Re: Garbage Disposal By-law

Attached please find copy of memorandum from the City Engineer dated June 18th,
1974, Also attached is a report dated December 15th, 1972. The City Council
approved the six recommendations contained in the December 15th, 1972 report
.and subsequently the G.V.R.D. agreed to provide the sum cf 35,000 to assist

in a Solid Waste Recycling Pilot Project.

The Public Works Committee feels that garbage collection service is a direct
measureable service similiar to domestic water service and sanitary sewer
service and that a direct charge for the service is a reasonable approach,
‘This becomes particularly important when it is considered that the City is
not able to provide garbage service to all tax payers or residents. It is
also felt that if the recycling project is approved and is successful some
reduc ion in charges might be considered by Council,

The Committee recommends that tke 7 recommendations outlined in the City
Engineer's report of June 18th, 1974 be approved by Council.
