Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Ordinance 2019-21 pertaining to the elimination of commercial dumpster operations within the Sanitation and Environmental Services Department.
Background
On April 23, 2019, the BOMA approved Resolution 2019-22 directing staff to modify municipal code to eliminate commercial dumpster service as an offering by the City of Franklin. This decision was based on results of a cost of service analysis that indicated that the commercial collection service was under-recovering and would require a substantial rate increase.
Ordinance 2019-21 and its companion ordinance, 2019-22, are to be effective August 1, 2019, consistent with the notifications provided to the City’s commercial dumpster customers.
Financial Impact
The financial impact has not been entirely quantified with respect to reallocation of resources and eliminating the need to hire additional staffing to accommodate collection demands. Elimination of this service does significantly reduce costs related to equipment and staffing for which the rates do not recover.
Recommendation
rec
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2019-21, effective August 1, 2019.
