Committee debates 'shall' versus 'may' language, asks Fishbeck to add committee duties
Summary
Fishbeck proposed administrative edits to clarify responsibilities and to change some language from 'may' to 'shall' for goals and metrics; committee asked Fishbeck to add duties to ensure the DPA fulfills obligations and to use tracked changes for future edits.
Fishbeck recommended edits to the Administration section to change phrasing so that municipalities or haulers would "consider" participating rather than making participation an expectation. The consultant and committee also discussed using tracked changes and initialing edits; Fishbeck was asked to send red-line documents and to add explicit duties to ensure the designated public authority (DPA) fulfills responsibilities.
Committee members discussed the balance between mandatory and flexible language, recording the meeting discussion that goals and metrics should be a 'shall' and other statements remain a 'may' to preserve necessary flexibility. Fishbeck will incorporate those edits and distribute the red-line plan prior to the August meeting.
