Environmental Management Advisory Committee (EMAC) The Environmental Management Advisory Committee (EMAC) serves to inform the public and the City Council on issues concerning solid waste management, fees, and service provider licensing. EMAC also strives to improve public knowledge on conserving energy and material resources, promoting resource recovery (i.e. yard debris), and protecting the health of the environment through public disposal events and programs, including biosolids. EMAC consists of seven members, of which the majority must be residents of the City. Members serve for a term of three years with a term expiration on January 31st. EMAC meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month but less frequently in the summer.
