He noted 7 providing equal access for this opportunity is a good thing. Councilmember Stille encouraged 8 Ms. Doolan, when talking about marketing, to also consider marketing to people living in multi - 9 family so they are not forgotten. 10 I 1 Mayor Faust stated the City will probably have a new organized collection contract in 2020 and 12 the goal is to have organics picked up at residences by then. From equity point of view, he 13 agreed this site will probably stay. Mayor Faust noted the City is not required by the Hennepin 14 County Plan to provide organics recycling until 2020 but this would move the City in that 15 direction sooner. He considered it to be a pilot program to create visibility and get residents 16 ready for when curbside is offered. 17 18 Motion carried 4 -0. 19 20 VI. GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL. 21 22 A.
