• Stormwater projects are substantially higher than previously
• Evaluation needs to be done – It has cost $1.5M/year for two or three projects
• Infrastructure has aged – corrugated metal
• Data collection has been done – would like to raise UB fees
• Yard waste bins – yard waste goes to the GFL transfer station
• Yard waste day would be more efficient to be the same day as regular pick-up day
• Currently, yard waste pick-up day is Monday
• Changing yard waste pick-up to dedicated trash pick-up day would save thousands of
dollars
