f To whom it may -concern:
The following are the reasons in detail to .support the objections
we voiced in our petition to the proposed City, administration plans
toreduce_garbage tr•ucl: c1,eyrs from three to two members:
Safety
Piro -person crews; leave one worker alone behind a real, loader truck
out of view of the driver. In operating the inaehinery, should a
hand become caught, "there would be no one to call for help. Also,
whennecessary to ,back the truck the outride worker is out of
viers of the driver frith no one to direct bird.
Increased Wort; Load
If two people are expected to accomplish the work on the same length
route formerly handled by three, it is obvious that the route grill
take longer to complete unless there is -a significant speedup in
work rate. -While this may be possible for one "day, 'the speeded-tiprate cannot be sustained regularly -.without: also raising the `fatigue -
lo -Vel. _Aside"from the obvious disadvantages to fire workers-trho are
already tired at the end of the day, a high level of fatigue isalsoto result in more accidents. also
We estimate that It Would take about 1/3- longer to complete. 'existing
routes in -winter with tiro -member crews if workers work at normal (not
speeded -up) rates, It would take much longer in summer when the
tonnage is greatly increased. The proposed solution of fIlling;in
in summer with temporary,, part-time help is unsatisfactory- :because
such workers will. be inexperienced and `iii the past have, been unwilling
to stay `long at such hard labor as refuse collection; It. is our
belief t; hat citizens
will experience a -significant decreafie_in; quality
and-officiency_of service unless the staffing levels are maintained.
porker morale will certainly decline.
�u rresferl Solutions for Council Oonsiderati.on
We- hope that the Council vrill consider reinstatin
charge SL50 per household for g the Proposal to
garbage collection. 'Anyhardship to
elderly ,or lo,,i-income families could be alleviated by rebstes or
susnending-tile 81.50 fee to these persons. We feel that $1-50 isnot
a lot of money to pay to maintain good service (which also`iticludes
brush and -yard trash pickup 'as v;ell as
rainy ,• .large `i.tem pickup) . Indeed,
persons near to Iowa Cit, are surprised that: there is no fee for
this service, and we_:believe most people would be rril;ling to pay ,xt
if they were aware of the hardsi•ripr-•rlrich trill be imposcd.on the
workers without it. It would appear that tile-ci.tyis financial position
will not likely improve much in future years, :,and it does not seem
;- feasible to continue in a direction of-underst;iffing basic services
in order to be able to offer them "free".
WO also would like to suggest some possible ways to reduce existing
city expenditures: discontinue the news
Pickup Papor ,pic;,up (or establish
P points for citizen to deposit their -newsp pers); discontinue
length of service avrards; discontinue the practice of_•employees
driving city,cars-to and from their -city
homes; reclassifythe ]lefuse
Divisions Senior Maintenance Worker to Crew Chief (in our opinion'
this Division does not need two supervisory employees),
