ACED ON TAX ROLLS - ORDINANCE NO. 974 The staff report and recommendation were presented by the Finance Director as contained in the inter-rom dated July I, 1986, prepared by the Finance Oepartment. CITY COUNCIL, MINUTES Page 2, 7-7-86 The Finance Director and City Manager responded ~o Council that whether the fee would qualify as a tax deduction is a grey area and would best be answered by the IRS. The Mayor suggested the fee be called a solid waste collection tax. In response to Councilman Edgar, the Finance Director stated that the proposed effective data is Sept~er 1, 1986. Mayor Saltarellt opened the public hearing at 7:22 p.m. Jam Wilmoth, no address given, spoke in opposition to placing solid waste collection fees on the property tax rolls. Ken Thompson, President of Laurelwoed Homeowners' Association, spoke in favor of placing solid waste collection fees on the prop- arty tax rolls. Rick Order, 13301 Charloma Drive, spoke in opposition to the matter. Joan Collins, 14155 Via Posada, stated the City should revert back to paying for solid waste collection services. The following persons spoke in opposition to the mmtter: Ruth Kelley, 17505 Via Calma Ooolee Elltott, Yorba Street Richard Vtntng, 400 West Main Street There being no other speakers on t~e matter, the public hearing was closed at 7:47 p.m. In response to speakers' comments, the City Manager stated that individual hauling of trash is in violation of City ordinance. Public health requires that trash pickup be regulated through a franchise agreement with removal at least once per week. Leaving the matter status quo will result in an increase to residents of $1.Z$ per month more than what is proposed. The method of payment for trash collection will not affect the deliver~ of service. This .method of payment does not violate Proposition 13. The Supreme Court has ruled that user fees' can be enacted. Proposition 4 pro- hibits charging a fee greater than the actual cost of providing the service. A question-and-answer period followed. It was then moved by Edgart seconded by Hoemterey, to take appro- priate action as determined by the City Attorney to approve the placement of solid waste collection fees on the property tax rolls at the proposed amount of $64.20 per unit to a maximum of three units.. Councilman Kelly suggested the City pay for solid waste collection services from the General Fund to refund Tustln taxpayers for the two years that individual billing has been effective. After that two-year period, he suggested it revert back to the present system. After further Council comments, the motion carried 4-1, Kelly opposed. 97 The City Manager interjected that an ordinance is required on the matter, and first reading and introduction of same would be appro- priate. The City Attorney distributed subject ordinance. Council went on to consider the next item to allow review of the ordinance.

He expressed willingness to share the cost to improve and maintain the quality of life, including roads. He hoped there would be some arrangement with Orange and Villa Park where they would also take a certain amount of impact from the cur- rent EIS to widen the I-5. Mr. Swan spoke in favor of Freeway Con- hector Alternative 2A (Santiago Creek) which he felt was prema- turely eliminated, should have been studied further, and should have been routed around Orange Park Acres so as to minimize commu- nity environmental impacts.
