All members voting yea. <br />* ** *NEW BUSINESS * * ** <br />18. Communication from Councilmember Rader and Council President O'Leary regarding <br />Resolution in Support of County Plastic Bag Fee Ordinance. (Pg. 59) <br />Mr. O'Leary added comments supporting the initiative. <br />Mr. Anderson asked if there was any data relative to other communities in Cuyahoga County <br />without automated bucket recycling pick up like Lakewood. He questioned if prohibiting the <br />types of blue bags that have been used for recycling could have a negative effect on overall <br />recycling in other communities. He asked if there was a ten percent regressive tax. <br />Mr. Rader referenced the regressive part that food stamp recipients would be exempt from the <br />initiative. <br />Mr. Anderson indicated he would want to know what the County Council's final iteration of the <br />legislation would be before voting. <br />Mr. O'Leary indicated support of general objectives of the resolution accepting that it would <br />not be the final iteration of the legislation. <br />Mr. Anderson indicated the unintended consequences may be a reason that County Council has <br />not finalized the legislation. <br />Mr. Bullock indicated faith in the County being able to work through the obstacles. He indicated <br />that the county -wide approach is helpful. <br />Square footage of types of stores was briefly discussed and the exemption of smaller businesses <br />was stated. <br />Mr. Rader indicated that the Sierra Club estimates five million pounds of plastic end up in the <br />Lake every year and indicated that as a County this would help mitigate that as a proactive step. <br />7 <br />
