HIRING MORATORIUM EXEMPTION The Purchasing and REQUEST - PURCHASING & PROPERTY Property Control OFFICER - APPROVED Officer position was exempted from the hiring moratorium, and recruitment for the position was authorized, on the unanimously approved motion of Council- man Evans, seconded by Councilman Ward. Council was pro- vided with a report on the position vacancy, dated February 20, from the City Manager. CA 50 STATUS OF The Assistant City TRASH NEGOTIATIONS Manager reported that ORALLY REPORTED the Staff had reviewed the data provided by the Contractor, Great Western Reclamation, Inc., on February 9; that the cost data did not include equipment depreciation, lubricants, insurance, executive compensation, overhead and profit, nor was it certified by the Contractor's auditor; that the Contractor was requested by letter to provide the additional information so that the City may determine what impact the twice-yearly Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments have had on covering the Contractor's increased expenses. Mr. Wolford stated further that based on the wage rate informa- tion received, the increase in drivers' wages experienced by the Contractor from December 1970 to December 1975, is nearly equal to his payment received from the City, including CPI adjustments and special labor adjustments, so that the repeal of the Contractor's pay-back feature of the contract would provide the Contractor with added revenue of $43,000 in 1976, which together with the twice yearly CPI adjustments would offset increased labor costs. The Contractor has been provided with a letter containing the foregoing information, and the City is expecting a response in the very near future, according to Mr. Wolford.
