CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT
City Administrator Staven said a full inventory with a detailed plan of what the computer needs of the
City will be for the Year 2000 is in near completion.
Mr. Staven also reported that the contract with Waste Management allows for annual rate increases based
on inflation. The 1999 rates have increased by 1.5 percent. The contract also allows the City to establish
two recycling centers in the City limits. The demand for mixed paper is so low the local recycling
company charges a handling fee of twenty dollars a ton for processing this commodity.
