Ms. Daugherty stated that she was interested in giving merchants the discount because to not do so placed an unfair burden on small businesses. Ms. Daugherty noted that small busineSses serve people who are more disadvantaged and walk to purchase stickers. Ms. Daugherty made a motion to maintain the current system for trash sticker sales, giving a 5% discount to merchants. Mr. Vandever seconded the motion. Ms. Slaughter expressed concern about giving the discount at a time when the community should be working together. Ms. Slaughter noted that some of the businesses volunteered to sell the stickers and she would prefer that it be continued on a volunteer basis~ Ms. Slaughter stated that she would favor continuing the current system without the discount, adding that the loss of ~23,000 was not insignificant. Mr. Toscano stated that he shared Ms. Slaughter's concerns. Mr. Toscano stated that it does not appear that a substantial number of merchants will stop selling the stickers if the discount is not given and noted that the stickers are voluntarily sold by merchants and it would be a different situation if they were required to sell them.
