e e e solid waste haulers. Currently, solid waste business license terms run from January 1 through December 31. The second ordinance would change the dates to July 1 through June 30. This is in conjunction with changes to the annual license fee structure from one based on a flat fee per business/vehicle to one based on a percentage of gross receipts. These fee changes are set forth in the proposed administrative orders included in the council packets. Both of the proposed ordinances have been reviewed by the Solid Waste and Recy- cling Board (SWRB) and local haulers, and are recommended for adoption. Responding to a question from Ms. Ehrman, Ms. Utecht said a draft report on recycling yard debris will be presented to the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) soon. Responding to a question from Ms. Bascom, Ms. Utecht said that as required by new State legislation, Oregon government agencies are required to purchase products made with recyclable materials (i.e., paper). Mayor Miller opened the public hearing. Jason Lovewell, Countryside Disposal, testified in support of the proposed ordinances. He felt that the proposed ordinances would provide a more fair way of doing business. There being no other requests to speak, the public hearing was closed.
