Communiqués a. Mayor Elizabeth G. Flores reports on the
City of Laredo Solid Waste Department. On any given
day, Created in
2003, the Solid Waste Department is responsible for collecting garbage,
recycling and lawn clippings, as well as maintaining the operation of the
City’s Landfill. The department has 132 full time employees and is comprised
of the Administration, Sanitation and Landfill divisions. The Solid
Waste Department is about to kick-off major initiatives that will help the
environment and improve customer service.
A future project includes building a compost facility that utilizes
yard waste and bio-solids from the wastewater treatment plant to produce a
beneficial compost product that will reduce the amount of waste being
deposited at the Landfill.
Additionally, the department will soon break ground on Citizens’ This division provides: ·
Twice weekly garbage pick up – one of the few ·
Weekly recycling and branch pick up – use
those famous blue bags for paper, plastic, tin and aluminum. ·
Special garbage collection service for events,
such as festivals and parades – think how messy the Washington’s Birthday
Celebration would be without them! ·
24-hour collection of animal carcasses from
city streets – animals should be inside plastic bags for the safety of the
workers. Sanitation
crews collected garbage from 50,000 households for a total of 90,000 TONS of
garbage deposited to the landfill. That’s over 5 million individual
collections in 2005! The division
operates a fleet of 24 fully automated state-of-the-art collection vehicles
equipped with mechanical “arms” to collect the trash and a Global Positioning
System used to track and direct vehicle deployment. They also operate a fleet of 24 rear loader
vehicles for recycling and branch pick-up.
In addition to residents, the department also serves 1,500 commercial
customers, collecting garbage from the downtown business district seven days
a week. Most importantly, over 3,000
tons of recycling was collected just this year. Landfill When garbage is picked up from a resident’s home, it doesn’t just disappear; it is taken to the City Landfill for proper disposal in an engineered and controlled facility. The Landfill’s mission is to ensure that the environment is protected while providing continuing service to the residents of Contrary to
popular belief, the trash is not just thrown into some big hole in the
ground. In fact, disposal areas are
lined with synthetic liners and the ground water and air all around the
perimeter of the facility is regularly monitored to insure that what goes in,
stays in. This is done to ensure that
the byproducts of the decomposing trash do not leach into the surrounding
land and water. This monitoring will continue for decades after the last load
of garbage is put into the landfill. Another
important activity of the Landfill division is recycling. The division has
developed a community outreach program, lead by Willie Bote,
Landfill
Facts: ·
Approximately 345,000 tons (690 million
pounds) were deposited in the City Landfill during 2005. ·
Over 114,000 customers have been served at the
Landfill Scale House in the last 12 months. ·
Almost 1,800 tons of branches were collected
at the City Landfill for converting into mulch, which is then made available,
free of charge to ·
Over 350 tons of goods were diverted from the
landfill and sold for scrap metal value. ·
Used oil is collected at 13 different sites
and then recycled. The division
collected 38,625 gallons in 2005. ·
Tire collection events are held monthly, which
yield over 2,000 tires per month. Talking trash is the Solid Waste Department’s business. So, you and your Willie Bote
can help them and their Willie Bote keep Cm. Agredano welcomed

VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Public hearing and introductory ordinance
altering and extending the boundary limits of the City of
Laredo, annexing additional territory of 440.32 acres, more or less, located approximately north of Bob Bullock Loop
and east of San Isidro Ranch East Point Center Subdivision, Unit 2, specifically
the San Isidro Northeast Tract, providing for the effective
date of the ordinance, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract adopting a service plan for the annexed
territory, and establishing the initial zoning of R- 1 (Single Family
Residential District). Motion to open the public hearing. Moved:
Cm. Galo Second:
Cm. Garcia For: 7 Against: 0 Abstain: 0 J. J. Houdmann, representing San Isidro Management, L. C., said
that he has received the annexation agreement and it is identical to the
previous agreements except for three sentences. Basically, what it pertains to is the park
dedication requirements, which they are in agreement with, except that it states that should an
ordinance pertaining to the park dedication be adopted, the ordinance shall
superceded any provisions established herein.
He noted that they are in agreement, but he feels that it is not
necessary because Mr. Selman explained
that if we have already platted it does not pertain to the platted
property. The next sentence is Section
IV under land use upon annexation the property owner agrees not to utilize
the tract for agricultural purposes.
This particular provision is creating a covenant running with the land
that restricts it to other use that would exclude agricultural use. This is an agreement that is a ten year
agreement. At some point in the next
10 years if the real estate businesses changes, it would be advantageous to
the developer to have the option to be able to put development aside and have
the ag exemption.
Finally, he said that the last paragraph refers to impact fees that
may be adopted by the city that states that any ordinance shall supercede any
provisions established herein. The
company is agreeing annexation fees, water availability fees, and any other
fees. He asked Council to reconsider
the section pertaining to ag-exemptions. Motion to
close the public hearing and introduce with an amendment to the ag- exemption issue. Moved: Cm. Belmares Second: Cm. Cm.
