181 <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer asked if there was an appeaI period on this item. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift answered yes. Council has fifteen days to appeal <br /> the decision made by the Planning Commission. He pointed out that <br /> this item was listed in the staff report for Item 7a, Actions taken <br /> by the Zoning Administrator, Desiqn Review Board, and Plannin~ <br /> Commission (UP-92-33). <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver indicated that he intended to appeal the decision <br /> when the item was heard. <br /> <br /> 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> <br /> Item 6a <br /> Review of Rate Adjustment for Refuse Collection (SR92:320) <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing open on the matter. <br /> <br /> Martin Inderbitzen, Attorney at Law, 5000 Hopyard Road, <br />representing Pleasanton Garbage Service, thanked the Council sub- <br />committee and the staff for the work on this matter. He had no <br />need to add any comments to the staff report and stated that he was <br />available to answer any questions. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr askedMr. Inderbitzen to explain the senior discount. <br />She also asked him to explain how the senior discount will apply to <br />the 90 gallon cans for new service. <br /> <br /> Mr. Inderbitzen referred to page five of the staff report. He <br />stated a senior discount applies to all of the rates. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked if a senior would receive the $8.31 rate when <br />the new 90 gallon rate starts. <br /> <br /> Mr. Inderbitzen did not believe so. He stated that a senior <br />would receive the 90 gallon automated can rate. There is a senior <br />discount rate for a 30 gallon can because presumably the senior <br />would produce less garbage. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr stated that the senior citizen who is new to the City <br />would not have the choice of having a 30 gallon can at the $8.00 <br />rate. She felt that Council should discuss the price of size of <br />can. She stated that the 60-gallon can rate is less than the 90- <br />gallon can. She understood that those people using 60-gallon can <br />or less are paying the 90-gallon fee and are essentially <br />subsidizing the people that fill and/or overflow their 90-gallon <br />cans. She believed that the person who uses a 60-gallon can should <br />pay less than the person who uses a 90-gallon can. <br /> <br />8/ s/92 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
