DISCUSSION - SOLID WASTE RATE INCREASE
Jim Junker, Junker Sanitation, met with Council to discuss
rate increase for solid waste. City Coordinator Kriesel
explained to Council that tipping fees at the RDF plant are
going to be increased by $8.81 per ton. It is difficult for
Mr. Junker to determine exact tonnage for the City of
Stillwater because of service to other communities. A
compromise figure of 9,000 tons was reached to use as a basis
for calculating costs. The proposed rate increase is $1.65
per resident per month, with an increase of $.55 per month
for senior citizens. Mr. Junker also proposed opening the
dump every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon in order for citizens
to dispose of brush. Brush would no longer be picked up on
regular routes except for senior citizens.
Stillwater resident Jack Evert addressed Council regarding
Junker Sanitation's long term contract with the City. He
stated that he feels the citizens are entitled to more
information regarding Mr. Junker's expenses.
Motion by Councilmember Farrell, seconded by Councilmember Kimble
to approve garbage rates as proposed ($12.65 regular, $10.40 for
Senior Citizens) effective July I, 1988 through June 3D, 1989;
and that during that period the City Council and Staff work with
Mr. Junker on a cost allocation system. (All in favor)
Motion by Councilmember Farrell, seconded by Councilmember Kimble
for a first reading of an Ordinance amending Stillwater City Code
establishing garbage and rubbish fees. (All in favor)
Motion hy Councilmernber Farrell, seconded by Councilmember
