Deputy Corporation Counsel Diana Mellon-Lacey advised that a motionwould be in order to <br />show the Commission’s continued support on the record, in the minutes, for PaintCare, and <br />what this group wants to see happen. <br />Commissioner Cardwell asked if writing a letter to the Council would be helpful. <br />Mr. Hayducsko said thatwould be excellent to have a motion on the record. <br />Motion:Commissioner Cardwell said perhaps we could have a motion to write a letter to the <br />County Council in support of this program. <br />(Themotion was not seconded, but discussion continued) <br />Chair Adams added she would like to add more flexibility to the motion. She would like to see <br />how it works out on this island, and whether there are enormous barriers that would, say, triple <br />the cost of paint. She has no problem with continuing to explore what kind of PaintCare <br />program we can establish on the island. <br />(This discussion was tabled to allow Mr. Hayducsko to conclude his presentation. Following the <br />presentation on agenda items 6-a(ii) and 6-a(iii)in pages 13-15, the discussion continued). <br />Mr.Hayducsko said a letter to the Council to support EPRcould be helpful to support the <br />Department in movingforward,and for the Council to consider in the future. We need to <br />consider the cost, and what the cost is going to be. And before we jump into pushing this too <br />far, we should have an idea of what that is going to be. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cardwell said it is useful to see that this is already happening on the island, and it <br />looks like the cost isn’t too high when it comes to glass and whatnot. Because there is nothing <br />the potential cost would be? <br />Mr. Hayducsko said the PaintCare representatives would be the ones to whom we would go to <br />start working on that. So when they start getting serious about this and get a lobbyist to start <br />working with us, they would be looking at all of these questions that need to be answered, and <br />would provide those answers to our community and to the Legislature. <br />Commissioner Cardwell said it seems to her that based on these examples it is likely that the <br />cost of paint would not rise that much. Maybe it would slightly higher than the prices quoted in <br />something out with the empty barges, the cost could be about the same. So $2 extra for a 5- <br />gallon bucket is not much. <br />11 <br /> <br /> <br />
