VOL. 61
NO. 13
A special meeting of the City Council of the City of Janesville held in the Municipal Building
on August 9, 2010. The meeting was called to order by Council President Voskuil at 5:00
PM.
Present: Council President Voskuil, Councilmembers Brunner, McDonald, Perrotto,

OLD BUSINESS
Review solid waste tools and strategies and discuss future solid waste approaches. John
Whitcomb reviewed several strategies with the Council including: trash collection user
fees, single stream collection of recyclables, residency verification system, every other
week trash collection and strategies to decrease the amount of waste accepted at the
landfill. By majority consensus, the Council agreed to a user fee to recover costs, to not
implement single stream collection of recyclables because of the cost, to require better
validation of residency and possibly require a sticker to use the landfill, to not implement
every other week trash collection and to develop strategies to decrease the amount of
waste accepted at the landfill.
City Manager Levitt stated that an ordinance would be drafted to implement Council’s
direction on solid waste collection. In addition, he would have a sticker system to use the
landfill evaluated. No further action was taken.

Councilmember Steeber moved to adjourn, seconded by Councilmember McDonald and
passed unanimously.
There being no further business, Council adjourned at 6:24 PM.
