No members of the public were in attendance during the public comment period, however there were a few additional comments from PRC members.
Chris mentioned an article that he had seen involving a group of professionals working together on a proposal for a waste incinerator which would partner surrounding municipalities including Peterborough City and County, Northumberland County, and the City of Kawartha Lakes. Staff are aware of this project and will be working with the group to provide them with information throughout the process but there has been no official commitment from the City of Kawartha Lakes to partner on the project.
Councillor Dunn brought up a resident inquiry regarding a new way of organizing curbside collection through the use of bag tags distributed to residents. Staff will review the inquiry and provide Councillor Dunn with a response.
Chris Appleton also inquired about the mailing out of calendars in 2022 and if this will be included in the 2021 Budget. Lloyd Robertson suggested that this could be brought up at the Waste Management Advisory Committee for a resolution of support before budgets are approved.
Finally the PRC wished to express their heartfelt thanks to PRC member Ken Trodd who passed away in late 2020. Ken volunteered as a member of the PRC for over 10 years and made a valuable contribution to the PRC and the City.
