Road. Services to be provided to the residents are police and fire protection, solid waste
services, and all parks and recreation facilities will be available for use by the residents.
Gas and electric services will be provided by Union Electric as they are currently. These
services will be available immediately upon completion of the annexation. The existing
streets will also be accepted for maintenance by the City. The City is proposing to
extend an 8" water line from Hopper Road 5000 feet west to serve the subdivision, and
a sewer trunk line will be extended north from Route K which will require a lift station
at Route K with a force main down Route K to the east into a gravity line connecting
with the e�sting trunk sewer at Siemers Drive. Within T�vin Lakes a new water system
with 6" lines will be constructed with the cost assessed to the property owners. The
lateral sewer lines to serve individual properties will also be constructed in the same
manner. It is planned that the water and sewer services will be available within 24 to
30 months of completion of the annexation. Assessment rates on property are set by the
County Assessor at 32 percent for commercial, 19 percent for residential and 12 percent
for agricultural of fair market value. There will be no change in assessment rates. The
current City tax rates of 45 cents per $100 valuation will apply to the residents in this
area. The proposed zoning is R-1, single family residential. The effective date of the
annexation will be immediately upon successful conclusion of the required election

Mr. Calvin Chapman, Chaiiman of the Solid Waste Task Force, appeared before the
Council to report on the fmdings of the Task Force regarding solid waste service in the
City of Cape Girardeau. A copy of the information presented is attached hereto and
made a part of these minutes (Exhibit A). He stated that changes in solid waste disposal
have been mandated by the State through Senate Bill 530 adopted in 1990. In reviewing
case studies, it was found that many cities in Missouri are not as focused as Cape
Girardeau in meeting the mandates. The task force reviewed a large amount of literature
on solid waste (see Exhibit A). In addition, 18 percent of items disposed of in landfills
is yard waste and 40 percent of material is newspaper, which is recyclable. In studying
various issues of solid waste, volume-based pricing was found to be more acceptable by
residents because it is the method used by utility companies for billing. He concluded
by commending the City staff for the research they have already completed to prepare
the City for volume-based pricing.
Ms. Sarah Holt, a member of the Solid Waste Task Force, appeared before the council
to present the summary and recommendations of the Task Force. The charge of the
committee was to assess the possibility of volume-based pricing for solid waste services
in the City of Cape Girardeau. When the committee was formed, the members had a
preconceived notion they were paying too much for solid waste services. However, as
information was reviewed, they found that the average household in Cape Girardeau
consists of one to three persons, and the current pricing structure is already set for that
size of household. The task force realized that their goal had to be that the City trash
service had to generate enough revenue to maintain a self-sufficient operation.
Therefore, they came up with the following recommendations:
1. Base Rate of$10.54 per month for three bags or containers of trash and unlimited
recycling each week.
2. Pay additional charge of$2.00 per bag in excess of three and strictly enforce the
three bag limit as soon as possible after January 1, 1993. This was recommended
so that when costs far recycling increase in the future, the City may not have to
420
Proceedings of the City Council, City of Cape Girardeau, Mo.
Regular $ession December 7 �9 92
SLI.9975
raise the fee for the service but rather would cut back on volume and increase
recycling.
3. Specify services offered by the City, such as the spring and fall cleanup, special
event trash service, Wednesday special pickups, leaf collection program, extra
containers at the recycling center, lugger service, Christmas tree collection, and
curbside recycling. By specifying the services, residents will understand that the
monthly service fee applies to all these services in addition to solid waste pickup
each week.
4. City continue to operate the solid waste service and not bid it out to a private
hauler. The task force concluded that the City is operating a cost effective and
efficient service.
5. Specify commercial services and charges. Residents need tree trimming/yard
waste services at certain times of the year, and the City should look into
performing these types of services for a fee.
6. Provide city-wide education, including a video of the current solid waste system.
This would be used in presentations to civic and community organizations.
� 7. City review upcoming issues regarding household hazardous waste problems and
regulations that will be implemented in January, 1994, under 5enate Bill 530 and
Subtitle D. In addition, the Task Force would like to continue their efforts and
help the City in any way possible to meet these upcoming mandates.
8. Public Works Department open the Recycling Center on Saturday momings. This
service would implemented within the next few weeks.
Ms. Wulfers questioned what the reasoning was for the Task Force to recommend that
the City continue the operation of solid waste services instead of bidding it out to a
private hauler. Ms. Holt responded that the service is a utility and should be treated as
such. The City is doing a cost effective and efficient job, and therefore there is no need
to bid it out.
Mr. Richards recalled that several Council members previously asked that it be put on
the task force to study the possibility of putting the solid waste service out for bid. It
was the recommendation of the Council at that point in time that the task force was not
to look at the possibility of putting the service out for bid. He asked whether the
committee had solicited input fmm private companies regarding privatization of solid
waste services, and if they had not, was it fair to recommend not to bid it out. Ms. Holt
responded that this was not a charge of the Task Force, but rather it was just a comment
to reflect what they saw.
Ms. Wulfers questioned whether the committee had looked at any other system to handle
extra trash other than selling special bags and how did they decide bags were the best
method. Ms. Holt responded that they reviewed bags, stickers, and various other
options, but it was not a strong opinion that bags are the only way to go. Their main
concern was on paying for more than three bags rather than what type of disposal to use.

