are proposing a fee for repeat offenders. The first time a driver notices it,there will be a warning <br /> issued. The second time the driver notes a repeat offense the fee will be charged. There are other <br /> language changes in the ordinance. <br /> Councilmember Oliver Davis asked, Just to be clear if the driver misses the trash, the resident <br /> will not be charged? <br /> Mr. Kain responded, That is correct. <br /> Committeemember Jo M. Broden asked, How does the average resident know what contaminants <br /> are? <br /> Mr. Kain responded, We are primarily focused on the contamination of the yard waste <br /> contamination and it is pretty easy to know what is and isn't yard waste. <br /> Mike Bronstetter, Director of Solid Waste, 3113 Riverside Drive, stated, Just to clarify, yes, is <br /> can go both ways. If there is contamination of the regular trash,there will be a warning issued for <br /> the first and it will have information about what is and isn't contaminants. <br /> Committeemember Broden followed up, Does this affect in any way our contract with Solid <br /> Waste Management? <br /> Mr. Kain and Mr. Bronstetter both replied,No, it does not. <br /> Committeemember Broden then asked, Could you elaborate on the subsequent dwelling owners <br /> clause? <br /> Mr. Bronstetter replied, What we have seen is a lot of customers take their bin when they move. <br /> If a new homeowner moves in, the fee of ten dollars ($10)will be administered. <br /> Committeemember Broden followed up, And what incidents are going on right now that are not <br /> being charged? <br /> Mr. Bronstetter replied, Right now we are probably at about four(4) return trips a day. <br /> Contamination happens about five (5)times a day. There are approximately sixty-seven(67)to <br /> one hundred (100) claimed stolen bins per month. <br /> Committee Chair Voorde then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in <br /> favor of or in opposition to the legislation. There were none. He then turned the floor back to the <br /> Committee for further comment or main motion. <br /> Committeemember Broden asked, What happens with piles in people's yards that neighbors are <br /> concerned about being a public nuisance? <br /> Mr. Bronstetter replied, In those instances, we would contact Code Enforcement and if they <br /> deem it a nuisance, we would remove it. <br /> 2 <br />
