CONTRACT The City Manager reported on October 1, 1990, there 4 11 be a new phase of
operation for Waste Management. The tipping fees will be billed through
the tax collector and appraised through the property appraiser. Mr. Or,�
feels there needs to be a standard fee schedule, since the City is the
mediator between the contractor and the businesses, and also collects a 2%
franchise fee. The existing contracts would extend until expiration,
however, new businesses would be required to use Waste Management. Vice
Mayor Aldred felt they should allow the businesses to continue to contract
with whom they want. Mr. Orr saw no problem with that, but the City would

not be responsible for mediation between the businesses and the contractor
for the chargQs. Attorney Brant was directed by the City Council to draw

first reading at the Regular Meeting of March 1, 1990.
Rich Walton, Director of Planninq b Zoning, addressed the City Council
regarding the Scope of Services as submitted by Pravin Shah in preparation
of the Land Development Regulations. Mr. Walton stated they are adding
back in the landscape program. Councilman Kiselewski stated he did not
understand from the outline when comments from the Council were to be
injected into the process. After discussion, the Council decided there
should be a Citizens Advisory Committee formed to work through the
Administration with their input and the CAC should meet with Staff before
each workshop in Phase 1, II and III. The City Manager stated he needed a
consensus from the City Council to execute the contract and the account,
with money to be taken from Council Contingency. The Council felt we
should deal mainly with Mr. Shah instead of bring in the whole team and
try to get a reduction in Mr. Shah's fees. The execution of the contract
will be considered for approval at the Regular Meeting of Mach 1, 1993.
Mayor Martino directed Rich Walton to submit a list of names for the CAC
