COUNCIL BUSINESS                                                                                               

 

Ordinance Series of 2008, No. 001 – A general ordinance relating to solid waste management and resource recovery, granting an exclusive franchise to Dan Walker Disposal Service, Inc., to collect, transport, and convey solid waste upon the streets within the city, and to dispose of or recover materials or energy from such solid wastes and to recycle recyclable materials; and repealing Ordinance Series of 1991, No. 10.

 

Dave White and Joe Cook reviewed the rate proposal and changes to the ordinances.  Residential recycling will be on the same day as garbage pickup but lawn debris was not calculated in the rates.  This service is very expensive.  It was proposed to have a couple of clean up days in Estacada with a drop off site for lawn debris.  Mayor Austin felt that same day recycling will encourage people to recycle.  Commercial recycling is also included in the new proposed rates. 

 

The council discussed the proposed changes to the ordinance submitted by Dave White.  The council would like the city attorney to have a chance to review the changes.

 

Cr. Conditt moved to adopt Ordinance Series of 2008, No. 001 – A general ordinance relating to solid waste management and resource recovery, granting an exclusive franchise to Dan Walker Disposal Service, Inc., to collect, transport, and convey solid waste upon the streets within the city, and to dispose of or recover materials or energy from such solid wastes and to recycle recyclable materials; and repealing Ordinance Series of 1991, No. 10 including the changes in the June 24, 2008 memo from Dave White contingent on City Attorney review and approval.  Cr. Arnold seconded the motion.  The motion passed unanimously.

 

Ordinance Series of 2008, No. 002 – A general ordinance relating to solid waste management and resource recovery, granting an exclusive franchise to American Sanitary Service, Inc., to collect, transport, and convey solid waste upon the streets within the city, and to dispose of or recover materials or energy from such solid wastes and to recycle recyclable materials.
