Mr. Mihalkanin moved for adoption of the Resolution and Mr. Mayhew seconded the motion. Ms. Narvaiz inquired whether this Resolution would set a precedent. Mr. O'Leary stated he does not feel the adoption of this Resolution would tie the City to the future. He stated Dr. Perez may request all fees under $200 to automatically be waived. Staff is working on bringing proposed substantial fees to the Council. Mr. Taylor stated he feels this is a great idea and wants to look at more in the future. The Council then voted unanimously for adoption of the Resolution. Mayor Habingreither introduced a discussion regarding Recycling Drop-Off Center Request for Proposal. Mr. 0'Leary reviewed some of the changes to the Request for Proposal. He explained some of the changes are regarding the Contractor's age of equipment, noise level for the collection vehicles during the stationary compacting process, and performance bonds. Ms. Narvaiz stated the downtown area requested cardboard pickup. Mr. Mihalkanin agreed the cardboard pickup is an important issue. Mr. O'Leary stated the RFP could include providing cardboard pickup service for downtown businesses and for the details to be worked out with the customers. Tom Wassenich stated Green Guy did provide cardboard services, but it required a large packing truck. Mr. Mihalkanin inquired why Green Guy stopped providing this service. Kyle Hahn, owner of Green Guy, stated he contracted with a vendor due to high insurance costs, decreasing cost of cardboard and additional time and fees for cleaning up contamination on the cardboard. Mr. Mihalkanin asked Staff to see whether adding the cardboard service to the contract would be feasible. Mr. Hahn stated he processes cardboard now for haulers, and the drop-off center could subcontract with haulers to provide this service. Mr. Mihalkanin stated he feels the wording on page 8 c. Proposal Bond is too vague. He inquired whether this is a five-year bond or five annual bonds. Mr. Mark Taylor
