Topics would include diet, exercise, nutrition and healthy lifestyles. Also, they are recommending that we have positive signage and images around town engaging in sports, walking the dog, etc. Another recommendation was that citizens could go to a centrally located City office to pick up a pedometer that would be provided by local sponsors. This would help to encourage students to attain high level of fitness as measured by Fitnessgram. They created 10 rules for healthy citizens and want to advertise free physical activities in San Marcos. The final recommendation is to meet annually in March for two meetings minimum to discuss progress, additions and changes in direction. The City Council accepted the recommendations and directed them to go forward. 24. Update and discussion on the Residential Single Stream Recycling Program and provide direction to staff. Jo Secrest, Public Services Program Coordinator, reported that it has been one year since this program began. Over 1,200 tons of single stream recyclable have been collected: an increase of over 500 tons from the previous year. The participation rate is 50 %. Because the program has done so well, the City is eligible for $3,000 worth of trees. TDS is still working on a Smart Rewards Program as an added benefit.
