ITEM filftTLu 1ION 1u AUTHORIZE STAFF TO OPEN A CITY CREDIT CARD WTTH
BANK OF AMERICA
PREPARED BY
EXPLANATION.
Every year, the police department and fire depaituient send several of their staff to
attend job related trainings and conferences which are usually required by state
mandates. In order to make hotel reservations, a credit card number must be provided
to guarrantee the rooms. Individual members of staff allows the Administrative
Secretary to use their personal credit card numbers to confirm hotel reservations. This
may create problems, the largest being the fact that one employee is using another
employees credit card number to reserve the room. In addition, staff finds it difficult to
coordinate the room reservation and employees credit card when the employee is off
duty. To make it easier for staff to make reservations, it has been requested that the
city applies for a city business credit card. This credit card will exclusively be used for
hotel reservation purposes and will be physically kept in custody at the vault in the
Finance Department at all times. The authorized signers will exclusively be the
Finance Director or the Financial Services Officer. It will not be released to the
possession of the training/conference attendees. The bank line of credit to be applied
for shall not exceed $ 1,000.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
MEETING DATE May 11, 1999
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2
ITEM TITLE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL C11'Y
SETTING THE DATE, TIME, AND PLACE OF A PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION
OF THE ADOPTION OF VARIOUS CALIFORNIA AND UNIFORM CODES BY REFERENCE
PREPARED BY Kathleen Trees, Acting Director DEPARTMENT Building and Safety
EXPLANATION Government Code Section 50022.3 requires that the City Council conduct a public
hearing prior to adoption of the 1998 editions of the California and model codes pertaining to the
construction of buildings in National City. It is recommended the public hearing be scheduled for the
City council meeting of May 25, 1999 at 6:00 p.m.
State law requires that the new edition of the codes becomes effective on July 1, 1999, which is 180 days
after publication by the State Building Standards Commission. On this date the 1998 edition of Title 24
must be enforced at the local level. The above date for the public hearing will allow the local effective
date of the adoption to coincide with the state requirement.
Ordinances adopting the codes and amendments to the National City Municipal code have been prepared.
The local adoption allows the City to amend the codes adopted by the State Building Standards
Commission, however state law states that any changes made to the technical provisions of the codes
must be justified as "reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical
conditions." Administrative provisions of the codes may be amended without such findings.
The Advisory and Appeals Board at its May 4, 1999 meeting recommended that the City Council adopt
the codes and local amendments.

PREPARED BY Kathleen Trees, Acting Director DEPARTMENT Building and Safety
EXPLANATION.
State law requires that the City of National City adopt the California Building Code
and limit technical amendments to those needed due to local topographical, geographical, or climatic
conditions. Specific findings regarding the local technical amendments must be made by the local
jurisdiction and filed with the Department of Housing and Community Development. State law does not
restrict local amendments to the administrative provisions of the codes.
Staff is recommending that the City continue to require shake roofs to be Class C fire -retardant due to the
local climatic conditions. This is more restrictive than the state requirement for ordinary roof coverings.
All other amendments concerning permit expiration and renewal remain the same as in the past. The
amendments include reference to the National City Municipal Code requirements pertaining to notices
and orders and appeals. These have worked well in National City.
The attached staff report addresses some of the more significant changes found in the 1998 California
Building Code.

