Request for Council Action <br /> Page 2 <br /> in commercial bin rates as based on the CPI. The Council further directed <br /> that the extension of the current contract would not be considered for <br /> favorable approval until all the other matters had been successfully negoti- <br /> ated. <br /> The extension does not appear , at this time, to be supported by a majority <br /> of the City Council so this clause is not included in the amendment. Three <br /> members of Council have declared conflicts of interest on the subject of <br /> the refuse collection contract and have abstained from participation in <br /> deliberations and voting. Mayor Garthe has informed staff that he will not <br /> support an extension of time so the maximum possible is three affirmative <br /> votes, not sufficient to carry a motion for extension. <br /> Further discussions with the contractor and analysis by the City' s staff <br /> indicated that it would be better not to change the current basis of the <br /> contractor ' s payments from water meters to population or some other indicator . <br /> The City Attorney has also subsequently reviewed the existing contract and <br /> amendments and has advised that it is legally sufficient and, therefore, <br /> need not be redrawn in its entirety at this time. The matter of rate adjust- <br /> ment due to the strike settlement was concluded by Council approval of a <br /> special $0.15 increase at their May 3, 1976 meeting. <br /> ms <br />
