MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Clerk-Administrat DATE: March 28, 1984 SUBJECT: 1984 SPRING CLEAN UP DAY As discussed with you at the Council Meeting on March 26th, several issues need to be decided by the City Council prior to publicizing the Spring Clean Up Day for 1984 which has been scheduled for May 19th. The specific issues are as follows: 1. Time of event. In the past it has been the City's practice to have the Spring Clean Up Day from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., however, it has been my observation over the past three years that the major activity occurs between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., therefore, I would recommend that the hours for the 1984 Spring Clean Up Day be from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 2. Waste hauler. In the past two years the City has used Waste Control, Inc. to do the hauling of the materials collected during the day's activities. This company has provided the City with most satisfactory service and I have been advised that they will do the work for 1984 at a cost of $135.00 per load, with a one time delivery charge of $25.00. This is an increase of $5.00 per load, with the addition of the $25.00 delivery charge. After reviewing prices received in 1983 for the same work and considering the fact that the level of service we have received has been most satisfactory, staff would recommend the City use Waste Control, Inc. during the 1984 Clean Up Day. 3. In 1983 the City had a Public Works employee present on an overtime basis for a four hour period during the afternoon of the Clean Up Day to use the front end loader to pack down the 30 yard containers thus allowing us to have more material hauled using the same number of boxes we had used in previous years. Staff would recommend that Council again authorize the use of a Public Works employee on an overtime basis during the 1984 Clean Up Day for the entire six hour period. Staff would appreciate Council direction in each of these items. DFP/pf
