Solid Waste Utility Manager Paul Clemens summarized the Report to Council (staff
report)dated July 8,2013,incorporated herein by reference. Mr.Clemens highlighted the
benefits and challenges to potential implementation of a bi-weekly recycling and green
waste collection schedule. He also provided background information relative to the
interest in changing the collection process of residential green waste and curbside
recycling in order to reduce the number of trips Solid Waste Collection Vehicles(SWCV)
make down each street, thereby reducing wear and impact to residential streets. He
recommended that the City Council provide additional direction, as necessary, to staff
regarding bi-weekly curbside recycling and green waste collection.
Council Member Cadd noted that each SWCV is equal to 4,000 vehicles on City streets,
and stressed the importance of discussing bi-weekly recycling and green waste collection
due to the limited funds available for street repairs.

rate increases as long as those funds were designated for street improvements.
