Assistant to the City Manager Hopkins confirmed there are 26 in-store redemption locations certified by <br /> CalRecycleand the list is on the City's website. She stated residents can file a complaint to the.State if <br /> one of the 26 centers will not redeem their items. She reported enforcement has received no <br /> complaints from Pleasanton. She hopes to educate residents ori using Pleasanton's in-store <br /> redemption locations because the City does not have a local buyback center. <br /> Councilmember Testa reported she went to six different stores in Pleasanton as a test and none of <br /> them knew what she was talking about. She endorsed having reverse vending machines in the store <br /> parking lots for their practicality. She acknowledged this grant may not be the best source of funding for <br /> those machines. She encouraged residents to take their recycling to grocery stores and notify the City if <br /> they are unsuccessful in their redemptions. <br /> In response to Assistant to the City Manager Hopkins' inquiry, Mayor Brown.confirmed Item 3 is not <br /> being continued, simply the discussion on if there is an option to use the funds to incentivize local <br /> grocery stores to purchase reverse vending machines. <br /> Councilmember Narum moved to approve the Consent Calendar, noting the recusal from Item 4 by <br /> Councilmembers Arkin, abstention from Item 8 by Councilmember Balch, and the amendment to Item <br /> 2.
