§ 4.12.020. Legislative findings.

The city council finds as follows:

(1)

That an exclusive municipal system for the collection of all residential solid waste is necessary for the preservation of the public health, welfare and safety;

(2)

That the periodic collection of solid waste from all places in the city benefits all occupants of places and premises in the city;

(3)

Unpaid fees which are more than sixty (60) days delinquent may be certified by the city treasurer and submitted to the treasurer of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, for collection in the same manner as other taxes, as provided for in the Iowa Code, Chapter 384.84. An administrative assessment fee shall be imposed as set forth in the prevailing schedule of fees at the time of certification as set forth in Section 2.08.040; and

(4)

That there is variation in the amount of solid waste produced at single-family or duplex residential locations. With the implementation of curbside recycling, such deviation does justify the limitations of quantities at such residential location by limiting the quantities produced, participation in the curbside recycling program will be enhanced.
