(Ord.

After contacting Mr. Glenn Guice, Palm Beach Branch Customer Services Director, I was informed that to date, no plans to remodel or renovate the facility have been approved or considered. He recognizes the critical need for maintenance at the facility, but is limited by funding shortages. He stated that after Hurricane Katrina, Federal funds were reallocated to the rebuilding of postal facilities in New Orleans and the surrounding affected areas. He also relayed that USPS (United States Postal Service) was at the end of their fiscal year, and was actually frozen in their ability to purchase new equipment or contract out any services. Mr. Guice further explained that the funding freeze has prevented them from fixing broken landscaping equipment (apparently 2he facility's lawnmower and trimming equipment needs replacing), and this was the reason the outside landscaping is in such poor condition. To give you a brief background on this issue, Congressman E. Clay Shaw wrote multiple letters on the City's behalf in 2002-2003 to both the local Palm Beach Postmaster, as well as the Federal offices of the USPS. The Congressman's ietters detaifed the unsightly appearance of the Fairchild facility and the need for renovation. He also implored the USPS to set aside funding for another postal facility in the Western portion of the City. The response Rep. Shaw received was mixed- USPS agreed there was a growing need for a Western facility, which to date has been approved and awaiting funding (which I was told will take quite a while, the land has been set aside, but no date to break ground has been approved). However, the expansion and renovation of the Fairchild facility would be considered only after the completion of the new Northlake facility (which, as previously stated, is not slated to break ground anytime soon). Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. This is truly a frustrating situation, and I will keep you and the other board members informed should anything change. Sincerely, Jamie Cobb Jamie E.

Throughout the United States, companies are looking for new, more effective ways ta reduce costs, promote responsibte resource management and fight cLimate change thraugh commercial �vaste recycling. Of all the prograrns currentty in use, I�one comes ctose to matching the ease, acceptance and cost-effectiveness of Single Stream Recycling. What is Single Stream Recycling? �ingle Stream Recycling is a technalagy that altows participants to place all their recyclables—such as fiber (newspaper, office paper and cardboard) and non-fiber �plastic bottles, steel and aluminum cans}—into a single container for subsequent collection, processing and remarketing. In some markets glass botties and jars are inciuded. There's no sorting of materials into separate bins and na use of multiple callection vehicies. :, " � -- ., : . ��� � Y � w/I�M M�a�.��rMt y� -- � LY�'-'- �• ��+ F_��� w��-_�'. _ . . - _'���Y=y1� � �, - _ _ �§ t�: � �F�*tf w��w+4r��u�/� Sirzgle Stream Recycling is Simple and Easy. Single Stream Recycling is being adopted by an increasing number of American �usinesses because it WORKS. The simplicity of a singte cart and the program's ability to accommodate a wider range of materials has allowed businesses with Single Stream Recycling to collect, on average, 30 percent mare recyctables compared ta previaus dual- or multi-stream progYams. It increases employee participation and average tons coilected while helping significantly lower overall waste collection costs. What Makes Sas�gle Stx�eam Recycliag Possible? Recent improvements in automated sorting and screening technologies have made it possible to cleanly separate a wide variety of material streams coming fram a single source. Even fiber pradurts—which previously needed to be manually source-separated from other recyclabtes to avoid costly cflntamination--can naw be part of a Single Stream Recycling program thanks ta processing innavations that significantly reduce paper contamination levels. Ongoing improvements in this technology wili improve t�te economic viability of Single Stream Recyclinq programs. , - .._v�.� _. � a�j• r -' ; fR.. . ��.' _ '. _ , �' 'C�rpi�al Singl� Strearn Re�yding Facility layout � i _ _ _ ��w�� Waste Maszagement: Tlze Leader ia Sisagle StYeam Recycling_ Waste Management has a long history of leadership in recycling innovation. Through our wholly owned recycling subsidiary, Waste Management Recycle America (WM Recycle America), we were the first major solid waste company to focus on Single Strearn Recycling, having introduced the techriotogy in the mid-1990s. We have since established Single Stream Recycling programs in scores of markets throughout the United States. Between 2002 and 2006, the volume of materials processed in our Single Stream Recycling facilities nearly tripted, increasing to 2 million tons from 722,000 tons just four years eartier. Aboait WM Recycle As�erica_ In 2006 WM Recycle America processed approximately 5.5 million tons of recyclables and marketed more than 8 million tons to customers worldwide.

