Councilwoman Morgan asked the City Manager to explain the difference in rates, to which the City Manager responded that the County increased their rates for solid waste disposal, as there had not been a rate increase within 10 years. There was a NET increase of $13/annually, which was for Solid Waste Disposal. Councilwoman Morgan asked the amount of the current rate, the proposed rate, and the tipping charge, to which Mr. Capezzuto responded that Waste Pro’s rate was decreased by .80 cents per house.

Mayor Oravec stated that he was not happy with Waste Pro’s level of service and asked if the fine the City charged Waste Pro could be given to homeowners whose trash wasn’t picked up, to which the City Attorney responded that it would be determined by the language in the contract, as they were operating under a franchise agreement with the City.
