Mayor Wilharber referred to a recent article on the "excessive use" of stop signs, <br />and did not recommend implementing additional signage. <br /> <br />MOTION by Mayor Wilharber to deny the petition request for signage on Heritage Street and <br />Progress Road based on the Police report and the North Central Section Institute of <br />Transportation Engineers (NCITE) traffic study. In addition, Mayor Wilharber requested the <br />petitioner be forwarded a copy of the traffic study. Motion seconded by Councilmember Brenner. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />United Wast Complaint <br />Ms. Clara Ayde (7193 W. Robin Lane) briefed the Council on her refuse concerns. She first <br />pointed out, United Waste does not provide Centerville's contract information on the back of <br />their billing statements which may cause confusion in the community. Also, Ms. Ayde contacted <br />United Waste on three occasions where she asked the same question each time and received three <br />different answers. Finally, Ms. Ayde understood there was no change to the current contract <br />despite being charged for an extra 90 gallon containers. <br /> <br />t <br /> <br />Mr. Ron Gersdorf(United Waste) responded to Ms. Aydes concern. Mr. Gersdorf explained the <br />information on the back of the billing statement is exclusive to Centerville residential accounts and <br />United Waste employees are directed to journal calls in the "Journal of Communications." Mr. <br />Gersdorf noted no calls from Ms. Ayde were logged in the journal. Furthermore, the tax <br />abatement charges have changed effective November 1, 1997. However, the bill shows a <br />decrease in the premium, which reflects the amended refuse contract. Mr. Gersdorf explained <br />there always has been a $7.25 charge for picking up extra containers. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber noted in the month of October United Waste received four complaints which <br />translate to .0049% of the service and he mentioned how this percentage is exceptionally low. <br />Councilmember Powers recalled from a previous meeting that United Waste stated there would be <br />no charge to pick up extra containers. Councilmember Powers suggested Staff review the refuse <br />contract discussion from the past Council meeting tapes. <br /> <br />MOTION by Mayor Wilharber to authorize Staff to review past Council meeting minutes and <br />tapes then report findings to the Council. Motion seconded by Councilmember Brenner. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />APPEARANCES <br /> <br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />3 <br />
