Kasten, David L'unbaugh, Doug Richards, A1 Spradling III, and Mary Wulfers present.
Prior to the regular session, council convened in Fa�ecutive Session for purposes of

and the following vote: Ayes, Gateley, Kasten, Limbaugh, Rhodes, Richards, Spradling,

Gateley, Kasten, Limbaugh, Rhodes, Richards, Spradling, Wulfers. Nays, none.
The agenda was adopted as distributed to the Council upon Mr. Gateley's motion, Mr.
Spradling's second, and the following vote: Ayes, Gateley, Kasten, Limbaugh, Rhodes,

This being the date set for a public hearing regarding the request of Le�ngton Place,
Inc. to rezone a tract of land on the east side of Lexington Avenue, west of Belleridge
Subdivision, from R-1, single family residential district, to R-3, two family residential
district, the hearing was opened. Mr. Keith Deimund appeared before the Council to
explain the request. Approximately 26 lots in the subdivision are adjacent to existing
duplex units and/or commercial property, and he is requesting this area be zoned R-3.
An easement is dedicated in the subdivision for the extension of Magnolia Street, but the
subdivision does not connect with Flad Avenue. There is a one foot strip of land
between the right-of-way for Flad Avenue and the boundary of the subdivision. He does
not wish to develop Flad Avenue as it would be too expensive partially due to the fact
that there are no water or sewer connections on Flad Avenue. Mr. Richards inquired as
to who owns the one foot strip of land. Kent Bratton, City Planner, responded that it
belongs to the unknown heirs of the developer of the subdivision. Mr. Gateley expressed
concerns that Flad Avenue may become an unmaintained alley if it is not developed.
Mr. Ray Miller appeared before the Council. He stated that he has owned a lot on Flad
Avenue for approximately 32 years and expressed his concerns that if this subdivision
is developed as planned. The front of a house on Flad would face the rear yard of the
house in the new subdivision. There being no further appearances, the hearing was
closed.
This being the date set for a public hearing regarding the request of Clarence Suedekum,
Jr. that the city vacate its interest in a five foot utility easement located between Lots 7

and 8 in Block 1 of Oliver Heights Subdivision, the hearing was opened. There being
no appearances, the hearing was closed.
Ms. Brenda Dohogne appeared before the Council and submitted a proposal on
alternatives to raising trash collection fees. A copy of the proposal is attached hereto and
made a part of these minutes (Exhibit A).
Mayor Rhodes stated he had received several calls regarding how the city assesses
delinquent charges on utility bills. He requested the city staff review the procedure and
report back to the City Council.
Mr. Chad Craft appeared before the Council and inquired as to why the motion made
by Mr. Richards at the January 3, 1994, City Council meeting regarding putting out the
city solid waste service for private bids was defeated by a three to three vote.
Mr. L'unbaugh responded that he was not at the January 3 City Council meeting, but
would be in favor of privatization if there was a free market industry in Cape Girardeau.
In addition, consideration must be given to how much it would cost the city to disinvest
in capital equipment and how much it would cost to reinvest in solid waste services if it
were necessary.
Mr. Spradling responded that he is opposed to privatization of the solid waste service
because it is an essential city service. It would not be advantageous to disinvest in
equipment and employees. If the private company would choose not to service the city
at some point in time, the city would be forced to reinvest, which would be very
expensive. The city should provide the service but could cut down on some of the
services offered.
Ms. Wulfers explained that when she was appointed to the City Council, she felt the city
should allow other companies to serve residential solid waste customers. If there were
two competing haulers, economies of scale would hold. Now she feels it would be better
for one operator to serve the entire city, whether it be a private hauler or the city. In
addition, all state and federal regulations are the responsibility of the city, even if the
solid waste service is handled by a private hauler.
Mr. Craft stated he felt it would be best to see what a private hauler would charge for
solid waste hauling and compare it to the city fee. On behalf of Raymond Cole, he
presented to the Council a petition requesting that the City Council publicly consider bids
by private trash disposal companies for service to individual homes in the city. A copy
of the petition is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes (Exhibit B). In
addition, he submitted a separate petition requesting that the Council reconsider the
motion made by Doug Richards concerning the solicitation of bids for trash pick-up
services. A copy of the petition is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes
(E�chibit C).

