A quorum (3 or more) present, the following action was taken by
the Committee:
Yvonne Morrissey spoke on how the garbage problem was handled
when she lived in Germany. Families were only allowed up to 5
gallons of trash per week and were encouraged to recycle everything
possible. Recycling bins were provided (see attached letter).
Terry Fink came to protest the bill for one trailer on
Cedar Avenue. Dave Michael will look into it and make the
necessary adjustment.
Grant Lawver and Ben Deines protested the adjustment made
to First Baptist School and indicated that there are other people
using the can. Dave will look into the problem and make the
necessary adjustment.
Jim Flotkoetter from Western Drug inquired as to how the
adjustment was made and Marvin Carter explained how the
committee went through the process of determining the adjustment
amount for each customer affected. He also had some ideas such
as not picking up every day. He also questioned why the City
bought land for the container site and didn't purchase it through
the county tax sale.
Thayne Rapp questioned the adjustment to 1209 E. 6th trailer
court and apartments. The committee explained to him that we
counted the number of units and charged accordingly.
Dean Rankin from Coast to Coast asked about the apartments
above the store, and it was explained to him that he had only
been charged for 5 apts. and there are 15 apartments and that
an adjustment should have been made before.
Received a letter from the School District (see attached)
concerning their rate increase.

Dear Garbage Committee:
Wayne Severtson
Superintendent
I will be unable to attend the garbage committee meeting on January
11, 1993 at 5:00 p.m. due to our board meeting that night but would
like to have an explanation as to the reason for the increase in
garbage rates which are now in effect. After reviewing the rate
increases, it looks as if our annual garbage costs have increased
from $2,862.00 to $6,318.00. Please advise me if I am incorrect.
This amount of an increase,., especially in the middle of the fiscal
year, seems somewhat excessive.
In the notice I received, the reason listed for the increased rates
was increased volume we are currently disposing of. The Board of
Trustees will like to know what additional services you are
providing now to justify the cost increase. As I understand it
most schools have daily pickup for garbage collection except during
the summer months. Will our rates change during the summer months
because of less usage or are the rates prorated for the entire
year?
The Laurel School District appreciates the fine service the city
provides us during the year. This letter is not to complain about
the service but I feel I need to go to the Board with an
explanation of the rate increase. The Laurel School District is
trying to keep expenditures to a minimum increase due to limited
funds we have now and because the outlook for the future seems to
be very uncertain.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Roger Heimbigner
Business Manager
