XX Mitigating Measures incorporated into the proposal:
1. Develop and implement an education program, partnering with food service businesses, food
service associations, unions and interested organizations to understand and promote the benefits
of and reasons to use compostable and recyclable food service packaging.
2. Establish an implementation period of a minimum of six months before the effective date of
provisions ECDC 6.90.020 through 6.90.050 of the ordinance in order to (1) allow time for
affected food service businesses to prepare for and adapt to the provisions of the ordinance, (2)
allow time for the educational program to take effect and encourage recycling and composting of
food service packaging, and (3) enable the City Council to work with members of the community
and affected parties to evaluate any alternatives or modifications to the ordinance if needed to
address any issues regarding its provisions or implementation.