Mr. Richards questioned why businesses have the choice of solid waste haulers when
residents do not. He stated that the rates for commercial accounts have not gone up
compared to residential rates because of competition. If the residential solid waste
service is put out for bid, possibly four to six bids would be received Mr. Richards said.
If bids are not solicited, he questioned what the city would need to do to give citizens
the right to choose their solid waste hauler.
Mr. Fischer stated that the present solid waste ordinance would have to be amended.
Prior to 1989, 90 percent of commercial business were being serviced by the city. At
that time, BFT wanted to open a commercial route in Cape, and the ordinances did not
prohibit that. The commercial fees are set to cover the city's expenses, and the city is
keeping the private haulers competitive.
Mr. Gateley made a motion, seconded by Mayor Rhodes, that the City grant the request
of the petitioners and that the city staff prepare a request for proposal for privatization
of the city residential solid waste service.
Mayor Rhodes read a letter he received from BFI Waste Systems regarding residential
solid waste services in the city. A copy of the letter is attached hereto and made a part
of these minutes (E�ibit D).
Ms. Wulfers made an amending motion, seconded by Mr. Limbaugh, that the residential
solid waste service be put out for bid under the condition that the city not give up its
capital investment in the solid waste services. She explained that it could be run in a
sunilar fashion as the water service, whereby the city would own the equipment, and the
private company would use the equipment, hire the personnel, etc. After further
discussion, the amending motion was defeated upon the following role call vote:
Gateley, nay; Kasten, nay; Limbaugh, nay; Rhodes, nay; Richards, nay; Spradling, nay;
Wulfers, aye.
Mr. Gateley's motion was approved upon the following roll call vote: Kasten, aye;
L'unbaugh, aye; Rhodes, aye; Richards, aye; Spradling, aye; Wulfers, aye; Gateley, aye.
Mr. Calvin Break, 1511 Howell, appeared before the City Council regarding a sewer
problem that he has had at his residence for 31 years. Over the last 31 years, he had
been promised by various city officials that the problem would be alleviated. However,
to date the problem has not been resolved, and he has put in a backwater valve to prevent
storm water from entering his basement. He requested the city take some action to
resolve this problem. Mr. Doug Leslie, Assistant City Manager, stated that a relief
sewer line will be constructed as part of the Walker Branch flood control project, which
will help alleviate the problems on Howell, Clark and Marietta Streets. Mayor Rhodes
requested that the city staff look into this matter and report back to the City Council and
to Mr. Break.

Mr. Gateley requested that the city staff lay out a master schedule for issues pending
before the City Council, including riverboat gambling proposals, minimum property
standards, public housing/housing authority, annual city budget, and solid waste issues.
It was the consensus of the Council that discussion of public housing issues should be
placed on the February 23 agenda. Regarding the budget, the capital budget will be
ready for review in March, and the annual operating budget will be available for review
in May. City staff will report back to the Council at the February 7 meeting on the
minunum property standards.
A motion was made by Dr. Kasten, seconded by Ms. Wulfers, that the Boyd Gaming
Group and Lady Luck Gaming Corporation give a 30 minute presentation to the Council
at their February 7 study session regarding the proposals they submitted for riverboat
gaming in Cape Girardeau. The motion was approved upon the following vote: Ayes,
Gateley, Kasten, Limbaugh, Rhodes, Richards, Spradling, Wulfers. Nays, none.
Mr. Leslie publicly thanked all city employees for the exemplary work they did during
the recent snow storms. Many employees worked long hours in hazardous conditions,
and they did an excellent job making the city safe for all citizens. Mayor Rhodes made
a motion, seconded by Dr. Kasten, that a resolution be proposed to thank all city
employees for their dedication during the recent snow storms. The motion was approved
upon the following vote: Ayes, Gateley, Kasten, Limbaugh, Rhodes, Richards,
Spradling, Wulfers. Nays, none.

