A RESOLUTION
BY MR. EPLEY NO 1862
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY-INTERMUNICIPAL WASTE SERVICES AGREEMENT.

A copy of the resolution, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.

Mr. Epley explained that along with all other cities in Montgomery County, Oakwood is a member community of the Montgomery County Solid Waste District and contracts with the District to receive the refuse collected. Oakwood's current contract with the District dates back to 1985 and is due to be updated.

Over the past year, member communities and the District have worked together to develop a new agreement for processing and disposing of solid waste in Montgomery County, which is now before City Council for approval. We believe that the new agreement serves the best interests of the city, and this resolution will authorize the City Manager to sign it.

Thereupon, it was moved by Mr. Epley and seconded by Mrs. Hilton that the resolution be passed.

Chief Hill began his presentation by reporting that each school year, the Safety Department continues to emphasize the enforcement of parking violations along Irving Avenue in an effort to control violators of the time restricted parking areas. During the period of January – May, the Safety Department issued 145 parking citations along Irving Avenue. Historically, the last month of each school year is when the most citizen complaints are received. During the month of April, emphasis was placed on consistent daily enforcement along Irving Avenue. There were no major concerns reported and zero citizen complaints received. As the new school year approaches, this area will be again monitored for violations.
