Ordinance,Multifamily Recycling Program • • <br /> Page 7 <br /> correction cards and alert multifamily building owners, managers and tenants of <br /> recurrent contamination and other program related problems. <br /> Section 5: <br /> PROGRAM GOALS AND REPORTING <br /> Program goals and reporting are essential in tracking program success and reaching <br /> established City recycling goals of diverting 50% of the waste stream by the end of <br /> 1995 and 65% by 2000. The City requests that, prior to program implementation and <br /> with reasonable time for preparation, current multifamily tonnage numbers be provided <br /> to the City as a way of establishing a baseline for program progress. <br /> A. Program Goals. The goals of this program are 65% participation after <br /> one year and 80% participation after three years in the recycling program of <br /> multifamily properties that receive disposal services. Ultimately the City would <br /> like 100% participation of all multifamily properties. Service Providers will <br /> notify non-participating building owners and managers of the availability of <br /> service in the first six billings once services are in place. Notices will be <br /> developed by the City in coordination with the Service Providers. Notices will <br /> explain how the program services and rates work, and list all downsizing <br /> opportunities. After the first six billings, Service Providers will send similar <br /> notices at least twice a year until the 80% goal is met. <br /> B. Program Reporting. The Service Providers will provide monthly reports <br /> on the status of the multifamily recycling program. Reports may be in a format <br /> consistent with reports prepared for Snohomish County. Such reports will <br /> include, but not be limited to, the number of apartment buildings, <br /> condominiums, and trailer parks with five or more units recycling, amount of <br /> recyclables and yard waste collected, recurrent problems with contamination, <br /> program suggestions, and summaries of customer complaints and comments. A <br /> list of all multifamily accounts that will be affected by this ordinance will be <br /> provided to the City from the Service Providers. <br /> Section 6: <br /> LIABILITY <br /> This ordinance provides for and promotes the health, safety, and welfare of the general <br /> public, and does not create or designate any particular class or group of persons who <br /> will or should be especially protected or benefited by the terms of this ordinance. <br /> Nothing contained in this ordinance is intended to be nor shall be construed to create or <br /> form the basis for any liability on the part of the City, its officers, employees or agents <br /> by reason of any action or inaction on the part of the City related in any manner to the <br /> enforcement or the implementation of this ordinance by its officers, employees or <br /> agents. <br /> 7 <br />
