Following a presentation from Lake County Planning Director Mike Willett of

Committee. It was the opinion of Mayor Smoak, and Council was in agreement,

hensive plan as they would desire for this area, in order to develop a position
regarding the plan prior to presentation to the Lake County Board of Commissioners.

Dear Mr. Robertson:
We have investigated your request for waiver of the $9.00 per
month collection fee since you dispose of your own garbage.
The Code of Ordinances does not provide for the waiver of the - -- -
fee. However, you have the right of appeal to the City council.
Please advise if you would like to appear before the City Council
so we can place you on the agenda.
Sincerely.

RE: CAREACB COLLECTION
Dear Mr. Hopkins:
I am in receipt of your letter of Juoa 27, 1975, regarding the garbage collection
fee and a possible waiver of the fee for Mr. Robert It. Robertson.
As you pointed out in your letter, Section 10-2 of the Code of Ordinances provides
that actual producers may dlspoea of their own garbage. However, this is merely an
....... exception to the general rula that no mw except thecity may collect. and dispose.
_....
of refuse and garbage. This section does not mention a waiver of the fee.
Section 10-6 of the Code of Ordinances provides for a fee for "each property owner
having a municipal water service meter connection to the cityls water supply and
storage system or plant". There is no provision here for the waiver of the fee.
In conclusion, the Code of Ordinance:: has no provision for the waiver of the fee,
however, relief could be afforded by Section 10-3 which allows aggrieved parties
the right to appeal to the City Council.
Vcryilly yours, I

Dear Mr. Baird:
Attached is a lat0er from Robert R. Robertson of 1017 Montrose
Street which is self-explanatory.
Section 10-2 of the Code of Ordinances provides that actual
producers may dispose of their own garbage and trash. Section 10-6
provides for fees for city collection and disposal. - -
Do we have the authority to waive a fee in the case of owner
disposal as outlined in Mr. Robertson's letter?
Your comments will be appreciated.
