HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - July 18, 2007 Council Member CommentContinued July 18,2007
In responseto Council Member Hansen, Mr. Krueger stated the trustee has requestedthe
note be extended after the original five-year period expired. City Manager King stated the
interest rate is competitive, cash flow is sufficient, and the arbitrage ability is good.
Mayor Pro Tempore Mounce requested the note be paid as quickly as possible or spread
out equally over the course of several years.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Krueger stated, from a cash flow standpoint
and the fact that the cost is negated by the arbitrage, staff is fine with the recommended
extension.

I am writing to follow up on your Council Comments during the July 18 City Council
meeting, regarding your witnessing a truck littering refuse on a public roadway.
Although you were unsure it was a Waste Management truck littering the roadway you
did comment that you called our office and expressed your concern to our office staff. I
want to assure you that Waste Management considers littering a serious offense. We
have taken the last few weeks to conduct a full investigation of this matter.
Unfortunately, due to the timing and awareness of the incident we were not able to pin
point the Waste Management truck and driver that you witnessed littering refuse.
Nonetheless, we took this opportunity to re -orientate our drivers about company policy
and the seriousness of littering, including, reminding the drivers and other operations
staff that littering is grounds for termination. In addition, so that we can immediately
address and resolve a litter complaint, we implemented an "escalation process", whereby,
if we receive a complaint call the Call Center Representative (CSR) is to immediately
notify the CSR Manager, who will then send out a "service alert" to the local District
Manager to assure that the driver is contacted immediately. Follow up service alerts are
also sent to the Market Area Vice President and Director of Operations.
If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at any
time at the telephone numbers listed below.
