<br /> <br />Shelley Welsch, 7141 Delmar <br />Ms. Welsch explained that they were asked to focus on one aspect each of the two part <br />application.

Single Stream Recycling Containers <br />Ms. Evelyn Shields-Benford presented an update on solid waste management services. <br />She made a comparison between other cities in area of approximately the same size, <br />showing University City at the low end, in reference to what was charged. University <br />City is automating its single-stream recycling service. It was determined that the City <br />would need 12,800 carts city-wide, of which it has presently purchased 3,000 carts. The <br />remaining 9,800 carts would cost $405,000, which would be funded by budget <br />appropriation, reduced collection costs and other realized savings through efficiencies <br />implemented. Future items to be considered in order to continue to reduce cost and <br />increase revenues were: <br />? <br /> Increase revenue stream by working with adjoining municipalities, seeking business <br />accounts, accepting private sector solid waste, recyclables transferred directly to <br />vendors for processing. <br />? <br /> Consider cart replacement or cart rental fee <br />? <br /> Increase yard waste sticker price <br />? <br /> Bill for yard waste <br />? <br /> Eliminate free stickers, October through December <br /> <br />Ms. Shields-Benford stated that the Public Works facility needed to be updated along <br />with the transfer station. She recommended continuing to explore public-private <br />partnership opportunities to minimize city costs. <br />University City has been the regional leader in recycling. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci moved to go forward with the purchase of the remaining carts, seconded by <br />Mr. Wagner and was approved unanimously.` <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
