GARBAGE RATE Consideration of the request of the Sanitary City Disposal PM PERMIT TO Company for an increase in domestic garbage rates being HAUL INCREASED the next item on the agenda, Councilman Kirsten excused himself from the meeting because of possible conflict of ORD. I•IO. 776 interest and left the Council Chambers. The City Clerk INTRODUCED read a communication from C. C. Baumbach objecting to any increase in rates. Mr. Glaves read a letter from Mr. Max Elson, the Company's insurance carrier, explaining the.increase in insurance rates for the Company. Attorney Robert Mertz, 404 West Pine Street, addressed the Council on behalf of the Disposal Company. He stated that the Company had received a copy of the report pre- pared by the City Manager on the requested increase and in light of the report's contents, the Company is amending its application by withdravring its request for an increase on the second can and by requesting a 20p, increase on the first can instead of 30c. Mr. Glaves said it should also be decided whether an increase should be only on domestic garbage or on commercial also. Mr. Rudy Vaccarezza of the Disposal Company said agreements are worked out on an individual basis for commercial service and increase in rates would be for increase in service. Councilman Culbertson felt the commercial rates should be reviewed. Councilman Dow moved the introduction of Ordinance No. 776 amending Section 11-3 of the City Code and thereby setting the domestic garbage rate for the first container at $1.30 per month, effective on all service rendered on and after January 15, 1965. His motion was seconded by Councilman Culbertson and carried unanimously. Mr. Glaves explained that the Code provides that those who do not want garbage service are able to obtain a per- mit to haul their own garbage for $5 per year. This fee was established in 1949 and its relationship to the gar- bage rates has not been kept up. Mayor Brown considered that $15 would be a reasonable fee. However, other members of the Council were of the opinion that $10 would be sufficient. Councilman Walton moved that Section 11-8 of the Code be amended to provide for a hauling permit fee of $10 per year, including it in Ordinance No. 776 just introduced. His motion was seconded by Councilman Culbertson and carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen - CULBERTSON, DOW and WALTON Noes; Councilmen - BROWN Absent: Councilmen - KIRST&II Councilman Kirsten returned to the Council meeting.
