SEP <br />5 <br />1991 <br />BOOK <br />Cao f'Aa. b,7 <br />the <br />possibility <br />that a nursery having 2000 square feet <br />could <br />produce more waste than a nursery having 8000 square feet. A <br />smaller greenhouse operation might have more pots and debris than <br />a nursery with just outdoor plantings. Further, a nursery firm in <br />the landscaping and debris removal business would produce more <br />garbage than those that aren't. Mr. Legwen urged the Board in <br />their consideration of approval of this budget to consider the <br />actual flow stream generated. <br />Chairman Bird advised that we will continue to work with our <br />staff to make it as perfect as we can. <br />Eleanor Ebbinger of Vista Royale questioned the WGU formula <br />for condominium units. She didn't think that all condominiums are <br />the same or that the people who live in them are all senior <br />citizens. Most of the units in Vista Royale are occupied by one <br />or two people. In addition, most or all the units in Vista Royale <br />have garbage disposals. She felt that condominiums should be <br />charged less than other multi -family residences and single-family <br />residences. <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that one year ago we did a study <br />and found that single-family residences were generating more solid <br />waste than multi -family residential and increased their tonnage <br />multiplier from 1.2 to 1.6. Condominium apartments fall under the <br />multi -family residential and are charged 1.2 also. <br />Mrs. Ebbinger commented that she just likes to understand <br />these things and feels that she has learned a lot tonight. <br />Director Pinto offered to give Mrs. Ebbinger a cook's tour of <br />the solid waste disposal operation and show her where every penny <br />is spent. He gave her his card and asked her to call him and <br />arrange for an appropriate time at her convenience. Mrs. Ebbinger <br />said she would enjoy that and appreciated everyone's concern. <br />Fred Mensing of Roseland wished to see the Commission and the <br />Utilities Department eliminate the confusion about the WGU. He <br />suggested having a set amount like the ERUs, which the people seem <br />28 <br />
