City of Founds View Ballot Question Petition - Initiative <br />A proposal to place into the city charter, establishing a limit of <br />3 residential licensed haulers and 3 commercial licensed haulers <br />to operate in the city, maintaining choice & reducing truck traffic. <br />Maintaining the ability of single family, multi -family, HOA, and commercial <br />properties to choose from any city licensed hauler. <br />-------------------------------------- <br />Limitation on number of licenses. <br />(a) Purpose. It is the intent of the city to reduce the number of solid waste collection licenses <br />issued. The means of this reduction will be through attrition. The limitation is deemed necessary to <br />protect the health, safety and welfare of the city and its residents. <br />(b) Limitation exception. No more than three residential collection licenses and three commercial <br />collection licenses may be in force at any time, except that all companies licensed by the city as of <br />September 1, 2015, may be relicensed according to the following conditions: <br />(1) The licensee has conformed to all city, county, state and federal laws related to solid <br />waste collection. <br />(2) There is no lapse in the license period <br />(3) The licensee submits a fully completed annual renewal form, payment and all required <br />documentation by the due date for renewals. Incomplete applications shall be returned to the <br />licensee and must be resubmitted by the original due date. Failure to submit a renewal, <br />payment and all required documentation by the original due date will be cause for the city to <br />deny the renewal of the license. <br />(4) Licenses are nontransferable, except when an existing licensee undergoes incorporation, <br />sale or merger with another existing city licensed collector, so long as the ownership, control, <br />and interest in the license remain with a pre-existing licensee. <br />(5) The type of service offered (i.e., commercial/industrial/multifamily or residential) has not <br />increased from the previous license period. <br />(6) There has been no increase in the number of trucks as listed in the application for the <br />previous year's license. <br />(7) Licenses must not have been suspended more than two times in a 12-month period, or <br />revoked. <br />(c) Merger or acquisition. In the event that a licensed hauler is merged or acquired by another <br />licensed hauler, the number of trucks listed shall be added together. <br />(d) Additional licenses. The city council may add additional licenses by ordinance, after making <br />findings that doing so would increase competition, lower prices, and result in better service. <br />
