Finance Committee will be formulatiag a recommendation with respect to funding such a service but feels ft is imperative that the question be addressed by Council, specifically the Environmental Comm.i.ttee, for recommendation with respect to polieies relative to refuse. Finance and Environ- mental Committees will meet jointly to discuss further with the hope that the Environmental Committee can and will develop a recommendation with resgect to either reaffirming the existing policy, making adjustment to the existing policy, so if it is the intent to change the existing policy, the Administration can be given some direction as to what Council would be looking for. Feels Council should first look at the existing policy; see if it should be changed or not; then make a decisian with respect to funding. Under the existing policy, and under the existing contract, the City is obligated to pick up garbage from condominium owners prvvided Che garbage is placed at the curb. Committee is prepared to make a recommendation to Council on the funding aspect of that if every condominium owner puts the garbage out on the curb under the existing policy. Hopes to get some information from the Law Depart- ment with respect to the existing contract with BFI as to whether the City can advertise for specific garbage pickup for a certain segment of the community in light of the fact that these same property owners are entitled to garbage pickup under the exlsting contract. Will be scheduling a meeting on the subject and would request the Mayor, Law Director, Finance Director and Service Director to be in attendance. 2) Committee also discussed funding for the CRIS Unit for the Police Department in the amount of $4,793.
