After Council discussion regarding the pros/cons of the draft <br />ordinance: <br />Haas made motion, Petryk seconded, directing staff to work with Council members Mike Granger and <br />Frank Puleo to draft revisions to the ordinance for Council review. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />REQUEST TO INCREASE NUMBER OF WASTE HAULER LICENSES FROM 7 TO 8 <br />In accordance with current City code, the City has issued seven waste hauler licenses for haulers to <br />operate businesses in the City. BFI, a nationally recognized waste hauler, submitted a letter of request to <br />acquire an additional waste hauler license to do business in the Victor Gardens subdivision. The <br />developer informed staff that they will be allowing only one hauler to reduce the amount of refuse hauler <br />truck traffic, which would allow for a smoother and quieter level of service in the neighborhood. After <br />Council discussion: <br />Haas made motion, Puleo seconded, to deny the request of BFI to increase the number of waste hauler <br />licenses in the City based on safety concerns and additional traffic on City streets. <br />All aye.
