1975-1217_WORLD REPAIR, INCORPORATED_H4b_Agenda Report AGENDA ITEM December 17 , 1975
-\I� ve,�
TO: James S . Mocalis , City Manager
FROM: W. D. Murphy, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Report on World Repair, Inc. (WRI)
SITUATION :
The lease agreement by and between the City and World Repair ,
Inc. expires December 31, 1975. WRI has not made application for
renewal. In a recent communication with Walter Jobson, President
of WRI, Mr. Jobson requested that a legitimate non-profit organ-
ization take over the recycling operation.
WRI has not been salvaging recyclable materials for the past
year. During this time period, the site has been cleaned of
loose paper and glass . With the loss of the lease site , WRI
would dissolve , leaving the future of a recycling operation the
obligation of the City.
WRI has authorized the City to assume control of the assets now
on the corporate yard site. These assets include:
1. A paved operations area
2 . One forklift
3 . One paper baler
4 . Paper drop-off bins
5 . Aluminum
6 . Glass
7 . Paper
The forklift is in need of rewiring. When the forklift is operative
a recycling program could begin. Due to the fluctuation in price
of recyclable materials , a study should take place outlining costs
and function of a City-sponsored recycling operation.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS :
Not known at this time.
ALTERNATE ACTIONS :
1. Authorize the study of a recycling operation
showing costs and function of a City-sponsored
program.
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA . . . . . . .. . . ...... . .

costs and functions of a City-sponsored program.
