Mayor Morris opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak. Bill McDonald requested the city Council consider changing the proposed rate of 5 cents per gallon to 3 cents per gallon. He requested the Council consider amending the requirement of charging for a full load when dumping to the actual amount on the truck. He also requested a definition of the service boundaries. Bill Haney stated this was a good Ordinance, and that it had been simplified somewhat. He stated there still needs to be resolution to the issue of sampling, self monitoring and testing. He stated if something is found in a plant test that they have indicated they have in their possession, would they then be caused to test for this in their waste stream. Mr. Haney indicated he would prefer the city to examine the affluent to determine what its consistency is, and would prefer the city be required to sample and test to alleviate small businesses from having to do so. No one else wished to speak so Mayor Morris closed the public hearing. Mr. Guerra moved for approval of the Ordinance on first reading and Mr. Moore seconded the motion. Mr. Moore asked Mr. Boeker about permitting the users. Mr. Boeker stated each user will register and pay a registration fee and will provide a manifest for each load brought in. If the user is not registered when a load is brought in, the registration fee will be charged, and then the load will be charged at a rate of 5 cents per gallon, which has been determined to be the actual cost of treatment per gallon. The loads will be sampled randomly. Mr. Boeker provided the Council with comments received from five users regarding the proposed Ordinance. The Council voted unanimously for approval of the Ordinance on first reading.
