118 · Mr. Toscano 'noted that the Charlottesville-Albemarle Clean Community Commission (CAC3) had raised questions about paving the recycling center on McIntire Road. Mr. Hendrix explained that in the fall CAC3 had approached Council regarding improvements to the center and Council. had agreed to patch the area and evaluate doing more substantial improvements in the spring. Mr. Hendrix noted that there is also the issue of whether that site will remain if a City-wide recycling program is adopted. Mr. Hendrix noted that the temporaryrepairs have been done to the site and even if approved, other improvements could not be done until warmer weather. Ms. Waters questioned whether it would be possible to fold the cost of maintenance of the recycling center into the Landfill budget and Mr. Hendrix replied that was a possibility. The possibility of collecting additional hazardous waste was discussed. Mr. Hendrix stated that there is a need for such a collection, but~it is a very expensive program. Mr. Toscano noted that he had been receiving calls from citizens dissatisfied with the service and rates charged by Adelphia Cable and stated that he felt the City needed to begin developing preliminary options now if the problems which exist are going to be addressed during the upcoming franchise negotiations. Mr. Toscano requested that staff develop-options for Council consideration, talk to the National League of Cities about different franchise agreements which exist, and recommended that Council explore the possibility of hiring a technical expert to help with the upcoming franchise negotiations.
