Staff moves to explore weekly recycling and expanded cleanup services; council asks for costed plan
Summary
Staff proposed reinstating weekly curbside recycling and additional special-event cleanup/roll-off services and asked to work with the incoming city manager on cost and implementation. Council did not act and asked staff to return with a detailed plan and options to control costs.
Staff told council they are exploring returning to weekly curbside recycling service (same weekday) and adding a recurring roll‑off/clean‑sweep event and hazardous cleanup options; staff said fees and contract design will determine whether recycling can be provided without increasing resident costs.
"I would like to sit down and work through this with with with him, with Hayden," staff said, referring to the incoming city manager, and asked to model revenue offsets (trash revenues) and present options that could keep costs the same or lower them. Council asked staff to bring back a detailed proposal, including pricing, opt‑in/opt‑out mechanics, and possible special-event plans for hazardous materials and tires.
