Dear Friend,

On Tuesday, July 8, at 7 PM, the City Council will host a Public Comment session on proposed legislation that would ban styrofoam and create a ‘green fee’ on bags. I’m writing to invite you to attend and comment on these proposals. The two ordinances were introduced last week and will be voted on in committee later this month. I sincerely hope that you’ll consider coming out to show your support.

The Public Comment session will take place on Tuesday, July 8 at 7p.m. in Council Chambers. Sign-up sheets for those who wish to speak will be available at 6:30 p.m. The full announcement is posted on my Council web site.

You will also find, at the bottom of that page, translations of the announcement in six different language, should you find a use for them. Additional information about the ordinances are located on the web.

Please send any requests for copies of the legislation to rob.gala@seattle.gov.

Thank you,

Richard Conlin
Seattle City Council President
Chair, Environment and Emergency Management Committee
