The primary question is whether or not to <br />privatize the collection of residential sanitation. Discussions about privatization should include: <br />l. The operational cost difference of changing to the Blossom Prairie landfill, including vehicle O <br />& M and labor (a moot question if privatization is approved) <br />2. Any difference in quality of service to sanitation customers if privatization is approved <br />3. The impact on other Public Works Divisions if labor from the Sanitation Division is lost to <br />privatization (Sanitation employees backup other Public Works divisions form time to time) <br />4. Whether or not to continue providing certain services the Sanitation Department provides and <br />how to pay for them if they are to continue <br />5. Whether to continue to provide free bulk item drop off at a customer convenience center <br />The accompanying PowerPoint presentation lists additional concerns. <br />Staff will present responses to questions and provide additional analysis at Monday's meeting. <br />BOARD/ COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />12/07/'0 McFadden Memo; PowerPoint presentation; Traffic Division operations descriptions <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report ❑ Minute Order <br />Expense <br />$ <br />❑ Department Report ❑ Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />$ <br />E Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />yTD Actual <br />$ <br />❑ Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
