RUBBISH REMOVAL, REPORT OF COMMITTEE. City Manager Rolison submitted a report having met with Mr. Arata of the San Mateo Garbage Company for the purpose of discussing the matter of providing for rubbish removal from the' residential area. It was their opinion that this service could best be performed under the existing garbage contract by the adoption of a flat monthly charge of fifty cents per month, weekly removal not to exceed one hundred pounds, or the capacity of a 30 gallon garbage can. In the event that removal of rubbish would be required in quantities in excess of the facil- ities provided by the Garbage Collector, the City would provide such service at a minimum charge of 01.50 per pick-up, or $5.00 per hour for two men and one truck. If the Council desired to improve the present sefice, it was recommended that Ordi- nance No. 339 be amended to include a special provision for rubbish removal. Coun- Royer moved that City Attorney Currie be authorized to prepare amendment to Ordinance providing rubbish removal service as submitted by the City Manager, seconded by Councilman Jones, and carried. THE TRAFFIC FACT FINDING C011AITTEE RECOMMENDED A STOP SIGN ON OADWOOD DRIVE stopping traffic approaching Oadwood Boulevard. As stop signs had been established a number of times recently necessitating publication expense because it was necessary to adopt an ordinance, although this was approved on motion of Councilman Morgan, seconded by Councilman Jones and carried, it was carried on the agenda for two weeks until more than one could be published at the same time or until an amendment was adopted to the ordinance whereby stop signs could be established by resolution thus eliminating Publication cost. Under the•present Charter and ordinances it was necessary to adopt an ordinance to establish stop signs.