1998 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE
One of the most significant changes to the 1998 California Building Code is the way in which
the code is now published. In the past, the State has adopted the Uniform codes with state
amendments. This year, however, the State has chosen to incorporate the amendments into the
uniform codes and publish them as the California Codes. The code is now jointly published by
the International Conference of Building Officials and the California Building Standards
Commission.
This is the last time the State is expected to adopt the uniform model codes. Progress is being
made to switch to the International Family of Codes during the next code cycle. The
International Codes are a combination of the codes produced by the three major code
organizations. The majority of states east of the Mississippi River use building codes published
by the Building Officials and Code Administrators International or the Southern Building Code
Congress International. The code change cycle now includes joint meetings between members of
the different code groups.
The 1998 California Building Code has a completely rewritten exiting chapter. It now includes a
three-part definition of "means of egress." These definitions are the exit access (where exiting
starts), the exit (the point where the code feels an adequate level of safety has been achieved) and
the exit discharge (the area where the occupant goes after leaving the building). The UBC was
the last model building code not using the three-part definition and the change was long overdue.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in 1956 first used the three-part means of
egress system. It is anticipated that the change will eventually make the code easier to use in
designing and enforcing these provisions and it was important in the effort toward a single
national building code.
Also new is earthquake design chapter. This code change has been under development since
1993 by the Structural Engineers Association of California Seismology Committee. It now is
important to know the proximity of the structure to the fault. Strong ground measurements from
the Northridge. Kobe and other large earthquakes have shown that ground motions are
significantly greater near the earthquake. To account for this a near source factor has been
introduced. This factor only applies in seismic zone 4.
A major structural change requires sill anchor bolts to be a minimum of 5/8". The code's
minimum sill bolt size and spacing has been unchanged for the past 51 years, during which
period substantial increases in minimum lateral loads have been incorporated into the code's
engineering provisions. Calculations show that the current prescriptive code requirements for
sill anchorage are not adequate to provide this equivalence in Seismic Zone 4. Along the same
line. the code now addresses the practice of over -sizing the holes for the sill bolts. Square plate
washers are prescriptively required to compensate for this practice. This will reduce the
tendency for longitudinal splitting of the plate from seismic loading. The new edition of the
code also requires a minimum amount of steel reinforcing to be included in slabs and footings in
seismic zone 4.
-2-
Different in the adopting ordinance this year is the removal of the limit of accessory structures to
100 square feet. The limit now agrees with the latest edition of the code and is set at 120 square
feet. In addition, during the last cycle re -roof permits were exempted. The building inspectors
had problems with incorrectly installed roofs and advised that the requirement be reinstated.
The proposed amendments regarding permit expiration and renewal reflect similar amendments
approved previously by the Advisory and Appeals Board and have worked well in National City.
The amendments include reference to National City Municipal Code requirements pertaining to
notices and orders and appeals.

called is not complete or when corrections called for are not made.
This section is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the
first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this
code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is
ready for such inspection or reinspections.
Reinspection fees may be asecassed when the inspection record card is not
posted or otherwise available on the work site, the approved plans are not
readily available to the inspector, for failure to provide arress on the date for
which inspection is requested, or for deviating from plans requiring the approval

project.
Prior to the issuance of a temporary Certificate of Occupancy, the
premises shall be inspected by all affected City departments who shall prepare a
list of work required to be completed and shall forward the list along with
written approval or disapproval of the issuance of temporary Certificate of
Occupancy approval to the building official.

any affected City department.
A copy of a written document granting temporary Certificate of
Occupancy approval shall be provided to all affected City departments.
15.08.075 Chapter 1. Table 1-A "Building Permit Fees" —not adopted. Chapter 1,
Table 1-A Building Permit Fees of the California Building Code is not adopted.

existing buildings adjacent to the principal entrance where the numbers posted at
the entrance shall be posted on the building or at a point that is plainly visible
and legible from the street which is addressed. If necessary, directional signs
shall be posted showing proper aectpcs to a given address, from the point where
the Fire Department access roadway leaves the dedicated street, to the entrance
of each addressed building. All such numbers shall be placed on a contrasting
background.
15.08.085 Sections 1507.12 and 1507.13 "Roof -covering Materials and
Application" —amended. The City Council specifically and expressly finds and declares that
the density of development and the existence of ocean breezes and the existence and use of dry
untreated wood chakPs and shingle roofs create conditions which contribute significantly to the
potential spread of fire, which thereby nerpccitates that the roof -covering requirements of
Section 1507.12 and 1507.13 of the California Building Code must be more reasonably
restrictive to minimize fire spread and are therefore amended as follows:
1507.12. Wood shakes. Shakes shall comply with California
Building Code Standard No. 15-3, shall be Class C fire retardant, and shall be
installed in accordance with Table No. 15-B-2.
1507.13. Wood shingles. Shingles shall comply with ('alifornia
Building Code Standard No.15-4, shall be Class C fire retardant, and shall be

EXPLANATION.
TheState of California does not adopt this code and accordingly, there are no limitations on local
amendments. There are no substantial changes to the 1997 Uniform Code for the Abatement of
Dangerous Buildings. It is recommended that the code be amended to require that when a building has
been ordered to be boarded, that all openings must be completely covered with not less than one-half inch
exterior plywood or similar material attached with 1/4-inch by two inch lag screws in each corner and at
24 inches on center around the perimeter of the opening. In addition, it is recommended that the code be
amended to allow the Building & Safety Director to require that tamper -proof lag screws be utilized in
those instances where conventional lag screws have failed to prevent entry by unauthorized individuals.
These changes are the same as during the previous cycle.

