CONTINUED ITEM - Request of Western Disposal Company for an
increase in residential and commercial trash hauling fees
resulting from increased costs at landfills they are forced
to use since the closure of the Azusa Landfill; further
requesting an extension beyond current contract expiration
to defray costs that will arise from equipment changes.
Councilman Dangleis advised that his only concern regarding
the increase was that he did not want the additional $2.00
for the City's trash, such as tree trimmings, street
I
sweeping debris, etc., to be tacked onto the residents'
bills; he objected to that and would like to see it deleted.
Mr. Ronald Legault addressed this issue and stated that
tree trimmings, etc., could be dumped at Fibre Fuel at no
cost to the City. He also wanted to know what equipment
changes Western is contemplating and if this equipment will
benefit other cities he services; and what was the last
increase used for.

Councilman Stemrich addressed extending an agreement with
the Sanitation District for use of their Azusa Water
Reclamation site adjacent to Zacatecas Park. He stated
that if we are going to approve the agreement that there are
open wells on the property that should be filled so as not
to cause injury to any individuals.

and advised that there are a lot of deficiencies on the
property; that at one time the City wanted to purchase the
property, but the Sanitation District was not amenable to
it. The Parks and Recreation Commission elected not to
renew the lease, however, since then found out that Public
Works is using this area to store materials, such as weed
clippings, etc.

Public Works Superintendent Pedroza addressed this and Comments
advised that fill dirt and equipment is stored at the site; Pedroza
that they use the site for training new employees on heavy
duty equipment. He advised that the facility housing the
wells have been boarded up on numerous occasions, but
somehow always get vandalized.
It was then moved by Councilman Dangleis, seconded by
Councilman Naranjo and unanimously carried by roll call to
approve extension of the agreement for a one year period,
provide a certificate of insurance naming the District as
additional insured; further that agreement be amended to
reflect actual use of the property, rather than for
recreation purposes as now states.
Mr. Hartunian entered the meeting at this time, and the
Mayor asked if he would like to discuss his requested trash
hauling increase.
Mr. Hartunian responded to questions posed by the Council
relating to commercial increase percentage of up to 20%;
that the only City he contracted with was the City of Azusa,
however he does service some unincorporated areas of the
County; that the last rate increase of a year ago was due to
other factors rather than the problems he is facing today.
,That, at present, at the other dumps, his trucks stand in
line for hours and are sometimes turned away. He further
advised that equipment is needed because he will need two
new drivers; when a full truck leaves and comes back empty,
he would be able to take a full truck back to the dump; when
the dump does not allow any more dumping, then the trucks
come back full, however, it is better to have trash in the
trucks rather than on the streets. In order to protect his
investment, with the purchase of three new trucks, he would
like the contract extended.
Mr. Hartunian was then apprised of Council action relating
to his increase and was asked how long he could wait for the
Council to act on other requests. He responded that he has
already purchased one truck and needed two more by the end
of the year and that he did not like playing "catch-up."
Mr. Ronald Legault asked if the costs for proposed equipment
was addressed in the original contract, and was advised that
