Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - October 21, 1991 Page - 12 - <br /> PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) <br /> Council Member Corbett asked about the process for the SRRE review. <br /> Mr. Taylor said a Public Hearing was required before the City Council <br /> in order to obtain public comment, and an additional Public Hearing <br /> would be conducted in January. <br /> Council Member Corbett said she was glad to hear the City has not closed <br /> the door on curbside recycling. <br /> Council Member Perry said she feels there is community desire for <br /> curbside recycling in the residential areas, and the community needs <br /> that sense of participation. <br /> Council Member Polvorosa said the San Leandro Rotary Club, as well as <br /> local schools and the San Leandro Boys and Girls Club, regularly conduct <br /> recycling programs. <br /> The Hearing was then opened to the public. <br /> Howard Kerr, 15388 Norton Street, Chair of the Integrated Waste <br /> Management Land Committee for the Alameda County Waste Management <br /> Authority, said San Leandro's SRRE is one of the two best in the County. <br /> He said curbside recycling is very expensive and reduces very little. <br /> He said one of the objectives of the SRRE is to create cost-effective <br /> programs which can be monitored and reductions documented. He also <br /> noted the Rotary recycling pick-up program and said the funds collected <br /> were donated to charities in San Leandro. He said Mission Bay Mobile <br /> Home Park also has a program and the proceeds go to Alzheimer's <br /> research. He said he is glad to see that San Leandro is trying <br /> something different. <br /> Council Member Corbett said the people of San Leandro should be <br /> congratulated for their recycling efforts. <br /> Toni Reynolds, 880 St. Mary Avenue, said her concern regarding recycling <br /> companies is that she has worked for recycling companies and they can <br /> be here today and gone tomorrow. She recommended the City Council not <br /> put all its eggs in one basket in case Scott Newest goes out of <br /> business. <br /> There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council <br /> Member Faria, seconded by Council Member Santos, and carried <br /> unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed. <br /> Mr. Taylor indicated no City Council action was required on this matter <br /> at this time. <br />
