ATTACHMENT <br /> DRAFT MOTION <br /> The Committee on Energy and the Environment would like to recommend that the City Council <br /> consider a resolution that would ban single use plastic bags, as well as foam food containers at <br /> businesses operating within the City of Pleasanton. <br /> The committee recognizes that there are pending lawsuits against such action, and believes that <br /> the California Supreme Court is expected to rule shortly on whether an Environmental Impact <br /> Report is required when such action is contemplated. <br /> Due to the amount of research required to detail such a significant action, and the outreach <br /> activity required to fully engage the business community, the committee feels that it would be <br /> appropriate at this time to begin the outreach and research that would be required, regardless of <br /> the Supreme Court's disposition of the pending case. The research carried out would logically <br /> include soliciting estimates on what an EIR for the City on Pleasanton would cost, and where <br /> the funding would be found for this work. <br /> Respectfully submitted by the Committee on Energy and the Environment. <br /> /1 <br /> Page 6 of 6 <br />
