Industrial Waste Service, Inc. - Recycling/rates/mandatory garbage:
Mr. Tom Daley and Mr. Kerry Bazinet of Industrial Waste Services showed the Commission
the truck with equipment they use for recycling. They presented the recycling program
and the pricing schedule, and petitioned the City for a rate increase. The book that
they provided the Commission, shows their cost of doing business over a three year span.
Under the new federal laws, qualifying their men to drive will cost them an extra
$60,000 a year. They would like to see an $.85 per customer increase.
.
They said if the City elects to go to mandatory service and they do the billing on the
tax rolls, they are willing to give the City back $.50 per customer as an administrative
fee. They are willing to do the billing until the City is ready to get it on the tax
rolls. In the first system of the recycling program, the City will get the entire
proceeds. Southeast Recycling will weigh it and send the City a check every month.
The second system is a 50-50 split. Discussion. The third system, that I.W.S~ will keep
the proceeds and the cost will be reduced to $1.89 per customer, was accepted.
There was discussion of profits, costs and losses of Industrial Waste Services.
There was discussion of the costs and number of bins needed for recycling.
There was a consensus to go to mandatory garbage collection. Discussion. It was decided
to ask Bill Suber or the City Attorney how this would be paid by the homeowner.
Discussion of whether to put the bill on the water bill, to continue to let IWS collect,
or to try to put it on the tax rolls. It was decided by consensus, to ask I.W.S. to
continue to collect the bills with a $.50 increase for administrative fees for I.W.S.,
start the mechanism for the ordinances to make it mandatory, and eventually put it on
the tax rolls, with a view toward a longer term contract. A three month study was
agreed upon to see how the revenues are going, and how it is working out. Mandatory
recycling will probably be put into effect in September. The City will have to buy
the bins and be reimbursed. Discussion.
.
Revision of 1989/1990 Budget:
City Manager Rozansky explained that all of the department's budgets have been adjusted.
They made some adjustments to the Revenues. There is $128,435 additional revenue. As
we are behind on legal fees, $40,000 has been added to the City Clerk's budget.
$2,200 has been put in the Recreation Department in Activity Fees. $3,500 has been added
in Unemployment Compensation. The remaining $73,899 was put in Year-end Reserves.
In the Building Department, an additional $10,337 was added for the new Code Inspector
for the rest of the year. Water and Sewer West adjusted the connection fees for a total
of minus $122,429. These were the connection fees that we weren't able to pass on to
the developers. Capital Improvement went from $610,121 to $113,778. Due to combining
$12,944 at Water Treatment Plant 2, and $18,626 in Renewal and Replacement, we now have
$31,578 in Renewal and Replacement. The chlorine in Water Treatment Plant 2 was taken
out, as well as the $100,000 well.
