Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 17,2013 <br /> Page 18 <br /> Member DeBenedet opined that if the City dealt with only one contractor, that <br /> vendor would still send out many trucks and divide the City into routes; whether <br /> divided by neighborhoods or however, and the PWETC could put a proposal to- <br /> gether and determine a reasonable way to accomplish it. Member DeBenedet <br /> cautioned the City Council that the PWETC may not recommend the least expen- <br /> sive vendor, depending on their qualifications and the information in their pro- <br /> posal. However, Member DeBenedet further opined that it was not the role of <br /> government to protect every small business in the state, using as a reference the <br /> little mom and pop grocery and hardware stores that had not survived; suggesting <br /> that it was just the way things were in the business community. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte noted that while she had not been on the City Council <br /> when this was initiated, she had heard citizen opinions in her campaigning. From <br /> her personal perspective, Councilmember Laliberte opined that this was not a high <br /> priority; however, she would provide a list of things she'd want to know from the <br /> PWETC before making a decision. Councilmember Laliberte advised hat her <br /> goal would not be to protect business as much as to protect the choice of home- <br /> owners. In hearing both sides of the issue during her campaigning, Councilmem- <br /> ber Laliberte noted that some were in favor or organized hauling, mostly based on <br /> the perceived wear and tear to streets, but she had also heard from more home- <br /> owners who preferred the current status quo, and liked the option of changing <br /> vendors if they weren't receiving good services from their current vendor. If or- <br /> ganized collection is proposed, Councilmember Laliberte noted that this then <br /> eliminated that choice for homeowners. Councilmember Laliberte opined that she <br /> was not convinced that the information on wear and tear on roads was conclusive <br /> enough for her, given the other large vehicle traffic through town, including the <br /> City's own snow plows and equipment. In the interim, Councilmember Laliberte <br /> challenged individual Councilmembers to talk to their neighbors to determine if <br /> they could coordinate vendors themselves to reduce traffic on their streets. <br /> Councilmember Etten stated that he was in agreement with the majority of things <br /> he'd heard tonight. Councilmember Etten opined that it made sense to divide the <br /> City as indicated by Member DeBenedet; however, he thought the concept that a <br /> garbage can size should be mandated seemed unfounded, while the ability to pick <br /> any size container and still provide standards of service with City oversight <br /> through a contract was feasible to ensure there was no reduction in service. Re- <br /> garding the problem of residents with lack of notice for increases in collection <br /> fees from current vendors, Councilmember Etten opined came back to whether or <br /> not it was a public utility similar to that consideration for recycling services, <br /> which he thought was comparable. Councilmember Etten opined that the concern <br /> for not running out some of the City's current haulers would not be accomplished <br /> by handing out sections of the community to certain vendors, and would indeed <br /> lose the economy of costs being sought. <br />
