AMENDMENTS/BUS. DEVEL. AGREEMENT/MIZE IMPORT. 1501, 1509, 1533 & 1585 RIVER RD.:

Alderman Becker stated that on June 3, 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution R-66-02 authorizing a Business Development Agreement between the City and Mize Import Group, Inc., and on September 16, 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution R-92-02 which approved an amendment to the Business Development Agreement; Mize Import Group is now requesting a second amendment to that agreement.

Alderman Becker reviewed the various amendments that Staff is recommending, i.e. the ability of the City to terminate the Agreement in the event of Mize Import Group’s voluntary liquidation of business or assignment to a person or entity not authorized by the City Council, the inclusion of other franchises on the current site that are not reflected in the Agreement.

Moved by Sayad, seconded by Brookman, to concur with Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council that Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute "Second Amended Business Development Agreement" with Mize Import Group, Inc., 1501, 1509, 1533 and 1585 River Road; and Resolution R-14-07 be adopted at appropriate time this evening. Motion declared carried.

PUBLIC WORKS - Alderman Smith, Chair

BID AWARD/SOLID WASTE CONTRACT:

Alderman Smith stated that the current solid waste contract for single-family with optional multi-family homes will expire on March 31, 2007; on October 2, 2006, the City Council approved going to an automated program consisting of 35-, 65- and 95-gallon carts and authorized Staff to advertise for bids; bids were opened on December 1, 2006; Staff is recommending that the bid be awarded to the lowest bidder, ARC Disposal Company, Inc., for a seven (7)-year contract with three (3) one (1)-year extensions.

City’s Environmental Services Coordinator, Christine Wolski-Bajor, and Richard Bulthuis, representing Arc Disposal Company, Inc., addressed the Committee of the Whole and answered questions from the aldermen.

A majority of the aldermen expressed their support of this bid award; maybe this is not the best system for everyone, but it will be for the majority of the residents; this is progress; it will beautify our City.

Alderman Brookman stated that she will be voting no; the residents seem very happy with the current system; she has had no complaints or outcry for a change; we should have gone out for bid for the current system also so we could compare the costs; she would like to see all the bids rejected and the City go out for bid on the current system.

Motion by Alderman Brookman to recommend to the City Council that the City reject all bids for the automated program and go out for bid for both the current system and the automated program DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.

Mr. John Milstead, 2515 Church Street, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating his concern that pickup would be done from both sides of the trucks. Mr. Bulthuis said no, just one side of the trucks are open for pickup.

Mr. Walt Dibbern, 1421 Oakwood Avenue, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that there should not be an increase in cost since ARC Disposal will be saving money with this new program; how much more is ARC Disposal making with this new system?; the old system is doing fine; he has no complaints.

Mrs. Phyllis Felts, 1010 Jeannette Street, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that she doesn’t believe this program will meet her needs; the carts won’t fit in her garage; she doesn’t think she can handle these carts; we are going to have to pay extra for something that doesn’t meet our needs.

Mr. John Macauley, 1663 Algonquin Road, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating there is going to be a problem with this program for residents on Algonquin Road; he strongly suggests that the City go out for bids for the current system and see what the real cost will be.

Mrs. Pat McDonough, 1970 Everett Avenue, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that there is going to be a problem when it snows; then what will we do?; how will we get the carts over the snow?

ARC Disposal’s Route Supervisor for Des Plaines, Ken Klein, addressed the Committee of the Whole and answered questions from the aldermen and the public.

Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that he would like to see the City Council hold off on this and go out for bids for the current system too; then we can compare "apples to apples." Mr. Burkross read a letter from a resident of the 6th Ward requesting that the contract be rebid and the matter be deferred. Mr. Burkross also stated his concern about snow and ice; perhaps this program could be done on a trial basis to see if it will work out; or put it on a referendum asking the residents if they want this new system.

Mr. Dion Kendrick, 943 Webster Lane, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that he thinks this is a good deal; he thinks this program is wonderful; the cost is in line with what other companies would charge.

Mrs. Kathy Krus, 888 Mason Lane, addressed the Committee of the Whole asking what the other companies bid. Environmental Services Coordinator Wolski-Bajor read the bid recap.

Mrs. Jo Dibbern, 1421 Oakwood Avenue, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that she and her husband have health problems and would find it difficult to handle the 95-gallon cart; why can’t we get three (3) smaller carts instead of one (1) big one for the same price. Mr. Bulthuis said because the cost of three (3) small carts is more than the cost for the 95-gallon cart; try the larger one for a month or so; he thinks it will work out. Mrs. Dibbern also asked why the garbage can’t be picked up in the alley where we keep the garbage. Mr. Bulthuis said this is a logistic problem that has to be worked on with the Public Works Department; he doesn’t know if it is even feasible.

Mr. Sam Seranella, 1985 Busse Highway, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating there is going to be a problem when it snows; he won’t be able to pull the carts out of his garage; he is dead set against this.

Moved by Sayad, seconded by Becker, to concur with Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council that Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute contract with ARC Disposal Company, Inc., 2101 S. Busse Road, Mt. Prospect, IL 60056, for a seven (7)-year contract with three (3) one (1)-year extension options to provide unlimited refuse, recycling and yard waste collections, leaf hauling and disposal, and appliance and bulk pickups, beginning April 1, 2007 and ending March 31, 2014, in the bid amounts as follows:
