April 5, 2010

Issue Statement

Consideration of a motion to revise the brush pick up schedule for fiscal year 2010-2011.

Background/History

Mayor Weaver asked the Municipal Services Committee to review the scheduled dates for this year’s residential brush pickup program. This request was in response to resident’s feedback the City received about this year’s scheduled dates, which were different than previous year’s schedules. The residents we spoke with understood reducing the number of pickups from 7 to 4, but requested that the first pickup be scheduled earlier and the last pick up be scheduled later. At the March 22, 2010 Municipal Services Committee meeting, the Committee discussed revising the pick up dates. The suggested revised schedule is as follows:

· Original Schedule--------------------------------Revised Schedule

· June 21-June 25 May 24-May 28

· July 26-July 30 July 26-July 30

· Aug 23-Aug 27 Aug 23-Aug 27

· Sept 20-Sept 24 Sept 27- Oct 1

Upon approval by the Council, Staff will inform residents of the revised schedule via the cable channel, direct connect, local papers and the City’s website.

Committee Recommendation

The Committee recommends approval of the revised schedule.
