Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, March 26,2007 - DRAFT <br />Page 16 <br />1 �, Adopt a Resolution in Support of a Legislative Solution for Deal- <br />� ing with Electronic Waste <br />�3 Councilmember Roe had numerous grammatical corrections to the <br />� draft resolution for clarification purposes. <br />�} <br />t� Councilmember Pust questioned the fiscal considerations of City <br />� Council support — and whether any costs would be realized, either on <br />� a state or locallevel. <br />� <br />1� <br />11 <br />1� <br />�� <br />�� <br />1� <br />1 i� <br />l� <br />1� <br />1� <br />�� <br />21 <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />� rk <br />City Manager �a����� advised that he was not aware of any financial <br />impacts to the City. <br />Mayor Klausing confirmed that his understanding of the legislation <br />was that the cost would be to the producer of the electronics. Mayor <br />Klausing �`urther noted that, legislative action earlier today, may make <br />a resolution of support unnecessary. <br />Roe moved approval of a resolution entitled, "Resolution Requesting <br />Legislative Solution for Electronic Waste;" supporting e-waste that <br />includes provisions to require manufacturer responsibility, reliable <br />and convenient collection options, responsible recycling of CRT's, a <br />mechanism to address the backlog of CRT's, and a funding method <br />that does not require substantial end-of-life fees; as amended; how- <br />ever, there was no second to the motion. <br />��� Councilmember Pust noted the importance of the City Council's sup- <br />�� port of legislative initiatives, and her personal support for continuing <br />�� to improve recycling systems; however, expressed hesitation to adopt <br />�� a resolution of support without additional information and potential <br />�� cost ramifications and verification. <br />�1 <br />�� Further discussion ensued regarding the status of Council discussion <br />:�;� on the 20071egislative agenda. <br />3•� <br />:�� After further discussion, it was Council consensus to TABLE action <br />��� on this item until the next regular business meeting; and staff was di- <br />�� rected to add this item, as amended, to the Consent Agenda, as well as <br />�8 provide additional information as discussed regarding any state a�d/a� <br />�� local expenditures and cost impacts. <br />
