DATE November 14 1989
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: Ordinance Revision
BACKGROUND:
In the fall of 1988, staff in recognition of the existence of infectious waste in
our Resource Recovery process, took corrective action to ensure that all
generators of potentially infectious waste understood their duties as to its
disposal.
At that time, it was suggested that Chapter 10, Garbage and Refuse, of the
Municipal Code be amended. A suitable definition of "infectious waste" was not
found .in the Iowa Code. In its last legislative session, a definition was devel-
oped and it is now proposed to be included in our ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
I. Approve the passage of the attached ordinance defining infectious waste.
2. Disapprove the passage of the attached ordinance defining infectious waste
and refer back to Staff for further action.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the Council approve the
passage of the attached ordinance defining infectious waste.
COUNCIL ACTION:
