The <br />letter indicated United Waste Systems request to extend the rubbish contract in Centerville. <br />Within the next year, United Waste plans to establish an effective customer service relationship <br />that will be recognized by the Council and community. Mr. March commented extending the <br />contract is logical to see if their level of customer service increases. Councilmember Buckbee <br />commented United Waste should have addressed the customer service concerns prior to the <br />contract expiring. <br /> <br />Mr. Randy Hagerty (Recycling Coordinator) expressed United Waste has the same reoccurring <br />conflicts with customer service. Mr. March asked Mr. Hagerty to discuss his experiences with <br />United Waste. Mr. Hagerty reported the tonnage records are inaccurate, inconsistent and late. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber examined tire pick up fees presented from the haulers. Mayor Wilharber called <br />attention to United Waste tire pick up service at no cost to the residents. Mr. Hagerty explained <br />United Waste has no tire pick up fee because they are funded by SCORE funds. Mayor Wilharber <br />requested Mr. Hagerty clarify why SCORE funding was not addressed sooner. <br /> <br />It <br /> <br />Jeff Glewwe (Waste Management) stated they were unaware of any subsidization. Mr. March <br />requested Mr. Hagerty to clarify the agreement between SCORE funding and United Waste. Mr. <br />Hagerty explained most refuse haulers receive subsidies through the Anoka County SCORE <br />funding process. Furthermore, the County SCORE funding aids haulers with the cost to recycling. <br />Councilmember Buckbee asked, "Is it common for haulers to receive SCORE funds?" Mr. <br />Hagerty replied the fund is set up to off set recycling cost. Councilmember Buckbee questioned <br />
