TRASH SERVICES - REQUEST TO BID: In a letter dated August 6, 1985, S & M Trash Service requested the Town bid the trash removal contract for the next twelve-month period. A-1 Trash Service was awarded the one-year contract which began August 1, 1984. The Committee recommends rebidding the contract for a two-year contract beginning the contract period in November. STANLEY PARK COMPOST OPERATION, PAVING - DISCUSSION: The Committee discussed paving a 100' x 200' area for the compost operation in Stanley Park. The compost operation will be benefi- cial to both the Public Works Department and Stanley Park. An estimated cost to pave the area is $12,000; the paved area will eventually become a portion of the parking lot should the Master Plan for Stanley Park be implemented. The Committee was advised staff will prepare a "fact sheet" concerning the compost opera- tion and present it to the Stanley Park Committee August 26, 1985.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee - August 12, 1985 - Page two maps of the north of Section 2. The area in question would include the proposed site of the Mary's Lake Water Treatment Plant.

REPORTS: During its one-year operation, the Transfer Station has processed 51,566 cubic yards of trash. The estimated figure was 40,000 cubic yards. In April, A-1 Trash renegotiated their contract with Larimer County resulting in a decrease from $4.65/cubic yard to $3.93/cubic yard. The Town has not received customer com- plaints during the year and the operation is running smoothly. Public Works Director Widmer informed the Committee that follow- ing review of data supplied by the firm preparing the Prospect Mountain Drainage Master Plan, the firm was instructed to design the Plan for a 10-year storm. In considering the small difference in cost between the 5-year and 10-year storm, it was determined the 10-year storm design would be most beneficial to the Town. A detailed plan which includes layout and phasing will be the next step in preparing the master plan. The IBM personal computer, authorized January 15, 1985 has been received. The area used for playing "hacky sack" located in Bond Park has been restored by the Parks Division. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