Kathleen Trees, Acting Director F'` Building and Safety
EXPLANATION
State law requires that the City of National City adopt the California Mechanical
Code and limit technical amendments to those needed due to local topographical, geographical, or
climatic conditions. Specific findings regarding the local technical amendments must be made by the
local jurisdiction and filed with the Department of Housing and Community Development. State law
does not restrict local amendments to the administrative provisions of the codes. The proposed
amendments address permit expiration and renewal and are administrative in nature. These amendments
remain the same as in the past.
The majority of code changes made were editorial in the 1998 California Mechanical Code (C.M.C.). The
changes were necessary to clean up the inconsistencies created by the common code format. No
substantial technical code changes are incorporated into the 1998 C.M.C.

1998 CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE
The 1998 California Electrical Code (C.E.C.) contains new requirements pertaining to the
location and types of circuits. In dwelling unit kitchens all countertop outlets must now be GFCI
protected. Previously, only the ones within 6' of the sink had this requirement. Along these
same lines the two kitchen small appliance branch circuits are limited to supplying wall and
counter space. There is an exception allowing them to also supply clocks and gas appliances.
Outdoor receptacles will no longer be permitted to be supplied by these branch circuits. Motor
loads such as disposals are no longer allowed on the kitchen branch circuit.
In the bathrooms the outlets must be supplied by at least one 20-amp circuit. This circuit must
not have other outlets or the lights connected to it. This change addresses the loads put on the
receptacles in bathrooms which typically include hair dryers and other high -wattage loads.
The proposed amendments regarding permit expiration and renewal reflect similar amendments
approved previously by the Advisory and Appeals Board and have worked well in National City.
The amendments include reference to National City Municipal Code requirements pertaining to
notices and orders and appeals.

State law requires that the City of National City adopt the California Fire Code and limit
technical amendments to those needed due to local topographical, geographical, or climatic conditions.
Specific findings regarding the local technical amendments must be made by the local jurisdiction and
filed with the Department of Housing and Community Development. State law does not restrict local
amendments to the administrative provisions of the codes. Staff is recommending that the California Fire
Code be adopted with minimal revision.

Resolution No
A-200 (Re.. 'f0 1
CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE
Several articles in the Fire Code have been completely rewritten. One of these is Article 29. The
rewrite reformats and expands the article in response to the increase in vehicles utilizing
alternative fuels. The article utilizes requirements contained in nationally recognized standards
to establish controls for LP -gas, LNG and hydrogen -fueled vehicles. More specifically, Article
29 has specific ventilation requirements for repair garages dealing with natural gas and
hydrogen -fueled vehicles. Differing ventilation requirements are needed because hydrogen and
natural gas are lighter than air. On the other hand, garages with liquid fueled and LPG -fueled
vehicles must provide ventilation to prevent the accumulation of flammable vapors at the floor.
These gases are heavier than air.
Article 32 has been rewritten to adequately address cooking and heating and the storage and
handling of associated equipment and fuels in tent areas. The rewrite also maintains consistent
definitions with the Building Code as it applies to assembly occupancies. The proposed
regulations are more prescriptive with the use of LP -gas used under tents, canopies and
temporary membrane structures. Distances to property lines and other hazards were placed in
the body of the code, thus eliminating Table 3205-A for location, access and parking around
tents.
Article 64 is new in the code. It contains the requirements for the safe installation and operation
of stationary lead -acid battery systems. There are currently thousands of such systems in the
field that have had an excellent safety record. The systems do, however, present unique hazards,
which are not adequately addressed by the existing provisions of Article 80. The new article
contains specific and enforceable requirements for these installations. A fire permit is now
required for these systems unless the individual batteries contain less than 20 gallons and they
are used for stand-by power, emergency power or uninterrupted power supplies.

