City Council Meeting – November 28, 2005
innovative dry cleaning business uses Green Earth solvents in their cleaning process, which are
more environmentally friendly, non-hazardous, and cleaning the clothes just as well without
damaging so it’s a new trend in the industry. They’ve also implemented a company wide
recycling process for all their cardboard boxes. Do accept hangers and, brought into them by
their customers so we’d like to recognize and congratulate Dry Cleaning Station and Rich
Westerberg this evening. Congratulations. At this time I’d like to invite Mark Taintor to join us
up here. For many of us our daily commute is one of the worst parts of our day. Mark, instead
of driving in a car, has been driving his bike to make it a little bit better. He’s been commuting
by bike to and from work for the last 4, almost 5 years. It started out locally. Commuting about
2 ½ miles each way here in town but when his job location changed out to Victoria, he continued
to bike now 8 ½ miles one way, or each way. Does it year round which gives many people
thought to wonder how he could do that but we appreciate the fact that he’s doing it and want to
recognize his ability to doing it. He’s making a positive impact on our city and hope that he can
inspire other people to leave their keys at home at least once in a while and hop on their bike so,
Mark very good. Congratulations.
Mark Taintor: Thank you very much.
