Councilpersons Henning, Morris, Richards and Wells answered the roll call. Councilperson Byork absent due to illness. Also present were City Manager Gomez and City Attorney Yeager. SCHEDULED MATTERS City Manager Gomez stated that Western Waste is asking for an increase in waste collection fees. William Goodike of Western Waste presented Council with a brief history as to the reason for an increase and the reQuest for an Evergreen Contract. Western Waste has not had an increase since January 1985. He states that 18 months ago they were paying $3.75 per ton to dump trash. It is now $10.00 average per ton . Councilperson Richards states he is inclined to go with a longer term contract to have lower rates. Councilperson Richards moved it back to staff with possibility of longer term agreement with the city to have low rates. Councilperson Morris seconded. City Attorney Yeager stated he thinks Council is about to give us direction and asked for discussion about this. Further states before taking action 6.7o increase, we can negotiate an increase. It would be useful to have a firm decision -- (the Evergreen decision) where the hauler gets a five year notice of cancellation, but is negotiated every year. The good reason for Evergreen is that it permits Western Waste to invest in expensive items such as new trucks. The dis- advantage being that you are locked in for a long time. Councilperson Henning states that Western Waste has a lot of money invested in the city including Miss Lynwood Scholarship, Block Watches and cleanup. Councilperson Morris states on this item, what would be wrong with having a staff give us information on the Evergreen contract as opposed with a long term agreement. City Attorney Yeager stated in order to do this right, staff must collect more data and what the real rate is now, to generate data for January meeting. After Council discussion, by general consent of Council, Mayor Wells asked that staff have a report for January meeting for further study. It was moved by Councilperson Richards, seconded by Council- person Morris to direct staff to negotiate revision to the contract in an effort to stabilize rates over a longer haul, `~ so to speak, and to report with specific recommendations, and approve the minimal increase of 6.7%. It was moved by Councilperson Richards,•seconded by Council- person Morris to approve the foregoing motion.
