HOZZA Conncilman Feb ruary 19, 19 76 TO: Ma.yor Lawrence D. Cohen and Members of the City Cou i FROM: David H. Hozza 1 Council President ; RE: Pending Solid Waste Ordinan e Referendum Attached for your consideration is an ordinance which would repeal the solid waste collection ordinance passed by the City Council in October of 1974. As you know, this is the ordinance that a peti- tion for referendum was successfully filed. The reasons that I am requesting the repeal of the ordinance are: 1) I am advised by members of the administration that there is no possible waq that adequate information could be developed for the April general election, much less the March prima.ry. Substantial questions as to what the service would cost the homeowner, how it would be paid, what the interim financing would be, what the contracts with the �rivate haulers would be, etc. , remain to be answered. 2) Adequate investigation of alternative methods of billing other than assessments has not taken place. It is my feeling that a less cumbersome method of bill:ing than assessments can be found. 3) The recent experiences of New York City and In- dependent School District No. 625 here in St. Paul have indicated bonding and/or borrowing for operat- . ing expenses is not a fiscally sound practice. The ordinance as it is now structured does exactly that; up to 18 months of borrowing would be required to start the system out and after that up to 12 months of borrowing would be consistently required to keep the system operating. This may jeopardize seriously the city's good credit rating; consequently, it is my feeling that the only fiscally responsible course of action is to find a method of financing that does not require such substantial front-end borrowing.

Cohen and Members of the City Council --2 This ordinance will receive first reading Tuesday, February 24. I will ask that the ordinance not be referred to committee, but rather be discussed in Council, in order to facilitate consideration before the March primary. It is my feeling that the City Council has re- sponsibility to the voters to eventually put any solid waste ordinance up for a referendum, but I think that the Council must answer the above questions before such a referendum can be held. Therefore, if this oxdinance repealing the solid waste ordinance is successful, I would ask that the City Council designate the appropriate committee to begin work immediately on a new ordinance which could be put up for a vote of the geople at the earliest possible date. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to talk to me.
