Ms. Wollrab invited Mr. Brown to come forward and asked if he had any comments on the reports. Mr. Brown assured the Committee that local recycling was being done properly even though there were reports in the news of recycling going to the landfills. He also made the Committee aware that Area Services was no longer collecting glass. Mr. Beard thanked him for all of the work they do and encouraged them to continue to try to get the word out about acceptable recycling. He pointed out that people may not realize that they increase the cost of recycling when they put unacceptable things such as garden hoses in recycling. Mr. Brown thanked Mr. Beard and indicated they would continue to get the word out. Mr. Brown also encouraged members to refer the public to the Ecology Action Center and their website for information. Ms. Wollrab also thanked Mr. Brown for all of their work on recycling and the education they do with young residents.

Ms. Wollrab commented that while there were no positions under the purview of this Committee there were several positions refilled this month throughout the organization. She asked if there was a way to track with exit interviews the reasons individuals were departing the County whether it be retirement or otherwise. Ms. Rodriguez indicated the Health Department does conduct exit interviews and keeps a copy of the paper exit interview. She indicated staff would follow up to see if other departments are doing the same and if not ask them to start so that we can track that information.
