Possible Flrst Reading of Amendment to the City Code, Chap. 30, Garbage & Rubbish Removal. Council discussed the memo received from Tim Schmolke, Chairman of the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, which involved some of the following points: Establish the Comittee as a "standing" committee and define responsibilities of the committee; budget sufficient funds to carry out objectives of Solid Waste Management plan, especially educational programs; and discuss the two proposed volume-based fee systems and choose one. r, City Coordinator Kriesel addressed the possibility of the City acquiring containers, rather than the contractor, stating that it would amount to about 20t per household over a five-year period. Also, we may be lucky to get about $30,000 in grant money. Jim Junker stated maintenance of containers needs to be considered and further discussion followed on these points. Discussion followed by Council on approval of the contract, including the length of the contract and renewal options. Richard Kilty, 118 W. Oak St., distributed his calculations of solid waste estimates and stated the system set up in the proposed ordinance and contract is illegal, unfair and incomplete and transfers a City obligation to the homeowner by collecting a private debt. Also, it is unfair because to be truly volume-based, the rate should be the same for every gallon that is picked up. City Attorney Magnuson addressed some of the points in Mr. Kilty's memo by stating there are a number of different methods of handling this item. Jack Evert, 550 So. Grove St., stated the most important issue in this contract is the change to a volume-based system. There is also a major investment with the purchase of containers. Also, it is not unreasonable to have a set contract time, but he would like to see an estimate of what it takes to recover the investment. Mr. Junker gives good service, but he has concerns that the contract is being pushed through. He feels it would be better to go through the bid process if this will be in place for a i..Il 3 (! Stillwater City Council Minutes January 7, 1992 Recessed Meeting long time. If the City bought the containers, it would reduce the investment for the contractor and the length of the contract. Tim SChmolke, Chairman of the Solid Waste Committee, stated the City cannot put this contract out for bid because of state law -- the deadline is past and Council made a motion to enter into negotiations with Junker Sanitation on December 4, 1991. He also stated the Committee was to review the proposed contract and ordinance and they did not receive it. He again suggested that the committee be designated as a "standing" committee. The second point in his memo addressed funds to be budgeted for the education program. He further discussed the shortfall in recycling funds and how this may be taken care of. The County grant does not have money available for these programs, but some of that money is supposed to pay for this. His third point proposed a sample volume-based fee program. Also, if the Committee is the one to work on the program, tell them and they will continue to advise the Council. Jim Junker, Junker Sanitation, stated he has attended many meetings over the last two years and asked why the City has to search any further. He needs to receive a decent rate or a national hauler may come in. He also contributes to ball teams , hockey teams, etc. in the City. r Mayor Abrahamson and Councilmember Funke stated they had a chance to go though Junker Sanitation's books. Choc Junker, 1001 No. Fourth St., asked who will pay for the containers? We have a good system now -- Junker Sanitation won't make any money. Debbie Junker, Junker Sanitation, stated whether the Contractor or the City buys the containers, at some point the City will be required to have them and if the City buys the containers, they will have to invest in micro-chips, bar code equipment, etc. Tim Schmolke stated he agrees with Jim Junker that the container system may be the way to go for the future. He advised Council to scrutinize the two systems before they decide. He also stated he is not totally uncomfortable with the rates that are proposed, but the biggest concern is that everyone realizes that those are Junker Sanitation's proposed costs to the City of Stillwater and may not be an actual cost to the citizens. There are other costs to this program besides Junker Sanitation costs. He again stressed the need for an educational program. Council recessed for five minutes and reconvened at 9:25 P.M. Council discussion ensued and they commended the Solid Waste Advisory Committee for their work. l" 4 (' Stillwater City Council Minutes January 7, 1992 Recessed Meeting (' Motion by Councilmember Opheim, seconded by Councilmember Farrell to establish the Solid Waste Advisory Committee as a standing committee of the City, which will meet on a regular basis; and for which the Staff will devise a job description.
