Others Present: |
Matt Hernandez, Waste Management |
It was moved by Adams, seconded by Loebach, to approve the minutes of the |
April 27, 2004, meeting. The motion carried by a voice vote |
Solid Waste Contract - Update |
Hernandez informed the committee that Waste Management decided to hold off on an |
increase for commercial accounts. It could have been 9%. |
Hernandez also told the committee that Waste Management has had problems with yard |
waste pick up. One of the problems is a high turn over rate. Hernandez spoke with |
someone higher up and was assured that it won't happen again. |
He also commented that all went well with the Lilac Parade and Waste Management is |
in the midst of working on the upcoming Taste of Lombard. They will supply 96 totes |
and 6 8-yard containers. |
Hernandez commented that Westmont's Recycling Extravaganza was a big hit. |
Will start showing 2003 information on the Tonnage Report for comparison. |
2004 Recycling Extravaganza |
DeStephano informed the committee that she attended the Materials Recycling |
Subcommittee meeting. They have a number of excellent recommendations. Burg |
interjected that he did talk to Lane at Arlington and it sound like a good deal. They will |
charge $5 per tube and everything else would be free. They would also only charge an |
additional $1,000 for anything over the $10,000. He said he's willing to take a risk as a |
public service and to get the press. He can make money on the other stuff. He also |
said in his experience there is two tubes per vehicle. Jendras suggested advertising |
only two tubes per car. Adams commented that he is pleased with the $11,000 cap. |
Once of his concerns was possible extra charges because we don't know the quantity. |
With this offer, the Village is losing the risk. Loebach commented that because of |
publicity, we probably need to get this to the Board of Trustees as soon as possible. He |
also suggested that if the Village funds it this year, we should try for a grant next year. |
It was moved by Adams, seconded by Jendras, that this matter be recommended |
to the Board of Trustees for approval for staff to negotiate a contract with |
Arlington to provide electronics recycling at the 2004 Recycling Extravaganza |
with a cap of $11,000. The motion carried by the following vote: |
Volunteer Training |
Adams explained that the majority of volunteers are on books. If we do electronics we'll |
probably only have to unload. When the volunteers get there, he'll walk a group |
through. Also, the greeters should be adults. If we know who they are ahead of time, |
we could go over the survey with them. Loebach suggested checking on the greeters |
once an hour or however often you know you're going to have a greeter change. Adams |
commented that as people come in, they will need to be trained by whoever is running |
that specific area. |
Vendor Contacts |
Burg said he has the recyclers lined up. Destephano will handle the food and Burg will |
handle water, etc. |
Publicity Flyer |
The committee agreed to use the same flyer format as last year. Will add "residential |
recycling only", no pallets and old grills (for metals). Move hangers and pots to end of |
metals. |
Mosquito Abatement |
Burg commented that we don't yet know where the traps are located. There was a |
positive two weeks ago. Will try to have trap locations for next meeting. Burg further |
explained, that part of the problem with locations is they may move the traps periodically |
during the season. Loebach commented that he was confident that at the end of the |
season they (the County) would be able to give Lombard information. He also asked |
how Clarke will know when to call about spraying if they have no traps in town. Burg |
explained that they will go by surrounding municipalities counts. |
Schukat and Adams will modify the press release to include if people no of a backyard |
catch basin that is not necessarily on their property. |
Loebach suggested that perhaps the Code Enforcement interns could take a look for |
catch basins when their out. Burg pointed out that they are doing commercial properties |
this year and to get into catch basins in parking lots you could be looking at thousands. |
That money is not budgeted. Loebach suggested that they still look for them even if we |
don't treat them, so we have the information available if it's needed in the future. |
Sub-Committee Reports |
Multi-Family/Commercial Recycling |
Loebach informed the committee that the downtown mailing has gone out, 50 letters. |
The subcommittee hopes to complete the survey in the next 3-4 weeks. The June |
meeting is cancelled. |
Materials Recycling |
Refer to beginning of Item 040049 regarding electronics recycling. |
Community Recycling Fund - Budget Update |
It was moved by Schukat, seconded by Adams, to adjourn at 8:50 p.m. The |
motion carried by a voice vote |
