MINUTES OF THE STUDY SESSION
THE ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL &
THE MODERN SERVICE COMPANY
The Study Session between the City Council of the City of
Rosemead and Modern Service was called to order. by the Mayor
Tury at 6:00 p. m. on March`24th, 1981.
There was much discussion regarding the costs and handling
of the delinquent accounts and the proposed rate increases re-
quested by Modern Service for rubbish collection:
Mr. Robert Andrews, Attorney for Modern Service, spoke'at
length regarding the inflationary costs of this particular busi-
ness and that it was at the City's request that this negotiation
is taking place as the City does no longer wish to be involved
with the delinquent accounts.
Councilman Hunter suggested that these delinquent accounts
be -placed on the tax roll..
Robert Kress, City Attorney, stated that the property owner
can be billed but not the resident on the tax roll.
Mr. Andrews also stated that there is a discrepency in the
count of residential and commercial property owners.
It was suggested that two Modern Service employees and two
City employees do a count on the actual residential units and
commercial units within the City-of Rosemead.
Councilman Taylor requested copies of the 12 contracts
of the Cities listed on the survey be presented to the Council
for study (Alhambra through Temple City) and requested informa-
from these cities of how they handle their delinquent accounts
and the percentage of collection that they make, and after the
count of the number of housing in the City he would like a study
session again with a full City Council.
Councilman Imperial requested a proposal from the staff to
be presented to Modern Service.
Mayor Tury stated that he would meet with the City Manager,
City Attorney, and Mr. Griegorian and his attorney and any member
of the City Council that would like to be there one day next week
for as long as it takes,but he stated that in turn he wanted in-
put from the Council as to what they are willing to give and not
willing to give.
Councilman Taylor stated he did not feel that the information
needed to make comprehensive comments next week and he would not
be.'able to give any input until he had all the necessary information.
Mayor Tury stated that this meeting will take place within
two weeks.
