J. LEGISLATION FOR ACTION
• Resolution 10-85: Authorization to Expend Funds in Excess of Available Appropriations
a regular house keeping requirement, better to be a little under than over
motion to approve -
passed 8-0
• Resolution 10-86: Authorization to Borrow for the Purchase of Trash Totters
motion to approve - passed
Discussion
Jeff in order to implement the new system, need to front the cost for the bins/totters
once paid off, the fee could be used to replenish them as needed and still drop over time
Vallee speaking against the purchase now, the timing is wrong
Nutting - We were told to fix this, we spent more than three years on this, we worked with the Recycling Committee, did a ton of research,
Whalen - I am in favor of this
Garella - the negative vote was due to the single bin option, not due to any other numbers. If you don't go with this program, the cost will increase over time.
McGann - clarification question on bidder delivery of new truck
Nutting - either bidder would have to meet the requirements of the RFP
Nutting - we went out with an increase in recycling, we have been to the Council previously on a pay-as-you-throw process and you didn't like that, we have now come with the single stream process
Pfeffer - my concern is with the seniors being able to handle the units
McGann - proceeding to ask Jeff
Mason - discussion is bordering on the item that would come up for discussion next week. This is for the totters, next week is the fee schedule
Nutting - we would need totters for this system
McGann - question on who pays for some items
Nutting - residents already pay for some items, some of which it will increase, the $25 fee may not be the contract, we haven't finished negotiation yet
McGann - how is there such a difference amongst the bidders
Nutting - I can speak to that, they have to meet the requirements of the RFP
Roll call (requires 2/3 majority)
Jones - can we combine this and do this next week
Vallee - I am against this for the reasons I mentioned before
Passed 6-2 McGann, Vallee - both voted no
