Ms. Huffman advised the Council the City received a letter from BFI on September 6, and in order to begin a rate increase and collection by October 1, the matter needed to be presented on emergency. Jack Clements of BFI advised the Council the request is based on the month of May CPI. They do not receive the June CPI until the middle of July. When they receive the statistics, they inform the City Manager before bringing the matter forward; and they act as soon as they receive the numbers from their Ft. Worth office. Mr. Cox stated when BFI is unable to meet with Mr. Gilley, they should meet with another staff member so as not to delay the matter. Ms. Hughson noted BFI can use April data to meet their contract deadline in future years. Mr. Moseley stated he wanted to consider the Ordinance on three readings.

Mr. Moseley moved to amend the Ordinance to be considered on three readings and Mr. Mayhew seconded the motion. On roll call the following vote was recorded: AYE: Doiron, Moseley, Hughson, Chiu, Mayhew, Tatum.
