Action Requested
Approve, by motion, the Chapter 58 Ordinance Amendments and the Door-side Service Operating
Order
Background/Discussion
According to the agreement between our solid waste haulers, Randy's Environmental Services and
Republic Services, a door-side service can be provided by the hauler to those customers that are unable to
transport waste collection carts to the curbside for weekly or bi-weekly service collection.
In order to keep a record of this extended service and to justify the service to those customers that
request it, a Door-Side Service Operating Order and application has been developed along with the
necessary ordinance amendments.
This service is to be used by those customers who are elderly or disabled, and, therefore require the
service. Applications are to be approved by the city administrator or his/her designee. Application for
the service indemnifies the city and hauler of any damages to residential or personal property or persons
as a result of the service.
