Dear Mayor Ellis and City Commissioners.
The Green Advisory Taskforce is scheduled to sunset on August 27, 2008. We would like to request a
three month extension. The reasons for this extension are as follows:
The Taskforce would like to conduct a citizen outreach forum, similar to a charette for input
from citizens and residents of Delray Beach. We are interested in scheduling this at the same
time as the Downtown Marketing Cooperatives meeting on August 14.
The Taskforce was asked to make a recommendation to the Commission regarding single
stream vs. dual stream recycling. This research and presentations took the considerable part of
four meetings (two months).
We also lost one of our members, who has now been replaced by Sarah Martin. The
Commission made an excellent selection by appointing Sarah, as she is already "on board" with
many of the projects we are working on, but we would like to make the most of Sarah's recent
appointment and the experience she, brings.
Thank you for your consideration,
Nancy Schneider
