Motion

ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Second Reading of Ordinance No. 376.  An ordinance of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, amending Chapter 50 of the code of the City of San Luis, Arizona regarding solid waste collection and removal services; repealing any conflicting provisions; and providing for severability. (Jorge Perez, Billing & Collections Manager)  

A. Approval of Second Reading of Ordinance No. 376 by title only
    (City Clerk to read Ordinance by title only)
B. Action on Second Reading of Ordinance No. 376

SUMMARY:

Background
 
The City of San Luis provides solid waste collection and disposal service for a number of residential and some commercial (95-Gallons container only) accounts. Years ago, the city approved the purchase of 90-gallon containers and new automatic pickup systems to be installed to our solid waste trucks to improve the collection process.  Although the purchase was approved, the formal solid waste collection procedure was not amended in the City Code. The city has adopted resolutions to impose new solid waste collection rates, but processes and procedures have remained the same in the City Code.
 
The proposed ordinance does several things:
  1. It brings our City Code up to date regarding standard operation procedures (SOPs) pertaining to solid waste collection and disposal. 
  2. It provides clear guidelines for preparation of solid waste for collections. 
  3. It provides details about rate schedule, discontinuance of services, collection hours, and other methods of solid waste removal.
This ordinance does not propose new fees or changes for fees or services. As a result, it does not need to go through the rate hearing process.

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

I MOVE TO APPROVE SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 376 BY TITLE ONLY
(CITY CLERK TO READ ORDINANCE BY TITLE ONLY)
I MOVE TO APPROVE AND ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 376
