Cathy Carlat called meeting of the Recycling Citizen’s Advisory Committee to order at 6:15 p.m.

Karen Garbe seconded the motion.  Minutes were approved.  The meeting minutes will be posted 
on the city’s website. 

Cathy thanked all members for attending the meetings and reminded them again about the two 
main goals of the committee:  1) to recommend whether or not to implement curbside recycling 
and 2) suggest ways to address residents’ concern.

2.	Review

and information presented from various sources throughout the past weeks.  Marty reiterated the

three spokespeople, Julia Babler, Sharon Fletcher and Fred Brill.  Julia presented the introductory 
portion, Sharon Fletcher presented the facts regarding recycling and sources where the 
information was gathered by the committee, and Fred Brill presented the portion on finances and 
citizen concerns.  The presentation states the recommendation of the Committee to implement 
curbside recycling in Peoria.  The three committee spokespeople will present the presentation at 
the City Council Study Session on November 14th at 4:00 pm in the Pine Room at City Hall.
