March and May - Francie Jaffe requested: First, in February or March, we would like to receive initial feedback on needs and priorities so we can integrate them into the drafting of the Resolution. March may be better to ensure that we can share a survey that is being developed and will be released in early-to-mid February. We can attend the meeting and discuss or just share the survey as an information item. Whichever you think makes the most sense for the group. Second, we’d like to return in May to receive feedback on a draft Zero Waste Resolution itself and a letter of  support if possible. Need about 20 minutes for each meeting. b.
