Ron completed the survey of Reading downtown <br />businesses. Laurie Ann summarized the responses in a nicely formatted <br />spreadsheet. Of 14 businesses surveyed, 12 have responded so far. Most indicated <br />a willingness to recycle cardboard if a bin were available in the parking lot and <br />willingness to give up one parking space for the bin. CVS requested that the survey <br />questions be directed to their corporate office. Gina drafted and Ron edited a letter <br />to CVS corporate office and this was reviewed and approved by the committee with <br />one suggested edit - to give a deadline for response. Ron will sign the letter as <br />Acting Chair of the committee and will mail it. Ron also drafted a letter to Town <br />Manager Bob Lelacheur to inform him that the businesses responded favorably and <br />to request that Bob work with us to designate a spot for the recycling bin. <br />Page 1 1 <br />2013 -09 -03 <br />
