User - pay system to be studied again

North Vancouver City
council's perennial interest
with garbage collection has
arisen and once again as
usual there were almost as
many ideas put forward as
there are City aldermen.

Last year at this time City
council reviewed its methods
of garbage collection and
decided to keep the same
system but to review it this
year.

| Last week City council
| decided it was too late to

start a new system in January
but imstructed staff to
prepare a_ report. before
Aprmil indicating the cost of
setting up a user pay system.

Of the large number of
ideas discussed in the policy
meeting, the concepts of a
user-pay syStem, a selective
user pay system, and a
container system, were most
favorably received by
council members. «

The principle of user pay,
if adopted, would see only

those residents who pay for
garbage collection receive
the service.

An updated report by the
City engineer outlines the
disadvantages of the user
pay system, which include
additional costs, an  ad-
ditional workload and more
public complaints.

Overall the report, just as
with last year’s report, seems
to recommend retention of
the current system.

ARBAGE - City looks at the option

Council members are
considering alternatives to
the current system because
they feel it is imequitable
since many apartment
owners are being forced to
use a container system that is
not supphed by the City.

Another recomendation
brought forward from last
week's policy meeting was
rejected by council. This

called for inviting private
garbage collection firms to
submit proposals’ for
providing garbage collection
for the whole City, for
comparative purposes.

A tie vote Monday,
defeated this motion, after
some aldermen felt it might
be inflamatory and might be
taken to mean that the City
was thinking of breaking its
current union contract for
garbage collection.
