‘Public Works DEC - 4 1972

Item I
Re: Garbage Collection - Statutory Holidaya.

Recommendation: Attached is a copy of a letter from Mr. H. Jensen, which is

self-explanatory. It is understood that the District of
Coquitlam estimate savings in the amount of $12,000.00 per year by not
picking up garbage on statutory hoildays Proportionately the City might expect -
savings of $4,000.00 to $5,000.00 per year. The Committee feels that any
possible savings would be more than off set by the confusion created and
thereby inconvenience to the public and accordingly would recommend that the
Gity'a present system of garbage pick-up be maintained.
