AGENDA ITEM 5: Consider authorizing the sale of white goods through the BVSWMA
White Goods Recycling Program.
Mr. Conner made a motion to approve the sale of white goods with the following
condition:
Staff will establish the rate structure and provide it to the Board. Furthermore, if
staff finds it necessary to raise or lower the rate structure they may do so by
notification to the Board.
Mr. Noe seconded the motion.
During the discussion, Mr. Conduff asked if the $2,000 sales price would offset the cost
N of the rating program, cash collection, receipt issuance, etc.?
Mr. Angelo indicated that the additional sales should offset the costs because we are
already handling cash on a daily basis at the landfill.
Mr. Conner also pointed out that by authorizing the sale of the white goods, BVSWMA
would be providing a service to certain individuals who might not otherwise be able to
afford the units.
Mr. Noe asked Mr. Angelo if he had considered selling the units through an auction
house.
Mr. Angelo indicated that our receipt of the individual units was very sporadic.
Therefore, selling them through an auction house process would not be practical. He
further stated that selling them through the White Goods Program would allow
BVSWMA to be rid of the units as necessary.
Mayor Stabler asked what policy was in place for customers who were dissatisfied
with their purchases.
Mr. Angelo stated his belief that the majority of the units are going to go to used
appliance dealers who plan to repair the units and resell them. He further stated that he
did not anticipate any problems.
Mr. Noe requested that staff add a proviso that BVSWMA reserves the right to refuse to
sell to anyone who has been charged with a violation of a City ordinance
The Board unanimously approved the motion with the above conditions.

BVSWMA delay turning over bills to the Collection Agency until not less than 15
days after the third notice is sent.

All customers will be notified of these changes in writing by BVSWMA. These changes
will be effective October 1, 1996.
