Chairperson Stodola stated based on a newspaper article, he found ACE employs about 90 <br />people. It is not a huge company, but it is a significant company. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau noted this Board seems to be more interested in having goals that <br />can be measured, rather than simply basing a decision on a relationship with a company. <br />City Planner Anderson suggested that a goal that the Board may wish to consider would be to <br />include organics as an option as that material makes up a large portion of the waste stream. <br />City Planner Anderson said he is hearing that there may not be a unanimous decision on this <br />item. It may be worth discussing measurable goals to help in the discussion. <br />The Board decided unanimously that goals should be discussed in order to consider this item <br />further. <br />Councilmember Hiatt asked if there are goals in the current contract. <br />City Planner Anderson replied there are not. The City has abided by the County's goals. <br />City Planner summarized the issues to be discussed so far include recycling service, measurable <br />goals, new opportunities and education. He said he will gather information and bring this item <br />back for discussion in July. <br />Board Member Valentine suggested adding customer service to the discussion. <br />Board Member Covert commented she likes the idea of using a local business. Businesses like <br />this do have other markets, but she mentioned a concern that the City could lose a company if <br />they didn't do business with them. <br />
