ITEM 6: REQUEST FOR TRUSTEE APPROVAL OF A REQUEST BY THE CITY
MANAGER TO CONTINUE OPERATION OF THE YARDWASTE
SEPARATION PROGRAM.
Mr. Ray gave a review of the pilot program operated between April
11, 1990 and November 28, 1990. The program has been evaluated
from the records maintained during that time. He stated the
program has been a success in terms of the goals outlined in the
original proposal. Volume to the landfill has been reduced,
trips to the landfill have been reduced, cost of vehicle
operation has been reduced, and the capacity of refuse trucks
have been expanded in terms of the number of households one truck
can service. The programs did pay for itself when costs are
allocated on an actual basis and when the savings generated from
the reduced landfill fees is calculated.
He stated the staff is in general agreement that the operational
aspects need some enhancement. He continued by outlining some
changes that need to be made if this is to be a permanent program
of the City. These included equipment needed; location of the
compost site; Health Department permit required; and projected
cost and revenue.
He recommended to the Trustees that the program be continued and
authorize the staff to initiate an application for a "type-6"
permit for a site to be located in the existing southeast lagoon
cell no longer in use.
After discussion, a motion was made by P. Marlar, seconded by J.
Phillips, to continue the program and remain flexible in
correcting problems as we did last year, i.e. correcting
operational problems as they arise.
AYE: Marlar, Phillips, Gittelman, Stockler, Thompson
