185 <br />REGULAR MEETING JUNE 10, 1.991 <br />APPROVE AMENDMENT TO CHART OF CHARGES - CODE ENFORCEMENT CLEAN-UP <br />CREW CHARGES <br />Mrs. Patricia E. DeClercq, Director, Department of Code <br />Enforcement, advised that the Department is increasingly being <br />faced with situations where the clean-up crew has to dispose of <br />hazardous or unknown substances. Charges for the disposal of the <br />hazardous or unknown substances are being set on a case by case <br />basis once the substance is identified. Mrs. DeClercq noted that <br />the Department has to determine how the the substance should be <br />handled and disposed of and then the property owner is billed <br />accordingly. Mrs. DeClercq also noted that the letter that the <br />Department sends to property owners advising them that their <br />property must be cleaned or the City's clean-up crew will clean <br />it, has been revised to include information that property owners <br />will also be billed for the actual cost for the removal and <br />disposal of any hazardous or unknown substances on the property. <br />It is noted that on September 22, 1987 the Board of Public Works <br />approved a Chart of Charges for cleaning of property by the <br />clean-up crew. For the reasons stated above Mrs. DeClercq <br />requested that the Board approve an Amendment to the Chart of <br />Charges by adding the following: <br />Item 10. Disposal of toxic, hazardous or other unknown <br />substances will be billed to the property <br />owner in the amount of actual charges incurred. <br />Mrs. DeClercq requested that this Amendment become effective from <br />and after its approval by the Board. <br />In response to questions from the news media, Mrs. DeClercq <br />indicated that the clean-up crew has been encountering situations <br />mere there are rubber tires to be disposed of as well as barrels <br />of Unidentified materials which have to be analyzed and properly <br />prepared for removal. <br />Ms. Humphreys made a motion that the Amendment as submitted be <br />approved.
