MINUTES CITY COUNCIL September 13, 1989 MORATORIUM The City Attorney suggested that the Council wait to ON TRASH act on the issuance of trash hauler's licenses until HAULER'S Ordinance No. 320 has been published. Blesener pointed out that after the moratorium is lifted, the City will only be issuing commercial trash hauler's licenses. Blesener stated that the commercial haulers should also be forewarned that the City will be moving towards mandatory recycling for multi-family and commercial. Blesener pointed out that with the number of apartment units in the City, this will be necessary in order to meet the City's abatement goals. However, Blesener pointed out that the City will not achieve the same benefit from organized collection for commercial as it does from residential, pointing out that for commercial there is usually one hauler making one trip into a business or apartment complex and one trip out. Scalze asked if the City's license forms include a stipulation about mandatory recycling. The City Attorney felt there should be a stipulation on the forms, pointing out that the City wants to ensure that no hauler is acquiring vested rights. The forms should state that the license is subject to the possibility that the City will go to mandatory organized trash collection and recycling. Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 89-9-437 - ALLOWING INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL TRASH HAULING LICENSES WITH THE CONDITION THAT THESE LICENSES ARE SUBJECT TO ANY ORGANIZED MANDATORY COLLECTION AND RECYCLING TAAT MAY OCCUR, AND TABLING ACTION ON ANY LICENSE APPLICATIONS UNTIL ORDINANCE NO. 320 IS PUBLISHED The foregoing resoltuion was duly seconded by Mrs. Scalze.