Therefore, we don't have as much garbage and our land�lls last longer. In Palm Beach County, we have extended the life of our landfill from 2010 to 2023 because of increased recycling efforts! In 1960, the average person threw away 2.7 pounds of garbage each day. Today, the average person throws away 4.4 pound of garbage each day. There are 3,091 landfills in the United States. The SWA appreciates your participation in Palm Beach County's recycling program.

This unique business/education partnership helps to solve a serious problem in our schools and other child-care programs - the severe lack of quality affordable materials for creative learning. There is a consistent, urgent call from educators nationally for a supply of hands-on materials.

When they are discarded, federa! and state regulators assume that lamps are a hazardous waste. In most circumstances, waste lamp generators must manage, transport and dispose of lamps as a hazardous waste or comply with the more lenient Universa! Waste Rule (UWR). The UWR provides streamlined regulations for the management and transportation of lamps. Exemptions The federal government and nearly all states strongly encourage the voluntary recycling of all fluorescent lamps. However, under the federal rules, management and disposal of lamps under certain conditions is not regulated. Lamps are not regulated by the federal government if: 1. The lamps pass the test that determines whether a waste is a hazardous waste (the test, called the TCLP, determines the leach-ability of inercury in the lamp). 2. A household generates the lamps. 3. A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG), which is a generator of less than 220 pounds of hazardous waste per month and who accumulates less than 2,200 pounds at any one time, generates the lamps. These exemptions are not as broad as they appear. Lamps are assumed to be hazardous so generators disposing of "non-hazardous" lamps are required to either test their lamps or maintain current information on the lamps disposed of to prove that the lamps were properly characterized as non-hazardous. This means that every different model number of lamp used must be individually documented. In addition, any exemption from recycling or hazardous disposal requirements does not relieve a generator from liability that might arise from those lamps. Generators are still liable for their lamps, including possible superfund liability. Finally, many solid waste and industrial waste landfills cannot accept hazardous wastes, even if they are generated by a CESQG. State Strinqencv State regulations cannot be less stringent but can be more stringent than Federal regulations. Many states have lamp disposal regulations that are more stringent than federal requirements. These regulations are summarized in the attached table. In some states, all mercury-added lamps are hazardous and must be recycled or disposed as a hazardous waste. Other states eliminate any CESQG exemption or limit it to much smaller quantities of lamps. And certain states allow the CESQG exemption from hazardous waste rules but still require recycling or hazardous waste disposal by prohibiting disposal of hazardous waste lamps in some or all of the municipal and industrial waste landfills in their state. Compliance In all states, generators can easily comply with state and federal rules by complying with the streamlined Universal Waste Rule requirements and sending their lamps for recycling. In virtually all cases, it is far simpler to recycle fluorescent lamps than to 1) Maintain complete records of their lamp models and accompanying TCLP test results, 2) Closely review their state laws and rules regarding lamp management and disposal, and 3) Review disposal restrictions imposed by their local landfill.

