CITY OF COLTON <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Office of the Mayor and Council <br />Date: December 28, 1998 <br />To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers <br />From: Councilmember Donald J. Sanders for Donald J. Sanders <br />Subject: Establish Procedure to Waive Trash Fees Charged to Property Owners with <br />Vacant Properties <br />CITY COUNCIL MEE'T'ING OF JANUARY 5, 1999 <br />Please refer to the attached letter from a Colton property owner inquiring about waiving trash <br />fees during the time her home is vacant (unoccupied). In reviewing the City's existing policy, I <br />found that it does not service the needs of absent property owners that want to maintain the <br />appearance and security of their unoccupied homes. Therefore, I formally request that the City <br />use a common sense approach and look into the feasibility of establishing a procedure to waive <br />trash fees charged to absent property owners desiring to preserve, maintain and secure their <br />unoccupied properties. <br />Accordingly, I ask for the Council's consideration and consensus in directing staff to modify the <br />language of the City's policy, Colton Municipal Code, Chapter 6.16 Garbage and Refuse <br />(attached). City staff shall present a comprehensive report to Council for discussion and possible <br />action. Thank you for your consideration and consensus on this matter. <br />DJS:adf <br />Attachments <br />