Appendices thereto together with the amendments set forth•in Section 3 of this ordinance as the
fire code for this city.
Section 2. The City Council finds that the amendments being made in this Chapter

Legislative Advocacy Services
PREPARED BY Park Morse, Asst. Cna erDEPARTMENT City Manager
EXPLANATION.
On April 7, 1999, this Office released an RFP for Legislative Advocacy services. Solicitations were sought from seven firms
including our current provider, the Wilson Group. Proposals were due back on April 29. Two firms responded, the Wilson
Group and Advocation (the former Chula Vista provider).
Three other firms contacted our Office during the solicitation period and indicated that they were interested in applying, but
had learned that we had an existing relationship with a lobbyist. Each commented that as long as this relationship continued
in effect, they would not compete with a colleague.
A committee has been formed to make recommendations to the City Council. The Committee is composed of the City
Manager, City Attorney, the Executive Director of the CDC and the Assistant City Manager. The Committee has met to
review the situation.
We are each a bit puzzled and dissappointed at the lack of response to our RFP. Our hope was to interview most of the
original seven and then screen the group down to three or so firms to refer to City Council interviews.
The fact that we only received one competing proposal and they each were almost identically priced serves to effectively
neuter a competitive review of the advocacy agreement. Accordingly, the Committee has elected to suspend our interview
process originally scheduled for this week and recommend to the City Council that we place the two proposals on hold. The
two firms have been so advised. J

Financial Statement
The Refuse Fund will be augmented by $150,000, the Franchise fee to remain at 8%. Keeping the rate
constant for this 3`d year will benefit the Citizens and Businesses of National City.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve, again, the Refuse rates that were. ablished in FY-98 and carried to FY-99, approve the
Refuse enterprise fund amount, approve the automated curbside program, and approve the Franchise
fee to stay at 8% for FY-00.

