Mostcomments noted. supporting the city <br />contracting for hauling services, only if prices would stay consistent or go down. <br />Commercial Responses <br />Of the businesses who responded, five different garbage haulers provide. services:. Waste Management (serves <br />four respondents), Gene'.s.(three), Walter's Recycling &Refuse (two), RoadRunner.(one);.and Nitti Sanitation <br />(one). Responders were: sati - sfied with their services, as 64% reported being 'somewhat. satisfied% and 36% were <br />'extremely satisfied'.. <br />Monthly rates did not vary as much for businesses compared to residential.respondents. Nine of the. business. <br />respondents reported a rate of $150 or more. The Montessori School reported a rate of between. $50. and. $74.99 <br />with RoadRunner, while.another business responded that. their rate was $100 — $124.99 a. month with Waste <br />Management. <br />Unlike residential responses, ten of the eleven businesses who responded were not interested in the city <br />contracting for garbage hauling. One was `indifferent' to.the idea; they commented they would support the city <br />contracting for hauling services if the city can get a better price. No other comments were received from business <br />respondents. <br />NEXT STEPS <br />Given the. split in opinion, the commissioners want to forward the information to the City Council to see what. <br />direction the Council would Iike to move in with regards to contracting for hauling services, The commission can <br />review other changes to make to Ordinance 45 in the meantime... <br />
