Mayor Piercy wanted to know more about the other cities’ experience with retailers distributing bags to <br />customers and if there were any safety issues. She suggested that Intergovernmental Relations Director <br />Brenda Wilson be present for future discussions of the topic because Ms. Wilson was familiar with the <br />State Legislature’s debate on the subject. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to proceed with a variation on Option #3: <br />direct staff to develop an ordinance to promote the use of reusable bags and ban plastic <br />bags, similar to the model ordinance included in the packet, and schedule this item and <br />conduct the research identified in Option 2 in the packet to be brought back to the council <br />for final action before the December 2012 break. The motion passed unanimously, 7:0. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 7:03 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council February 27, 2012 Page 6 <br /> Work Session <br />
