Motion passed. Ordinance 09-2020 was deferred. <br /> 3. Public Works & Sustainability Committee report regarding meeting held May 11, 2020. <br /> (to be provided) <br /> Councilmember Rader read the following report into the record: <br /> Our Public Works & Sustainability Committee met on May IP. All members were present. Two <br /> items were considered and the minutes from the previous meeting were approved. The first item <br /> was Resolution 28-2020, which is a submerged land lease, which we recommended for adoption <br /> tonight. This was to allow a certain resident on Edgewater Dr. to make improvements to his <br /> land, to which the city nor the committee had objection. We recommend that item for adoption <br /> tonight following this communication. <br /> The second item that we spent the majority of the time discussing was recycling. I had brought a <br /> communication to the previous meeting. We just wanted to dig into what our current practices <br /> are regarding recycling and talk about what the community should be doing broadly to help with <br /> recycling. I also wanted to engage in a discussion, which we did not quite get into about how we <br /> are working to work better with landlords and tenants to improve options for people who do not <br /> have a blue bin. Director Ducu confirmed that recycling does indeed occur in Lakewood, as long <br /> as the load is not contaminated. We were going out to bid on finding the best company to work <br /> with and I believe that has been completed. I believe the price that was secured was $SO per ton <br /> recycled. <br /> Some great ideas were proposed. Councilman Bullock proposed things to include in our <br /> recycling bins to improve education and creating a refrigerator magnet in partnership with the <br /> solid waste district was raised as well. Councilman Shachner brought up the point that we <br /> should be incorporating reduce and reuse into our recycling strategy. Another meeting will be <br /> planned within the next week or two. The City of Cleveland and Councilman Slife of Cleveland's <br /> Ward 17 is interested in meeting at the Berea Road facility to discuss how Lakewood does <br /> things. <br /> Councilmember Rader made a motion, seconded by Vice President Litten to receive and file the <br /> oral report. <br /> A roll call vote was taken as follows: <br /> Yeas —Bullock, Kepple, Litten, Neff, O'Malley, Rader, Shachner <br /> Nays —None <br /> Motion passed. The oral report was received and filed. <br />
