ITEM 1A. CITIZENS COMMENTS MS. KATHLEEN THOMPSON Ms, Kathleen Thompson, 1570 Dublin Circle, addressed the City Council regarding her concerns about the recycle bins publicized by the City. She stated the bin was unacceptable due to not having a lid to keep the recyclables dry and requested the City to provide large, closeable units to encourage citizens to recycle. Ms. Thompson then read the following letter into the record: Dear City Council: It is good that we have a central location for recyclables. It is not good if it is uncovered causing contamination when moisture gets on paper /cardboard. 01/04/11 Cardboard and paper are usually the most predominant recycled material. When rain causes part of the container to be unusable it is my understanding the entire container goes to the landfill. Please investigate this situation and direct City staff to take the necessary actions to maximize our recyclable materials. Also, as an active KGVB proponent, I was completely unaware of this container where citizens could bring recyclable materials. How is this publicized to citizens? Is there a way to give it more publicity? Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter and please excuse the written method of delivery. Tuesday evening is my night for volunteer youth coaching. s\John Rath 1537 Country Forest Court ITEM 1.
