In addition to normal updates provided at TIRRA General Membership Meetings, there is a call to all voters (TIRRA members and property owners) to attend.
At the April TIRRA AGM, there was a member approved motion for TIRRA executive to pursue the reopening of the recycle portion of yard services. An information sheet** has been prepared, providing updates on suppliers, taxation, products accepted/not accepted and options: most significantly the incremental costs required to facilitate removal of recyclables from our island.
TIRRA Solid Waste Committee does not intend to come to the GM with a prepared motion: we wish the community to provide direction via discussion and attendance.
We expect a motion will be received from the floor which will have an impact on residential property owners (taxpayers) and/or those who utilize the recycle service. Therefore we strongly encourage your attendance.
There is a separate document which provides a cost analysis** (breakdown of cost and historical/projected parcel tax implications).
Please review the information and attend the GM.
If you have questions or suggestions, please share via email by July 17th to tirra@thetisisland.net.
We will try to consolidate the information and post for all to consider, by July 20th.
TIRRA Executive
