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.'
