BOARD OF REVIEW
TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1988
The Board of Review for Junker Sanitation Services was held on Tuesday, August
9, 1988 at 4:30 P.M. in the City Council Chambers. Present were: Mayor Paul L.
Ackland, Aldermen Mike Carls, John Mlinar, Marlin Torgerson and Pat Mikulecky.
Also present were: City Administrator Gary D. Plotz, Manager Wayne Albrecht and
an attorney from the LaBore Law Firm representing Junker Sanitation.
Mayor Ackland called the meeting to order and asked for comments from the aud-
ience concerning refuse service.
1. Glenn Woelfel, Manager of Cash Wise Foods, commented on the services offered
for garbage pickup. He was in favor of a 30 square yard container into
which refuse could be dumped from inside the building. Also, he preferred
hauling once or twice a week to give a better appearance and remove the
refuse. Mr. Woelfel had no complaint concerning charges; however, he re-
quested action on a better system for their store.
Manager Wayne Albrecht thought that Jim Junker had given the former Cash
Wise manager a quote on compacted garbage service. He stated that Junker
will be picking up refuse with a compactor at HTI so the service will be
available.
Alderman Pat Mikulecky requested that Junker Sanitation provide Cash Wise
with a quote within the next two weeks.
2. Bill Block, owner of Country Club Terrace, complained about the charges at
his mobile home park. Junker's rates are two to two -and -a -half times higher
than in the other mobile home parks he owns in other locations. Mr. Block
had paid what he thought the charges should be and written a letter to Jun-
ker; however, he never received a response. In the meantime, finance
charges have been added to the bill. He felt the charges were negotiable,
but he would prefer to haul the garbage himself.
Administrator Plotz stated that at one time the City Council did set a rate
for pickup charges in mobile home parks.
Mr. Albrecht commented that Mr. Block was paying the same rate as the former
owner of the mobile home park. He would inform Mr. Junker to contact Mr.
Block regarding the rates.
3. Phil Schweizer, owner of the McLeod Landfill, stated he was at the meeting
to answer any questions on landfill. He reported the rates at the landfill
are $8 a cubic yard for a compacted load and $5.50 a cubic yard for loose
fill, the same as what Bullert charged, except for an increase to $10 for
minimum charge. Also, the hauler is charged double rate if his pickup is
not covered.
Mayor Ackland commented that as of January 1, 1991, the landfills can no
longer accept grass cuttings and branches. He inquired what option would

be offered. Mr. Schweizer stated they are considering building a demoli-
tion landfill. It would require less monitoring.
4. Jerry Block, owner of four-plex on Dale Street, asked how the billing was
determined and if there was a basic charge by the City. He felt the rate
was too high for his building considering the small amount of garbage that
was picked up.
Administrator Plotz explained the billing system to Mr. Block.
In closing, Mayor Ackland stated that as a whole the customers within the com-
munity are satisfied with the services provided by Junker Sanitation.
A motion was made by Alderman Carls to close the Board of Review meeting at 5:00
P.M. Motion seconded by Alderman Mlinar and unanimously carried.
