Description

Ordinance to amend Chapter 4.12 Solid Waste Collection and Disposal of the 2020 Municipal Code, by amending Sections 4.12.010 "Definitions-Solid Waste Collection and Disposal" and 4.12.060 "Collection and Disposal-Rules and Regulations"; enacting new Section 4.12.061 "Waste Preparation Practices"; Repealing Section 4.12.065 "Disposal of Yard Waste" and amending Sections 4.12.080 "Solid Waste-Persons Permitted to Collect" and 4.12.110 "Collection Fees-Residential". 
Background/Discussion

Starting July 1, 2023, the City will begin utilizing a more uniform approach to sanitary waste collection for our citizens, including the use of uniform carts for disposal of waste and recyclable material.  Updating this code to reflect the changes and requirements with regards to cart size, process of replacement, methods of disposal, designation of carts as dangerous and/or incapable of use and other procedures will help define the responsibilities of both the City and the citizens.

Recommendation

Approval is recommended.
