Motion by Committee Member Meinecke, seconded by Committee Member Jacobs

4. SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE DISCUSSION - Following is a synopsis of the
changes:
A. GENERATOR HAULING OWN WASTE: Committee discussion centered around
how waste would be measured in light of SB66 passage through the
legislature which requires 45% of the Washington County wastestream
to be recycled by 1995. Large amounts of waste leaving the stream
would be difficult to measure without haulers involved. Also
discussed was increased difficulty to enforce the solid waste
ordinance with many unfranchised people hauling.
After lengthy discussion, a motion by Committee Member Meinecke,
and seconded by Committee Member Irwin was to authorize City's
Legal Counsel to change language in Section 11.04.040 D. 1. to
allow persons to transport any waste produced by that person from
the site at which it is produced in a vehicle with a gross vehicle
axle weight rating of no more than 10,000 pounds. Approved by
unanimous vote of Committee present.
B. FRANCHISE AMENDMENT PROCESS: Discussion followed regarding when
the franchisee "may" vs "shall" sign an acceptance of an amendment.
Motion by Committee Member Meinecke, seconded by Committee Member
Irwin to authorize City's Legal Counsel (with review of Haulers'
Legal Counsel) to create language in Section 11.04.080 C. which
would show the following sections "shall" be signed upon an
amendment decision by the City Council:
11.04.020 A. 1, 2, & 9./11.04.020 B. 2./
11.04.040 D. 5./11.04.040 I. and
11.04.080 A. & B.
Approved by unanimous vote of Committee present.

C. ADMINISTRATIVE RULE APPROVAL: Committee discussed the changes that
City's Legal Counsel proposed noting the administrative rules would
be enacted by the City Administrator unless the franchisee
requested the City Council hold a public hearing on the proposed
rule.
Motion by Committee Member Irwin, seconded by Committee Member
Meinecke to approve as written. Approved by unanimous vote of
Committee present.
D. Loreen Edin advised the Committee that the owner of the Joy Theater
had called and noted that he would be requesting a grandfather
clause be added for his business if the trucks were limited in size
for one hauling their own waste. He had purchased a garbage truck
recently to service his theaters.
