r MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNC i FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATO DATE: JUNE 30, 1989 SUBJECT: 1989 SPRING CLEAN UP DAY Attached for your information please find the Profit/Loss Statement for the 1989 Spring Clean Up Day. You will note from the report that our exrenses for removal of waste increased substantially due to the fact that 27 containers were taken away. Also, 260 tires were removed, a significant increase over past years. Although we collected more fees than in the p?st, $4,078.80, we still ended up having an operating loss for this activity in the amount of $2,212,77. Staff has listed an increase in the 1990 Budget of $5,000 for Clean Up Day, a doubling of past years allocations. At this time it is difficult to say whether or not that amount will be adequate due to expected increases in tipping fees. It is my hope that some of these increased costs can be handled by our reducing the amount of material removed through a more intense effort to check I.D.'s on all individuals wishing to dump at Clean Up Day as well as having scrap metal hauled out separately at no cost to the City. Also, in recognition of the substantially increasing disposal costs the City might wish to evaluate an increase in our fees at the time we discuss setting up the Clean Up Day for the spring of 1990. In the past, Council has briefly discussed the idea of having a Clean Up Day in the fall of this year. Due to the fact that we operated at a deficit amount of $2,000 for the Spring Clean Up Day, any funds for a Fall Clean Up Day would have to come out of the city's Contingency Account. It would be appreciated if you would provide me with some direction as to your desire for a Fall Clean Up Day so that efforts might begin to make arrangements for this event.
