HomeMy WebLinkAboutNov 5, 1969t15. A discussion was held on setting general statements on the outdoor burning ban. Mayor Nawrocki felt this was premature and we should wait for the Pollution Control Agency to come out with additional information as to how the burning ban would be enforced. Mr. Nomicke from the Fire Department was present and explained how fire permits are issued and asked how the new regulations would affect the fire permits. It was generally felt to play this matter by ear until word is received from the Agency. Motion by Land, seconded by King that the Mayor and City Manager be authorized to enter into an agreement with Progressive Design Associates for preliminary work for the new city shop and field house remodeling. Roll Call - All Ayes. MiLch DeMars, Street Foreman, and Bob Schaefer, Mechanic, were present reporting a req~st will be made at the next Council meeting to call for bids on a new or used track loader. The one we have now broke down and since it was purchased in 1958, felt it would cost more to have it repaired than to buy another machine. The cost would be approximately $14,000.

A discussion was held on the garbage waiver requests after several letters had been received by the city office asking for lower rates for senior citizens. Copies of these letters have been forwarded to the Council. Some cases seemed justifiable like the man who lives next door to his 4-unit apartment building and would like to place his own garbage in the vat by the apartment. The Building Inspector reported about 35 to 40 calls have come in to his office asking for reduced rates and that most of the senior citizens he has talked with are willing to pay for one can service. Councilman Land suggested charging $5.00 per year for senior citizens who earn less than $3,000 per year. Councilman Logacz suggested we charge $1.00 per month as was done on the old service. Mayor Nawrocki suggested reducing the monthly rate by 75¢ making it $1.50 as this would be in line with the extended service. He also reported the State was holding hearings this week on landfills and solid waste disposal facilities. The City Manager and Building Inspector will meet with Modern Clean-up to investigate charges for extra cans. 8:05 Motion by Jeska, seconded by Logacz that the meeting~djourn at p.m. Roll Call - All Ayes. ~~, Br~ce G.
