Lglisci (R-14) and DeLuca (R-14) 11/06/96 - Held in Cmmittee 12/02/96 - Held in Cmmittee REPORT MADE Rep. Owens reprted that the Cmmittee affrded the public an pprtunity t ask questins cncerning the administratin's plicy regarding refuse pickup fr cndminiums, and the matter was extensively discussed. A written reprt is prvided t all representatives, which includes Directr Brm's written material submitted t the Cmmittee. Rep. DeLuca cmmended Rep. Owens n his reprt and stated that he attended the Public Wrks Cmmittee meeting. Rep. DeLuca stated that the cndminium assciatin representatives stated ludly and clearly that they were being "ripped ff' by the City. There is a stipulatin that they be reimbursed n a dllar-fr-dllar basis. The argument was made that this is nt being hnred because sme cndminiums receive five-day a week pickup, but the City is nly reimbursing them fr twice a week pickup. Rep. DeLuca stated that Directr Brm's reprt indicates the tax rate is.91, r less than ne mil per year fr garbage pickup; this, taking int accunt that the average cndminium is assessed at $77,000, this equals abut $70 per year fr taxes. The cndminium wners als have t pay abut $50 per year fr tipping fees, fr a ttal cst f$120. Yet, the City has the audacity t reimburse them fr $80 fr the year, which is a "rip ff' t the cndminium wners f $40 per year. Rep. DeLuca stated that the larger cndminium cmplexes can negtiate a better cntract with private haulers, and therefre, they end up making mney; hwever, the smaller cmplexes, i.e., twelve units r under, suffer the cnsequences. Rep. DeLuca further stated that at the Cmmittee meeting, the cndminium wners were advised that they culd cancel their private hauling cntract and have the City pick /12 f 43

13 up the garbage, but stated this was als ridiculus because the City tld these individuals t g ut and negtiate these cntracts several years ag. Thus, sme f these individuals have three- and fur-year cntracts. Rep.