Ms. Wulfers asked whether the city was planning to collect steel cans in the near future.
Mr. Doug Leslie, Public Works Director, responded that the City is planning to add steel
cans to the recyclables collected within the next several months. Part of this is the
addition to the recycling building for storage of these items.
Mr. Chapman requested the City Council to approve the recommendations of the Solid
Waste Task Force. Mayor Rhodes stated he did not feel he was ready to vote on it
because he wanted to study the recommendations.
Mr. Spradling made a motion, seconded by Ms. Wulfers, that a resolution be included
in the December 21, 1992, Council agenda to adopt the recommendations of the Solid
Waste Task Force. The motion was approved upon the following vote: Ayes, Gateley,
Limbaugh, Rhodes, Richards, Spradling, Wulfers. Nays, none.
Ms. Barbara Rust, President, Colonial Cape Girardeau Foundation, appeared before the
Council regarding the appointment of a task force to look at funding for the restoration
of the St. Vincent seminary. Ms. Rust made a public appeal for people to call the
Colonial Cape Girardeau Foundation at 339-1992 or the City of Cape Girardeau at 334-
1155 to volunteer to serve on the task force. The Foundation would like to have the task
force appointed at the December 21 City Council meeting and have it in place by January
of 1993. Ms. Rust requested the Council to consider the Foundation's list as well as any
others that would contribute to the task force. Ms. Wulfers stated that Board Summary
Sheets must be filled out by all those interested in serving on the committee.
Ms. Lynette Berry appeared before the Council to raise questions on solid waste issues.
She questioned who would have time to count the number of bags set out to the curb and
what residents would do if they miss their trash pickup day. She agreed that education
on recycling needs to be emphasized and stated that she will push the Southeast
Missourian to not put slick ad inserts in their newspapers. In addition, on windy days
the trash collectors do not pick up the boxes that residents put their recyclables in. She
would like to see bins provided to place recyclables in. She also expressed that one solid
waste pickup per week is not enough because the weather in this area is not cool enough
to store trash for a week at a time. She questioned why the solid waste service could not
be bid out; the residents do not want the current trash service. All the task force did was
rubber stamp what certain Council Members wanted.
Ms. Berry stated that four council members are running the City and asked for a
potential recall of Dr. Kasten, Mr. Limbaugh, Mr. Spradling, and Ms. Wulfers. Ms.
Berry requested that Warren Wells, City Attorney, explain to her in front of the public
the exact process for a recall petition so that at the next available election new Council
members can be elected. Mr. Wells responded that the process is explained in detail in
Article 8 of the City Charter, which had been supplied to her. Ms. Berry inquired that
ten percent of signatures are required for the petition and questioned exactly how many
422

.,
she would need. Mr. Wells stated that the County Clerk could tell her how many
registered voters there were at the election that the Charter refers to. She then
questioned whether any council member fell under the provision that an elected official
is not subject to recall within six months of his induction into office or during the last
six months of his term. Mr. Wells responded that no council member fell under that
category. Ms. Berry stated that she felt that the citizens of Cape Girardeau have a right
to say who is going to sit on the Council and who can be removed.
Mr. Limbaugh questioned the Solid Waste Task Force if they were contacted by any
council member in an effort to persuade them to make a certain recommendation. Ms.
Holt responded that recommendations made were independent recommendations, that the
task force had not been contacted by any Council member, and that she does not rubber
stamp anybody.
Mr. Felui Kinsley, member of the Historic Preservation Commission appeared before
the Council. He stated that the comments made by Ms. Berry were incorrect. He felt
the City Council members have done an excellent job, and the Solid Waste Task Force
did what they were assigned to do. The members of the Council should be commended
� for the job they have done.
Mr. Andre Twitty, member of the Black Nationalist Party, appeared before the Council
stating he was concerned about black Americans in the community and supported what
Ms. Berry said. He stated he had been speaking with members of the black community,
and that by January 1, 1993, they will implement a change in the community.
Mr. Richards had questions regarding the system of changing the form of City
government fmm an at large system to a zone system. He asked when the appointments
to the Charter Amendment Committee will be on the City Council Agenda. Mr. J.
Ronald Fischer, City Manager, responded that at the November 16, 1992, City Council
meeting, a motion was made that the committee be formed, and Mr. Richards made a
motion at that meeting that an additional four weeks be provided for people to submit
Board Summary Sheets. The four weeks will end on December 14, 1992. The
appoinhnents to the committee will be on the December 21, 1992, Council agenda.
Mr. Gateley stated the minutes for the November 16 meeting and the December 7 agenda
for the Cape Area Industrial Recruitment Association meeting were distributed to the
Council, and he would any answer questions they had.
Mayor Rhodes stated he had received calls from two banks in the area regarding the
bonds for the recreation theme project. He questioned whether the bonds will be put out I
for bi. Mr. Fischer responded that all the local banks had been contacted, and he is
meeting with them this week in his office to discuss and review the bonding issue. Mr.
Alvin M. Stoverink, Assistant City Manager, responded that if the bonds are handled
423

locally there are no commissions for sale of bonds. A. G. Edwards and Piper Jaffery
are investment bankers that serve as fmancial advisers under contract with the City on
bond issues and serve as underwriters on bonds. Their contract with the City is for two
years. Under the contract certain rates are set out that these companies receive for
fmancial services or take downs/commissions if they serve as underwriters on an open
market sale. The city is meeting with the bank presidents to outline how private
placement of bonds will work, to answer the bankers questions, to outline the program,
and to invite them to participate. The fee for the trustee of the bonds ranges up to
$5,000 for issuance of the bonds. In the past, Boatmen's Trust Department in St. Louis
has been used for that purpose.
