E. H. Edwards, Arcadia Church of Nazarene Mayor Robert J. Considine PRESENT: Councilmen Arth, Butterworth, Forman, Hage, Considine The Minutes of the regular meeting of February 6, 1968 were on MOTION by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Hage. man Butterworth abstained from voting as he was absent from meeting, due to illness. Motion carried. approved Council- said Complying with the request of the City Council the City Manager prepared in report form his recommendation concerning the number of commercial and industrial refuse permits to be issued. He para- phrased same, to wit: that staff has requested all applicants to complete forms which would indicate ability and willingness to meet standards outlined in the ordinance recently adopted setting forth regulations; that to date four applicants have responded satisfactorily; that it appears at this time that' the number of permits desirable would not exceed six; that should it become apparent from developments that this number be increased it could be done at such time. It was noted that all permit holders would compete freely throughout the city and would be available at the maximum rates to be listed as part and parcel of their applications. Councilman Butterworth stated in part that he could not accept the concept of a quasi-monopoly which would be the case if the present limit,of five wele continued; that there is no substitution for competition other than competition itself; that when limited to six it would make it easier for collusive price control, which was hard to detect; that companies which are not qualified could not come in under the strict standards recently adopted. He concluded in part by suggesting permitting a limit of eight licensees, which would be another step toward free enterprise, although he favored opening the commercial and industrial refuse pickup to qualified companies. Councilman Hage agreed with Councilman Butterworth on the need for competition, but felt that the actual number of permittees should be left open for the time being and await developments. Councilman Arth agreed in part with Counctlman Hage that some type of limitation must be imposed; that he would be amenable to placing the number at eight. Councilman Forman MOVED that the number of business licenses for commercial and industrial rubbish pickup be limited to six. Mayor Considine seconded the motion and commented that by limiting the number to six the Council could suspend the license of any collector who is not operating in compliance with the standards; that it will insure good service at a fair price and then referred to the estimated number of accounts within the city to be served by the proposed six collectors. 1. 2-20-68 PRESENT PERMITTEES " HEARINGS "-(Rubbish "\"0<0' CITY REFUSE SERVlCE CO.
