Duncanson - Mayor '`"Wanda Mullikin - City Clerk "Cr: it,,, Commission -L- January 26, 1976 CITY OF DANIA INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM # 161 TO: City Commission FROM: City Manager Kooser SUBJECT: Sanitation Contract DATE: January 26 , 1976 After a review of the current sanitation agreement which purports to establish the operational and financial relationship between the City of Dania and Nest Shore Sanitation, I recommend that the City establish new criteria for garbage pickup and disposal and then negotiate a new agreement with (Jest Shore and adopt a new garbage ordinance incorporating the revised criteria. I recommend that the following criteria for garbage and disposal be considered and adopted by the City: Pickups-Residential 1. Pickup of up to two 20 gal. cans twice per week at single family duplex, & triplex residences, additional cans would be billed by the City as the City is notified by the franchisee. 2 . Containerized pickups at residential dwellings of four or more units, motels and hotels and trailer parks. Pickups-Commercial 1. Businesses requiring the pickup of'more than two 20 gal. containers a pickup must have containerized service. Businesses would be required to have service sufficient to prevent the establishment of sanitary nuisance. Service Charges-Residential 1. A flat service charge would be established permit for single family, duplex, and triplex residences, and for trailer court units . 2 . A scale of service charges would be established for residential complexs of 4 or more units, motels and hotels, for their containerized service. Service Charges-Commercial A scale for commercial pickup by can or container will be established to provide a minimum fee for all pickups. r Memorandum P161 -2- January 26, 1976 Fees paid to Franchisee Fees paid to the franchiseefrom the City will be based on a negotiated schedule for all types of pickups . Franchise Franchise limits may be increased by negotiation to include future commercial accounts . I believe this approach will lead to improved service and more efficient administration of the agreement. I recommend that a committee of the City Manager and two Commissioners be now established to negotiate this agreement and develop a new ordinance utilizing these criteria. Other Alternatives In reading this recommendation the following alternatives were also considered : 1. No modification-The major failing in the current agreement-concept is the provision of "no-fee" collection for a certain minimum service with fees levied for service above the minimum. This would require for accurate billing a count of cans at each stop on every garbage collection run. This is, of course, administratively unfeasible. Exhibit #1 shows charges and receipts for collections in excess of the current maximum "free" service. As it indicates for the period from May 1, 1975 , through December 8 , 1975 , the City billed only $2 ,791 in garbage fees or approximately $400 per month and received, from July to December , 1975, only $2 ,221 or approximately $354 . per month. 2. A reestablishment of a City operated collection/ disposal service. The costs estimated to reestablish a City operated garbage collection and disposal service are as follows: Item Cost/Year 1. Capital Costs (Based on 3 packer trucks 20 cubic yards capacity, at $35 ,000 each, 5-year amoritization) $21,000 2. Labor ( 3 drivers, 6 loaders, inc. fringe benefits) 85,800 3.
