1. Senior Citizens Discount Rate. Staff surveyed eight-
een cities to obtain information on senior discount
rates. Only three of the cities contacted provided a
discount for senior citizens. It is staff's opinion
that any provision for a senior citizen discount on
refuse disposal would result in a commensurate rate
increase for non - senior residents or would require an
equal general fund subsidy.
Councilmember Froehle moved that no Senior Citizen
discount rate be established, seconded by Council-
member Manning and unanimously carried.
2. Once -a -week Refuse Collection. Dennis Chiapetta of
Community Disposal indicated they anticipate that they
will be able to accommodate green waste, large items
and regular pick -up on the second pickup day without
an increase in rates.
Councilmember Breazeal moved to continue with twice
per week trash pickup and to include green waste on
the second pickup day, seconded by Councilmember
Froehle and unanimously carried.
3. Exclusive Commercial Franchise Fee. Public Services
Director Hart indicated that staff is in the process
of preparing an exclusive franchise agreement for
commercial refuse collection and disposal. Staff is
requesting direction from Council on what type of
franchise fee the Council would like to require.
Typically, the franchise fee is a percentage of the
gross annual receipts collected by the service pro-
vider. However, in some cases a fixed rate is estab-
lished that is paid to the City on a monthly basis.
This franchise fee is normally a pass through cost,
whereby the contract provider increases the rate
charged to the user commensurate with the franchise
fee.
Councilmember Breazeal moved to adopt a 5% franchise
fee for commercial refuse collection, seconded by
Mayor Pro Tem McGowan and unanimously carried.
B. CITY AUTOMATION PROJECT -
Assistant to the City Manager Kravitz provided back-
ground information regarding the investigation of the
feasibility of a PC network for the City Hall and
Civic Center buildings and a three year plan for
complete automation. Captain Dennis Jacks of the
Monrovia Police Department provided a demonstration of
standardized software. Ms. Kravitz stated that there
were an incredible range of options available to the
City and staff does not have the technical expertise
necessary to make recommendations on a configuration

without unbiased technical assistance. Therefore,
staff is requesting authorization to solicit propos-
als for technical consulting services.
Councilmember Breazeal commended Ms. Kravitz for a
well done report. Councilmember Froehle moved to
authorize staff to solicit proposals- for technical
consulting services and to reappropriate $15,000 of
the designated General Fund monies for automation to
Support Services, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem McGowan
and unanimously carried.
C. COMMUNITY PROMOTION -
City Clerk Love provided background information relat-
ing to the increase in promotional activities and the
need to provide staff with direction regarding the use
of logo for promotional items, newsletter masthead and
paid advertisements for special events.
Council directed staff to proceed with the promotion
of both the official City Seal and the 'new' Camellia
logo with an ultimate phase out of the stylized Camel-
lia. Council authorized the purchase of the employee
gift, green folders, T- shirts and decals utilizing the
'new' logo and authorized staff to "genderize" the
