Chapter XVIII, Section 19 of the City’s Code of Ordinances allows private solid waste providers to apply for a Business Tax Receipt (BTR) to provide garbage services to the City’s commercial customers. This is in conflict with current practices of the City’s commercial solid waste collection services and has created problems enforcing violations of the City’s Code.
The Administration desires to amend Chapter XVIII, Code of Ordinances, to designate the City as the sole provider of solid waste collection and disposal services within the City, to amend the regulations for hauling and disposal of construction and demolition debris, and to provide penalties for violations.
This recommendation will align the Solid Waste operations with current practices and the City’s Strategic Plan to be a high performing city organization providing great customer service and continuing to increase the City’s financial sustainability. |
