SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, September 22, 1994
ITEM: 9C. Consider an ordinance amending the garbage rates. (Second
Reading)
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The purpose of this proposed fee increase is to provide an option for the
alternative refuse collection of recyclable materials. Last spring the Council appointed
a subcommittee to explore options for recycling in Round Rock. The group comprised
of Councilmen Palmer and Joseph and several members of the Environmental Advisory
Board. Several curbside programs as well as a centralized program were explored.
The cost for the various options ranged from $ 5 to as low as $ .25 per month per
customer. The group determined that expanding the hours and services of the
Recycling Center would provide the best service at the most effective cost. The cost
to provide this service approximately $32,000 per year, A $ .25 charge to each
customer on a monthly basis would provide the necessary revenue.
