Discussion was held on the awarding of the contract for
rubbish collection. The City Engineer submitted two
recommendations for Council's consideration.
Alternate A figured on 4100 light meters at 45¢ per
month, plus 3000 stops for garbage collection at
$1,000 per month, expense of billing and collection
at $35o per month, or for an estimated average monthly
cost of 3200.00. To be self-supporting he recommended
that the rubbish collection rate be raised to 75¢ per
month, and that the contract be let to Avedesian at
45¢ per meter. This would be for a bi-weekly trash
pickup.
Alternate B would provide trash collection by City
forces with a recommended rate of $1.00 per month.
Monthly operating costs estimated at $2450, garbage
pickup $1 000, billing and collections $350, or a
total of 3800 or 90¢ per month.
The City Attorney read a letter received by him from
the County Sanitation District which outlined various
amendments to the sanitation laws which would be sub-
mitted to the Legislature at this coming session.
Moved by Councilman Johnson, seconded by Councilman
Romero, that the City Council accept the plan set
forth as Alternate A, except the service charge, for
a one year period, and that the contract be awarded
to the lowest responsible bidder on the terms as set
forth in Schedule C of the Agreement, and that the
City Clerk be authorized to return checks or Bid
Bonds to the unsuccessful bidders.
