Repeal of plastic bag ban, Ordinance 21-23
Approved · 3-2
Environmental Director Issa Hamud asked the council to repeal the disposable plastic bag prohibition set to start January 1, 2022, citing its effect on low-income families, the pandemic and difficulty of implementation, in favor of a countywide program. Council Member Amy Anderson wanted repeal or a deadline extension and favored fees to change behavior; López wanted the County's official position first; Chair Mark Anderson said the County had not yet decided. A first motion by Jensen failed for lack of a second. A second motion by Jensen, seconded by Mark Anderson, repealed chapter 8.36 on a 3-2 roll call. A student, Lacey, urged the council to keep the ban, citing microplastics research.

The council supported a countywide program under which retailers either eliminate free single-use bags or use an approved recycling program, or provide bags only for a $0.10 per-bag fee the retailer keeps; businesses may also recycle plastic film with quarterly reports.