Resolution No.
A-200 (9/80)
REFUSE RATE RECOMMENDATION FOR FY-00
Basis:
The establishment of the rates for trash service is based upon estimates of the quantities
of various components to be used (Landfill quantities, yard waste quantities, recycables
sold, and consumer price index) as related to the cost/price of such components. This
determines the rates. For the Rate Review, the actual performance for 9 months (July -
March) is escalated to 12 months, and the actual total costs/price of budget items is
determined, and is compared to budgeted amounts. Overcollection or undercollection by
EDCO occurs unless our estimates are uncannily exact, which are adjusted by increasing
or decreasing the Enterprise fund collection.
Overcollection/Undercollection:
For the FY-99 rates. we anticipated that the tip fee would start the year at $32.00 per ton,
and would end at $36.00 per ton giving an average of $34.60, which was used in rate
calculations. Because of a number of factors, the rate has stayed at $32.00, thus causing
an overcollection by EDCO of about $50,000. The amount collected for curbside recycling
was within a few dollars of the $37,000 projected, and no over/under collection is
appropriate. Yard waste tonnage and costs resulted in a difference of less than $400 on a
$55,000 estimate. so no over/under collection is appropriate.
FY-00 Projections:
The tip fee rate for FY-00 will stay at $32.00 per ton, which, will generate another $50,000
in FY-00. In addition, we are projecting a decrease in total trash to be disposed,
generating an additional cost reduction of $30,000 for this reason. The existing rate
already has a 521.000 Enterprise fund contribution.
These factors will allow the $150,000 contribution to the Enterprise fund to occur, without
a rate change. The curbside program is anticipated to generate the same level of funds
($37,000) as last year, so no adjustment is necessary for this element.
Automated Curbside:
EDCO has proposed transitioning from the present hand -sorted "blue box" system for
recyclables to an automated blue cart system. The new carts would be 60 gallon carts,
similar to the 90 cailon trash carts, except blue, and would be an automated system. By
this we anticipate an increase in participation in the curbside program (it is easier to
recycle everything into the blue cart); and by that increase, concurrently reduce the
quantity of trash to be disposed. The sheer size of these carts should reduce the amount
of scavenging, since it will be much more difficult to remove items. In addition to the two
downward pressures on the rate, there are upward pressures in the cost of the carts and
equipment, and further downward pressures due to decreased collection costs. The net
result is an increase of about $26,000 per year, or $15,000 for the program in FY-00
(since it will take until 1 December to get the program up and running). A further
description of the program is attached.
EDCO Letter and Auditor Report:
The "Rate Adjustment' letter from EDCO is appended.
The figures upon which the rate is based are subject to review (specifically on agreed
upon procedures) by an audit firm selected by the City and paid by the Contractor.
(Deloitte and Touche LLP has been selected in the past few years and their report is also
attached.)
Recommendations:
a) That the Refuse fund amount be set at $150,000 for FY-00,
b) That the Contractor's offer to transition to blue carts for Automated Curbside in the
1 December time frame at a cost of about $15,000 for FY-00 be approved,
c) That in the interest of keeping trash rates the same, the Contractor's offer to forgo the
CPI increase to which he is entitled by the contract be accepted,
d) That the City delay the 1 °i° franchise fee increase (to 9%) for the same reason, and,
e) That the rates for all of EDCO services to the City remain at the current level, (i.e.,
established by Resolution 97-68) without an increase for FY-00.
Subscript:
It should be noted that if approved, the single family rate history will be as follows:
FY-95 $16.68/$16.30
FY-96 $14.85
FY-97 $14.36
FY-98 $13.98
FY-99 $13.98
Proposed FY-00 $13.98 !
Future:
It should further be noted that preliminary review of pertinent factors indicate a FY-01 rate
increase in single family of the range of $0.50 to $0.75 per month, with corresponding
increase in the other EDCO services.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
The Refuse Collection and Recycling Agreement between the City of National City and EDCO
Disposal Corporation provides for certain periodic rate adjustments. The contract allows for a
pass through of changes in the disposal site fee and annual adjustments by the amount of the local
consumer price index.
After four straight rate reductions, EDCO is pleased to propose that the rates for the upcoming
year be unchanged from current rates again this year, as they were last year.
This rate stability is made possible by favorable results of landfill costs and recycling revenues
compared to projections made last year. Consistent with last year's plans the Trash Enterprise
Fund contribution will be increased for the coming year.
EDCO is proposing to automate the collection of curbside recyclables later this year to increase
participation and reduce scavenging. Also, EDCO is pleased to waive an increase in rates related
to cost of living increases in operating expenses this year.
EDCO continues to offer a 20% discount for senior citizens in National City.
As in prior years, EDCO's requests for rate increases have been subjected to independent review
by the auditing firm of Deloitte & Touche. Their report supports our rate proposal.
Please approve the attached rate schedule to be effective July 1, 1999. As always, thank you for
your consideration.
Respectfully,
EDCO Disposal Corporation

of the procedures is solely the responsibility of the specified users of the report. Consequently, we make
no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described in Attachment A either for the
purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an audit, the objective of which would be the expression
of an opinion on the specified elements, accounts, or items. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that
would have been reported to you.
This report will not be used by, or circulated, quoted, disclosed, or distributed to, nor will reference _o
such report be made to, anyone who is not a member of the Specified Parties without the express written
consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T"). The parties hereby acknowledge that the report is

