Public Comment <br /> Olivia Angus, medical device engineer and clean water activist, encouraged the City to pass an <br /> ordinance to help curb the use of single use plastics. She asks the City to extend the State's <br /> Straws upon request law to include all service providers including fast food, coffee shops, bars, <br /> and other food establishment. She noted that current law only applies to sit-down restaurants. In <br /> addition, she would like the law to include stir sticks, sleeves, utensils and other disposable food <br /> ware items. In December 2018, she screened the film Straws for the students at the Walnut Creek <br /> Elementary School and invited Last Plastic Straw founder Jackie Nunez to speak to the students. <br /> Ms. Angus noted that although Pleasanton is inland, she still sees plastics in the creek which <br /> drain into the ocean. <br /> Mayor Thorne stated that City Council did agree to make this issue a priority over the next two <br /> years. City Manager Nelson Fialho reported that on March 12, a public workshop will be held <br /> where Councilmembers will formulate their two-year work plan and will provide the public an <br /> opportunity to speak on this matter. <br /> The following Walnut Grove Elementary students, expressed their concern regarding the impacts <br /> of single-use plastics and noted the pollution is hurting both animals and humans and asked the <br /> Council to consider a ban on single-use plastic in Pleasanton. <br /> Oliver Covey Brown <br /> Tigo Dijk Akhil Gollapudi <br /> Alexis Giddings Kaitlyn Rim <br /> Grace Berberich Asher <br /> Olivia Angus Claire <br /> Mikayla Youngblood Gavin <br /> Saumya Pandey 011ie <br /> Nadalina Krattiger Kaiyan <br /> Nirmaya Nidish Julia <br /> Michelle Lam Maddy <br /> Sydney Kamal Jackie Nunez <br /> Penelope Buser <br /> City Council Minutes Page 2 of 9 February 19,2019 <br />
