C | Consideration and Adoption of Resolution No. 2018-58 and Ordinance No. 2018-45: An ordinance and resolution amending the Flagstaff City Code, Title 7, Health and Sanitation, to update solid waste fees. | ||||||||||
Solid Waste and Fleet Section Director Todd Hansen stated that on November 27, 2018 staff provided information on rate options to create a sustainable solid waste fund. Based on the direction received at that meeting staff has updated the rate fees in the ordinance. Councilmember Odegaard asked if there will be future rate studies for solid waste fees. Public Works Director Andy Bertelsen stated that the model is to look at the rates in three-year intervals to evaluate efficiencies in process as well as keeping the rate model in check. The recession period was a difficult time and it was decided that no rate changes would come forward during that time. Vice Mayor Whelan asked if there has been discussion about contracting out the City’s service. Mr. Hanson explained that it is not something that has been considered previously but it is something that can be evaluated in the future if that is the direction of Council. Based on his experience, what is being done now preserves the City’s system to keep pricing lower for citizens and contracting out would likely increase rates over time. Andy Fernandez addressed Council and stated that recycling to reduce the quantity of material going to the landfill would save 50 years of the landfill life. |