ATTACHMENT A
The procedures we performed, which relate primarily to your fiscal 2000 residential refuse rate, are
summarized as follows:
1. We read EDCO's internally prepared financial statements for the nine months ended February 28,
1999, and the audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 1998. We inquired of Dan
Gallaher (Controller for EDCO), as to any changes in accounting policies and methods of
application which might affect the fiscal 2000 refuse rate for National City. No changes which
might affect the fiscal 2000 refuse rate for National City were identified.
2. We agreed the fiscal 1999 refuse rate from the prior year's calculation to the refuse rate used in the
fiscal 2000 refuse rate calculation.
3. We obtained information from the U. S. Department of Labor - Bureau of Labor Statistics and
agreed such information to the amount used in the Consumer Price Index ("C.P.I.") adjustment in the
fiscal 2000 refuse rate calculation. We noted the Company elected not to request an increase related
to the Consumer Price Index.
4. We recalculated franchise fees due to National City for the period from April 1, 1998 to March 31,
1999, to ascertain that they were calculated based on 7% or 8%, as applicable. of cash collected as
reported in EDCO's underlying financial records. Recalculation was performed without exception.
5. We read franchise fee remittances made to National City by EDCO for the period from April 1,
1998 to March 31, 1999 to ascertain that they were made on a monthly basis.
6. We agreed San Diego County estimated landfill tip fee of $32.00 per ton projected in the fiscal 1999
rate review process to correspondence from the County of San Diego regarding the Tip Fee
Resolution Approved for Implementation July 1, 1997.
7. We agreed actual tons of refuse collected for two judgmentally selected days in the period from
July 1, 1998 to February 28, 1999 to the supporting landfill tickets.
8. We recalculated the percentage effect of the projected fiscal 2000 landfill tip fee decrease on the
fiscal 2000 refuse rate. Recalculation was performed without exception.
9. We ascertained that one-time adjustments to the fiscal 1999 refuse rate were properly excluded from
the fiscal 2000 refuse rate.
10. We recalculated the difference between the actual annualized revenues from the sale of recyclables
and the projected revenues from the sale of recyclables used in the fiscal 1999 refuse rate.
Recalculation was performed without exception.

judgmentally selected months. From the underlying accounting records, we judgmentally selected
five daily recyclable totals and agreed those totals to supporting work tickets. We determined the
reasonableness of recycling rates as compared to three judgmentally selected recycling receipts.
12. We recalculated the effect of franchise fees on the fiscal 2000 refuse rate. Recalculation was
performed without exception.

Single Family Residential
Commingled Curbside Recycling Collection
Single Family Residential Recyciing will continue to be collected curbside by EDCO on
the same day as refuse service and is proposed to convert to a commingled automated
program It is anticipated that the effective implementation of this type of commingled
program will increase recycling participation up to 50% over current levels and will assist
the City in achieving the goals of AB 939.
In this program_ each single family resident will be provided a blue_ six: -four gallon
automated cart for collection of recvclables. This container is approximately two thirds of
the size of the existing gray refuse containers currently in service, and provides increased
mobility for the entire residential base.
By creating a convenient, more effective way to recycle through commingling of all goods,
participation should dramatically increase, particularly for cardboard and mixed paper
recycling. Acceptable commodities in the program will continue to include. but will not
necessarily be limited to, glass, tin, aluminum. PET, IDPE, narrow -neck plastics.
newspaper, mixed paper (including, junk mail, telephone books, magazines) cnd cardboard.
Given the evolving nature of recycling, as well as proposed legislation currently under
consideration_ it is very realistic to assume that this list will continue to expand during the
life of this Ag , eement. By automating recycling collection, the resulting increased capacity
the cart provides will easily accommodate additional commodities being added to the
program_
In addition_ commingled programs have also been proven to decrease issues associated
with scavenging of curbside recycling programs. The material, fully commingled within an
upright automated cart, is much more difficult to scavenge. This is especially important to
National City. _ given that scavenging has been an ongoing challenge and has removed
revenue that otherwise would be credited against collection cost elements_
EDCO will provide an extensive public education program prior to and through program
implementation_ as well as on an ongoing basis through billing inserts and the
Environmental Times quarterly newsletter. In addition, each cart will be hot stamped
noting the basic types of commodities acceptable to the program thus creating a
permanent point of disposal reminder. Through experience, EDCO has learned that public
education is the cornerstone of a successful diversion program, including the creation of
bi-lingual printed material.
EDCO proposes to implement this program in approximately December. 1999, allowing
for increased recovery of holiday generated material, particularly cardboard and mixed
paper (wrapping paper). Carts will be distributed Citywide over the course of a one week
period, including point of delivery information and program parameters.
In order to ensure a smooth transition, the existing manually collection vehicle will run
simultaneous with the automated truck the initial two weeks of the program. Residents
will keep the existing blue curbside containers for gathering recyclables prior to disposal
This too has proven effective at increasing participation.
The automation of recycling will also create an aesthetic improvement on collection day,
providing for neat, uniform appearance throughout the City. In addition. carts reduce
vector and odor concerns associated with residue (bottles/tin) in certain recyclables.
