MEMORANDUM
TO Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: David C. Patek, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 23, 2012
RE: Authorization to implement Automated Collection of Refuse and Garbage
BACKGROUND
As you know, the 2012 Operating Budget was developed with the assumption of converting from the current
manual program to automated collection procedures utilizing single - person vehicles. I have attached the
following previously distributed information:
1. Automated vs. Manual Cost Calculation Sheets
Implementation Timeline for Conversion to Automated Collection
ANA YSfS
The cost summary comparison was created assuming a collection vehicle life of nine years. The total cost
comparison for that time period is $1,780,500 (manual) vs. $1,181,060 (automated). This calculation is based
on the assumption that each property owner will be responsible to pay for carts required at their property.
Review of the proposed timellne shows an estimated implementation date for this program being late
September or early October.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annual cost savings for converting to automated collection is calculated to be $66,604.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the resolution.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
Mark A. Rohloff
