(brush) $ 2,850.00 <br /> Maust (tires) $ 597.75 <br /> Container Service (general disposal) $11,906.12 <br /> TOTAL $16,140.37 <br /> PROFIT/LOSS: ($4,699.27) <br /> The fees were raised in 1991 in anticipation of increased expenditures. However, <br /> this action did not provide sufficient revenue to offset the substantial loss. <br /> The 1991_budget provided only$5-,_0Df for Spring-Cl pan Ula.—- In order-to pay for <br /> the total expenditures, it is necessary for Council to authorize a fund transfer <br /> fro the Contingency Fund. <br /> The attached resolution has been prepared for Council approval. <br /> The history of the annual clean-up day has been one of expenditures exeeding <br /> revenues despite increased fees. In this time of tight budget and service re- <br /> evaluations, the future of providing an annlual clean-up service may need to be <br /> examined. The purpose of any re-examination is to determine the feasiblity, pros <br /> and cons, of shifting the costs of the service from the City to otherservice <br /> providers such as waste and recycling haulers. It is proposed that this re- <br /> examination of the annual clean-up day program be coupled with a re-evaluation of <br /> the City's recycling program. It has been a few years since the recycling <br /> program has been reviewed for the purpose of exploring service alternatives. <br /> RECOMMENDATION; ,�! <br /> Samantha Orduno, City Administrator <br /> (See page 2, paragraph 3) <br />
