First stage is a review of the system and options, will develop inventory, and review of best practices; Second stage is a detailed investigation of the options, environmental options, landfill, program costs and preparation for incremental plan; and Third stage in finalization of updated plan. Local representation is Mr. Renaud, Ms. Newton and Mr. D. Komonoski (City representative) that make recommendations to the Steering Committee representative by the Board of the Whole. Mr. Mooney concluded by extending appreciation to City Council for the lawn compost program and curbside refuse program.
