REVkEW£Q%RECQMMENDS: GC_ A Rosevzlle residen� recently broug�t to th� staffts at�ention a pxovision of the barbage and rubbish ordxnance which requires s�mi weekl collection from resa.dences between h�ay 1 and October 31 0� each year. Section 14�.070 of the Czty Code xeads: Titnes of ColZection. Each Iicensea garbage collec�or shall make collec�ions . at least wee ly rom residences and sema-weekly �ram hat�Is, res�aurants, boaxd- ing houses, etc. from Novembex 1 to April 30, of each year and at least semi- weekly from residences an.d daily £rom hotels, restaurants, boarding houses, etc. from A'1ay Z to Octaber 31 of earh year. Most resid.ences have w-eekl� collection of their garbage and, thexe�ore, would not be in compliance with the O nance. Mr. Walter Jopke, City 5anztaxian, indica�ed that requiring semi-weekiy collection is tmreasonabie fox xesidences during any tur►e of the year. Therefore, he suggested that Section 141.070 of the City Code reas as fQllows: "Times of Gollectian. Each iicensed garbage collector shall make collectians at eas wee y rom residences and semi-weekly from hotels, restaurants, boarding hoUSes, etc. oir mare often if necessary." �-� xeviewing the ordinance, Nir, Jopke also reco�aends �hat Section I41.050 of the City .,ode be changed to xead: "Truck. Each licensed garbage col.lector sha�l px�vide a truck so constructed t�a� t tfie contents will not Ieak or spill therefrom in which alI gaxbage callected by him sha11 be conveyed to �he place desi.gnated in his application. The convey- ance used sha3.1 be kept clean and as free from offensive odors as possible, and shall not be allawed to stand in any street, a11ey, or public place Ionger than is reasonably necessaxy to co��ect garb age." Sectzon 141.05� presently reads: "Ta�c or Wagon. Each licensed garbage collector sha�.1. provi.de a covered ta.nk ar wagon sa constructed that the conten�s wi11 not Ieak or spz�.I therefrom �n which al� garbage co�Iected by him shall be conveyed to the place designated in his application. The wagon or conveyance used shall be kept �lean and as free frvm o�£ensive odors as possible and shall not be alZowed to stan.d in any s�reet, alley or public place Zonger than is reasonably necessar,;yito collect gaxbage." Mr. Jopke feels -that the requirement £or a tank or wagon is outdated and should bs replaced by the rec{uirement of a�ruck. Counc�l Acti.on Requestec�: Matian instruct�n� the City Attorney to prepare amencTments to Sections 1A1.050 and 141.070 of the City Code. �� � ,� �
