2 . Minutes accepted.
3 . Coy Humphrey - unauthorized persons removing garbage - wants to know
what City of Tigard should do about problem.
Phil Grillo - interpretation of franchise - exclusive franchise -
persons picking up reoyolabluo and anyone allowing it may be in
violation of ordinance - wants to see what we can do. Questions - are
waste haulers picking up fast enough?
Humphrey - wants to know what will be enforced and notify everyone
involved.
Wiitala - PaoTruot began development 1972 - 1974. Police contacted and
told them that nothing could be trucked after it leaves the building.
Problem - outoide people coming and going through containers and
throwing things they do not want on ground and taking what they want -
i .e. , cardboard,
Leiohner, - picks up about everyday - offered bins for recycling but
someone else has control over cardboard,
McReynolds - stated laws beyond city law - i .e. , state requirement for
recycling - board and law' s position that haulers should recycle
everything - losing revenue from private individual recycling efforts -
can not prevent companies contracting to sell .
Wiitala - businesses throw away good stuff - position has been that
stuff was businesses'- position of management company was that police
position would be hard to sell . Whose stuff is it?
McReynolds - catch 22 situation
Grillo - if pallet outside but not in garbage can, should be property of
business until disposed of in garbage - opinion that if materials in
garbage - one issue, not in garbage - another issue,
Miller, - once it is garbage - nothing to prevent tenant deciding on
trash and mooring materials in and out.
Grillo - once it is trash - use criminal and can not be criminal if
permission granted - what if tenant has agreement with someone else -
both in violation of exclusive franchise.
McReynolds — thre%waouueo:
1 . If materials in garbage area — can be hauled only by haulers.
2. Materials not in area and if picked up without written permission
of tenant — theft.
8 . Reoyolableo — some material automatic reoyclableo i .e. , pallets,
air tanks — should be franchised.
Cardboard — price up.
Private reoyclero — new ordinance to deal with private reoyolero —
charge a fee.
McReynolds — gave above three points to Humphrey as guidance for
enforcement — directed Wiitala to come up with guidelines for garbage
disposal.
Haulers objected to second point — can not give permission because do
not "own" garbage.
Miller — attempting to provide service — have rules to live by —
attempting to avoid issues caused by other people going through garbage.
Grillo — would like to see resolved without enforcement — could support
Gerry' o three points — Coy could enforce.
Gerry — can not resolve who owns reoyolableo, etc, — can not be
addressed right now — responsibility rests with legislators .
Wiitala — get communication going.
Grillo — ordinance is not clear on what is waste — what is intent of
person putting out.
Miller — suggested Wiitala and Mike and tenants get together and educate
tenants — Mike and Wiitala agreed.
Gerry — thanked for input.
