Upon Roll Call it a neared the motion was unanimously carried. May 7, 1958. Honorable Mayor and City Council Caldwell Idaho Gentlemen: On May 5th at the regular meeting of the Caldwell City Council, a large delegation of apartment house owners presented their problems to the Council. After the delegation left, the Council voted to send the multiple - dwelling phase of our charge schedule back to the Sanitation Committee for re- study. Our Committee and the Council, as a whole, have always welcomed delegations or individuals to present their problems to the Council as we feet that it is the best way to promote better civic government. We, the Committee, would like to present a little background to our study and work in connection with Caldwell Sanitation Ordinance: We have made "on- the - ground" inspection of three cities and have studied a fourth by correspondence and printed material provided us. These cities were I� not picked to give the sanitation program an advantage by comparison. These �! cities were recommended to us by the Idaho Municipal League as cities having the most experience with compulsory collection, and all of them have outstanding collection operations. This ordinance has the approval of the State Leuartment of Health and is being recommended to six other cities, hio are interested in I� compulsory garbage collection, as a model. I i ,mod With our new schedule of charges, some multiple dwelling units will have a reduction in charges and many will have an increase. Caldwell's schedule of charges provides a charge of $1.25 for the first unit, and 75 cents for each additional dwelling unit, which maintains a kitchen or usual kitchen facilities. The spread between the single unit and the multiple unit is 50 cents. On this basis, we feel our charge is in line with other cities. We, the Committee, feel that the rates established by the Ordinance are fair and equit- able. As provided by the Ordinance, any owner of a multiple dwelling may appear before the Council individually and present his individual problem. The first of these meetings is set for May pith. Any adjustment made will be based upon facts and figures of the individual case, and not upon emotions and pressure. i Up until the present shhedule of charges were set uo, there has been no uniformity pertaining to multiple unit dwellings. This situation has resulted in many inequitable charges, all bsed on charges ineuistence twenty years ago. Inestablishing these rated, the Commission has taken into consideration the fact that multiple unit dwellings are a. form of commercial operation, and tbe'ratOs should be applied as such. We, the committee, have Epent many, many hours in meetings and discussions trying to provide an Ordinance that will work. We have listened to every group or individual and have spent many hours in "on- the -spot i.nsoection and study or other cities' experience and are very proud of our efforts.
