Member suggests mayor issue executive order to start recycling in municipal offices
Summary
A committee member recommended the mayor could sign an executive order to begin office recycling immediately, while discussing logistics for collection service and Climate Smart crediting; members agreed to draft language for consideration.
A committee member (S2) proposed that the mayor could issue an executive order to begin recycling in municipal offices and suggested adding the item to the mayor's Friday agenda for a quick staff-level start. Members discussed that bins and a collection service would be required and noted that an executive order or memo could secure Climate Smart points.
S2 said a mayoral executive order could "just start using...like recycling things in the offices," and members agreed it was a feasible near-term step if the mayor and staff sign off. The group discussed operational questions (who picks up materials, service contracts) and agreed to draft short language for the mayor to consider; no formal city-level action was recorded in the transcript.
