Mayor Serdy announced since items 10,11 and 12 dealt with the same issue,he would hold the public hearing for all three items at one time,but each item would have a separate vote. Those who wished to speak on the items would be given 5 minutes to address their comments on all three items. While several Request to Speak forms had been submitted anyone wishing to speak on the items may do so. Mayor Serdy read all three items aloud to start the public hearing process. Councilmember Barker requested to make a brief statement first. She read the postcard that was mailed to"residents"of Apache Junction and commented on the statements listed on that postcard. Councilmember Evans moved,seconded by Councilmember Barker that Resolution No.19-30, declaring as a public record that certain documents filed with the city clerk entitled"2019 Amendments To Apache Junction City Code,Vol.1,Chapter 9: Health And Sanitation,Article 9-5: Collection Of Residential Solid Waste",repealing any conflicting provisions;providing for severability;and declaring an emergency be approved. Yes: 5- Vice Mayor Wilson, Councilmember Barker, Councilmember Evans, Councilmember Schroeder and Councilmember Struble No: 2- Mayor Serdy and Councilmember Rizzi Mayer Serdy asked Assistant City Manager Matt Busby to start the discussion. Mr. Busby provided a quick summary of the initial RFP and process for the collection of solid waste. He then introduced Steven Herring to provide a brief presentation. Mr. Steven Herring provided a brief presentation regarding their company, provided a rate comparison, the old and new rates, services, contract terms, service reliability, servicing 2,400 other municipalities across the country and recycling costs. City Attorney Joel Stern explained why the city had a Resolution and an Ordinance for this item. He stated to avoid the significant publication costs associated with publishing the entire amendments to the city code, a resolution is used to adopt as reference those amendments, and just the Ordinance is published, not the exhibits or attachments. Mayor Serdy inquired if the Resolution and Ordinance pass and are adopted and the contract is not approved, would that then negate the Ordinance and Resolution? Mr. Stern addressed the emergency clause first since the Ordinance had an emergency clause affiliated with it. City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 4 City Council Meeting Meeting Minutes December 3,2019 Mr. Stern stated if the Ordinance is passed with a less than 6-1 in favor vote, the Ordinance passes, but the emergency clause does not take effect. If the contract is not approved, then there is no contract for services with Allied Waste. Assistant City Manager Matt Busby then reviewed the services that were addressed at the open house that encompassed the city code language/regulations as well as the contract language. He reviewed the requirements listed in the ordinance language. Mayor Serdy then opened the Public Hearing. He reminded everyone that while some had filled out the Request to Speak forms, they are not required if anyone wishes to speak on the three agenda items during this public hearing. Mayor Serdy started with the Request to Speak forms. A summary of the items addressed by those who spoke at the public hearing is listed below the list of speakers. Michael Wilcox, 743 N. Saguaro Dr., Apache Junction, AZ Pearl Agar , 538 S. Acacia Rd., Apache Junction, AZ Laurel Lewis, 5430 E. Shfrock St., Apache Junction,AZ Kathy Boseck, 655 S.Vista Rd., Apache Junction, AZ Dale Stites, 1123 S. in Dr. Apache Junction, AZ George Schroeder, 2444 W. Virgina St. Apache Junction, AZ Josi Perez-Wagner, 1935 S. Saguaro Dr. Apache Junction, AZ Terry Reynolds, 1121 S. Lawther Dr. Apache Junction, AZ Michael Wilcox stated he opposes the item, he does not want to be dictated to. His amount of trash so minimal it does not warrant the service. Pearl Agard stated she is neither for or against the service yet. Her neighbor who is blind shares garbage service with her for$54.00 per quarter and they still do not fill the trash can as much as they fill the recycle bin. She asked council to explain about pick up for horse manure. She understands the administrative fee goes to the general fund and stated the money should be used for cleaning the city up. Punishment for not paying your solid waste bill becomes a felony? This is an abuse of power. Laurel Lewis read a prepared speech and provided a handout for the overhead projector. Believes the city has found a way to tax 50% of the residents without calling it a tax. The administrative fee is being used to bring income to the city. Apache Junction is a poor city with the average income of residents approximately$21,000 per year, the national average $28,000 per year. What benefits will the city receive by collecting the administrative fee? This service will not help with code compliance issues. Code compliance duties are dictated by state law. City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 5 City Council Meeting Meeting Minutes December 3,2019 Only half of the city residents will be paying the administrative fee, trailer parks, RV resorts, residential properties larger than a 4-plex are exempt. The contractor can increase the fee every year, which in turn means an increase to the city. The contract violates free enterprise. The city will be stuck with the contract whether the provider does a good job or bad job. The city should address poverty, homelessness and drug problems within the city. There are fees with the pick-up of your trash can when you change companies to the tune of$75.00. Kathy Boseck stated she wants to be able to choose which trash hauler she uses and does not want to be forced to pay for garbage service. She stated there is either a lack of information or misinformation about the administrative fee. She wanted clarification on what the administrative fees would be used for. She assumed it would reduce their dump fees. She mentioned that Waste Management drives into her neighbor's yard leaving deep tracks where they back up to turn around. Dale Stites stated he lives in Apache Villa and comments from a meeting they held were mostly on the lack of information provided to residents