RESOLUTION NO. 2007 – 1 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BOWLING GREEN TO ENCOURAGE THE CONSOLIDATION OF SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICES Summary of Resolution No. 2007 - 1 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Commissioner Strow explained his sponsorship of this resolution to take a step toward reducing greenhouse emissions that go into the air, as part of the Kyoto agreement included in the approval of Resolution No. 2006-7, by consolidating these services with the use of one truck. He further explained that by consolidating these services into one truck, it may be possible to reduce or eliminate the monthly recycling fee paid by City residents. Since Warren County was responsible for contracting these services for the City, Comm. Strow pointed out that the approval of this Resolution would request consideration of the issue by the County. 8 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-January 2, 2007) Commissioner Denning expressed disagreement with the idea that consolidating services could potentially reduce costs or save money. He commented that Scott Waste, the current solid waste franchisee, may not have the ability to pick up recyclables without any additional cost and that they may not even want to be in the recycling business. Comm. Strow stated that he was not suggesting Scott Waste be the company to take over. Nancy Givens, speaking on behalf of Go Green Bowling Green, expressed support for actions to address environmental issues and encouraged the Board to consider expanding recycling and composting services. Southern Recycling General Manager John Fellonneau indicated that Warren County was experiencing 77% participation in the recycling program and that his company utilized seven vehicles to perform the pickup services. He expressed concern with the consolidation of services since industry standards required less than 2% contamination in recyclables, and he noted that if consolidated, there would be more potential for contamination. Mr. Fellonneau responded to questions regarding whether any collected materials end up in landfills, the fuel costs to provide services and the company’s profit margin. In response to a request for clarification, City Attorney Gene Harmon indicated that the responsibility for solid waste collection rested with counties according to state statutes. Comm. Wilkerson stated that he was not interested in debating another governmental entities responsibilities and was not comfortable with telling them how to operate. Comm. Denning concurred. Mayor Walker commended Comm. Strow for brining this item forward to address environmental concerns. However, in order to address source separation or contamination concerns, she suggested an amendment to the Resolution as follows: Insert a paragraph prior to the last paragraph on page 1 to read, “Whereas, source separation ensures that all recyclables are removed from landfill, thereby reducing the need for additional landfill and reducing energy consumption; and,”; and to renumber paragraph number 2 on page 2 to number 3; and to insert a new number 2 to read, “The contract must guarantee source separation of recyclables.” Following further discussion, Comm. Nash stated he supported the Resolution and that a vote on the issue would indicate the City’s position to Warren County. Upon clarification of the amendment, motion was made by Strow and seconded by Nash to amended Resolution No. 2007 – 1 according to the suggestion made by Mayor Walker. With no additional discussion, a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Nash, Strow and Walker Voting Nay: Denning and Wilkerson Motion to amend Resolution No. 2007 - 1 was approved by majority vote. Motion was made by Nash and seconded by Strow for consideration of said Resolution as amended. Mayor Walker asked for additional discussion, and with none, a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Nash and Strow Voting Nay: Denning, Wilkerson and Walker Resolution No. 2007 – 1 as amended was defeated by majority vote. 9 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-January 2, 2007) CONSIDERATION OF ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Walker explained that there were a few changes to be made to the recommended appointments to accommodate the Commissioners’ schedules.