The designation process has been designed to help cncourage and reinforce sustainable behaviors that lead to positive results both for the environment and your hotel's bottom line. I�he following list represents the typical sequence of activities a hotel must pursue to achieve GreEn Lc,dging designation. A certain degree of flexibility has been built into the process to allow hotel management the ability to choose environmental effurts to best suits their needs and situation. The juurney to the first level designation (One Palm) can take up to a year. Afterwards, continuous �nvironmental improvement will be required to move on to Two Palm or Three Palm Status levels. >��� � 3 � Please acknowledge that you have read and understood the �� , information in Section II above by initialing here: ❑ `� If you have any questions, please contact the FGLP office. SECTION III: Requirements Overview ��s stated earlier, the main purpose of the designation program is to encourage hotels to understand and improve their environmental performance rather than simply i►nplement a few green practices. To become a designated member of the Florida Green Loclging Program (FGLP) at any level, a hotel must satisfy the tollowing criteria: � One Palm Status Or�anization and Commitment: Activities include �btaining support from top management, forming an active multi-clisciplinary `'Green Team", and operating in cumpliance with all applicable environmental regulations. A. Identify an environmental champion. A successful pro�ram needs an enthusiastic person with good communication and �rganizational skills who can get everyone working together as a team. The "environmental champion" �1oes not necessarily have to be an environmental specialist; many �hampions have come t�mm areas such as personnel, food and beverage, administrative uftices and en�ineering. The environmental champion will serve as a liaison between the FGLP Oftice and the hotel/motel during the process. B. Obtain top management commitment and submit the admission application. The most important ingredient for a successful environmental initiative is General Mana�er commitment. Havin� official sanction will let employees know that resource conservation is an important work responsibility. Once upper management has decided to pursue the program, complete this application. Once received, the FGLP Office will assign a client manager to Serve as a liaison to assist you in the process anci/or answer any questions. C. Create a Green Team. ,A Green Team can be a fornlal or informal �;roup responsible for ensuring that all environmental improvement practices in which the hotel is participating are being performed timely an�l correctly. A Green Team is usually compriseci of individuals from each area of the hotel/motel, namely: housekeeping, engineering, kitchen, front office, maintenance and upper management. D. Conduct an Environmental Self-Assessment. How green is your facility right now? The Green Team should identify and evaluate opportunities to improve environmental performance by conducting a walk through of the hotel property. An E�iviro�Tmental Sel/=:�ssess�ne►it and Plunning Checklist has been designed to provide guidance in obtaining baseline data (www.dep.state.t7.us/�,reenlo�R��). A review of product purchases, utility bills and waste hauling records will help determine environmental baselines. It is not required that the property have any environmental practices in place until it is ready for designation. This form also asks that you list the baseline utility data for water, energy and waste for the property. Be sure to have at least one year of baseline utility data to cover seasonal fluctuations. The Environ►nental Self-Assessmeitt and Planning Checklist should be submitted to the FGLP within SIX months of submitting the application. These core activities are outlined in the Minimum Requirements Checklist attached to the end of this application. Please use this form as a tool, and keep it for your records as you proceed. Core Activities: Certain green practices will be required of all hotels seeking designation. These core activities have been selected to provide some continuity between all designated mernbers of the Florida Green Lodging Program. As part of the process, these efforts will be verified on-site by a trained assessor of the FGLP. The core activities represent a minimum set of best �nanagement ,�ractices in the areas of communication, �vater cunsen ation, energy et'ticiency, waste re�iuction anci clean air that all designated members will have to implement. 1.

Water Conservation At a minimum, three of the followin� water conservation efforts must be implemented. • Offer towel reuse program in guest rooms. • Offer linen reuse program in �uest rooms. • Use low flow faucets (that use 2.5 gallons or less per minute) in guest rooms. • Use low flow showerheads (that use 2.75 gallons or less per minute) in guest rooms. • Use low flow toilets (that use 1.6 �;allons or less per tlush) in �uest rooms. • Use automatic faucets or toilets in public restrooms. • Use water efficient c(othes washin� machines (that use less than 25 gallons per loaci). 3. Energy Efficiency At a minimum, ri�vo energy efficiency efforts must be implemented. • Use Energy Star-rated equipment (other than lighting). • Use programmable thermostats. • Use sensor lighting indoor/outdoor. • Use high energy efficient lighting (must be frunt-of-house). • Use a computerized Energy Management System. � Support green power: Either install renewable energy generating equipment (e.g. sular water heating system), purchase at least 5% green power through local utility, or purchase green tags (renewable energy �ertificates) from a�reen power generation source in Florida. 4. Waste Reduction All four waste reduction categories below must be implemented. • Provide opportunity to recycle all of the follo�ving materials and at least one must be available to guests: office paper, newspaper, magazines, corrugated cardboard, aluminum cans, steel cans and plastic bottles. • Purchase minimum 30% post-consumer recycled content for one of the following products: uffice paper, toilet tissues, paper towels or paper napkins. • Institute one of the following source reduction activities: bulk purchasing, reduced packaging or manufacturer take-back. • Recycle ink cartridges and toner cartridges. 5. Clean Air Practices All of the following clean air practices must be implemcnted. • Use en��ironmentaliy preferable �leaners. • Use high etticiency air tilters �vith a Minimum Efficiency f�ating Value 1�'IERV) of 3 or better. � Clean all air handler units and coils at least annually; follow a preventive maintenance schedule and keep a record of activitics. E. Schedule on-site assessment. Once the Green Team feels they have satistied the criteria, a brief on-site assessment from a trained assessor is required. Fill uut and submit the Request for On-site Revi�tiv forn�. An assessment �vill not be scheduled until a completed application is received. The purpose of the assessment is to determine if all the criteria have been met. A hotcl will be notified of the assessment results within 30 aays. Upon receiving designation, the hotel's name and accomplishments will be posted on the Flurida Green Lod,grng Program Web site and the hotel will receive all the benefits outlined in Section IV. NOTE: Please understand that one palm status depencis not only on implementing the green practices ;tated above, but also on securing top management cummitment.
