Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. ORGANIZED The City Administrator reviewed his report dated May 22, 2009 relative COLLECTION to issues related to organized collection. The Administrator reported that CONTRACT Ilorrigan Hauling will be discontinuing trash collection service to the six properties that they service in Little Canada given it is not economically feasible for them to service this small number of accounts. Waste Management handles the recycling for these properties and will continue to do so. The Horrigan accounts will be transferred to Gene's Disposal for hash collection only. The Administrator indicated, however, that while six accounts will be transferred to Gene's, it will likely not be the same six accounts as collection efficiencies will be a consideration. The Administrator also reported that when the Organized Collection Contract was amended a couple of years ago switching to single-sort recycling, there was some additional costs to the haulers for providing single-sort containers. At that time, more of the cost was shifted from disposal to recycling since sales tax was not charged on recycling, thus saving some money for residents. Gene's Disposal was not able to provide single-sort recycling, and with the shift in costs, Gene's lost some disposal revenue given his recycling rates did not reflect the shift in costs. In addition, Gene's continued to do their own account billing. The Administrator indicated that the proposed contract amendment modifies pricing for Gene's and will allow him to realize price escalators that are available to other hatiders. It also provides that the City will take over billing Gene's accounts effective January 1, 2010. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2009-5-120 -APPROVING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE ORGANIZED COLLECTION CONTRACT AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CITYADMINISTRATOR AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITYADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT ON BEIIALF OF THE CITY l0
