Councilman McGinley was absent.

ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.
The County Board of Health says that they are no longer comfortable with
standalone trash bags (not in a can) at curb side being in "regular" plastic trash bags.
They feel they are too thin. They want trash to be in thick contractor bags.
The kind found at Home Depot that cost around 50 cents each.
The council discussed - and the comment that summed it up was that
this would be hard to enforce and most everyone would be in violation.
No decision was made. The issue was tabled till the next meeting.
(Rumor has it that the contractor's bag will not become be a requirement.)
