Council President Brossard: Councilman Madden, Chairman of the Inter -Governmental Relations Committee, does not have a report this evening. Councilman Shymske, Chairman of the Environmental Control Committee, do you have a report this evening? Councilman Shymske: Yes, I do, Mr. President. The Environmental Control Committee met on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 8:29 p.m. Those in attendance were committee members Shymske and Madden, and Council Members Gilchrist, Glassburn, and Scarl. Also present were Council President Brossard, Mayor Jones, and the Directors of Human Resources, Economic Development, Safety, Service, and the Special Assistant to the Mayor. The topic of discussion was 2024-89, legislation regarding the 75% of refuse pickup on private streets that are currently not authorized to receive refuse pickup. The administration stated that the legislation aligns with the plan to incorporate these private streets into a refuse pickup program, with the City paying 25% in 2023, 50% in 2024, and now 75% in 2025. They mentioned that when the refuse contract is renewed, these streets will be added. Following this, a motion was made to favorably recommend 2024-89 and seconded, and approved 2-0. The Committee adjourned at 8:33 p.m., and that concludes my report, Mr. President.

Council received a letter from Mr. Jim Burns, which was distributed to the Mayor and Economic Development Director, as requested.

A copy of the letter will be attached to the minutes of this meeting. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Council President Brossard: Thank you. We will now move into audience participation.
