Mayor Hosterman agreed. <br />Councilmember McGovern asked for clarification on the cost effects to the public. <br />Councilmember Cook-Kallio said that alcoholic and other large beverage containers will incur a <br />CRV charge. <br />Councilmember McGovern noted that while there is no refund, those bottles are currently <br />recyclable. Councilmember Cook-Kallio said that statistically, they find that attaching a CRV <br />increases recycling efforts by 60-80%. <br />Mr. Fialho said that if there is support, he will direct staff to study the legislation and return on <br />April 21 with background material and a resolution. <br />Councilmember Sullivan supported that and confirmed that evidence indicates recycling rates <br />increase dramatically in the presence of a CRV. <br />Councilmember McGovern confirmed that containers without a CRV are currently recyclable but <br />provide no reimbursement for doing so. <br />Councilmember McGovern asked for a status update on the Parkview assisted living facility. <br />Staff agreed to provide and update and Mayor Hosterman asked that it include a City Manager <br />update. <br />City Council Minutes Page 16 of 17 April 7, 2009 <br />
