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. Fuel-supplies 10,000
4. Maintenance 5,500
5. Supervision and administration 15,000
6. Iricinerator/disposal charges (6,000 tons/years) 54,000
Total yearly costs $191,300
