Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Tuesday, February 21, 2012 <br />Page 20 Motion to rescind the motion to authorize acceptance of bid - Option 1 submitted by <br />Kimble for residential solid waste recycling services. <br />Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mr. Marrie, made a motion to rescind the motion to authorize <br />acceptance of bid - Option 1 submitted by Kimble for residential solid waste recycling services. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All Motion Carried <br />NAYS: None Motion to accept bid for residential solid <br />. waste recycling services rescinded. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, do we need a motion to table it, or just leave it? . <br />Mr. Marrie replied, Doug mentioned about bri.nging in the individual to clarify some of these <br />items. <br />Mr. Metzung clarified, whether or not we bring her in or she just verifies, I will let you know. <br />Council President Buckholtz sees it as a two-part situation. Personally, I like what you're talking <br />about. I connected to more of this regionaUwhat are other people doing, not so much as what I <br />prefer. I hate picking up the little yellow things and having stuff fall all over the place. The onus <br />is largely on Council. We ha.ve had two weeks. We knew the discussion two weeks ago. Find out <br />what people in your community, in your ward, in your neighborhood, on your street, prefer. If <br />they'd like to come and speak at Council or if you'd like to come to. speak on their behalf. We <br />have often done these things. This is the proactive way. But just to say, I don't think that I'm <br />going to recycle more really isn't making much of an argument. This is really a ludicrous <br />conversation. To tallc about what your neighborhood would prefer and at the same time to find <br />out what other communities are doing to find out whether; he's giving you a standard that has <br />been proven or tested that recycling goes up, therefore tonnage goes down. It's ludicrous for us <br />to argue that. If we are going to table this which is what we are going to do, why don't we look <br />to get somebody in from Solid Waste and why don't we get some residents in and find out what's going on? Does that make sense. <br />Dr. Parker asked, Doug, when do you need to know by? <br />Mr. Metzung replied, I'm not sure. I thought it would pass. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, we did lead you to believe that at Caucus. <br />Mr. Metzung replied, they have to have so much leeway to get it started. The contract starts June <br />16'h, but there has to be a certain period of time for them to get it started. <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, I think there's a certain onus on the Service Deparhnent to consider the <br />two sides of the thing. One is the efficiency of the gazbage and the other is the convenience for <br />the residents. There needs to be some input from Service on those types of thi.ngs. <br />Mr. Metzung replied, the Service Director did not make this ca11.
