VIII LEGISLATION 1. Public Hearings A. Mechanized Garbage Collection Mayor Duncan opened the public hearing and asked for comments from the audience. Roger Reidel addressed the Council with numerous questions. He ,~'.. I , , I I I CITY COUNCIL MEETING July 3, 1984 asked how the injury incidence rate was established. Public Works Director Pittis explained that the State has determined that this classification of workers has a higher injury rate on the job than firemen, policemen, etc. Mr. Reidel asked if the temporary personnel laid off due to mechanized collection would be placed on a preferred hiring list. Manager Flodstrom explained that employees with satisfactory work records would go on a preferred hiring list. He also noted that these individuals were hired with the idea that their employment would be temporary should mechanized collection be implemented. Mr. Reidel asked about the number of people that would be trained to operate the two trucks and if cross-training would be available for other employees. He asked about the age of the trucks and about the extent of assistance that would be provided for elderly and handicapped individuals. Staff members answered Mr. Reidel's questions. Mayor Duncan asked for further comments from the audience. There were none. She therefore closed the public hearing. Councilman Quast noted that Ray Keeler had called him briefly before the meeting. Mr. Keeler resides in the demonstration area and stated that he was all in favor of the mechanized collection program if the color of the containers was something other than black. Mayor Duncan reviewed a letter from Mrs. Fredrickson, a Port Angeles resident, who was concerned with safety factors and cost. Mrs. Fredrickson also did not approve of black containers. Councilman Hordyk questioned staff regarding projection of future rate increases. Councilman Gerberding then moved to follow the recommendations of staff that the method of collection for solid waste be revised to mechanized collection contingent upon the following: That the containers would be dark green and not black; that the City continue to provide assistance to the elderly and the handicapped; that a television camera be installed in the hopper to view dumping operations, additional television camera to be installed to improve the safety of backing; and finally, that the City would withhold full operation of the program until such time that a universal arm is available. Councilman Quast seconded the motion, adding, with concurrence from Councilman Gerberding, the condition that the manufacturer extend a full warranty on the universal arm. Councilman Hordyk stated that because of the uncertainty of the financing and the uncertainty of cost to the consumer within the next three years, he would oppose the motion. Councilman Quast stated that both written and oral information had indicated that the financing can be done in-house and that staff has assured the Council that implementation of this program will leave the present $6 monthly fee at the present level for at least two years, which could not be guaranteed if we do not go to the mechanized system. He stated that knowing that Seattle is now paying for one can approximately $12.30 per month, he felt it is imperative at this time to go to the mechanized system. Councilman Gerberding added one more condition to the motion: That an antiseptic spray be on the truck. Councilman Quast concurred and added that three container sizes be available: 60, 90 and 300 gallons, and that reflector strips be added to the 300 gallon containers for visibility. Councilman Schermer asked what kind of impact the larger containers would have at the Landfill. public Works Director Pittis stated that the volume has remained relatively the same, only that with mechanized collection, the City transports the garbage, rather than individuals trans- porting it. He mentioned that containers strictly for recyclables might be placed at various locations within the City. He stated that he anticipated no problem with added volume at the Landfill. On call for the question, the motion carried, with Councilmen Hordyk and Haguewood voting "No". 2.

Liz VanBrocklin, a resident of Eighth Street, spoke in opposition to the Con- ditional Use Permit due to the noise and the trucks traveling up and down in the area.
