The City Council together with the City Manager having made a study of the matter of whether to
put residential garbage service out on contract or continue this service as a city operation since
this department has been operating in the red and bids having been received and tabulated for this
study, and the Council having announced at their regular meeting of May 17, 1961 that-a decision
would be forth coming at this meeting, some 50 interested citizens were present and were heard
both for and against said matter. Mr. Jake Seiber, Mr. William Brennan, Mr. Dan Brown, Mr. Rusk,
Mr. E. R. Sandmeye r spoke for the retention of this service by the City. Mr. Stephen Huza spoke
on the utility tax of 5% which this department now pays to the general fund and stated that it
should be no more than that paid to the City by other utilities. Mr. Chet Hanson and Mr. Jim
Eaton, both representatives of labor unions, spoke in favor of the City continuing this service.
Mr. Max Vincent attorney for Eichler Garbage - Service, one of the bidders, spoke on behalf of said
bidder and contended that his bid was the only bid which had met all of the specifications. Mr.
Lester Campbell also spoke in favor of awarding the bid to Eichler Garbage Service, contending
that the City should get out of the garbage business. Mr. Vere Lipscomb, chairman of the 1960
Yakima Development Committee study group-on garbage, reviewed this committees recommendations and
urged the Council to consider a 20 cent a month across the board increase rather than charging
more for a different number of cans, and for carrying cans more than 25 feet and limiting the
brush haul as proposed by the Council. Manager Smith reviewed the economic study of City
operation of residential garbage service compared to contractor operation, stating that the base
for the study is the 21% bids offered by two different contractors, and that the gain to the city
under contractor operations would be $12,168. and under municipal operation would be $28,902, and
further explained that this difference came about because the city is exempt various taxes that
the private hauler must pay and that the city does not need to realize a profit on its operations.'
It was also disclosed that old equipment and the brush haul were the things that were costing the
city money under its present operation. All persons having been heard both for and against this
matter, it was MOVED by Keith, seconded by Maxwell that all bids received for contracting resident
ial garbage service be rejected and the city continue this service: carried, Barber, Bostic,Keithi
Larson, Lemon, Maxwell and Robinson voting aye by voice vote. Councilman Maxwell suggested that
the matter of the 5% utility tax now paid by this department to the general fund, be studied
further.'
