since all of her materials are recycled, she probably has an idea of <br /> what works and what does not work. She thought this would also be a good resource <br /> for small businesses. <br /> Ms. Bakken agreed and one of the things staff is thinking with those community <br /> conversations/listening sessions is bringing in restaurants and businesses that are <br /> already using materials that would be in compliance with what staff is proposing. <br /> Councilmember Groff thanked staff for the presentation and agreed with <br /> Councilmember Strahan that the feedback form is really important. He asked what <br /> staff has heard from other cities regarding their bumps in the road. <br /> Ms. Bakken explained staff has talked to other cities about some of the difficulties <br /> they have been having. It has been kind of mix of different challenges across <br /> different cities. Some of them has been having a really easy time with large chain <br /> restaurants. <br /> Councilmember Schroeder indicated she liked the Minneapolis ordinance where <br /> they held a packaging fair, including manufacturers and distributors that could <br /> actually help,especially with small businesses because they just don't have the time <br /> to research these things. <br /> Councilmember Etten indicated he was excited about the work and glad there are <br /> more resources for the restaurants. He appreciated the work done so far. <br /> Mayor Roe thanked staff for all of their work on this project. <br /> d.
