SUBJECT: Proposed Revisions to Sections 13-6A-2 and 13-6A-6 of the Code of
Ordinances
DATE: March 1, 2019
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to submit a proposed ordinance for your review
and approval. This ordinance would revise paragraphs C, D, and E of 13-6A-2 and
paragraphs A, B, C and D of Section 13-6A-6.
DISCUSSION
Title 13 of the Code of Ordinances is entitled "Public Utilities." Chapter 6 of Title 13 is
entitled "Solid Waste." Section 13-6A-2 is entitled "Availability of Collection Service"
and Section 13-6A-6 is entitled "Rates and Charges Established; Exceptions." I
recommend revision of paragraphs C, D, and E of Section 13-6A-2. I also recommend
changes to A, B, C and D of Section 13-6A-6 upon the City Council's approval of the
$15.62 base monthly refuse and recyclables collection service fee. The change also
identifies the fees for the mandatory alley carts of $15.62 for a 48 -gallon cart per month,
$16.62 for a 64 -gallon cart per month, and $24.39 for a 96 -gallon cart per month and
sets the fee of $6.00 per unit, per month, for optional recycling service requested by
residents not serviced by City solid waste collection services.
Attached are the recommended ordinance and Effect of Amendment detailing the
changes proposed for Sections 13-6A-2 and 13-6A-6.

the City Council.
