During my review, I discovered the signs over at the Willie Street lot indicate that vehicles would be towed, but we apparently do not have the authority under village ordinance to tow cars in violation of a leased parking space.

(Ord. 5169, 2-6-2001) December 2004 Village of Mount Prospect INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, lIIinois DATE: JULY 1, 2005 SUBJECT: RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE CONTRACT TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS FROM: SOLID WASTE COORDINATOR BackQround The Village's current residential solid waste contract with ARC Disposal and Recycling Company (Republic Services) will expire December 31, 2005. Solid waste services to both single and multifamily properties have been provided by ARC Disposal and Recycling Company under the terms and conditions of the contract since its inception in May 1, 2000. Governed by the Village's approach to effective and efficient management of the residential waste stream the contract provides for a modified volume-based collection system. Although this system has proven very effective, industry standards, economic constraints and customer satisfaction suggest that additional options, which may enhance the 2006 municipal solid waste contract be explored during the evaluation process. . Basic Service Program - modified volume-based . Automated collection system - Wheeled Carts . Yard Material/Leaf Collection Program . Commercial Solid Waste Services Franchise Discussion Cost benefit analysis and resident satisfaction studies have significantly influenced local government's approach to solid waste management. While competitive bidding for solid waste services was the standard approach ten years ago, many local governments are realizing the economic benefit of negotiating for services and extended contracts with the existing hauler if resident satisfaction is at an acceptable level. Recent Information provided by the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) indicates member communities often choose to negotiate with the existing hauler rather than utilize the bidding process. Customer satisfaction with ARC has historically been very good. Recommendation It is staff's recommendation that consideration be given to all options that will maximize the Village's ability to secure an effective and efficient solid waste program and contract. At this time staff is seeking authorization to begin this process by entering contract negotiations with ARC Disposal and Recycling Company. Should authorization be given, the Village shall maintain the option to open the contract for bid, if it proves to be in the Village's best interest. / ....1 '/~'r" , ., 7" / ./" /~' --.-/ .. ._ t,,," '. .... / ,(, ,c-.
