b) Goodwill Recycling Center. Councilman Snider expressed concern
recycling is a scrap metal business limited to certain areas of
town. Snider does not like area it is in due to fly problem,
noise and unsightliness and does not want this problem to
reoccur.
Leonard Dietrich addressed the Council to tell of the impact
this center has on him. This is a non-profit organization
competing with him. They need guidelines as recycling centers
are attractive to bees and rodents. Ordinances are needed to
control environment, floor it is operated on and other guidelines.
A no charge license would help to show what the organization is
doing, and how they plan to carry on operations. Mr. Dietrich
suggested the Council and staff visit the Kennewick recycling
facility due to cleanliness and how effectively it is controlled.
Lee suggested staff do research and bring it back to Council.
