[Summit] Plastic Bags

[Jim kelley]

Maybe use the fee collected to purchase reuseable bags to be given to anyone who needs one (exclude EBT customers from the fee). After awhile the fee will go down because everyone will have their bags and the money can be used just for replacements.


Best,

Jim Kelley
