Council hears plan for recycling program and $10,000/year estimate; staff to refine cost model
Summary
Staff presented a proposed recycling program and an initial cost estimate (roughly $10,000 annually); council members urged a closer look at long-term costs and potential fee adjustments.
Staff (S2) described an initial proposal to implement a city recycling program and presented a rough estimate of the annual cost. "The last thing that I have on on the budget highlight is the implementation of recycling program... and I show that in the sanitation" S2 said, explaining the proposed expense line in the sanitation fund.
Council members questioned whether the $10,000 estimate would be sufficient and noted that the expense could continue into future years; staff acknowledged the figure may be low and said the item would be discussed further as revenues and service details are refined.
No final action was taken; staff said program details, estimated customer impacts, and proposed fee adjustments will be provided in future budget materials.
