~ e n':?59 t..: .......J ~ I ,10/13/99 ., -- - -- . ~ , , -- - -- - -- I private group to make this as a project ~twice a year. There are some who cannot afford to pay the rate indicated at the present time. Mayor Anders~n said the fundamental question was the matter of responsibility of the City as to funding this type operation. : The Council has to give some indication whether or not staff should take this into consideration~~ and ask staff to report cost. Do they want to go a step beyond leaf collection and pick up organic material also? The Council should let the staff know so they can bring back a realistic recommendation. Mrs. Hayward said what the Council really asked for were possible things that could be done. It may be necessary to insist that citizens make some arrangements to remove their debris. Twice a year will not,be sufficient. .Peop1e will have to get rid of it ~egular1y. Mayor Anderson said he thought the Council sought first to seek cooperation from garbage collectors to pick up organic material; second to investigate the possibility of the City accepting this responsibility; third to investigate the possibility of a special rate, using either of these e two methods; four, whether the City would like to pick up the entire cost. Dr. Purdy asked whether this included consideration of special licenses for private companies. Mr. Ray asked if what the Council was talking about was material which results from landscaping acitivites of residents. Mrs. Hayward said there should be a way to separate this from bathtubs and davenos. Mayor Anderson said Mr. Mohr's definition was a good one in this case. I Mrs. Beal said she had also asked for a memo on the ordinance now in effect which will have some bearing on accumulation of trash in residences. Mayor Anderson said this will be long range, and the Council is discussing a short range program. Vote taken on motion. Motion carried. 10.
