The Mayor called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall parking lot. The purpose of the meeting is to judge the dumpster screening contest.
The Solid Waste, Central Permitting, Public Works, Engineering, General Services (Building & Maintenance), Gas and Marina Departments responded to the City Manager’s challenge to develop
attractive, inexpensive “screens” for dumpsters.
The Commission viewed the prototypes and witnessed them being tested by a front-end loader.
The City Manager reported all the entries cost approximately $70-75 in material and labor. The Commission reviewed the entries once more taking into consideration how the “screening”
would have to be attached.
Consensus of the Commission was that the Engineering and Marina entries were both rated #1 with Engineering’s “marble” tile prototype for mainland use and Marina’s lattice work in keeping
with the beach tropical seascape. Solid Waste’s entry received a honorable mention.
The Mayor announced the winners.
Consensus of the Commission was for several dumpsters of each winning entry be constructed and field tested.
The meeting adjourned at 9:45 a.m.
