Goes To Bat
For Franchise
A long report on the garbage dis
• *sal problem m Fairbanks was
:iven to the city council Monday
■vening by City Manager Matt
■ »tankard.
Slankard said he believed that a
■ompetitive bid. but exclusive fran
■!)ise was the only way to handle
■;ie situation, since the city is not
oig enough to support more than
**>e disposal firm.
He recommended a 20 year fran
•hise to give a long-term solutiiwt
> the problem. New equipment
would have to be purchased, he
"Med, and a long term contract
would bo the best way of guaran
teeing that the contractor wasn't
it out of business one or two years
•tter purchasing it
He favored an ordinance which
ould authorize a franchised col
lector to make weekly pick-ups on
city-wide basis, but one which
would allow individuals to dump
.heir own refuse if they so wished.
The whole issue was started last
veek, when a letter from attorney
Ralph Rivers was read to the coun
1 it. stating that Louis Bianchi and
• .dwin Bellstrom desired to merge
te Fairbanks Garbage Disposal and
he City Garbage Service to deal
with the city in granting the fran
chise.
Such a corporation, according to
•tankard, once determined by com
petitive bid, would enter into a con
'•act with the city which worrld
ojell out health and sanitation reg
ulations, minimum equipment stand
' 'ds, methods and frequency of ser
uce, and a schedule of proposed
lies.
The council would have to hold
» public hearing on regulations, re
‘uce the matter to an ordinance,
■nd submit it to the voters as a
ranehise referendum for rafffica
ion.
