2007 -146 and 2007 -147 (contracts for debris cleanup and monitoring) — City Administrator
Steve Rasmussen reported that bids have now been opened and gave a status report on
the various options available to the city depending upon how much of the debris has already
been disposed of throughout the city. He explained that if enough of the debris has already
been disposed of, a contract may not even been needed, and that the city may qualify for
"pilot program" reimbursement of up to $500,000 instead. He stated has prepared a draft
press release announcing the city's intention of the curbside pickup program it will choose,
but that he would ask the City Council for a motion and vote on Monday night to officially
authorize the press release since doing so would commit the City to curbside pickup in
some manner.
