Agenda Item nine Cancel 118 935 Relating to Seattle Public Utilities updating and consolidating provisions related to Seattle recycling requirements and in many sections 21.30 6.0, 82 and point zero 83 of the Senate Code Committee recommends the bill passed. Cast Member Herbold Thank you. In August 2014, the Council passed Ordinance 12 4582, which prohibited residential and commercial customers from disposing food waste in compostable paper as garbage. In 2015, the Pacific Legal Foundation challenged the city in court, alleging monitoring of garbage for prohibited materials violates people's privacy. In April 26, I'm sorry, in April 2016, King County Superior Court confirmed Seattle's authority to prohibit items from from garbage and supported Seattle's practice of visually monitoring, garbage for recycling and other prohibited items in plain view. However, the court also ruled that certain aspects of Spears director's rule were unconstitutional, and the court found that these rules authorized you to conduct unwarranted searches of residential garbage, although that was not the practice. The ruling did not impact monitoring of commercial and multifamily containers. The proposed ordinance updates operations language in the city code to be consistent with the court ruling and specifically eliminates monitoring as it relates to finding significant amounts of recyclables in in garbage and replace it with the ability to note recyclables in plain view. Thank you. Are there any comments? Please call the role on the passage of the bill. Johnson, I. Whereas I. O'Brien. Hi, Suzanne. Hi. Burgess. Hi. Gonzalez, I. Herbold. Hi. President Harrell. Hi.
