i:1 DEC 2 1936 BOOK 6`6 FD E 5 7 2 Sanitation because his company does not even go into those particular areas. Attorney Jackson continued to discuss the problem with " commercial picking up early and then moving right into the residential areas, but Mrs. Abernethy noted that the point of coming before the Board is not the commercial issue. The point is that the Utilities Department has had solid residential areas complain, and the Utility Department even had the County Attorney send Rural Sanitation a letter telling them they were jeopardizing their franchise. Attorney Jackson stated that he had never seen that letter, and Attorney Vitunac felt if the company didn't forward the letter to Attorney Jackson, that is their problem. Commissioner Eggert inquired if Attorney Vitunac's letter was sent,by certified mail, and Mrs. Abernethy stated that she sent a certified letter, but did not know if the Attorney's letter was certified. Utilities Director Pinto informed the Board that his department has talked to Rural Sanitation several times, and he did not care if we have a public hearing or not, but something must be done. The commercial pickup is an issue also. Director Pinto felt 6:00 A.M. should be the earliest time for pickup anywhere in the county, and if it takes more trucks or more personnel, that is what they will have to do. The Board indicated they would have a public hearing to change the hours as indicated by Utilities staff, and in between that time, indicated that if Rural Sanitation does not cease to pick up in violation of the hours set by the ordinance, they will give serious consideration to invalidating their franchise. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously authorized staff to draw up an ordinance as discussed. 48
