Ma~. Stewar~ explained that there is a health problem involved, and all garbage must be picked up.

Stated that other utilities such as phone, electricity, etc., can discontinue service if bills are not paid. Mr. Lince stated they objected to the lien process because Landlords would be responsible for their tenant's bills.

F~die Bjork spoke in opposition to the o~llnance. Stated that this ordinance would leave the land- lord resoonsible fop anV GarbaKe bills not paid by renters. Stated there is a law stating every- one must have garbage, and this law should be enforced. Mr. Stewart stated that this would make the landlord responsible, and this is necessary to allev- iate the health problem. Stated someone has to be respansible or bills ~ not always paid. Mr. Lince suggested the City look i~to some other method to insure collection of garbage bills. Mr. Lince stated that some housing projects use dumpsters on each block and parhaDs this would be a solution. C~missioner Sehoneman stated that dumDsters a~e fine for housinE pro~eets; however, would not be successful in a residential area where homes are individually owned. Stated there would be ques- tions as to where the dumpste~ would be located, etc. Mr. Stewa~-t stated he favored a billlnK, system similar to that of Seattle; that Earbage bills are sent out with the water bills axid if the Ear,age bill isn't paid, water is turned off.
