MINUTES OF MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 19, 1990
The meeting was called to order at 7:05 P.M. by Chairman
Patterson. Also present was Committee Member D. Sanders,
Mitchell Robbins (The Peltz Corporation) and Lisa Albert
(Parents/Teachers Organization).
The Committee reviewed correspondence from City Clerk stating
that the third quarter franchise payment fromm Warner Cable,
which was due October 31, 1990, has not been received to date.
The Committee has requested that a letter be sent to Mr. McMillan
advising him of the late franchise payment.
The Committee discussed the status of landfills and requested
that a letter be sent to Mr. George Meinholz, Waste Management,
expressing concerns of citizens who are complaining that the
compacting units for solid waste is too high. The letter should
question whether solid waste must go into compactor or can
citizens use open containers on site. The Committee would also
like Mr. Meinholz to clarify if there are recycling receptacles
on site.
Mr. Mitchell Robbins appeared before the Committee to discuss the
• possibility of the City entering into negotiations leading to a
ten (10) year supply agreement with The Peltz Corporation to
process ONP and magazines as generated in the City's recycling
program. The wastepaper will be processed and shipped to Laidlaw
Resources as per The Peltz Corporation/Laidlaw Wastepaper Supply
Agreement. The City would be allowed an additional 25% in
magazines and phone books. The City would make approximately
$2.00 a ton instead of being charged $14.00 to $15.00 a ton as
presently being charged. Mayor Salentine mailed a letter on
November 16, 1990, requesting more information on the above
proposed agreement. The Committee will discuss further when the
information has been received.
Ald. Patterson advised the Committee that he and Mayor Salentine
had met with George Meinholz from Waste Management and Curt
Christie from Best Disposal Systems and both are receptive to
continuing recycling pickup program until April. Ald. Patterson
moved to include Recycling flyer, prepared by Ald. D. Sanders, in
the tax bill mailing. Seconded by Ald. D. Sanders, motion
carried.
It is requested that a letter be sent to each monthly volunteer
group advising that they must provide at least 10 adults with at
least 4 adults arriving at 7:00 A.M. to receive instructions from
haulers and watch for early recyclers.
