34 <br />35 5. Green To Go Update <br />36 Sustainability Specialist Noelle Bakken updated Green To Go and a proposed <br />37 ordinance. <br />38 <br />39 Member Mueller wondered how people heard about the survey or how people were <br />40 targeted. <br />41 <br />42 Ms. Bakken explained the City advertised it heavily on the City's social media and <br />43 went up on the Facebook page a few times as well as the Citywide printed <br />44 newsletter and in her sustainability newsletter. She indicated staff also went to the <br />45 Farmers Market one day and did a live outreach talking with people about that. <br />46 There were also fliers distributed at events about the survey. <br />47 <br />48 The Commission discussed compostable versus recyclable to -go containers with <br />49 staff. <br />50 <br />51 Ms. Bakken continued with her presentation on food -related inspections, ordinance <br />52 recommendations, and next steps. <br />53 <br />54 Member Rudolph thanked Ms. Bakken for calling out the equity considerations and <br />55 biases because it helped to offer some depth. She wondered if there would be an <br />56 opportunity at Roseville Mall to have some type of "No Waste Day" or something <br />57 like that to promote the recycling of to -go containers. <br />58 <br />59 Ms. Bakken indicated that this is an interesting sug stion and worth exploring. <br />60 <br />61 Member Mueller explained one thing that she was interested in with a shift in the <br />62 culture around to -go food is encouraging businesses to conserve excess condiments <br />63 or silverware per to -go orders because that has a big impact on trash. <br />64 <br />65 Ms. Bakken thought that was a good thing to consider and she thought training and <br />66 education would help with that. <br />67 <br />68 Chair Ficek asked when Ms. Bakken was looking to bring this forward to the City <br />69 Council. <br />70 <br />71 Ms. Bakken indicated staff is hoping to meet with the City Council in August or <br />72 September. She asked the Commission if there was anything she missed that should <br />73 be worked on to include in the presentation to the City Council to let her know. <br />74 <br />75 Member Rudolph thought as City staff moves toward creating the ordinance and <br />76 instituting this it might be interesting to look into speaking with a handful of <br />77 restaurants in Minneapolis, for example, maybe one that was onboard, one that was <br />78 reluctant, and one in between to hear from them on what they thought and how <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />Page 4 of 55 <br />
