OF COLTON LANDSCAPING & LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DIS- TRICT NO. 1 CONFIRMING THE ASSESSMENT AND DIA- GRAM AND ORDERING LEVY AND COLLECTION OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1988-89. CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Recycling Project City Manager Benest reported from his memorandum regarding a proposed Recycling Program, and referred to a memorandum from Ray Gonzales, Re- cycling Taskf orce Leader. Mr. Benest outlined the program and two pilot projects, giving the loca- tion of each. Mr. Benest stated the first year cost for the recycling collection center is estimated at $9,200, however, the City would only need approximately $5,200 to initiate the program during the rest of this fiscal year. Mr. Benest said in respect to the pilot curb side program, the annual cost is estimated at $61,000, with an amount of $37,000 needed for the rest of this fiscal year. Mr. Benest continued Staff proposes that the cost of operating both projects be figured into the new sanitation rates, to be set as part of the new sanitation study. Mr. Benest said to initiate the pilot program, Staff recommends that sufficient monies be allocated to the Human Ser- vices Department so the City can gear up an initial program in the re- maining months of this fiscal year. These funds would be borrowed from the equipment replacement fund and then repaid once the new sanitation rates are set. Mr. Benest stated Staff projects the recycling collec- tion center would begin in February, with the curb side collection be- ginning in May, and if the two projects are successful, the City could add a second collection center at the soon-to-be built Albertsons Market in the Cooley Ranch. The City could also expand the curb side project to include all single family dwellings within the City. Mr. Benest concluded Staff recommends the City Council approve the program concept as outlined, and approve Resolution No. R-8-881, author- izing the City to apply to the State for status as a certified recycler. Moved by Councilman Rios, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, to approve Staff's recommendations. Unanimous vote. RESOLUTION NO. R-8-88 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON FOR CERTIFICATION AS A RECYCLER. Mr. Benest stated he would like to thank the Recycling Taskforce Team for their efforts and time with this important project.
