FW: RWRC's TAC information on Zero Waste Agenda Item

[Bruce England]

Hello all:

Attachment of interest re zero waste goals described in our task force working group contributions! I imagine that Lori could have some feedback for us (either through this thread, Green Mountain View, or both) after the TAC meeting, especially where there is direct impact on how the City of Mountain View responds or reacts.

Bye for now!
Bruce

Subject: ZW info for TAC meeting

 

Clif ? we would like to provide this information to the full TAC. The committee recommends that TAC ask RWRC to:

 

1.       Adopt the Vision and Guidelines

2.       Send to the Board of Supervisors and Cities for adoption and recommend that the County and each City develop a Zero Waste Action Plan (ZWAP).

3.       Request that TAC gather examples of good policies and best practices for distribution to the cities. 

 

We are hoping that everyone will think about this ? especially the list of potential policies and actions ? and that we might expand this during the TAC meeting to include some other ideas, as well.

 

Committee Members:  Richard Gertman, Jill Boone, Julie Muir, Lori Topley, Skip Lacaze, Rob D?Arcy, Elizabeth Constantino, Cheri Donnelly, Karen Gissibl; input from Mark Bowers, Tony Eulo.

Here is the process we identified:

 

Time Line and Implementation Plan to get the ZW policy and action plan out to the cities and adopted.

1.      Take to TAC in November for discussion (this document)

2.      Finalize recommendation to RWRC and take to TAC in December for okay

a.       Get okay from chair of RWRC to distribute info to other commissioners.

b.      Ask chair to add personal request for them to review.

c.       Write memo to RWRC with draft and request for comments, for chair to send out.

3.      To RWRC  (Feb) ? recommend that BOS and Councils will adopt a ZW policy.

a.       Create Team Presentation

b.      Write Staff report ? recognize cities that have done something already.

c.       Craft Resolution for them to recommend.

                                                               i.      Cities can use the resolution as a model.

4.      Send recommendation to BOS and to cities to adopt it. (March)

a.       Cover Letter from chair ? Zero Waste Vision and Plan reviewed by RWRC and they recommend adoption or use of this as a model for adoption. Encourage all cities to adopt it as a countywide effort by specific date. Offer presentations to city councils.

b.      Ask her if chair would like to take this to cities assn. and or request a presentation.