especially the winter visitor residents. George Schroeder stated he worked for Allied Waste in 2001-2002. The power the city is using is illegal. He stated the piles of trash in someone's yard has been accumulating for years. Code enforcement needs to do their job. He tried to cancel his RAD service and he could not reach anyone. Code Enforcement is behind this and someone is going to get shot over this. Mr. Schroeder stated he was not making a threat,just suggesting council be aware because the issue has so many people upset. This is a dangerous issue. The city is trying to use the Terrorist Act to impose this service. Jose Perez-Wagner commented on the benefit of reduced emissions and potential improvement efforts towards environmental matters having a single provider; but she is opposed to the penalties being imposed. Apache Junction is a city of retired people and the income of most is much lower than other communities. Terry Reynolds- Did not approve of the grouping of the public hearings. Limiting people to 5 minutes to address all three items is a manipulation of the system and is wrong. He could not find any other meetings where the ordinance was discussed. He spoke on the administrative fee which will not be paid for by the other residents of the city who live in RV parks, trailer parks or residential units larger than 4- leis. Earlier it was stated that this would help pay for the household hazardous waste events. That program benefits all Apache Junction residents. Therefore the administrative fee could be construed as a discriminatory fee. He would like his concern reviewed. The administrative fee was to monitor the contract and program, not to pay for a city program. Mr. Reynolds then said, "as of this day I am resigning my seat on the board of the Municipal Property Corporation". City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 6 C4 Council Meeting Meeting Minutes December 3,2019 Mayor Serdy that concluded hearing from those who filled out the Request to Speak forms and asked for other speakers. Ms. Melody, lives near Warner and University stated she has complained to code compliance and the police for three years trying to get her neighbors to clean up their trash. She can smell their trash and sees it every day. The neighbors do not even take it to the landfill. Trash is everywhere in her area, and it devalues her home. Dave Dingley, 2948 W. Tepee, Apache Junction stated he is a winter visitor and was happy to hear that for the six months he is not here, he can obtain a waiver from trash service. He does not accumulate enough trash on a weekly basis that warrants weekly pick up. He is more concerned with his neighbor who has several broken down vehicles, a broken hot tub, a travel trailer, a mattress, dog kennels, a stove, an exercise machine and other things in his yard. He would like to see that cleaned up. Brenda Chenyholmes, 812 E. Hondo Ave. Apache Junction, AZ stated she is in support of the service and pays $30.00 per quarter with Republic Service. She is tired of seeing all the wrong information being distributed. Connie Van Driel, 213 S. Charlebois Rd., Apache Junction, AZ stated she did receive the anonymous mailer that trashed the elected officials. She stated she believes it was sent out by another trash company which holds contracts as a single hauler provider for other cities and finds it ridiculous. She also addressed the illegal dumping that occurs inside and out of the community. Over her many years of service in government, they partnered with community organizations and municipalities to clean up the trash in the area. Illegal dumping scars the beauty of the area. She asked council to approve the item. Gil Den Besten, 560 N. Valley Dr., Apache Junction, AZ appreciates his ability to choose what services he pays for. The 8% "gratuity"the city is getting should not influence who is awarded the service contract. Amelia Times, 835 S. Lawson Dr., Apache Junction, AZ expressed appreciation on the reduced cost for garbage and recycling service. She did address the fees and fines for not participating in the program and stated this could force those on fixed income to actually lose their house. Jim Palmer, 240 E. 13th Ave., Apache Junction, AZ inquired if there is a cancellation clause if the provider does not live up to the services. He inquired what residents will be charged for their old trash can to be picked up. City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 7 City Council Meeting Meeting Minutes December 3, 2019 Bob Mole, from the Apache Junction Food Bank, stated he currently uses Republic Services but is tired of seeing all the different trucks drive up and down his street. He has been relocated six times in his career and in all locations, they had a single source hauler. Tobia Eaks, lives near San Marcos and Shiprock here in Apache Junction. Stated she shares trash and recycling with a neighbor. She does not have trash service, computer access, newspaper service, postal delivery or phone services. She knows of others that do not have sewer or water service and they do not keep a trashy residential lot. She is not a winter visitor but only"sleeps" in the city approximately 60 nights a year. She travels a lot. She is concerned that she may have a criminal record if she does not subscribe to the service. Anita Soller, 220 E. 13th Avenue, Apache Junction AZ stated they moved to the city a year ago. When she moved to the city she had a problem with the first garbage provider so she contracted with another provider. The first provider still charged her for picking up her can and billed her for the entire quarter. Sandra Fisher, 1860 S. Winchester Rd., Apache Junction AZ thought the concerns of the residents were freedom of choice. The other concern is the cost being imposed on those who live on a fixed income. Monty Moore lives at the junction of US 60 and Tomahawk Rd. in Apache Junction stated most of his thoughts and concerns had been discussed and addressed. It is the freedom of choice that is being taken away especially for a service he does not need. The penalties are excessive. He inquired as to what initiated the matter. He has received excessive misinformation but no factual information. A trash can