The following communication was presented and read at length: Fort Collins, Colorado August 8, 1963 Mr. William Widdows, City Manager City of Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Sir: The new City -County Sanitary Landfill will be ready to begin operation on Monday morning, August 19, 1963. I would propose that the landfill area would be in operation 7 days a week and 365 days a year, with it being closed on Christmas and New Years. The dump would be open from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. during the summer months and from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. during the remainder of the ,year. The old fee schedule will not be adequate for the new operation, and I propose the following new rates. Packer Trucks Regular Trucks Pick-up or 4 wheel trailer Auto or 2 wheel trailer Old Car bodies Old car bodies Dead animals Dead animals 4.00 per load 2.00 per load 0.75 per load 0.25 per load 0.50 each in lots of 5 or more 1.00 each in lots of 4 or less 1.50 each over 100# 1.00 each less than 100# The County currently has an Ordinance which provides a $100.00 fine for any litter ing along the roads and they plan to enforce this rigidly, along the routes to the new dump. I feel that the existing tree dump within the City Limits can be left in operation; but that it will need some modifications. The entrance should be fenced off, and the gate would be closed and locked at all times it is not in use. It should be used only by licensed tree trimmers and these trimmers would each have a key for the lock on the gate. The license fee for the tree trimmers should be raised from $5.00 per year to $60.00 per year, to help defray the expense of the tree dump operation. Any fee revisions desired by the City Council will require an Ordinance change. Yours very truly, Is/ G. J. Weiss, City Engineer 108 Motion was made by Councilman Colwell, seconded by Councilman McMillan, that this matter be referred to the Citv Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance. Roll was call- ed resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Honstein and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.
