4B. REFUSE CONTRACT AND ORDINANCE. (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.

the word "week".

Sergel, 7731 Matterhorn, Cucamonga. Mr. Sergel had complaints and questions re-
garding the refuse service. After some discussion, Mayor Schlosser suggested to
Mr. Sergel that the line of questioning was not pertinent to the ordinance and
directed Mr. Sergel to me~t with himself and Mr. Wasserman the next day to help
resolve his problems.
There being no further response from the audience, Mayor Schlosser closed the public
hearing. He set August 20 for second reading of Ordinance No. 117.