will not fix the trashy people. Enforcement needs to be done through code enforcement. Kimber Shinn, 1877 W. 11 th Avenue, Apache Junction presented letters from residents who have received misinformation on the service. She expressed concern over the 100% participation rate and if that is not met, will the price increase. The other concern addresses vacant lots where people store their belongings but there is no residential unit on the lot. She expressed concern for those people who may not be able to afford the service. Diane Burns, 527 W. Whiteley St. Apache Junction, AZ stated she picked a random neighborhood and spoke to everyone she met. She stated she had letters to submit to the council and read one letter in particular. The majority of people she spoke with expressed opposition to the service. Robert Newhouse 2935 E 18th Avenue, Apache Junction, AZ stated he was in favor of having a single provider, but does not like the mandatory requirement. Those who throw their trash in their yard are not going to change just by having a trash can. His other concern was the penalties that could be imposed. City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 8 City Council Meeting Meeting Minutes December 3,2019 Council took a short recess at 9:06 p.m. Council reconvened the meeting at 9:17 p.m. Mayor Serdy requested staff address some of the concerns that had been expressed. Assistant to the City Manager Anna McCray answered some of the questions. She stated while pick up of manure is not part of the contract, they do offer that service for$16.00 per month for a 96 gallon container with once a week pick up. There are no felony provisions in the code. The civil and potential criminal penalties are similar to what other cities have and is consistent with provisions already in the city's code. Other cities allow for placing liens on homes,Apache Junction is not going to be placing liens on property. The city ordinance outlines the process of mediation for compliance. In response to Councilmember Rizzi's question about criminal charges, City Attorney Joel Stern stated after following the process for compliance and efforts to work with the individual to help them come into compliance, if there is no resolution, then it can escalate to a misdemeanor. He stated cities and towns cannot pass felony law. In response to Mr. Palmer's question about rescinding the contract if Allied Waste fails to honor the terms of their contract, Mr. Stern stated there is a termination clause. Councilmember Barker stated she is an avid recycling advocate and right now there is nowhere to take our recycling goods. Councilmember Schroeder asked staff to explain the 8% administrative fee. City Manager Bryant Powell stated it is an administrative fee that will help offset the cost for the household hazardous waste events. The event roughly costs $80,000, but the city is reimbursed by Pinal County$20,000 for those residents that live in the county that bring their waste for disposal. So the estimated cost of the event the city pays for is $60,000. The city is estimating roughly$100,000 of new revenue, but in actuality it becomes $40,000. Like most cities with a single hauler, there will be work for a staff member to monitor and work with the provider on issues. Councilmember Schroeder highlighted a few comments made about how the city is home to a significant percentage of low income residents, and yet the city houses 50%who have another home somewhere else. If you want to know what business your city is considering it is easy to find through their website and the agendas they post. He understood there are people who do not generate a lot of trash, but to open the door for exceptions, it creates a flood of issues. City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 9 City Council Meeting Meeting Minutes December 3,2019 Councilmember Rizzi commented she has taken over 200 calls and emails from people against the contracted service. One common denominator however, was that the city needs to be cleaned up. Illegal dumping is also an issue. The resident that throws their trash out the back door or hoards junk may have an issue with drugs or mental health. So there are issues to be addressed and maybe the conversation needs to be continued. Vice Mayor Wilson responded to a comment stating the city is forcing a 2 day service of garbage collection on them. He stated it is actually state law that the city provide 2 days per week garbage collection if it is offered in your area. If you don't have trash you do not have to put our can out. Only when it is full. In response to trash trucks driving up and down the roads; three different providers drive up and down the same street. He commented on when people burn their trash. There are state laws against burning on certain days, but again, enforcement is an issue. The city council has held several meetings on solid waste services he referred them to the internet to watch all the council video. Councilmember Evans stated earlier in the year the city passed the property maintenance standards. These items go hand in hand. Apache Junction has had a long standing reputation. This is another step to improve the lives of its residents and improve the city as a whole. She stated city council works hard at doing what is best for the residents. To improve their quality of life and to appreciate the value in property value. Change is not easy or comfortable, but the city is growing and it needs to address these priority matters. Councilmember Struble thanked the audience members for attending the meeting. Council has to make decisions that impact each and every one of them and so many times there is no one from the public that attend these meetings. They rely on council to do what is best for the city and its residents. This is an environmental issue, a health and safety matter as well. Mayor Serdy stated he pays for sewer but the connection was never made. He has garbage service at his home and his business. He pays for both. In response to a question from council, Mr. Herring from Republic Service stated the contract regulates the rate. The rate is the rate. This is why they and the city need to work together to have the highest compliance percentage.
