Resident describes three-year garbage nuisance; council authorizes garbage services RFP and debates residential trash ordinance
Summary
A resident described a three-year garbage nuisance at 578 North Oakland Avenue; council authorized advertising for garbage services Requests for Proposals and advanced a broader residential solid waste ordinance to first reading.
During the March 18 meeting, resident Rosemarie Reeher of 570 North Oakland Avenue told council she has been 'fighting a garbage issue with the house at 578 North Oakland Avenue for three years,' saying the property is now condemned but 'the smell between garbage and dog feces is horrible.' She also said 'There are two recycling bins filled with garbage that Tri County will not take.' City Manager Robert Fiscus said he would request an emergency pickup.
Separately, council advanced Ordinance #03-26 on first reading, which would repeal and replace Chapter 1060 of the Code to regulate residential garbage, recycling and yard waste collection; and the council adopted Resolution #34-26 to authorize advertising for Requests for Proposals for garbage services. Attorney Brett Stedman responded to a citizen question about holding property managers responsible by saying 'we cannot legally pursue the property manager.' Council recorded unanimous votes on the consent motions and related resolutions.
