Item No. 25 Memorandum TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council FROM: Robert Vine, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE 12.04, "SOLID WASTE," OF CHAPTER 12, "UTILITIES." DATE: October 14, 2024 BACKGROUND: For many years, Council has been granting permits to individuals who are in the business of solid waste collection via individual Ordinance. Currently, there are twelve individuals/businesses who operate roll -off carts inside the City limits. The roll -off carts are used temporarily during construction of new structures and remodeling of structures. On March 11, 2024, City Council repealed Article 12.04 "Solid Waste," of Chapter 12, Utilities of the Code of Ordinances and replaced same with a new Article 12.04, "Solid Waste," and approved Ordinance No. 2024-011. That Ordinance contracted collection of solid waste for residential customers that began on February 5, 2024 and commercial solid waste collection by a third -party which began on September 1, 2024 inside the City limits. STATUS OF ISSUE: City Staff did not account for the fact that roll off customers and local taxing entities were not affected by the switchover, so it is necessary to readopt Division 2 with amendments. Staff proposes that the requirements in Division 2 be readopted for roll -off receptacle vendors with an amendment that would provide for administrative issuance of permits rather than the passage of individual ordinances for each vendor. BUDGET: N/A RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Ordinance amending Article 12.04, "Solid Waste," of Chapter 12, "Utilities."
