3 <br /> Mr. Leszczynski noted that the City is getting second and <br /> third opinions from contractors in an attempt to regulate <br /> overall costs. <br /> Council Member Slavinskas questioned whether the fifty-cent <br /> per month charge is adequate. It was explained that the City <br /> currently has a $500.00 deductible and requires a $100. 00 <br /> deposit up front with the remainder being billed on a <br /> regular basis. The City currently has $60, 000.00 outstanding <br /> in delinquent loans. <br /> Council Member Coleman questioned how the overall program <br /> worked, and was advised that Maurice Williams coordinates <br /> the program and it was determined how blockages or breakages <br /> are assessed. <br /> Council Member Slavinskas questioned whether the charging <br /> process could be changed so that the City is not left with <br /> delinquent loans. Such a change would incorporate the City <br /> changing it's billing system so that only the $500. 00 would <br /> be billed to the City, with the remainder being billed <br /> directly to the customer. Council Member Slavinskas also <br /> questioned whether the City could make in-roads in the <br /> anticipated expensed of excavation of approximately <br /> $250, 00. 00. Bob Kruszynski noted that it would be difficult <br /> with one crew, since often there are multiple problems <br /> happening at one time. Mr. Dillon noted that most homeowners <br /> don't realize that sewer lines should be cleaned every two <br /> to three years. <br /> The Committee then reviewed the Solid Waste 1991 Budget <br /> beginning at page 1. Revenue is projected at $1,8700, 379.00 <br /> with expenses projected at $2,355,124.00 resulting in a <br /> deficit of $547,745.00. <br /> Mr. Dillon noted however, that several items had arisen <br /> since the Budget was prepared. He then passed out a handout <br /> revising the figures set forth in the Budget book. The first <br /> document is a letter dated November 12, 1990 from Prairie <br /> View Landfill explaining that effective January 1, 1991 <br /> there will be a seventy-five cent per yard increase at <br /> Prairie View and a fifty cent per ton increase on all solid <br /> waste. He also noted that there may be a County tax imposed <br /> if a District is formed. <br /> It was noted that the City has determined to cut back on <br /> capital expenditures. Currently, the customer list for the <br /> City is 25,185 households. Revenue on the second page of the <br /> handout showing revenue projected at $1,925,700.00 and <br /> expenses at projected at $2, 131, 648. 00 representing a loss <br /> of $205,948. 00 is projected on 26, 000 customers. It was <br /> noted that currently the City is $4.00 per month cheaper <br /> than Superior Waste for residential pickup. It was noted <br /> that the City does not anticipate a rate increase in 1991. <br />