ALTERNATIVES TO TRASH FEE InTCREASES : III
� �
-� I�Iany of us agree that volume-based billing is the method
of billing that the City of Cape should employ in the future.
The Solid Waste Task Force is sug�esting that, if we switch
to volume-based billing, the base rate should be $10 monthly
with a limit of one bag per week. Each additional bag will
cost $1,
The purpose of the base rate is to cover the fixed expenses
of the Sanitation Department. . Therefore , this base rate can
only be reduced if services are reduced in kind. However, it
does not appear that the Solid 1�iaste Task Force , in studying
the City Council's January 3rd motion, gave serious considera-
tion to reducing services. Why does the Task Force think that
it is not economically feasible to reduce recyclable collections
to once a month� rather than collecting it weekly? Why not make
leaf collection a special service for which the customer pays if
he uses it? In turn. expand the hours for burning leaves in the
fall from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. to 9: 00 a.m.-6 :00 p.m.
An article entitled "Volume-Based Rates, Dream or Nightmare?"
in the November, 1990 � issue of Rec.yclin� Today discusses the pros
and cons of volume-based billing. Bill Paul of Waste Systems , Inc. ,
in Albert Lea� h7innesota� had positive things to say about it when
( 1)
Exhibit A
� 368
he was interviewed by the author of this article.. Consequently,
I called him to ask about the services he offers and the rates
he charges. Waste Systems currently services approximately
12,000 homes in 14 counties. His company charges no base fee. � �
- a �
Customers pay only for the 30 gallon, orange bags , which r nge �
in price from $1.50-$1.75/each with tax. Garbage is collected
once a week, and recyclables are collected once a month. " Gen-
erally speaking� market prices no longer support recycling.
Therefore , a monthly fee ranging from $1.25-$1.75 is charged
for curbside recyclin�. The fees for trash collection and� curb-
side recyclin� are affec�ed by the proximity of the landfill or
recycling center to the town being serviced. In the towns which
are serviced by Waste Systems , spring clean-up, special pick ups �
and leaf collections are offered. They are paid for by the ci�y
or customer, depending on the terms of the contract between Waste
Systems and that particular town. These rates are considerably
lower than those being proposed by our Solid Waste Task Force .
I would encourage the Task Force and/or the City Council to con-
tact Bill Paul at Waste Systems. His address and phone number
are : Waste Systems � Inc. , ATTnT: Bill Paul� 2110 Consul Street,
Albert Lea, MN 56007 , 1-800-222-6214, 1-5�7-373-7066.
Ivo single billing method or company or municipality offering
trash collection service is flawless. There is always room for 6 �
l
change and/or improvement. During the past three council meetings, �
examples have been cited to the City Council of private trash
collection companies which offer similar services to their customers
�2)
Exhibit A
369
for less than the citizens of Cape are currently paying. The
City Council owes it to the citizens of Cape to at least review
the services and fees of private trash collection companies who
would be interested in serving the City of Cape. �
� � There also appears to be a discrepancy between Cape Girardeau's
code for assessing late fees on payment of trash bills and the
manner in which they are assessed on the monthly bill m�iled to
each customer. Cape Girardeau Code, 5ection 22-48b, states:
"Al1 bills issued under this article shall be due
and payable within ten ( 10) days of mailing thereof;= -
those accounts not paid in accordance therewith sha11
be deemed delinquent. All accounts which have been
delinquent for twent -one (21) days or longer shall
be charged a ten ( 10� percent penalty. The date of
penalty and the amount thereof shall be shown on the
face of the bill. "
Un the bills sent to customers . however� this 10� penalty is
effective on the day following the due date. In order to bring
the billing into compliance with Code Section 22-48b. a 21-day -
grace period should be given the customer before a penalty is
assessed against his account. Hopefully, the City Council will
take the necessary steps to promptly correct this discrepancy.
Respectfully submitted,
Brenda Dohogne

We, the undersigned, strongly urge the city council members
of Cape Girardeau to reconsider the amendment to the motion made
by councilman Doug Richards concerning the solicitation of bids
for trash pick-up services. The undersigned do further wish to
express their regret for not appearing personally before the
council due to prior engagements and foul weather, and ask that
our lack of attendance not be mistaken for apathy to this issue.
Further, we would like to state that this is not presented as a
� petition, but rather as a absentee show of support in favor of
the amendment. Your consideration to this matter is appreciated.

Honorable Mayor
Gene Rhodes
2009 Perryville Rd. -
Cape Girardeau, MO 63701
Dear Mayor:
Thank you for your valuable time. Residential waste collection is
one of the most basic, and one of the most important, services the
City of Cape Girardeau can provide . Residents expect this
necessary service to be timely, efficient and cost effective. That
is why an increasing number of communities are turning to BFI to
provide waste collection service . We currently serve over 6 . 1
million households for waste removal and 2 . 5 million homes for
curbside recycling.
Mayor, as was stated at the last city council meeting on January 3 ,
1994 , Browning-Ferris Industries is one of the world' s largest
waste service firms, with more than 25 years' experience, and we
are a publicly traded, $3 billion a year company.
BFI now provides waste collection services through approximately
600 operating locations throughout the United States, Canada, and
Puerto Rico, as well as Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, South
America, The Netherlands, Spain, The United King and Venezuela.
Today, the company employs over 26, 000 people, utilizes
approximately 8, 500 collection vehicles, and owns or manages over
100 sanitary landfills . BFI is headquartered in Houston, . Texas.
Mayor, BFI is servicing numerous commercial businesses within the
City of Cape Girardeau. This provides all commercial businesses an
opportunity to choose a fair and competitive rate on waste removal .
Such a program could be offered to the residents of Cape Girardeau.
BFI would like to offer waste removal service by subscription to
the citizens of Cape Girardeau. Such service could be as extensive
as recycling. Prices would be determined after careful
evaluations . These prices could range between $6 . 50 and $9 . 00 per
` household.
