The Motion died for lack of a second. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Sweeney. seconded by Council Member Broussard Vickers that. <br />pendine approval of an amendment to the contract with Waste Manaeement the <br />City will extend an invitation to the Centerville Lions to distribute the recycline bins <br />and to be paid for by Waste Manaeement. Ayes - 3. Nays - l(Capra). Motion <br />carried. <br /> <br />Mr. Gary Boyum asked if the other contract aspects could be discussed. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that the Waste Management contract has them picking up <br />items that are no longer picked up curb side and Mr. Boyum has presented an idea of a <br />sticker program whereby residents can purchase a sticker from City Hall to place on a <br />large item to be removed to help defray some of the costs associated with disposal of the <br />item. She also suggested the City may need to consider charging residents for clean up <br />day because the SCORE grant may not be available for 2003. <br /> <br />Mr. Boyum provided documentation on the sticker program and explained that he has to <br />send a separate truck to pick up larger items. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra commented that she thought residents pay an abatement fee on <br />the garbage bill in order to be able to put out large items for pick up. Mr. Boyum <br />indicated he was not aware of an abatement fee. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra commented that this is one of the few services that the City offers <br />residents and she would be interested in paring down the list but wants to still provide <br />this service without an additional fee. <br /> <br />Mr. Boyum explained that when this contract went into effect, everything was going to a <br />landfill but now, everything goes to a bum facility and they are charged $10 for every <br />mattress and they cannot bring construction debris to the facility. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney asked Staff to look into the garbage bill concerning the abatement fee <br />and present an addendum for Council review. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she feels there is a need to move to a <br />sticker program and would prefer not to pay an abatement fee but let those getting rid of <br />large items pay for a sticker to do so. She then commented that the days of being able to <br />provide services for some, paid for by the whole City, have come and gone. She also <br />commented that the City could not afford to host a free clean up day. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated it has been her experience in other communities that a free <br />recycling day brings in a lot of stuff from outside the City. <br /> <br />Page 11 of 18 <br />
