BOARD OF REVIEW
MAY 20, 1987
Board of Review for Junker Sanitation Service was held on Thursday, May 20,
1987, at 4 o'clock p.m. in the City Council chambers. Present were Mayor Paul
Ackland, Aldermen Marlin Torgerson, Pat Mikulecky, Mike Carls and John M linar,
City Administrator Gary Plotz and City Attorney Barry Anderson, as well as Jim
Junker and Wayne Albrecht, representing Junker Sanitation.
Mayor Ackland called the meeting to order and asked the audience for any
comments concerning refuse service.
1. Bob Wyttenhove, 130 Washington Avenue, asked why the City and Junker
both charge for refuse service at his rental property and stated he feels this
is an unfair "monopoly." Mayor Ackland explained the terms of the Junker
contract.
2. Dan Cadott, Manager, Cashwise Foods, stated he would like the
availability of hauling compacted garbage which the store could process
rather than using dumpsters which encourage scavengers and which can be
unsafe due to necessary poisoning for pest control. Junker Sanitation
had indicated to Cashwise representatives that it would be prohibitively
expensive to provide service for compacted garbage to only one local
user. Mayor Ackland requested that Junker provide Cashwise Foods with a
written proposal for such service as soon as possible, with a copy to be
sent to the City.
3. Aloma Davison, Northside Grocery, asked why there are three separate
charges for the grocery and attached apartment. Jim Junker responded he
will check the volume and provide her with a written proposal of what
appropriate charges should be. Mayor Ackland requested that the City
also receive a copy of this proposal.
Discussion continued between the City Council and Jim Junker concerning
services and rates. Jim Junker referred to a lawsuit which he has filed
against the City claiming damages for past City practices.
Jim Junker presented his proposal for 1987 rates, which would include an
increase of $3 per month for residential service and $3 per month per
container for commercial service.
A motion was made by Alderman Carls to close the Board of Review hearing.
Motion was seconded by Alderman Torgerson and carried unanimously. Hearing
was closed at 5:10 p.m.
