(21) Harry Empey presented the staff report for a refuse contract and ordinance for the purpose of awarding a franchise for refuse service in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Councilman Mikels questioned Section 4 of Ordinance No. 117 regarding the 100 percent non-payment penalty charge. Francis Passarelli of Rancho Disposal explained the 100 percent penalty. He said the average refuse bill is approximately five dollars per month, therefore, it would not be a large amount a person would be paying. This was to be an incentive for people to pay. This was a normal procedure for refuse companies. Mr. Empey suggested that this section be removed and be considered with the resolution establishing fees. Also, addressing Council were: Jim Avakian and Phil Gentile. The City Attorney suggested the following should be inserted in Section 4: "A penalty shall be determined by Resolution of the City Council from time-to-time establishing a charge for those who fail to pay the regular charge within 30 days following the date on which they are first billed thereof." Council concurred with this change for Section 4 of Ordinance No. 117. Councilman Mikels questioned Section 5 as to how it related to vacations.
