CITIZEN FORUM No individuals were in attendance to address the Commission. SOLID WASTE PROGRAMS AND DATA Multifamily Service . Timberlane Apartments. Due to on-going problems with fly dumping Timberlane Apartments installed a video camera to monitor the refuse enclosure area. The surveillance tape was given to the police department for follow-up. The police department issued a ticket for "theft of service" to an individual residing across the alley from Timberlane. In addition, the Solid Waste Coordinator sent a letter to all the residents in the townhomes as a reminder that the refuse container is for Timberlane tenants only. . Single Family Service The cost of the Village's refuse/yard material sticker for the single family user fee system was discussed under New Business. NEW BUSINESS At the September 16, 2004 Commission meeting, Chairman Lueteri recommended there be further discussion of the Village' refuse/yard material sticker fee. An analysis of the sticker fee was calculated by Chairman Luteri and distributed to the members in November 2004. However, this is the first opportunity the Commission has had to discuss the sticker fee. . Chairman Luteri provided an overview of the costs associated with the refuse/yard material sticker as well as the projected costs for 2006 and 2007. Noting the current $1.75 fee no longer covers the actual "service" costs, Chairman Luteri suggested the sticker fee be raised to $2.50. The $2.50 sticker fee is the average "blended" rate for the collection and disposal of refuse and the collection and disposal of yard material. (The Village utilizes a blended rate for program efficiency and resident convenience.) Based on the information provided by the Chairman the Commissioners had very few questions, and expressed their support for raising the sticker fee. In response, the following recommendation to the Mayor and Village Board of Trustees was moved, seconded and unanimously approved. The Solid Waste Commission recommends the Village Board raise the Village's refuse/yard material sticker fee to $2.50 per sticker. The increase would be effective July 1, 2005 and remain at that rate through 2005, and 2006, if the current contract is extended for an additional year. OTHER BUSINESS The Coordinator reminded the Commissioners of the May 14th, Public Works Open House. The Coordinator will contact the Commission members closer to that date about working at the event. NEXT MEETING The next meeting was scheduled for Thursday, May 19, 2005 in the Public Works Facility, 1700 West Central Road at 7:30 p.m. ADJOURNMENT As there was no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, M.
