CITY OF COLTON_. AGENDA REPORT tCONTINUED) FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF February 20, 1990 SUBJECT: Approval of Jacks Disposal Service for Disposal Transfer Site on Agua Mansa 4. All loads would be dispensed into the contained 40 cubic yard bins by the resident and compressed back by the weekend workers for the next load. 5. The service would be available to local residents only. All residents will be required to show a utility service bill and pay a cost of $5 per load. This cost is sub- stantially less than the current landfill cost which is $10 per load. 6. Fees collected would be by money order or cashier's check only made out to the City of Colton, thus reducing any liability due to handling cash or processing checks. 7. All fees collected would be held in a locked cash box by the supervising City employee and turned into Finance the next regular working day for processing. Staff has reviewed both the pros and cons of such a proposal and concludes that the residents of Colton would receive a benefit from such a program. Also, this program could possibly be expanded in the future to include recyclable materials. The cost would be minimal to operate with no bin rental fees, dump charges and utilization of weekend workers while providing a valuable service to the community and possibly reducing the amount of illegal dumping which would in turn help beautify the community. Staff would recommend that the following conditions be set for approval of the disposal site: 1. A trial program be implemented up to 6 months. 2. The program be re-evaluated at the end of the trial period for cost benefit ratio, and if the program is beneficial and financially sound it should be expanded. 3. Introduce the trial program to the residents through the media and utility billings. •�• -ID70-971NO • Staff recommends that Council approve Jacks Disposal Service for a disposal transfer site on Agua Mansa on a trial basis, up to 6 months, and adopt the attached Resolution establishing a charge of $5.00 per load for the disposal site, per the above conditions.
