MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: David C. Patek, Director of Public Works .cP
DATE: November 7, 2013
RE: Revision to Chapter 23/ Section 23-7 Standards of Service
BACKGROUND
Chapter 23 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh covers the regulations relating to the disposal of
garbage and recyclable materials. The purpose of the revision is to allow the establishment of an annual
fee to the owners of residential dwelling units for the collection of recyclables, as proposed for the 2014
Operating Budget.
ANALYSIS
Due to decreases in various revenues (sale of recyclables and State aid), the 2014 Operating Budget for
the City of Oshkosh proposed charging a fee of$20 per dwelling unit to the owners of residential dwelling
units (single family to 4 unit in size)for the collection of recyclables.
The recommended change to the Municipal Code will add the following language to Section 23-7 (A) (2):
"The owner of each residential dwelling unit will be charged a fee billed annually, established by
resolution on an annual basis by the city council, for the collection of recyclables. In the case of mobile
home parks, the owner of the mobile home park will be charged the same fee billed annually, for each
mobile home lot contained in the mobile home park."
FISCAL IMPACT
This fee is estimated to create a revenue of$420,000.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of the proposed changes to Municipal Code Section 23-7, Standards of Service.
