WORKSHOP ITEM - Joe Huss, Finance Director
Title
SANITATION FUND HARDSHIP POLICY
Background
At the November 10 Workshop, Council directed staff to develop a fee schedule that allows those customers with premium service to have six (6) bulky items, as defined in the City’s contract with Walters, picked up annually at no charge. Additionally, premium service customers will also be allowed to rent roll-off dumpsters at discounted rates to dispose of construction debris and carpeting. Premium service customers will also be provided a 15% discount on disposal fees if they haul material themselves to Walters transfer station.
Council also directed staff to develop a policy that allows for discounted fees in the event a resident experiences a hardship that would result in a vacancy in the home or a hardship that would require the renovation or remodeling of a home. Staff has developed such a policy and it is attached for Council’s review.
Recommendation
Review draft policy and provide direction on next step.
