MERJ TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR DATE: MARCH 18, 1986 SUBJECT: 1986 SPRING CLEAN UP Now that we have all survived the Ides of March, our thoughts turn to Spring and the City's Annual Clean Up Day. This year staff has developed a proposal for your consideration that would provide a greater level of service for our residents, address the issues of landfill abatement and preservation of our environment and hopefully reduce the level of subsidy provided by the City. The specific proposal is as follows: Date: Saturday, May 10, 1986 Time: 9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. Note: The hours have been reduced so that all materials and equipment may be removed on that date and prior to landfill cios'_ng at 3:30 p.m. This also deals with the "free -loaders" we have had problems with in the past. Location: City Hall Public Works Garage Lot Services: All recyclable material i.e., newspaper, glass, tires and appliances, as well as non-compostable yard waste would be handled by Beerman Services. Rita Docken will attempt to find haulers) that will handle used oil, batteries, paints, solvents, yard chemicals, etc. that cannot be handled by Beerman. All non -recyclable materials will be handled by the hauler we have used successfully for the past 4 years, i.e., Container Service. The City will again compact the materials in 30 yard boxes using the City's front-end loader operated by a Public Works employee. As in the past, Goodwill Industries will also have a truck available to take donations. Beerman Serices will provide labor to assist with the unloading of vehicles. Collection of receints and traffic control will be handled by the City. Hopefully, Council - members will again volunteer their services for this purpose.
